More fun to look forward to, then? I hope you're wrong, @tomjasz, but I know some of the issues Bafang has created - though they seem to affect resellers the worst.

@Acme I nearly noted it wouldn't be long before you turned up, but figured I'd treat you with charitability and not call you out. It's great you've had a good experience, but it's something many of us seem not to share. I would never have ordered had I known the experience I'd have. You can...

Unfortunately, I can't speak any more highly, and I haven't had an experience as bad as yours - between the seemingly endless string of unexplained or barely explained delays, piss poor inventory management (even accounting for logistics issues), near silence through any communication channel...

There's some beautiful photos here! They really make me miss Utah and Colorado. Here's my Wattwagons experience 9 months after ordering...

So I've encountered a trap for new Australian players... Not a Watt Wagons issue, but might be avoidable with changes from them, and impact can definitely be minimised with prep. DHL reached out to say that because the import is listed as an electric bike, I need to apply for a vehicle import...

EDIT: I just got a SMS notifying me the bike has shipped! 🎉 The end of the week came and went without word... though I suppose I shouldn't be surprised knowing I've been a week or two away from delivery for almost 3 months now. I want different tyres to those included (a hybrid like the...

This doc (pages 10 & 16) from Kindernay explicitly confirms Royal Blood and Shimano mineral oil are compatible. I know I'm late to the party here, but I figured this was info worth sharing given the availability/price of the Kindernay oil.

Yeah - that situation is a bad one - and a large contributor to the concerns I raised earlier in this thread that WW are insolvent, basically robbing Peter to pay Paul. I don't assume WW are trying to steal from people, so that's the only reasonable explanation I could find. It puts you in a...

Gregg came back overnight (my time), sending through the programming info, and explaining that they'd had issues with the shipping broker, causing delays. He anticipates the bike will ship this week. @onlineaddy, if you've lost hope of a resolution with WattWagons, you could consider a...

Gregg already agreed to those credits - which I must say I thought was going above and beyond, so kudos where it's deserved. While I expect the credit may trickle in slowly over time, I don't think any of that should affect fulfilment of the bike. I'll continue to update one way or another, but...

So it's now been over 2 weeks since I last heard from Gregg. He was working on the credit for the lights, shipping cost difference (nice), and $150 delay credit that wasn't applied to my reluctant fork upgrade (very nice), along with the shipping info. I also requested the details necessary to...

I say this without having my bike yet, so a large grain of salt is healthy here... The main issues we seem to have are with the current available on the lighting circuit (although I can't find specs for the lighting circuit anywhere) and the lack of wire routing options for a rear light on the...

This is the ideal solution I was envisioning, but thought noone would go to the effort of implementing. I don't have my bike yet, so I don't know how you might wire this in though...

I figure you could have a second bottle-mounted shark pack wired in (either with the switching dual battery adapter or in parallel), but if you've got the second internal battery already, not so much.

This is a super-enjoyable, informative write-up! Does anyone have any thoughts on using dielectric grease on the battery contacts with/instead of the neoprene covers? It generally seems like a good idea, but I'm mindful that there's likely no seal on the battery compartment, meaning that water...

Not yet, but I've been cause of the delay this time (for the past 2 weeks or so) - after a note from Gregg, I was considering whether to replace the integrated Supernova lights with the Magicshine Zeus - this is because the DRL is always-on (not an issue unless that's true when the bike is off)...

Yeah that makes sense - if the lack of parallel cells (because they're tied up in series) leads to voltage sag, which will stress the battery more leading to shorter range. I suppose that's kinda the other side of the coin in the example I gave in my previous post. I suppose with this in mind...

Is it just me or does the voltage/range change not seem quite right? My understanding was that generally speaking, higher voltage generally leads to less strain on the motors and less wastage as current-driven heat, both of which would shorten battery life (assuming the only difference is the...

I had to take a break from all this with other stuff going on in my life, knowing that conversation here isn't meaningfully changing the outcome, and many are objecting to my updates. That said, there's been some movement to update on. My recent outreach wasn't ignored. Pushkar changed...

I care plenty about ebikes - mostly the status of the one I paid thousands of dollars for and was owed months back. I care so much I'm doing plenty to find out where it is publicly and privately. It's a bit hard to post about all my great experiences and happy rides with my ebike without that bike.
