    Goodbye to WattWagons & Helios

    All I can say is this is such a shame as the care and thought put into these bikes was incredible. I hope Pushkar can find a way to continue his business as we would all benefit from such high quality offerings.

    Going to document my weight loss

    I'm sorry but I have to say again that since getting my ebike, I have gained weight. I used to ride an acoustic bike but my bad hip isn't getting any better so I switched to an ebike. I do NOT use the throttle ever but I'll admit to using "turbo" mode frequently. I will also admit that I am...

    Going to document my weight loss

    This is why I got a bike with the bafang ultra motor.. Sure it's "illegal" but it looks like any other ebike you'd see on the trails and it's a beast going up hills. I can't stop grinning when I ride it. No more hard work on steep hills with 80NM of torque.. I have no idea why this is against...

    Going to document my weight loss

    I just love the pure joy of not having to work going uphill.. My 1st ebike only had 80NM of torque from its middrive. My new bike with bafang ultra has 160NM of torque. The old bike made me work uphill.. Not the new one

    Going to document my weight loss

    I bought an ebike with the bafang ultra motor so I would NOT have to work! BTW, that's been working out great. No weight loss and no worries. I do give credit to those who can keep their assist in eco mode or whatever

    Ultra Chainring Swap?

    Should be good but would be nice to hear from Ana before ordering. Eyeballing it should have it missing a chain stay with very little room to spare. TBH this is a want and not a need. It's basically going to give me one more gear which I need because I have to pedal too fast in 9th gear over...

    Ultra Chainring Swap?

    The 48 T chainring is for fat tire bike only.. I need 48 T for e-mtb... I guess it's a different offset?

    Ultra Chainring Swap?

    Wow, thanks!... I was in contact with Anna Lee from greenbikekit who said she could get me one. I waited a month, emailed her and she said it got lost and she'd order another, that was another month ago.

    Bafang M620 Ultra motor broken? Low torque problem. Best retailer for US?

    My ultra is no louder than the Yamaha PW motor on my Haibike, maybe even quieter

    So if you've got a worn rotor gear you're basically screwed?

    How much difference do street tires make compared to knobbies

    Nothing I ride gets that sloppy. If it looks like that, I'm not riding through it!

    How much difference do street tires make compared to knobbies

    I hope I've made the right decision with the super moto X tires. My riding is mostly pavement but there's a 2 mi. stretch of dirt road I ride with hills that can stay wet long after a rain. The cheap kenda knobbies that came stock on the bike handle this with no problem whatsoever even as they...

    Bafang M620 Ultra motor broken? Low torque problem. Best retailer for US?

    I'd like to think I am easy on my Ultra so hoping for a long life. I had planned to open it up after just a couple hundred miles to re-lube but it's still quiet, maybe even quieter than when new. Maybe the grease guy was generous w/ mine but I'll have to take it apart this winter to check or...

    Bafang M620 Ultra motor broken? Low torque problem. Best retailer for US?

    I've read a fair amount of ultra motors needing replaced on this and other forums. Is there any sort of life expectancy for these motors? I've got a little over 1,000mi. on mine. Haven't opened it up yet as it's still very quiet
