    Hydra has its first glitch, not sure of the solution.

    The first thing I would try is unplugging your brake switches. Maybe one is stuck on.

    Archon X1 Programming Thread (questions and experiences)

    Well, that's annoying. Mine is on a 10 year old laptop.

    Archon X1 Programming Thread (questions and experiences)

    Rocking the display connector while pulling it apart makes it much easier to separate the waterproof seal. Be very careful aligning the connector when plugging it back in. The pins are easily damaged.

    Archon X1 Programming Thread (questions and experiences)

    I hope you receive your programming cable soon so you can experiment to your heart's desire. I'm done with that after 10 iterations to find settings I like.

    Charger Needed for my Hydra Fatty

    Thank you for posting the name of this connector! I'm pleasantly surprised to find it rated for 15 amps! https://www.cusmade.biz/Product/Detail/77

    Archon X1 Programming Thread (questions and experiences)

    I currently have torque set to 30A for all assist levels (based on the cell rating for the Hydra 52V battery). Max speed torque is set to 32 km/h for eco and 99 for sport assist levels. All other settings are set to their minimum for all assist levels. While climbing a steep incline, Eco PAS 1...

    Luna X2 Impressions (Hydra Comparison)

    It involves soldering wires directly to the BMS circuit board where a connector is missing and also to the gold terminals on the case. I'll post details when I have it working reliably. Currently, assist is lost over every bump. If you leave the output disabled for a long time, the Bluetooth...

    Luna X2 Impressions (Hydra Comparison)

    You can disable the Hydra 52V battery output in the BMS app to avoid the spark. I've wired up and enabled the switch function in my 52V battery but the spring contacts in the battery cradle are unreliable on rough terrain. I tried to filter the brief disconnections with a capacitor but still...

    In case your battery won't fully charge

    My 52V Hydra battery wouldn't fully charge and my 10A charger would just keep cycling on and off indefinitely. I changed the "Single full voltage" parameter in the BMS from 4.15 to 4.2V and now the charge terminates properly. Whoops... Bad information. The charger cycling on and off at the end...

    Archon X1 Programming Thread (questions and experiences)

    New discovery day! Sensitivity torque level 0 is actually pure torque sensing mode. Startup crank angle is down to 1/16th of a turn! Motor overrun is down to about 1/4 second! The controller now works as I expected it should. My Hydra is damn near perfect now. Next up is installing the 52V, 20...

    Archon X1 Programming Thread (questions and experiences)

    As an experiment, I set every assist level the same. Torque 30A, sensitivity torque level 1. To my surprise, the level of assist kept going up with each PAS level! I conclude that the torque multiplier is actually set by the assist level. Sensitivity torque level is the blend of torque vs...

    Motor Maintenance

    I was under the impression that greasing was part of the Innotrace upgrade but I guess that was dropped.

    Magura EStop brake issue

    I just measured mine to be normally open. (They were conveniently off the bike as I switched to two finger levers.) Normally closed would be annoying when the wire breaks and your motor won't run.

    Hydra Battery Charger

    Thanks for pointing that out. So dumb. Mine has a fuse on the inlet socket. (I made my own legible labels.) After that, I would expect the inrush current limiters to fail. They're the black disks on the left of this picture. Maybe they can be upgraded. This charger would never receive...

    This is the finest 1500W bike on the planet. I still don't want anything else.

    Hydra Batterie Question

    My BMS came with the overcurrent set to 50A and I've hit that limit 3 times! The battery was fully charged and the voltage sagged to 46V. That's 2300W before the BMS shut down.

    Hydra Batterie Question

    I had the battery open to add an enable switch and you're right, it's 14s4p. We've been lied to. It's not 17 Ah. Now it makes sense why the BMS indicates a 14 Ah battery.

    PSA : expediting orders is not possible

    EBR is the only forum I've had to ignore people on. What gives? Poor moderation? Head injuries?
