    Watt Wagons Critical Product Availability Status

    I received an response from WW 11/15 that my Hydra Black would be delivered early - late November, then 5 days later received an email saying they were being delayed to Jan 31 at the earliest. Last 2 emails to WW have been non responsive. Any clues what is going on?

    The "UNOFFICIAL" Hydra FAQ thread....

    Check your cell voltages when it shuts off and see if the high cell during charging is also the low cell during discharge. I've had bad cells appear after many discharge cycles and that's how they behave. Your pack appears to be fairly new.

    Good looking bike. Those tires look a lot wider than 2.6...

    New Moscow Plus - my mini review

    Some of my longer (40-60 mile) on/off road rides that include 3K+ elevation change consume 20 - 40 AH of battery. Although not as elegant as the built-in battery, I add what capacity I think I need each ride in my rear rack pack and parallel to the main battery. I can also run with the main pack...

    Just about all these DIY Chinese products need/benefit from simple mods, like drilling a larger axle hole or trimming the shaft length.

    New Moscow Plus - my mini review

    I have a few ways to do capacity testing, the simplest being an active electronic load that measures energy and amp-hours (similar to attached pic) and allows about a 3 Amp discharge rate and is very accurate. This can be connected directly to the battery terminals when it's removed from the...

    Turbo Levo v Hydra

    Good comparison as I've also been looking at the Turbo Levo. Where did you rent from?

    Moscow Plus Brake Pads done in 880 miles

    I'm not sure what caliper they use on the Moscow. Tektro makes common pads that are compatible with some hydraulic or mechanical brakes, but I'm not sure the Moscow/Moscow+ is in that range. The easiest way would be to remove your caliper and check the back of the pad. If it says A10.11 then...

    How I bypassed the speed restriction on my NCM 500W/48V Moscow Plus 29er.

    The way I did it, my C7 display was still active, although It wasn't measuring power or speed, which is probably reported by the Moscow controller. And the brake lever interlocks as well as the cadence sensor is not hooked up - this is a throttle only mode. But, I think the Hall sensors could be...

    How I bypassed the speed restriction on my NCM 500W/48V Moscow Plus 29er.

    As an experiment I temporarily replaced (bypassed) my Moscow Plus controller with a FSESC 4.12 50A controller based on the VESC programming format. This is a 60V max controller with tons of programmability. It will even analyze the motor connected to it to optimize controller parameters. This...

    Moscow regular seat replacement

    I'm using the Wittkop touring bike seat, keeping with the German theme, and I'm happy with it on my Moscow+.

    Aspen speed in MPH, but odometer in KM?

    Confirmed - even though the odo reads KM, it's actually measuring miles. I can live with this.

    Aspen speed in MPH, but odometer in KM?

    Good question - I' haven't ridden mine for a while so I can't say for sure, but I'll check that out.

    Aspen speed in MPH, but odometer in KM?

    The L7 display on my Aspen reads speed in MPH, but the odometer reads in KM. I didn't see a thread on this, but Leon Cycle knows about the problem and says there's no fix - sorry. Do all the L7 displays do this?

    Known Issues & Problems with NCM Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    If it's like the Moscow+, it's easy to pull the battery and unscrew the frame mounted battery connector to get access to the headlight Julet connector and cable. The headlight cable is hardwired to the battery cable and runs at full battery voltage. I bought a 2 pin male Julet connector off...

    et.Cycle??

    I'm still curious how they can advertise a significantly longer "150 km/94 mile" range on a 15 AH battery for the T720, while the Moscow Plus with a 16 AH battery advertises 30-60+ mile range. My real world range in hilly Southern California is closer to 35 miles with my Moscow plus.

    New Moscow Plus - my mini review

    The only tricky part was the metal bending for the rear seat stay to get it to look decent. I could have mounted the front rack supports to the center bar on the seat stay, but I wanted to leave that open to mount a Cafe/frame lock like you're looking to do. So far I haven't found a frame lock...

    et.Cycle??

    I see Leon Cycle is now advertising ET.Cycles T720 and T1000 with 40% more range (?) out of a not much larger battery than the NCMs. And they're apparently using a 750 Watt das-Kit motor (new motor or stronger controller?). Google had nothing to say about current reviews of any kind. Even the...
