    Known Issues & Problems with Watt Wagons Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Yes, good advise. Pushkar fixed my power cut-out problem (he sent me a new motor and I sent him back the old motor).

    Watt Wagons Ultimate Commuter 2 rides 175 miles now 1075 miles, more than 2 rides

    Thanks for this advice. I've been trying to resolve a belt skipping problem on my Wattwagons CrossTour even after taking it to two bike shops for alignment, one of which specializes in ebikes. Its already at maximum recommended tension. I tore through one belt already. I see the gates manual...

    Have you seen the revised Helios?

    How is the controller affected by grease on the motor gears?

    Have you seen the revised Helios?

    The new motor is great. Thanks very much for sending it. It has never cut out in about 1500 miles so far whereas the old motor was cutting out several times per trip. Did you have a chance to dissect the old motor? I was wondering if it had a similar problem to the other problematic motors? I...

    Have you seen the revised Helios?

    Along with having the new Helios on the website, it looks like the CrossTour is no longer offered on wattwagons.com. At least I don't see it there anymore.

    New titanium frame ebike coming from Bolton Bikes

    More people should post comments on this video that the claim that this is one of the only titanium 1000 watt bike that exists is FALSE. Bolton also sells what looks like a rebadged Frey's at a markup

    Full suspension with Belt drive - why ?

    Thanks, I will purchase and install if its not already equipped on the CrossTour. It should already be equipped since Gates says the following: Note: The snubber is required for use by Rohloff, when using Gates Carbon Drive on any Rohloff hubs.

    Full suspension with Belt drive - why ?

    Only one side of the teeth on the belt failed. It's possible due to insufficient tension. I used 50hz (40 lbs) tension, which is the maximum recommended tension for internal gear hubs. My guess is the belt came partially off the rear sprocket when I had sudden braking and acceleration at ECO 5...

    Full suspension with Belt drive - why ?

    Wattwagons Cross Tour (hardtail), 2300 Watts, Rohloff rear hub. I was biking quite fast, around 30 mph, in ECO power level 5, when a vehicle pulled out in front of me and I braked very hard and slowed considerably to around 10 - 15 mph. When I began to pedal again at this slower speed, I forgot...

    Full suspension with Belt drive - why ?

    I'm replacing mine after 3000 miles. Some teeth on the belt failed, causing slippage.

    Some motors at 2300W cutting out intermittently

    I got the new motor from Pushkar and installed it and it works much better than the old motor. No more cutouts, much better power, and much less noise. Too bad I didn't see the info on this thread before I installed the new motor or I would have taken these protective measures prior to...

    Known Issues & Problems with Watt Wagons Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    There was something wrong with the motor on my CrossTour. Pushkar sent me a replacement motor because the old one would periodically and randomly cut out. With the new motor, I no longer have any top speed issues. I was at 35 mph in eco 3 and up to 37 in eco 4. I didn't feel comfortable going...

    Known Issues & Problems with Watt Wagons Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    That's not the issue in my case. I'm in the highest gear (14) or second highest gear and I am exerting all of my force and my pedal cadence is not that high.

    Known Issues & Problems with Watt Wagons Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    I have the same issue. Pedaling as hard as possible, Sport 5, 2300W controller/motor, max speed around 30 mph on Wattwagon CrossTour.

    What's the top speed you got on your WW, with the 2300W? 35mph possible?

    About 33 mph is the fastest I can go on flat ground with 2000/2300 watt Wattwagon CrossTour. I would say 28mph is the fastest that I can maintain continuously. Going from Econo mode to Sport mode makes no difference on my CrossTour.

    What do you use for a Helmet? (Pictures Thread)

    I like the snowboarding/ski helmets with the minimal chinbar, but they would be too hot for biking. It would be nice if they had a highly vented helmet compatible with the chin bar for summer biking
