Unless you are running out of time I'd reply back they have 1 day to provide confirmation that refund has been initiated or you will file the dispute.

Looks like Bolton (and also Bikonit) are switching to a Rohloff hub which should help with reliability. https://area13ebikes.com/products/md1000 Unfortunately it seems they will also have CANBUS motors (good luck programming / refining them). These bikes come from Leili in China so you're...

You do realize the wathog with sturmey archer is the mary poppins of IGH? It's not a capable IGH for a Bafang Ultra. Biktrix originally was planning to offer the IGH version and abandoned it due to so many issues.

Sorry you lost me there. It's not like they ship a lot of bikes to customers outside of North America, so I wouldn't expect them to have expertise here. If they made assurances up front to the contrary that would be one thing.

Just FYI that prices will be increasing April 1 by 15%. Got this email a week or so ago but not sure if it has been reported here.

No sure I understand your chart. Are you saying in Eco 3-4 and Sport 1-3 you can only hit ~30 mph if you feather in the throttle, but if you mash throttle you can hit 50+ mph? For other PAS you can only hit ~45 mph whether you feather in or mash throttle? Or are these just readings on your...

What happened to putting the bike upside down? It's by far the easiest way to take a video of the overrrun in the comfort of your home, garage, or back yard. No need to hang your rear wheel from a tree or find a road without traffic. Not that sound matters here, just rotate the pedal by your...

Nope, I ordered from Watt Wagons (and recommended it to others) because I believed in the company which (at the time) had a reputation for providing a top notch product, attention to detail, 5 star customer service, innovation, was actively engaged and well regarded in the forums, and had a very...

You want to demonstrate that when you stop pedaling (or stop applying throttle) the chainring keeps moving, so hold the pedals fixed rather than let them spin which could simply be due to inertia and not the motor continuing to apply power. The chainring will move if the motor is applying...

I do read. Note I was the first to point out the pink elephant in the room, that your 5 second overrun wasn't normal, and suggested it may just be a faulty controller as opposed to the canbus programming. The reason you want to put the bike upside down is so you can do what Gionnirocket had...

No stand? Turn the bike upside down if you have to. This is not that hard. As far as controller, it's been explained more than once you cannot put a UART controller on a CANBUS motor without a translation chip. Do you even read any of the posts above? Happy to provide suggestions but you...

Yeah, but the 5 second overrun isn't normal, sounds like a warranty issue to me, not necessarily a programming issue. Or do all of the canbus ultra motors have this quirk? First I've heard of anyone with that particular issue. Generally the complaint is the speed limiter and lack of smoothness.

I might only mention ebike in small print and make the bike more subtle so it looks more like a TV, assuming that's your goal. Maybe picture a charger or plug instead of bike?

Also, did you buy your Warthog from Bolton or direct from Leili? What did they say regarding your issues with the 5 second overrun? Bolton is partnering with Watt Wagons on a bike and may be an upcoming Watt Wagons dealer, so if you are in their neck of the woods they may be able to upgrade...

No No, doesn't work that way. It's not just the connectors, the canbus motor has internals that will only work with a canbus controller. Short story you can't put a UART controller on a canbus motor without a canbus/UART translation chip between motor and controller. Watt Wagons / Innotrace...

I don't think your issue is CANBUS per se, sounds like you have a faulty controller. As bad as the default programming is, it shoudn't surge for 5 seconds after you stop pedaling. I would contact Johnny at Bafang for warranty service. Johnny Qin Technical Support Executive BaFang Electric...

Why mum on estimated pricing for PAS upgrade or did I miss it above?

As someone else noted, rear hub motors add unsprung weight to the wheel so they don't work so well with rear suspension. Also the weight in the wheel adds affects rotational mass which I believe increases inertia, but other than that I'm not sure it would be all that different than a rear hub...

Thanks. I had mentioned the issue a while back but I guess it wasn't visible enough. https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/attaching-images-in-conversations-diabled.35419/

How much different it is than riding a torque sensing rear hub? I can appreciate that higher power would be exhilarating but not really sure it comes from anything but that?
