So I don't really understand the strong feelings some here seem to have around wanting a full suspension bike, at least for a commuter. Mountain bike I can understand, but I can't see taking something this heavy out to do any real mountain biking unless it's being used as an extremely low range...

That would be sad, I like the design of the current UCP (which I own) much more.

This is something I wouldn't be worried about with Pushkar's stuff. The wheels on the UCP are crazy strong. I haven't had any issues with high speed, lots to accel/de-accel, city potholes.

I have now mounted the new larger 60 tooth front sprocket and 125 tooth belt. Happily it has not significantly affected my ability to ride without electrical assist, even while towing if not up large hills. I have been doing more casual riding and less commuting thanks to Covid19 and wanted to...

Interesting I had no idea. Although I do not store my bike outside, its in the house or in a relatively warm underground parking garage. Even so this sounds like a good explanation.

That is awesome! Thanks you!

Oh I totally forgot, Pushkar was kind enough to ship me additional springs for the seatpost. Thank you! It was a little confusing telling the different springs apart, but I ended up adding one of the new ones on that seemed stronger on the lower section and I am very pleased with the results...

Update: Good news. I am more pleased with the front shock after adding more air into it. I found that having higher air pressure has helped stop it from bottoming out, and settled it a bit. It still bobs when pedaling out of the seat, but less so. It is a little less plush as a result but that...

I am seeing this same exact behavior. I cannot get it to stay at 1000. Interestingly I found if I press the button to put it in the brightest mode while the bike is plugged in and charging it will stay at the brightest setting and not dim slowly and then return to brightness over and over again...

I ended up turning the adjuster about half a turn and that improved things. I have attached some photos, this is after adjusting, its hard to see/get a good photo. The two top rivets were originally flush/below the leather like the others but now are a bit higher. From what I read that can get...

Looks awesome if it can be made.

Yeah. There was a video tour of the Bafang factor posted in the forums here recently in which it was hinted that they were working on a drive train/shifting product.

@Ebiker33 I believe what you are talking about is the Bosh electric shifter for the Rohloff, which is not available on the current WattWagon as it is not Bosh powered. The WattWagon has a twist shifter. The video of the electronic shift and the reviews made me think that it is not quite there...

Thanks! Good to know I am not alone in experiencing weirdness when shifting. Generally it's not much a problem when casually riding. It's when I am trying accelerate and ride fast, like between the many stop signs and stoplights on city streets, when commuting that I experience the...

I am happy with the power, I have not tried it with 750 yet, but I imagine decreasing it will make hill climbing slower (currently with a lot of hard peddling I can maintain 22-25 on the biggest hills I tackle daily). My main concern is for the health of the Rohloff, I would be very very sad if...

Has anyone adjusted the Brooks saddle tensioner yet? After 600 high speed street miles I feel like the saddle tension is a bit looser and the rivets are coming more to the surface, becoming "proud" as I have seen on Brooks forums. I am most curious if tensioning would prevent the rivets becoming...

Another interesting note is that I had my first belt off last week around 470 miles. So I would suggest checking belt tension around that time. I was able to get it tensioned with the tools I carry on the roadside without much difficulty and less grease than a chain. A bit more time...

I have since received cables for programing the Bafang motor and the Grin Satiator. I recently ordered the new cranks Pushkar as developed and the new brighter lights, along with a 60 tooth front sprocket and 125 tooth belt. I am looking forward to playing with the new toys when they get here.

This is my initial review of my new Watt Wagon Ultimate Commuter Pro (UCP). I wrote it a few weeks into ownership but never posted as life distracted me. I am now ~3months and ~600 miles/970 km into ownership. I purchased the WattWagon to make high speed (hoped for avg speed of 18 mph)...

Is it going to be possible to mount a left side towing hook (with something like an extended axle) on the WattWagon for a trailer like a Burley? Or would this have negative effects with the adjustable belt tensioning mount of the rear wheel?
