    Watt Wagons Critical Product Availability Status

    @Leon S. Kennedy so I saw in another thread someone mentioned they are still waiting on programming harnesses and it will be 'another week or so' - you're a brave man not chasing after $200 of product/service you paid for. At least the motor does have some SHC 100 globs and smudges around it...

    Picked up my motor from UPS, and as predicted no programming cable or any other documentation (would have expected a packing slip or receipt, not a big deal, but odd) What else is odd is when I made the purchase the options (and price) led me to believe this was a whole M620 kit (I selected fat...

    Undertaking legal actions against Watt Wagons

    @Mike_V stop the fanboyism. If you want the company to succeed then addressing these issues should be a top priority. You think you're championing 'pioneers' but in reality you're damaging the brand [even more] by association with your unconstructive trolling. I literally have a sales receipt...

    Crazy thing is the top tube in the photo is slightly different - slightly modified design of the E05 frame. Potentially to get around Luna licensing for that frame in NA? The Area13 site diagram for the frame is literally the Dengfu diagram for the E05 though. Unsure if the cable ports are the...

    @kwseattle I spent $7.99 to have it diverted to a pickup location but am going to have to spend my time (and gas - not something I normally whine about but $5.27 for cash at Arco is too f'n much) to go get. I would rather hide in the bushes outside my old place and be weird with the UPS person...

    Undertaking legal actions against Watt Wagons

    I am a very small dog in the game and the longest I waited for parts during this pandemic was maybe 3 weeks or so waiting on made-to-order rims to get available space on an air freight, after about 4-5 weeks of lead time building the rims themselves. I placed an order for an M620 motor & goodies...

    Holy F me in the A. WW shipped my $2000 motor to my old address via UPS after I paid for it to be sent via USPS (automatic forwarding to my new location) and after emailing them requesting them to contact me for a new shipping address before sending it. I now have to jump through some ridiculous...

    @Fast n' Furious my frame's external dimensions show the seatpost centered, but the mounts for the motor are offset to the side and when you install the motor, the motor sits flush with the frame on the drive side and sticks out ~2cm on the non-drive side. There is a plastic cover that came with...

    IME for mechanical stuff that needs to fit together, aside from available materials, FDM just has too many limitations and deviations. With SLA I know that if what I'm modeling fits together and works, then the SLA print will work - and I don't have to do any extra tom-foolery with the model to...

    DVO Topaz T3 - 190x50 but I got a pair of offset bushings. Only using a single offset bushing so the effective shock size is 188x50 - which is pretty close to the 185x45/44 they ship on the bike that uses the E06. I checked the frame through the full travel of the shock this way and there's no...

    Offset is normal, the motor itself is not symmetrical. Looking at the outside of my E06 frame the seatpost is centered, but the actual mounting points that line up with the motor mounts are not. The mounts on the motor are offset at least 1cm to the side. You can see here in the CAD for the...

    @tomjasz not CNC'd but SLA printed - white is Tough Resin & dark is Somos Taurus. the end plate with the plug is actually FDM printed ABS but I don't think I'll ever use FDM printing for anything like this again. I've used MJF in the past but the surface finish & cost on SLA printing as well as...

    Interesting about the battery disconnect... If there's no switch on the battery and no anti-spark connector then it's going to spark - reading the meanual on my BMS it says it goes to sleep after a timer that can be set by the user or can be turned off via the app as TDA mentioned so I would...

    Both 220mm Magura MDR-P rotors I bought for my wheelsets came warped right out of the package. I have spent so much time trying to true them but being just the floating steel ring around the aluminum carrier/spider it just feels like I am moving the bend around the ring instead of straightening...

    In case your battery won't fully charge

    I think that 50mV padding is there to increase cell cycle life as well as ensure parallel groups stop charging with a little wiggle room to balance up other groups. Not sure if these BMS's have active balancing or just passive, but if it's just passive then the balancing may only be discharging...

    Lessons Learned After Owning A Fat Hydra’s For A While

    Brutal! Which tires are those? I had hoped the 90mm Nexties would help square the tire profile a bit and keep those shoulder lugs from poking outward... At least I have time before winter here, I may request Nextie send me an 80mm replacement rim for the rear instead to avoid this and still be...

    Motor Maintenance

    @kwseattle Northeast Seattle Tool Library has a bike shack with tools and all the fun stuff like spools of cable & housing, though I'm not sure if they've switched back to normal operation from covid precautions. There's another place that lets you rent out a 'bay' with all the tools and...

    Lessons Learned After Owning A Fat Hydra’s For A While

    @Cuz Vinny nice to know about the Nextie's. I have a Dengfu E06 but one of my 90mm Nextie's had a defective rim bed, so I'm waiting for a replacement - happened to be the rear one so I didn't get a sense of chain rub with it on - I have Vee Snowshoe 2XL's (5.15") and 4.8" studded Snow Avalanches...

    My Atom Arrived - Not Quite As Expected/Ordered

    @Shel-done if you have to get your money back via CC dispute and WW does not issue a proper refund like they are obligated to do, I highly recommend filing a complain with the FTC's CPB. People have lives to live and no business should get away with jerking people around like this. Everybody...

    @Csubi those numbers for ships waiting off the west coast seem low in comparison to pre-stopped-giving-a-s*it-about-covid times - though I'm sure there's a backlog sitting in port waiting to be loaded... but to compare those two Norfolk averaged about 1,300,000 TEUs in annual imports for...
