I almost forgot to register with the Commuter Companion Program, but thanks for the inadvertent reminder Pushkar! :)

Before converting over to the Brooks B17 saddle I was using a Spongy Wonder bike seat due to typical bicycle seats causing issues with my perineum nerve. I'm probably a couple of hundred miles away from fully breaking in my Brooks B17, but even after riding a couple of hours the saddle is not...

Wow! I'm glad 2019 was a great year for you, and I'm impressed with the upgrades. Thank you for taking the risk of being an ebike startup company, and your dedication to great customer service. Now, how do I go about getting a Watt Wagons beanie cap? Also, when you get tired of cussing out...

When I'm at a traffic light, or some other complete stop, and my PAS level is at a 3 or 4, I usually shift down to 9th or 8th gear on the Rohloff. If I'm at a complete stop, but I want to take off quickly, then I'll have the PAS at 5, but the Rohloff at 6th or 7th gear, then shifting up as my...

Wow! If the Solar Trailer works out for you I'd like to try one out when I do an excursion on the Northeast Texas Trail.

Hi BillP, I think the extra watts would help on trail riding and rough terrain. I'm currently using a Gates 60 tooth front chainring, and a Gates 19 tooth rear sprocket. The Gates belt drive size is 125t. I had the front chainring and belt drive left over from my previous homebrew ebike, and...

I hope you keep us posted with your Solar Trailer. I'm guessing the trailer will be used to recharge a secondary battery while another is in use?

When I saw the Bafang readout showing 271 miles on the odometer I was a bit surprised. I really enjoy ebiking, and I honestly feel like I don't get out often enough, but since I've got a couple of hundred miles in, I figure I'd share my thoughts and findings on my Ultimate Commuter. On my...

Hi Slowpoke, I have nothing but positive reviews for Watt Wagons and their customer service. My Ultimate Commuter arrived without any mechanical problems. The worst thing was a scuff on the frame that came about via transit. This buffed out easily. When it comes to answering questions I've...

I'd be interested to hear your take on the eggrider.

Will do. My update was done late yesterday, so after installing the chainring and belt I only had time to cruise around for a couple of miles. As time and the miles add up I'll let you know my thoughts on the modification.

My previous bicycle utilized a Gates Carbon Belt drive, and I had a couple of leftover pieces that were new and sitting around. A 60 tooth count front chainring, and a 125t belt. I noticed the Rohloff has an amazing gear range, but even without the battery on the UC I wasn't needing to tap...

Hi jono1331, I totally concur regarding the Ultimate Commuter. When my previous ebike started having problems I contemplated just replacing that part, but then realized as a whole it wasn't designed for ebike use and probably better off replacing the whole bike for one designed for an electric...

@Feliz besides running your WW at 1600 watts, what other settings did you modify? If there's a profile you copied online and it's easier to send a link please do. I'm a veteran of Desert Shield and Desert Storm, and I freely enlisted out of high school. However I think it would have sucked...

Hi Feliz, I don't feel I ride often enough, and probably only doing about 15 to 20 miles a week time permitting. I'm still working a 9-5 job, and when it comes to commuting I can either go 23 miles directly to work from home, or jump on a light rail and spend a couple of hours in transit...

You are correct Mike.

Thanks Ravi. The angle on my light is due to the bats and low flying drones where I ride. ;)

Hi Feliz, Thank you for the greeting. Sorry to hear about shipping messing up your cables, and your torque sensor. On my shipment the frame got a little scuffed, and the battery was at the bottom of the box, but fortunately wasn't damaged. I'm impressed by the number of Kilometers you've put...

I ordered an Ultimate Commuter with a custom frame from Watt Wagons, and it arrived last Friday, October 25th. A little back story on my order. I converted my bicycle into an ebike using a BBSHD mid drive motor. Unfortunately the peripherals didn't hold out, notably the rear wheel, and I...

In November of last year I completed my first ebike using a Bafang BBSHD and a Priority Continuum Bicycle. For me, I enjoy cycling, but I've found an ebike brings back the exhilaration of being a kid and the excitement of freewheeling all over again. Long story short, I've parted ways with my...
