    Why Put 12 Speed Groups On Bafang Ultra Bikes?

    Update on driveline concerns, I got a chain wear tool and will use it to report chain wear in longer term. However, I decided to replace my original chain which was an SRAM even though it did not show any “stretch” at all. The chain cleaned and freshly lubed, I would occasionally get a slip and...

    Ideal display for Watt Wagons (future feature)

    Yeah Shimano, Levo bikes and maybe others already do. I wrote a power meter big player; Stages, who pick up flex of your crank arms but I realized that is never going happen. I see people hacking road pedals to be mtb pedals but the end result is a cleated pedal which I have no interest doing on...

    Ideal display for Watt Wagons (future feature)

    Is anyone else using ANT+ sensors? I did not think I would want this but once I got gears displayed I want to see if I can use the Garmin analysis and training and what is missing is a rider power input. Not to be a nag, but more a brat; is their any thoughts on Shimano Steps and Blevo (Levo)...

    Which headlight is sufficient for trails at night?

    I used to ride a 24hr moto enduro and we would create our own batteries to be just enough to last the night at the full output but not more weight than needed. My first intro to making batteries actually. Full disclosure this is a friend from the moto side but I will vouch for their quality...

    Which headlight is sufficient for trails at night?

    Want to add that photos of lighting can be deceiving if you do not account for exposure time.

    Which headlight is sufficient for trails at night?

    I have the Fisherfab also but I would have bought the Grin had I come across it (not in stock?). The Fisherfab will burn your fingers if you touch it after running at full output. I am concerned with being seen riding during the day at speed as much and night riding sometimes though where cutoff...

    Why Put 12 Speed Groups On Bafang Ultra Bikes?

    Getting off topic. Maybe DM So I am an aging dirtbike guy moving into ebikes. Knew I wanted full suspension because of that background and I knew I wanted speed and utility to haul things. Camping up here in the PNW is great but I knew I would use a moto for most of that so I basically decided...

    Why Put 12 Speed Groups On Bafang Ultra Bikes?

    I hear you and don’t go here: https://www.o-synce-shop.de/shop/en/head-up-display/117/usee?number=OSY-71 The bag is from Jones. The clamp for bottle is by problemsolvers. One source is Universal Cycles but maybe Amazon. There are two sizes so take note.

    Why Put 12 Speed Groups On Bafang Ultra Bikes?

    Maybe the last update on this thread but on topic I think... My first ebike but as usual I am geeking out on customizing. Reading on the topic of drive line wear, specifically chain wear; a chain at $60ish only lasting a few hundred miles or even 600 miles represents a major COA expense. I am...

    Why Put 12 Speed Groups On Bafang Ultra Bikes?

    Don’t try this without first upgrading to the Archon X1 system from Wattwagons.

    Why Put 12 Speed Groups On Bafang Ultra Bikes?

    Addendum: I see I can get the gear position displayed on a Garmin using ANT protocol. I will post a walkthrough when I am all done or I run out of money ;)

    Why Put 12 Speed Groups On Bafang Ultra Bikes?

    Not skip by malfunction but by design which is configurable. See these screenshots they will explain... I so want an app that displays what gear you are in but I think that comm is proprietary right? Also note on the gear position you can micro-adjust each gear so if someone wanted to go to...

    Why Put 12 Speed Groups On Bafang Ultra Bikes?

    First I upgraded my Lunacycle Apollo to an Archon X1 motor about a month ago. This was a great improvement over the Luna Ludicrous tuned Ultra. After doing that I felt the shifting was clunky and holding back enjoyment using the new motor. In fact, I had had one incident with the chainring...

    First ride with the Archon X1 upgrade!

    I went straight to the battery with my headlight. Here an ugly picture with the state of my build. I updated to the Archon 1 this weekend. Looks like the source of the light is updating his website but it is Fisher Fab House for about 3500 lumens with one beam and one flood. I will do a night...

    Waiting for Wattwagon motor - USPS delays

    In the first week of March I got a whole motorcycle wheel from the Netherlands via Deutsche Post or whatever in 8 days including customs. Friday I got a motorcycle fender which I ordered June 7th from England and shipped via Royal Mail. The package sat in Chicago for 6 weeks. Actually I have to...

    My Archon Range so far...

    Yehaw! I am down with my purchase as well Ayl! I was away when my Archon 1 at 2300W arrived. This weekend I was able to install the Archon 1 motor in my Lunacycles Apollo. Unfortunately, I do not have a good baseline on the original Luna modded stock controller but the Archon most definitely...

    First ride with the Archon X1 upgrade!

    Need to turn the bike upside down (trust me). Then there is a plastic cover on one side. Remove that cover and you will see there are three nuts on the other side of the three bolts. Use a pointy object to push in the tab to release the connectors. Take a pic of the connections but they only go...

    Talk About The Kindernay Gear System

    I just wanted to add that in regards to r&r of Rohloff there are quick connect options for cables so you do not need the screwdriver. The R&E bike shop here in Seattle built my Rohloff with them on all cables for a travel bike.

    Do any of the bikes sold by Luna have on option to ride with no pedal assist but throttle enabled?

    I know the Ultra M620 controller will and I believe all Bafang with a throttle do.
