    Rohloff Speed hubs on E-bikes (Mechanical and E-14) - Discussion

    I have a couple of theories on the e-14 issues and oil leak in general 1. The axle is not installed correctly / alignment is off when the electronic shifter is installed. Over time it leads to oil leaks. Even a 0.25 mm tolerance issue will leak over time - fatigue failure. 2. When put on...

    Have you seen the revised Helios?

    I’d agree with you. However it’s a little disingenuous for you to say “buyer beware” just because WW is a small brand. Would you say that about rebadgers like Luna Or Biktrix ? you are trying to come across as a “reasonable voice” but unfortunately it has been laid bare as just disingenuous...

    Have you seen the revised Helios?

    LMX is so cool. They actually offer it like a motorcycle. Weird but cool.

    Have you seen the revised Helios?

    Ha ha. Yeah. Apollo. It’s a reasonable option but not in the same league IMO. Definitely a big one 4 years ago but they haven’t kept up with it. I don’t believe it’s a commuter though. And I am not a big fan of external batteries on FS off-road bikes.

    Have you seen the revised Helios?

    Guess they are commenting on the individual but not the product. My guess is Reise and Muller superdelite, or a specialized como, or a nicolai. There’s really nothing else like this right now. I was / am one of the founders and this will be my third bike with WW when it’s launched. Launching...

    Have you seen the revised Helios?

    does it have Bosch motor? is it German ? Did you buy from a committed seller ? You have to share your awesome experiences with Hard tails. And did you sell it at 50% off after four years of use?

    Video piece on WW

    This is cool. What bike is the green one on the thumbnail? Great to get a somewhat under the hood look into a great company. Nay sayers be damned. You guys got it going! Congrats @pushkar and @ebike_enthusiast May I suggest riding the bikes too, not just building them. They are...

    Bikonit Battery Recall

    Ask Watt Wagons. I shipped a rack mount battery to them for my wife's pedego. They re-built it with GA cells, and upgraded the BMS to one of their new BMS. Yes, costs a little more.. but lower compared to buying a full pack. They provide 1 year warranty as well. Well worth it tbh.

    What is the ideal range on a single charge?

    I think 20-40 miles is a sweet spot if there is a dual battery option to get to 40-80 miles. That is PLENTY of range for most cases. My riding is mixed and if I can do 30 miles / charge, I am happy.

    Battery Charger at Purchase

    If you watch the video you will notice that this is more than the "typical BMS" That is why we are having this conversation. You have a better understanding than I do. All i am trying to say is what is mentioned on the video and the parameter setting. This appears to be more than a typical BMS...

    Battery Charger at Purchase

    Umm.. I don't quite understand the point you are trying to make. No, that is not correct. You can set the BMS to limit charging to % of the SOC. Greatly simplifying it but the BMS "voltmeter" component essentially needs to know what series pack it is (14S / 13S etc) and then % SOC will work...

    Anybody Snapped or Stretched Out Their Gates Belt Yet ?

    I have the labs version of the Archon X1 with 3500W nominal. Throttle is restricted at 1000W. I am at ~3900miles with no issues. Belt hasnt frayed too much but if i look closely I can see flakes on the edges (almost like fuzz / lint balls) I haven't noticed belt stretch, but I do have a spare...

    Kindernay versus 11-42T for Hydra, worth the money?

    My understanding is that 1. Kindernay has higher gear range than an 11-42 cassette. 2. It is easier to swap out and maintain. Looks like it is much stronger than a cassette in WW tests. 3. Looks like WW is working on a belt solution for it - so you will have the option of upgrading to the...

    4/1 update on Shipping and delivery

    Thanks for the heads up. 1. Good to know founders price is not increasing. Has been my worry all along. We need the frames though dude.. cant wait to start riding. 2. Delays are understandable. We have had better visibility from Watt Wagons than other vendors. Sucks that it is always delays...

    Motor efficiency Standard Bafang G510 Benchmark Bosch CX + 15% Bafang Archon X1 + 30%

    So just to summarize 1. So you used 705Wh on the stock battery with stock bafang controller. 2. Your friend used 500+100 = 600 Wh on Bosch 3. Your Archon x1 is 30% more efficient. So anecdotally that means with X1 your consumption is 0.7 *705Wh = 493Wh ? is that how you are seeing it too ...

    Onyx - did they go out of business?

    Weird .. I am pretty sure the website has a landing page but nothing else. I just took a screenshot a second ago.
