Is your wife's bike carbon, or aluminum/steel?

I have two WW bikes with the 2300W X1 controller and I also only ride in the eco mode. Every once in the while I'll go up to a power level in sport mode, but for the most part I ride in the lower power ranges. If I had it to do again I would have stayed with the stock Ultra and not ordered the...

The Skarper motor cuts out at 15 mph (per European regs). This would be a deal-breaker for me, even if the price was a lot lower.

I can't believe that WW's website is still up. If I'm not mistaken, WW folded up over a year ago. Note to the founders: the website shows that the Helios is coming. 😂🤣😆

Without seeing the rubbing I'm going to guess it's either the rim is bent or the tire casing has failed, casing it to bulge in one spot.

Did the wheel always rub, or is it a recent problem? If it's recent I wonder if the rim is bent. I also have a Hydra, with a Kindernay hub.

Bad luck-sometimes you get a bad one.

I agree with fooferdoggie-proper gearing is very important when doing steep climbs. Also remember that Bosch motors need to spin to produce peak power. This probably holds true for all mid electric motors.

The only thing I'd add is buy an extra gasket, because sh*t happens. ;)

I took my ultra apart when it had less than 1500 miles on it because I thought the motor was getting noisy. To my surprise I found very little grease surrounding the gears and there was a noticeable amount of gear tooth wear. I ordered three new gears from GBK, but didn't order the motor...

I'm a bit surprised CYC hasn't worked out the reliability issues with their Photon motor. Having said that, CYC has a habit of using their customer base as beta testers.

I'm getting 'page not found' when I click on the link.

I like the SX motor, but to utilize the full 600W a rider would have to pedal like a hamster on an exercise wheel.

I also prefer the all black battery. Would this also be available in 48V?

I think I detect some 'buyer's remorse'. ;) I go through this each time I buy something expensive. My advice: ride the bike and enjoy it and I suspect that remorse will soon disappear.

There is a new electronic shifter on the market-WHEELTOP EDS, from China. The difference is while the Archer unit connects to the stock derailleur the EDS comes with a derailleur and shifter. I wonder if Archer saw the writing on the wall.....

I was an early adopter and purchased their D1X shifter soon after it came on the market. Presently, it sits in a 'bike parts' drawer, because of a battery drain issue. I have two sets of batteries and neither, fully charged, will last a 30 mile ride. So much for being an early adopter. :(

Unless you're willing to do the messy work yourself, or pay to have a shop to it for you, you'd be better off going with tubes and a more puncture resistant tire than the Conti GP 5000. I have GP 5000s on my road bike (with sealant) and I like them, but I don't mind spending the time to add...

This is so true. When I was in my 50s I started training for a half marathon. I ran 5 days a week but didn't lose any weight. Why? I increased the amount of food I ate, because the exercise made me more hungry, and since I was exercising so much I felt I deserved a nice dessert every night.

When you say, "Some groceries", what, exactly, does that mean? That's a very nebulous term. I'm asking, because most full suspension racks don't carry that much, with the exception of the Aeroe rear rack, because the extra weight can impact the rear suspension. Personally, I like the Aeroe rack...
