    New Bicycle GPS on the market.

    Easily removed by thief and ongoing monitoring cost makes it expensive longer term. Better to secure a GPS tracker in frame, hardwire to ebike battery, and buy your own sim. My tracker was under $100 shipped and monitoring cost is less than $1 / month...

    Archon X1 Programming Thread (questions and experiences)

    Yeah, I was one of the first to get the controller in the US a few years ago. I've had little desire to reprogram it, works great for me, but I just wanted smooth performance at lower PAS, and higher efficiency, never cared about higher power. I never understood the hold up on the programming...

    Archon X1 Programming Thread (questions and experiences)

    WW just can't seem to catch a break. They took the initiative to bring the controller to the US, paid for UL licensing for the exclusive, and now along with all their other problems they have to deal with this nonsense. Maybe it's karma for overcharging for the controller, seems like everyone...

    Archon X1 Programming Thread (questions and experiences)

    Never intended to frustrate or unsettle customers? What did you think would happen? I appreciate krasnodar chiming in here, but the bullshit seems pretty deep. It's just a friggin' aftermarket controller and some software to tune it. Unintended consequences of using the hacked tool...

    Archon X1 Programming Thread (questions and experiences)

    Is anyone privy to what's going on here or just speculation? Sounds like the server the software connects to is down or possibly ransomed? Nobody can login, even innotrace, but some smart folks have figured out how to trick the software to think it is connecting to the server, and thus login...

    REI Co-op Cycles CTY e2.2 Reviews

    Nope, you won't get a member rebate on sale items, but it's nice to have for full priced items when you can't wait for a sale or value the return policy.

    Have you seen the revised Helios?

    Or maybe HASSEL FREE is translated from a synonym for worthless.

    Have you seen the revised Helios?

    Hard pass for me when a seller can't spell.

    Dual Motor off-road bike conversion

    True, I witnessed a rider in front of me come to an abrupt stop to avoid a car not paying attention pulling out in front of him off. It wasn't pretty but he stopped just short and lived another day.

    Dual Motor off-road bike conversion

    I started with a build years ago (before the evolution of ebike batteries) where the only options were to put a series of drill batteries in rear or find creative ways to insert them in frame. Granted it was rear hub, not a dual hub setup, but I gave up on it as it was so tippy. Maybe this...

    Hydra V2

    Hopefully they have lower capacity battery option to keep weight the same. Maybe it's just me but not a fan of thick boxy down tubes. Perhaps on a commuter but for a MTB like more curves and subtle lines.

    Dual Motor off-road bike conversion

    Off road? Hope the spokes are good quality, but could be a death wish regardless with rim brakes to slow down all that weight, not to mention relatively high center of gravity in the rear.

    Best 1000 Watt Mid-drive

    How hilly? Do you really need a mid drive? Even here in WA I see riders with hub drives zoom up hills at high speed. Pretty impressive actually. Toronto doesn't strike me as all that hilly. Maybe ask Ravi if the Shakti might work for you...

    Best 1000 Watt Mid-drive

    If you want better range stick with the bike you have, put street tires on it (assuming you have knobby or fat tires), and upgrade the controller for $1K, or tune it properly to get better range. I wouldn't throw $6K at a new bike which sounds like it's going to pretty much be a street bike for...

    Undertaking legal actions against Watt Wagons

    No, that founder is NOT out 5K. That's not an accurate depiction of the situation. They haven't been paid their final installment, and in the founder forum 5 months ago they posted they hadn't seen it but also said they hadn't followed up. For all we know they dragged their feet following up...

    Looking for someone to sell me there X1 programming cable !

    Has WW has shipped the dongle / software to anyone yet? AFAIK software has serial number check so you will need more than just dongle .

    Undertaking legal actions against Watt Wagons

    Oh I guess I missed a post in a new thread. Sounds like one founder requesting a refund didn't get their final refund? Prior to that they last posted in the founder forum 5 months ago they didn't get their final installment, but also said they hadn't followed up. Not sure what to make of...

    Undertaking legal actions against Watt Wagons

    Nobody actually has an issue or did I miss something? Someone asked if refunds had come thru and I replied with an affirmative. Didn't take long for the thread vultures to descend though!

    Undertaking legal actions against Watt Wagons

    I see you couldn't resist stirring the pot despite all founders requesting refunds getting their money back. Yep, I called it.

    Undertaking legal actions against Watt Wagons

    I was speaking on behalf of founders that requested refunds. They have been refunded. I personally am still waiting for the mythical Helios as are a few other founders.
