    Archon X1 Programming Thread (questions and experiences)

    I guess what confused me from what @pushkar said in the video is to make sure the battery is on. If the battery is in the bike, how to you determine if it's on? I know it's on when I have my display plugged in, but when I unplug the display to hook up the cable is there another step to ensure...

    Archon X1 Programming Thread (questions and experiences)

    In the video, @pushkar says at the 5:25 mark that if the programming cable indicator doesn't turn green to ensure that the programming cable is solidly connected and to make sure the battery is on. When I unplug my display to connect my programming cable the display dies. How does one ensure the...

    Hydra Fenders

    I purchased the SKS Mudrocker front and rear fender for my Hydra. The rear installation was no problem but I have the Mezzer Pro front fork and with my 27.5” wheels and tires it’s not compatible and rubs. I’ll need to source a different front fender They come with a film that applies to the...

    I have a shipping label!!!

    Strange forces at work. You, Vinny and me all had to deal with heavy rain issues at delivery delaying our riding time.

    My Hydra has Arrived!

    Very minor and easy assembly required. There are no instructions of any kind however so hopefully everyone has some basic tools.

    Didn’t realize size was still an issue - is it larger than the current Bafang display?

    Testing the Bafang 500C Mini Display on the Hydra

    Isn’t @pushkar close to providing a new display that we could swap out for like $10 or something? I haven’t read an update on that in quite a while but I thought that was supposed to be fairly soon if memory serves.

    My Hydra has Arrived!

    Yes, you are correct. I'm talking in terms of where the chain would be on a sprocket for the hardest pedaling effort which is in the lowest position, but in technical terms that is the highest gear. Also I want to add that I weighed my bike. Caveat is that I used a digital bathroom scale to do...

    My Hydra has Arrived!

    After it was shipped it only took a few days to Kansas City. Speed is a function of the gearing so if you’re trying to hit a certain speed with a mountain bike just talk to Pushkar about the right gears to order.

    My Hydra has Arrived!

    Did some riding with it today. On level ground you can cruise at about 25mph with the Kindernay in the lowest gear in Eco 1 mode with very little pedaling effort. Put a bit more effort into it and you can get to 30 fairly easy and in low Eco mode. I went with the 1000W X1 because I thought 2300...

    My Hydra has Arrived!

    So the rain stopped for now. It's a mountain bike, it's going to get dirty. For those asking about speed, this was pedaling hard on a very slight decline in Eco 5 with the Kindernay. It's all the speed you'll want.

    My Hydra has Arrived!

    I have cleared my calendar for tomorrow and will be on the road with it in the morning. I’ve got a park with some single track near me but it’s going to be a muddy mess for a couple days as we’ve been getting pummeled with rain. I should be able to get some riding in on parts of it Saturday...
