Only going to make it to the 40s next week, so these may be the last of the season. Will be lucky to catch only a handful of days between now and March. Love this watt Wagons Hydra more everyday I ride it and it's going to be hard just staring at it all winter.

Eco 1and 2 give smooth startup with x1 stock settings.Gets a little jumpy in Eco 3 and above. I only use Eco 3 for climbing and starting from stopped on a hill, otherwise I'm usually in Eco 1 or 2 on road or trail. Eco 5 seems more like sport 1 - which I only use to climb the last hill up to my...

For Sport mode to be useful off road you either need to climb some seriously sick stuff, have some wide open carriage paths that run mostly straight or have access to a motocross track. No good on single track trails without bouncing off trees. I did a pretty decent rocky, rooty climb that I...

I have a 500w hub bike and I use the throttle all the time whenever I need more power. It rarely gets used on my Ultra mid drive bike. Sometimes use it to make an on trail u turn or to get going/ mount the bike from a dead stop if I'm in an awkward spot where I couldn't mount the bike and pedal...

More leaves on the ground and the colors are turning to pastel this weekend in the metro Boston area. Finally made it to the Middlesex Fells on Friday and had a deer bound past me pretty close while I was performing a "safety check" (at the rock pic) which got the heart rate going. Stuck to the...

Right. Like holding the rider responsible for the way they ride instead of the equipment based on specs of an of average weight rider x arbitrary nominal wattage ratings used for marketing position. All of it needs enforcement, so enforce a speed limit in areas that speed is an issue. Make new...

The trail is a bit harder to see but the colors are so awesome this time of year.

😂. I like to follow some of these guys at a distance and then speed up closer to them when they aren't looking back. When they look back I just casually pedal. Some of them look back a lot when they see a guy in flannel casually pedalling yet catching up quickly.

A little slippery out there yesterday with all the leaves, pine needles, roots, and mossy rocks after a day of rain.

I worked my way up to 42 miles on my Surface 604 Colt last year. Required a lot of level 1 assist and switching off the motor on flat sections, so my legs couldn't take much more than that.

Almost got taken out by a little yipper (or I almost took it out is more likely) on leash passing by on a multi use path. Owner on the phone not paying attention and dog darted at me. I was grateful that I didn't hurt the dog or myself, owner not so much, just continued their call like nothing...

I dropped my bike off to get work done on it almost 3 weeks ago and is ready to pickup today. Earlier in the summer it was one day turn around. Gregg told me that local college kids ebikes have been keeping the repair shop quite busy and was up front about turn around time. So many different...

Love riding my Watt Wagons Hydra on the roads, so comfortable and fun keeping speeds over 20mph no matter the incline/ surface. If you go fs route I would suggest a rear shock that you can stiffen/relax on the fly as needed. The Manitou Mara I have on my bike is just about perfect for this.

Eco1 or 2 on trails depending on much effort I want to put in or how much adrenaline I want to produce. Sometimes jam into eco3 when trail gets steep or starting off at the base of a hill and need quick acceleration. I've only come across one hill that I think I would need sport mode to get...

I got about 750 miles to .75 wear and changed the cassette at 1500 on my bafang Ultra bike.

With my bafang Ultra, the slight delay in motor cutoff when you stop pedalling is enough to change the gear. I developed a habit to stop pedalling when my left foot is in the down position like stepping on a clutch in a car to shift.

I'm running Johnny Watts which are great on the road, mediocre in loose gravel, but handle most trail conditions. Pretty happy with them as I don't have much loose gravel to ride just lots of roots, rocks, and roads.

Had mine come loose which caused shifting issues first . Glad your fall wasnt more serious.

Nice video. It helped me find the entrance to top section of the single track going down into Belmont where you ran into some rocky drops. I have more fun coming up single track like these days than going down. I don't do many logs or rock walls either due to the low clearance of mid drive. My...

I also have a cruiser type ebike but I'm happy using my full suspension emtb as an all round bike. Slack angles these days make for more comfortable position. And the suspension makes for a nice cushy ride. The only downside imo is the efficiency you lose when pedalling due to the suspension but...
