Nukeproof Megawatt Owners Thread

[Gary]

Cheers mate. Acros it is then.. Sigh*

 

[Drewboy59]

Got my factory last week and it’s bloody brilliant. Did a ride around Cannock Chase and will be in the Lakes next week. Can’t wait! Had a Canyon Spectral ON 8.0 for 16 months which is brilliant but this is another level.

Ouch, touch wood mines been ok Only problem ive got at mo is my brakes are shocking.

 

[Dini-mtb]

how do you get the battery out ? (megawatt factory)

 

[Davvee]

Undo the 3 screws then turn the screw holding the battery in and it should just pop out.

 

[Rory Power]

I received the factory model about a month ago and performance wise it really is something else. I was previously using a Whyte E-160RS and while I absolutely loved this bike I found the suspension platform a little bit lacking. The megawatt just destroys everything in its path and is so much easier to get in to the air, brilliant fun.

On a more negative note, some of the design choices with this bike are just moronic. The battery cover in particular is absolute trash. I've managed to get it sealed pretty well using a velcro fastener.

yea I love mine but agree, batt cover and headset cable runs are massive fails...

 

[Davvee]

Yup I have done the same to mine, I got these from amazon www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B089CJ85NH/

Hi All,
I have just bought a comp version. I’m looking to buy another battery for long days out, bike park days.
what do I need to do to fit a 630wh battery? It’s not obvious when I’ve looked. I just wondered if the top battery mount bracket is different for each battery.

Find a battery first I’ve been waiting 2 months so far

630s are mega bucks. Plus you have to remount the battery holder everytime you change between 630 and 500. I’d just get another 500 and have 1000...

or send it back and get an elite, which is nearly the same price as a comp+ 630 batt

Get the bte8035L one fits straight in

Think I’ll keep my eye out for a 500 at a good price. I like the idea of 2 batteries.

Is that what I have now?

 

[Ripping g]

My 504 will be for sale soon as my 630 comes

 

[MsO]

I had the elite with the 630wh battery bought the the 500wh and it fits straight in but there are 2 types the non L version in smaller so make sure you get the L one same size as the 630wh

 

[MsO]

My 504 will be for sale soon as my 630 comes

I'll keep it those ep8 motors eats batteries

BATTERY COVER FIX.
So my bike had a bit of a saggy cover like some others on here. It wasn’t too bad but it was about 2mm at its worst point. When off the bike it had a gentle curve along the length so I just bent it back the other way. Now it fits like a glove. See pics. I left it like this for 24 hours.

Thanks mate. but. Nah. That's not what I'm asking about.

Just looking for a solution to step down the 1.8 lower headset cup to a normal 1.5 to fit a different fork

Did you work this out? Trying to fit a Fox 38 on a Rail with a 1.8 headset.

Hi Rob, while you’re waiting for him to reply, I believe haibike make a 1.8-1.5” crown reducer now. Just like in the old days when you needed a 1.5-1&1/8 crown reducer to use a straight steerer in a tapered frame

 

[Gary]

sorry. No.
We ditched the idea in the end. But the above info should be handy here at some point too.
If you do pursue the Haibike reducer crown race path can you post which bearing it works with? Particularly whether the inner race is 45 or 36deg?

 

[milfredo]

I received mine today just finished setting it all up, I'll take it for a spin tomorrow. I would have gone for the elite but I really liked the green.

Could some one tell me where you'd find the serial number I want to register the bike?

Did you manage to find it? I want mine for insurance purposes?

I don't think the headsets are being installed correctly during assembly. Check out manufactures website:

zs56-headset cover - integrated cable routing

Headset cover for acros zs56-headset-upper-parts with integrated cable routing (icr). The icr-headset-cover has an outer diameter (od) of 62mm and a height of 9,5mm. The two rubber plugs included each have three prepared cable grommets...

thats a new top cap, i checked a few months ago to see if they made alternative ones with no hole (so I could drill my own holes) and the standard massive gaping one was the only one available.

thanks for the heads up, ordered one!

I just got my bike yesterday and am yet to ride it. I was going to bung the holes with Sugru (this stuff is amazing) and make my own seals. It can be removed easily if cables need changing but it would be semi permanent. I use it all over the house for jobs like this.

I've ordered one as well, let's see how well it is made. Ouch on the shipping, it more than doubled the cost. Brexit -> yay
