    New motor: Made in Canada, 2022 Mid-drive system

    That valeo sytstem looks very promising (especially as they seem to be thinking of more than just the eruo market). Too bad at CES 2022 they only seemed to have provided test rides to 2 guys that never had ridden an ebike before, at least that's all the shows up on youtube.

    New motor: Made in Canada, 2022 Mid-drive system

    😅 Perhaps it's a Biktrix and Watt Wagons collaboration, that would explain the delay. Seriously though, Deafcat hinted last night it was taking longer than expected to pull the media / website materials together.

    How do I attatch a picture file in a conversation?

    Best solution is to ask @troehrkasse to enable attachments in conversations. Beyond that easiest way by far is to just upload to imgur and copy / paste the embed code. No login or account signip required. Note: If on mobile browser requires requesting the desktop version of the page to get...

    Bafang BBS01b low power and low cutoff cadence

    Do you have brake sensors? Perhaps those could be cutting off power intermittently. Doesn't explain the low power though.

    New motor: Made in Canada, 2022 Mid-drive system

    Sounds like it may be a biktrix sponsored venture? It doesn't seem the goal is to develop this for the 250W euro-spec mass market but rather provide an alternative to Bafang Ultra for off road / high power enthusiasts. Makes a lot of sense to take the stress off the chain in that regard. As...

    New motor: Made in Canada, 2022 Mid-drive system

    How well has this worked on prototypes paired with rear suspension? I assume the belt needs some sort of tensioner? Also, I recall early protypes of the LMX64 were obnoxiously loud but perhaps they fixed that once they found the right belt drive.

    My Atom Arrived - Not Quite As Expected/Ordered

    Shel-done, good to hear you've reached a resolution and that WW stepped up to do the right thing. I think you'll be much happier opting for a bike closer to what you originally wanted.

    Zen Shakti - pictures

    I'm not suggesting you should disclose anything that would put you at a competitive disadvantage. If you have opted to use a given cell and plan to keep the information proprietary, is it going to be that hard for anyone to figure out simply by opening the battery pack? The Shakti looks to me...

    Zen Shakti - pictures

    Aren't the characteristics of these cell fairly well understood? Did you learn anything new from the testing that changed your opinion of what cells to use? Nice marketing video, but I'd find it more interesting to hear you picked X because of...

    Watt Wagons Critical Product Availability Status

    I think he's waiting on parts.

    CC Upgrades and options.

    My cable is in one of the boxes in the garage with all the other bike stuff I accumulated over the years. The t-shirt FREY sent me takes up more room in that box than the small cable. I ended up upgrading to Archon so never ended up using it either but I have a buddy who will be grateful when...

    CC Upgrades and options.

    I think the cable is like $10 bucks, so a pretty trivial investment out of north of $10K in your case with three CCs. I might give smooth tune a try unless it already has it. I'm guessing you'll get more than $10 of benefit from your initial investment.

    2022 - Top 12 Bafang Ultra M620 Ebikes

    End of day it doesn't matter, Bafang has gone that direction and no amount of hand wrenching will change it. Any more 2022 Bafang Ultra M620 Ebikes to add to the list?

    I just sent this message to Biktrix regarding the Unprogrammable Canbus Ultra motor

    Supply chain issues, unexplained delays, and communication issues.

    My Atom Arrived - Not Quite As Expected/Ordered

    Damn, what a cluster. Seems they either suckered you in to taking a pre-production bike or they are actually planning to produce this POS. Not good no matter how you look at it.

    Frey CC

    I still have no clue what he's talking about, sounds like it's the actual plastic cover on the battery. It could also be the wiring cover in the frame behind the battery. Both have two screws. I just looked at my CC battery and the plastc lip theoretically could serve double duty as a pseudo...

    Frey CC

    Not sure what you mean either. Internal battery so what would you cover?

    2022 - Top 12 Bafang Ultra M620 Ebikes

    This one looks kinda interesting. CF frame with budget components, an odd pairing. Elektrek says Bafang Ultra motor, but has a touchscreen display and appp support so perhaps a next gen version of the Ultra or M600? Battery capacity is a bit weak for Bafang Ultra at 700 Wh unless, again, it's...

    Which Bikes Would You Like Reviewed? Opinions Needed!

    Nope, last heard he was laid off. Virtual reviews without hands on to challenge reviewer pre-conceptions didn't seem to be a good mix, and I think EBR realized the format just can't substitute for a real review.

    Luna Z1 - First impressions

    Before the chip shortage there was no problem upgrading, as long as you could stomach the price. Option seems to be gone from the WW site (unless you are buying a bike), guessing it's a temporary thing until chip shortage resolves. Here is the user report...
