Light??? I have the same in my frame. Took out fork and noticed it too…. (What it looks like inside!) IDK! -BB

Sorry to be a pest folks. But last evenings ride found another kitty as I came to the hill top… (@Merle Nelson -very short tails on them all else there would have been a sizable load in my bike shorts and not sure I would have a photo!!) -BB

Yesterday I think I had the best ride so far! I programmed the BleedingEdge Hydra to realistic power levels. This saved the battery and helped melt my butt… The Pleasanton Ride has really opened since I was last up on top. I was able to see the City (San Francisco) in the fog…. Along the...

Unfortunately, many insurance agents don’t know what an electric bicycle is, let alone a Hydra; as it really is a motor driven cycle!!!! I have literally spent hours discussing this with my insurance agent, several members of her staff, as well as corporate. Gets all muddled with trying to...

Ahhhh- Please use caution as the “Home Owners” is only valid if it is a standard “analog” bicycle and is subject to your deductible. Anything with a “battery”or “motor” will require a separate policy…. (AAA, All State, State Farm, Geico, etc.) Will be reporting more about insurance in my Hydra...

@Fast n' Furious - dude you are so correct. If it can be broken, I will definitely break it! I have a wall of shame in the barn bike stall of broken cranks, seats, chain rings, posts, cassettes, etc. and I will report any/all findings in my Adventures!! FYI- is my first IGH too. I believe...

Anyone for squab a vin??? F-me! -BB

To relate to a cassette, would you want to start or apply large torque in the 11 tooth cog or 50 tooth cog? His chart is saying the same thing. Gear down to go up hills, gear up when spinning out or going faster. It took me maybe two rides to figure the Kindernay out. I still get in wrong...

@Fast n' Furious - FYI, I have applied > 2.2KW to my Kindernay and zero issues! No mis shifts once I figured out how to shift it correctly. Basically with an eBike and Kindernay, one needs to stop pedaling and zero motor output when you shift…. -BB

I also have a copy of the full service manual. There is a section of Morris Error Codes that might help you with the beeps and this cause…. -BB

Yes, no polarity for the thermal switch required. But having the thermal switch is a good option to prevent the motor from smoking.... Use Ohm meter to verify the thermal switch.... But for a short test, you can check if that is the issue by shorting the connection (controller side) at the...

@bexamous – Yes, the front wheel was packed so the rotor was facing out toward the box and not protected by the frame. It looks like some side loading bent two of the six rotor spider legs. I tried to straighten it, but do not have good enough equipment to do it correctly. Pushkar is making it...

Couple of answers to the above… @bexamous - the manual and YouTube videos for the DP C18.uart state it currently doesn’t use that battery data. If interested in battery, get the XiaoXiangBMS app. Here is what it looks like… The manual also says to use the Voltage setting over percentage. I...

Wires to the motor are: POWER and THERMAL. From the above, it sounds like the thermal switch may be tripping. Can test this by just shorting the controller side of the interface. Make sure your repair is protected. My SLA batteries would transition from GRN to YEL in a few miles and then sit in...

All- please use the XiaoXiangBMS battery app on your phone and turn off the battery before you uninstall/install them….. Look mom, no more sparks!!! -BB

@reed scott - IMHO proof the WW processes are ever improving. Yes I agree it is nice, but I plan to make it look yet better.... (stay tuned! and wish granted below...) CHAPTER 3 – The unpacking… (PARTIAL ASSEMBLY REQUIRED!) So while waiting, I did something that I strongly urge EVERYONE that...

PREFACE Hello all and welcome! I received my Hydra yesterday, got to ride it today and absolutely love it. It looks just like I imagined in the Hydra FAQ pseudo-photo. More on this later… EXPECTATIONS I believe is a perfect word to describe why many on this forum are having issues with so many...

@Stefan Mikes - 63lbs (28.5kg) with battery and 52v and 17Ah => 884Wh @Prairie Dog - thanks! About to post on WW forum…. -BB

Hi folks! Well I got my WattWagons Hydra yesterday and took her out for her first ride today. The power this thing has is crazy. I was able to do a MTB ride I have not been able to do in over 15 years. My soul is smiling!!!! I will write more about the bike and my adventures to get her in the WW...

Directly connecting two packs in parallel is not recommended; use diodes to isolate the packs (two BMS’ conflicting each other!!!). If you don’t use diodes, the packs will not last. Common Cathode Diode will cost $25 on DigiKey… Yes two 16Ahr packs will get you 32Ahr…. And yes, x2 7s5p packs...
