    Watt Wagons Ultimate Commuter 2 rides 175 miles now 1075 miles, more than 2 rides

    I've gotten used to not having the indicator by feel. I stopped using the throttle when I start, or at low speeds, as it felt like I was abusing the gears. So when I pedal, I can quickly ascertain the proper gear. If I'm slightly low geared (high resistance), I just pedal more until out of...

    Watt Wagons Ultimate Commuter 2 rides 175 miles now 1075 miles, more than 2 rides

    What were your tires at? I have the UC Commuter and been putting tires at 40. I'll have to try maximizing them to see the impact.

    California bill AB 117 to incentivize ebikes

    Ravi, just a little background on congestion. With latent demand, there is always a sizeable workforce waiting to take the place of any replaced trips. So if x people decides to use bikes (ie maybe 2% of all trips) instead of their car, there will always by x+1 willing to take the place of...

    Satiator not charging at night

    Everything is new, 300 miles on the battery. No dirt/debris, and I'm not certain how to go about looking for open circuits at this points. ???

    Kindernay gear hub oil is going to be available at the Bike Mill in Wyoming

    Kits are in. $60 for the 5 bottles and $13 for shipping. The problem with Bike Mill is they are not traditional shippers so it's not like buying from Amazon. They need to set up an account, etc.

    Satiator not charging at night

    Lol... thanks Run for the patience and guidance. That driver worked and I could access it using my computer finally, though I couldn't figure out how to over ride the profiles (messed one up- see below). Their instructions could be better- they didn't mention that FTDI driver at all and I had...

    Satiator not charging at night

    Right but the only two choices Satiator gives me for COM is either COM 1 or COM3, no matter what, and in the Ports listing in the device manager there's an error (I'm at work and this is off my memory- I think a yellow Bang!). I've restarted the computer, the satiator.... it just won't read it...

    Satiator not charging at night

    I've read the manual. Thanks. I've tried moving the USB to different ports, tried 3.0, 2.0 USBs... nothing. I get the same error.

    Bloomberg article: A $4,749 Bike Hints at Inflation Peril Looming for U.S. Economy

    The article is talking about "hints of the future" and is making a prediction that all bikes might get more expensive due to scarcity. Whether that holds over several years is the question. So if the typical person can't get their $5 grand bike they are going to get the $2 grand and under...

    Satiator not charging at night

    I commute, and my commute takes about 60% of a charge. So my intention was to come home, plug it in and forget about it, let it cool down, and then 2 hours before I go to work in the morning, the timer kicks on and charges it. The satiator kicks on, but the battery is not waking. I believe...

    Satiator not charging at night

    New to Ebikes so any suggestions would be appreciated. I have a Watt Wagon UC Pro. It's a great bike- has Archon and an EM3EV jumbo shark. I needed a second charger (one at home, one at work). So I got a Satiator to see what it can do. The description by the vendor of the EM3EV battery says...

    Known Issues & Problems with Watt Wagons Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Not sure if this helps: I get to the highest gear - 14 - (ie hardest to pedal) and I slow down/lose momentum a few mphs, so I back off a gear or two and I can speed up slightly, so on flats I'm not even getting close to 14th gear. It just seems like at 28 mph I'm hitting a restricting wall...

    Known Issues & Problems with Watt Wagons Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    So someone posted their new Watt Wagon (Hydra I think) and they showed hitting over 40 mph in ECO 1, and yet I'm barely hitting 30 mph in Sport 5. I went in to the max speed setting and cranked that up. Is there another setting I'm missing? I'm wondering how to check my settings as my...
