Okay so I’ve made some tweaks.
Installed Garbaruk cage and moved chainring to outside of spider. Drive train isn’t 100% perfect but 95% of the way there. I‘m fairly sure I could do better, I’ve just not spent the time. If I use sport5 with 11T and pedal hard I can get skips, but I only do this trying to test drivetrain. Actual riding no issues with 11T or 51T. I will further tweak things when I'm bored one day.
This is pretty dumb, but at higher speeds wind noise has really bugged me.. I got these things friend of mine had years ago:

They actually work, lol. Any less dorky solutions let me know.
Got some Ergon GA3 grips. I'd used this before and always liked them. With Hydra wanted to try something new, actually have bought like 4 sets of grips and dislike them all. GA3 is for me. I think ideally handle bar woudl be up 10mm or maybe have a nother degree or two of sweep or something. Current setup isn't that bad though, I just reach a tiny bit too much.
I removed throttle, I basically never use it. It feels like too much of a on-off switch. I’d rather have the +/- mode selector more easily accessible. Instead of like using throttle on a hill or something I just go up an assist level. -- Kinda feel like its the same. I'm not sure situation where throttle would be better than higher assist level. If a throttle existed that didn't take up so much space, and was more linear, I'd maybe look into it. But so far haven't missed not having one.
I finally got x1 tool registered. I think trick may be, if you’re interesting in messing with settings, start registration as early as possible. You don’t actually need your bike to register. If wattwagons can send you your registration email a week or two before your bike ships, you then have enough time to install app, go through registration, and then it'll likely be verified before you get your bike.
I’d also highly recommend setting up x1 tool. Only had time to tinker with it for an hour or so and already much happier with how bike feels.
Couple general changes I've made:
- 'sensitive torque' -- I'm not sure there is any point going past 3, even at 3 you don't have to pedal that hard to get motor >1500w. Going off cadence just feels like a throttle to me.
- 'motor torque' -- I'm not sure what this technically is doing, it seems kinda like a burst mode. By default WW maxes this out in all modes. IMO this makes sense for commuter bike where you just want some help to start going. But IMO on MTB that extra boost feels unnatural. At least on lower power output modes I don't like it maxed. Lowering this may be the main thing that made bike feel better to me, in the lower modes. Don't feel motor kicking in so much.
FWIW Current settings I'm using, after only an hour of messing with it:
mode, torque, sensativity-torque, motor-torque
eco1, 15%, level1, level1
eco2, 25%, level1, level1
eco3, 31%, level1, level2
eco4, 100%, level2, level4
eco5, 100%, level3, level10
sprt1, 6%, level2, level3
sprt2, 12%, level2, level3
sprt3, 24%, level2, level3
sprt4, 48%, level3, level6
sprt5, 100%, level4, level10
Nothing special about these, just what I'm experimenting with. Don't really have levels 1-10 more like 1-5 in two different ways. Need to try more types of riding. But yeah key I think is lowering motor-torque, in lower modes at least.
