I think he's waiting on parts.

My cable is in one of the boxes in the garage with all the other bike stuff I accumulated over the years. The t-shirt FREY sent me takes up more room in that box than the small cable. I ended up upgrading to Archon so never ended up using it either but I have a buddy who will be grateful when...

I think the cable is like $10 bucks, so a pretty trivial investment out of north of $10K in your case with three CCs. I might give smooth tune a try unless it already has it. I'm guessing you'll get more than $10 of benefit from your initial investment.

End of day it doesn't matter, Bafang has gone that direction and no amount of hand wrenching will change it. Any more 2022 Bafang Ultra M620 Ebikes to add to the list?

Supply chain issues, unexplained delays, and communication issues.

Damn, what a cluster. Seems they either suckered you in to taking a pre-production bike or they are actually planning to produce this POS. Not good no matter how you look at it.

I still have no clue what he's talking about, sounds like it's the actual plastic cover on the battery. It could also be the wiring cover in the frame behind the battery. Both have two screws. I just looked at my CC battery and the plastc lip theoretically could serve double duty as a pseudo...

Not sure what you mean either. Internal battery so what would you cover?

This one looks kinda interesting. CF frame with budget components, an odd pairing. Elektrek says Bafang Ultra motor, but has a touchscreen display and appp support so perhaps a next gen version of the Ultra or M600? Battery capacity is a bit weak for Bafang Ultra at 700 Wh unless, again, it's...

Nope, last heard he was laid off. Virtual reviews without hands on to challenge reviewer pre-conceptions didn't seem to be a good mix, and I think EBR realized the format just can't substitute for a real review.

Before the chip shortage there was no problem upgrading, as long as you could stomach the price. Option seems to be gone from the WW site (unless you are buying a bike), guessing it's a temporary thing until chip shortage resolves. Here is the user report...

Apollo users actually reported the most efficiency gains after upgrading to Archon, granted it was sample size of 1. Makes sense that, if anything, the Luna mod to double the current made things less efficient than more.

The Hydra Black is assembled by Dengfu. That's why it's priced lower and can't be customized, other than upgrading the controller and adding a spare battery. The battery specs are: 48V, 800Wh, 18650 cells. The other Hydras are built in house by Watt Wagons and come with 52V battery.

The WW Hydra Black is 48V. Probably will be the same battery as the Z1 since both builds are sourced from Dengfu. Not sure any Hydra Black been delivered, will be interesting to see if similar battery issues manifest. I would think anyone buying the Hydra would upgrade to the Archon...

AFAIK the Luna M600 firmware was outsourced to Bafang who sent an engineer to Luna to tune. Original firmware on very early motors was smoother, may have actually been stock firmware. The firmware that went on most Luna M600 motors prior to 2021 was worthless at low PAS, apparently was...

Strange that Biktrix say upgrading the firmware is a one way street. Luna sells the BESST tool with at least 3 different firmwares (for the M600) and pretty sure you can upgrade or downgrade to any of them. My recollection is that some flashed an older version of the firmware to access option...

It's really hard to come up with an alternative to the Ultra. It's a monster mid drive, somewhat unrefined, but oodles of power. Watt Wagons used to be a company I would recommend, due to their superb aftermarket controller for the Ultra, but they're going thru a lot of turmoil right now. If...

You can verify it once you get your bike (will have different connectors for display). Not a much magic to how they work. Cadence senses how fast you are pedaling. Torque senses how hard you are pushing on the pedals. Then it's up to the controller what to do with that information to blend...

I'm not sure that's correct. AFAIK Bafang is in the process of transitioning the Ultra from UART to CANBUS. No guarantee you will get one or the other unless Biktrix has negotiated something where they only get remaining stock of UART motors. At this point I think you're more likely to get a...

You were flamed for suggesting Watt Wagons wasn't following up with him because he wasn't adding sugar. As it turned out, that wasn't the case. Instead of trying to re-write the narrative of what you were flamed for how about waiting to see how things shake out for Wookie and others? You...
