    My Atom Arrived - Not Quite As Expected/Ordered

    Go figure WW went dark after being in regular contact with them once again after I sought assurance that I was 'first on the list' for when this next batch of controllers ships. I too have the legal group benefit through my employer but for whatever reason I've been hesitant to utilize it for a...

    Watt Wagons Critical Product Availability Status

    I have not heard back from WW after I sought assurances that my order would not be passed over once again or that this new date was not just to get me off their back for a few more weeks. I can 100% confirm queue jumping. Todd ordered his bike on 8/31 and received it yesterday, M620 with X1...

    Trevor Riemsdyk, NHL, Stanley cup winner, endorsing Watt Wagons !!!

    @scrambler early interactions with WW led you to believe they were honest but was this before or after you gave them money? Their Chinese suppliers have nothing to do with taking my money for my X1-only order and then ignoring me and flat out lying to me multiple times and then letting my...

    @rtp https://www.wheel-parts.shop/en/ for spokes is what you want, they ship Sapim straight from Belgium for the best price I've seen. Pretty much made a point to buy all my EU-produced parts from EU retailers since their RRP is lower than USMSRP and no tax on exports. Schwalbe Marathon E-plus...

    The glaring fact is that someone completely unaffiliated with WW felt the need to help a WW customer because WW was jerking them around. Regardless of whether the issue was solved or not, an unafilliated third party the customer did not pass their information on to or consent to having their...

    I'm not sure why people are still making the shipping containers and startup excuses... I kind of felt bad going on a tirade but then I hop on tonight and see this week - literally 2 days ago - another customer got their order that was placed over 6 weeks after my order... with guess what - an...

    I let my Y chromosome keep me male, not that that has any bearing on the importance of one's experience or how they feel about it, but this is some real bull... WW is out of controllers again and I am still waiting on my order for a motor made back in July of 2021. They had controllers when I...

    Pics of places you ride your Hydra

    I have Tannus in some 29x3.0 Vittoria Cannolis - you trim the edges to fit (3.0 did not require any trimming) and I'm using I believe 2.4" Revoloop ultralight tubes. 41g per tube, and the material feels like a less-stretchy, unlubed latex-free condom - sensual! You can also get Tannus for...

    It's bonkers to think how much maritime shipping happens on any given day. Even worse that these things burn what is essentially tar at room temperature... I bet 15% of it is 1000 flavors of the same cheap garbage bound for an Amazon warehouse :p In more positive news WW got back to me and...

    Hydra Black - Has anyone received theirs yet?

    @Csubi I don't think the founders edition is different from others' cases where people are left waiting and/high & dry and in the dark. I ordered just an X1 motor back in July and I see bikes ordered in late August are getting built. Getting in touch with the company for me has been pulling...

    Hydra Black - Has anyone received theirs yet?

    No worries. I too got the email with the controller update stating all outstanding orders will be shipped out by end of month so I'm not too concerned until that date passes - though I've held my breath through a great many dates, including ones I was told that led me to believe motors and...

    Hydra Black - Has anyone received theirs yet?

    @Merle Nelson I was told Hydra Black ships with the motor installed and WW installs the controller in house. This is what I was told the first time I saw a Hydra Black with X1 ordered after mine ship out months ago. So there were controllers when I placed my order but no motors. Then by the time...

    Hydra Black - Has anyone received theirs yet?

    Interesting. I placed an order back in July for just an Archon X1 motor and it has yet to ship :(

    I'm in the US and tried doing this, 10 months later still waiting on my X1 motor. Can confirm not as easy as I thought it would be. I'm glad they finally got things in stock to cover current orders but I will continue to hold my breath until I have mine in my hands. I'd like to get something a...

    Throttle problem

    @kwseattle modded their throttle with a Honeywell SS49E hall sensor for a much more linear response. The response on the stock one basically shows little sensitivity in the beginning & end of the range with a steep ramp in the middle. IIRC KW said the throttle smoothed things out and made it...

    Archon light adapter?

    I'll say this about integrated light solutions from experience - more wires to run/deal with when trouble shooting, added load on the battery, potential for bad things to happen if there's any electrical feedback issue. I think as long as the connection is fused and there's a diode in there then...

    Watt Wagon direct competitors?

    @Rome I think you may be confused about components. The motor a bike ships with has no bearing on the brakes, groupset, suspension, wheels, headset, etc. You can get the S-works Turbo Kenovo that ships with nearly $9,000 retail value in bicycle components minus frame & electronics, or you can...

    Got my replacement wheel for the Hydra from Nextie

    The valve stem wouldn't be a bad idea if you can get the magnet offset to the side far enough and mount the sensor further up the stay on the rear triangle. My frame has a mount for a spoke magnet sensor (I think the Hydra does as well?) but no way to mount it closer to where the valve stem is...

    Got my replacement wheel for the Hydra from Nextie

    @Deacon Blues I have 2 Nextie's - 29" x 46mm & 26" x 90mm. Rims for the 29s had an extra layup which added 30g and they were 498g & 501g so pretty much right on the money for the product page. They came with little tags showing the roundness, flatness, and weight. Th 26" rims took a little...

    @Acme good details, sounds like the X1 version does both voltages and doesn't require a specific voltage stock controller to replace, which is good news if there's ever the option again to upgrade a motor since I have a backup M620 sitting here. Also good info on how the power levels compare -...
