    Kindernay observations and few questions for Pushkar

    I just changed the oil on my Kindernay VII for the first time. The UC Pro had 200 miles on it, and was popping under high load. The oil was grey, thick, and greasy. There was a problem performing the oil change because the Gates Belt cog was interfering with removing the oil plug. I had to order...

    Kindernay observations and few questions for Pushkar

    My belt and Kindernay are on the UC Pro. Wattwagons is working on a belt tensioner for a future full suspension bike. The rear portion of the frame needs to split to allow assembly for a belt. I love how bikes are evolving, but wish it could happen much faster. The UC Pro is the perfect bike for...

    Kindernay observations and few questions for Pushkar

    WattWagon Ultimate Commuter Pro (UCP) in depth review

    Received my UC Pro this week with the Kindernay VII, gates belt, Magura MT-7 brakes, and Super Nova lights. Commuting is now a breeze, Kindernay is fantastic being able to shift down 3 gears at a time with only 7 gears. Gear 7 in eco mode put me at 37 mph with a moderate cadence. Sport mode...

    Founder refunds still unaccounted for

    With all the frames and controllers Wattwagons received recently, he is probably busy finishing up orders like mine. I am looking forward to my new UC Pro, coming soon I hope.

    Kindernay observations and few questions for Pushkar

    I see Kindernay VII is back ordered. Are you expecting delays on Helios as a result? I am anxiously awaiting ordering the Helios when it becomes available.

    Kindernay observations and few questions for Pushkar

    I finally found the torque limit for the Kindernay on their website, it is 160 nm. That beats Rohloff in torque capability, making it the right IGH for the Bafang Ultra.
