Description Selling my medium sized Watt Wagons Hydra with a Bafang M620 Ultra motor and 2300W Archon X1 controller. I paid $6,400 in June 2021 and it was delivered in late October 2021. I've put a little more than 700 miles on it since, mostly on the road.
There's a couple scuffs on the frame but nothing major and no carbon damage. About 100 miles ago I disassembled the motor and packed it with Mobil Unirex N2 grease (and a new gasket) to quiet it down a bit and promote longevity. Specs for the medium say 460mm reach which I've confirmed with a measurement. I'm 5'9 and it fits me well.
This is an extremely powerful and fast bike that is a ton of fun on or off road. In higher assist modes you barely even notice hills. It has a tendency to monster-truck over roots and rocks and carries speed on the trail, and the Tannus inserts allow you to run super low pressures for insane amounts of grip which is especially nice for technical, rooty climbs.
Specs:
Size medium carbon frame (I believe WW sourced Dengfu E22 frames)
Northern Lights Cerakote (clear coated so it's quite a bit darker)
Matte clear frame protection on toptube, battery door, and chainstays
Archon X1 controller upgrade with programming cable (custom tuned to 125w-750w in 5 increments with class 3 28mph limit in eco mode and unrestricted 1000w-2300w in 5 increments in sport mode)
Modified throttle with Honeywell SS49e hall effect sensor for finer throttle control
52V 17Ah battery (before WW switched to 48V)
10 amp fast charger (and a spare more portable 2 amp charger)
New DVO Diamond E2 e-bike specific fork set at 150mm with a clear protective wrap
Manitou Mara shock - 150mm rear travel
Magura MT5e with e-bike specific levers (wired into the controller to cut power)
203mm Magura MDR-C rotors front and rear
MTX Braking heavy duty e-bike brake pads
Shimano XT M8000 11-speed derailleur/shifter
SunRace CSMX8 11-51T cassette (with spare Shimano SLX 11-42T)
Wolftooth Goatlink (for larger cassette compatibility)
Garbaruk extended derailleur cage (again larger for cassette compatibility)
27.5x2.8" Schwalbe Nobby Nic tires
Sun Ringle 40mm width wheels
Tannus Armor (with tubes) front and rear
SDG Bel Air V3 Saddle
170mm KS Rage-i dropper post
PNW Loam XL Grips
OneUp Aluminum pedals
Protaper aluminum bars trimmed to 780mm
Crud XL front fender
SKS Mudrocker rear fender
Probably will not come with the lock, lights, or trail bell. I've got a few spare Shimano 11t cassette cogs, motor gaskets, etc. that will come with the bike.
