    Worth the wait, Hydra is here.

    Nice.. I had taken data from like 30 rides, just miles, ft-elevation, and watthours charger put back in when I got home. Best fit is: watthours ~= 6.828 * <miles> + 0.094489 * <ft-elevation> That ride for me would be near 691wh+-5% probably. Theoretically that'd be 81.2% of if pack is...

    Travelanche broken pivot gusset.

    Awe that sucks. Think bolt came out first putting extra stress on other side?

    I don't really have good idea. I'm rarely using like a constant amount of power >500watts, its just so varied, and display updates so slowly. I've kinda learned not to look at display at those times, haha, only when motor has been off for a few seconds to get a better idea of pack's actual...

    Motor amps and battery amps are common settings, Innotrace just seems to call it 'motor torque' and 'torque'. Googling motor amps and battery amps will get you better explanations, eg: https://forum.esk8.news/t/battery-amps-motor-amps-and-duty-cycle-please-explain/9414/93

    Currently just swaping them. But I have parts to wire them up in parallel w/ideal diodes protecting both packs. Just not felt very motivated recently, sooner or later will get around to it though. But yeah I want to see if I can see smaller voltage drop on climbs. Or maybe even see if I can...

    Oh and after The bottom shock mount makes it a little difficlut, eg Mara shock mounted inverted doesn't work.. see picture below. The arrow points to little bit that hits. Its so close. Could probably modify the rear mount to make room. Samsung 35E. Only opened one of the packs, assume...

    The bike is so open. Can see where cables enter frame behind motor, its kinda hidden by swingarm but there is just a big opening there. If I lived somewhere where it rained more than a couple weeks a year I'm sure I'd care more. But my plan is just avoid water, lol. Also switched to 48v, got...

    Got 3 velcro straps to hold battery in place. Picture below was testing straps out.. work well. I've now gone on two rides with 2 batteries. One ride I took two dead batteries rather than waiting on charger. 2nd ride took a 2nd battery just-in-case, probably could have gotten home without...

    Programming cable plugs in where the display plugs in, you unplug display and plug in programming cable. Like on the front of bike there is bundle of wires, find the wire that goes between bike and display, unplug those two and then connect programming cable to wire going to bike.

    Luna X2 Impressions (Hydra Comparison)

    Cool writeup, wish he’d had gone for the VESC controller. X2 w/VESC vs Hydra w/Innotrace is IMO the hard to choice. X2 is also good bit cheaper than a Hydra, you could always replace a couple parts you were not happy with and stil come out ahead. I dunno ignoring cost I’d still consider it...

    Used old mousepad to make a sleeve to put spare battery in... didn't measure plan much and just wingged it.. had scissors and a hot glue gun and hoped for the best. Did keep two goals in mind: Two layers of mouse pad on the bottom, for extra cusion between battery and frame. Keep it tight so...

    Motor Maintenance

    Is issues only with smallest cogs on chainring? I use 750-1250watts a bunch offroad climbing, but that's not with smallest cogs. And on street I generally always am using 1000 watts.. but I have 15-21mph speed limit.. so again not in smallest cogs. -- Motor helps get me up to speed from a...

    My Atom Arrived - Not Quite As Expected/Ordered

    Ah I see they're also basically running a LBS: https://ebike.rehab/ I mean even before getting my bike seeing they had rented that space and had more than couple employees.. yet like the number of people with bikes seems so low.. like didn't seem to add up. This makes more sense.

    My Atom Arrived - Not Quite As Expected/Ordered

    I mean this is what happens with every failing buisness to some degree. If they can't refund money for a returned bike until they resell it, if cash flow is that low clearly they've got issues. Their intentions have always seemed good to me, but at some point reality kicks in and the numbers...

    I went with black composite because after some pedal strikes alloy get all scratched up looking and composite generally looks fine, lol.

    I feel like torque sensor on my motor must not be calibrated correctly, or something. I run with sensitivity 0 on every level and only wish I could go lower, lol. 1 isn't bad but 2-ish is already starting to be ghost pedaling effort needed to get level's full output.

    1075 miles. Can't really see any wear on front tire, only on rear.. its not really needing replacement yet but will sometime this summer so wanted spare on hand. I usually run like 25 rear 22 front, though I don't really get that exact.

    Also ordered a Schwalbe Johnny Watts 2.8" tire to put on rear.. not right now but I'll have it when needed. The Nobby Nic on rear is wearing much faster than the front... makes sense with weight on rear tire, plus low PSI, plus lots of miles on paved paths. 2.8" will be a bit narrower...

    Replaced Stamp1 pedals with OneUp composite pedals. I don't recall ever 'needing' to replace pedals before, usually after a couple years I just want new pedals. But after only few months with Stamp1s one of them has some play in it and its annoying me. I wasn't able to 'fix' it.. really just...
