Water ingress can be both "acute" and "chronic" let's say. With acute being it won't work after being pressure washed, and chronic being it works but gradually degrades from corrosion. I would avoid pressure washing around critical areas even if you pack the connectors with grease. I wouldn't...

OK, here goes... First a disclaimer. We a couple test bikes for development purposes. We don't regularly take them out, get them muddy, and wash them. So we have not had water ingress issues because we simply don't put them under that kind of stress. If we did expose them to "water ingress...

The connectors are supposed to be IP67. If the connectors do not seal that is because of poor wire/cable choice (like improper outer diameter) or poor assembly. This weekend I will post a few photos of possible solutions/aids.

I think some supplier in China but I'm not sure. We didn't ask. They didn't tell.

Among a number of things we manufacture/assemble for the Varg, we used to assemble the map switch for a short while (a month or so). The map switch cable must be relatively thin to pass through the sealing grommet. This means that the individual wires inside the cable are quite thin. They are...

The phone should really have nothing to do with it. That round connector is very important as it connects the VCU to the inverter (motor controller). I don't think it is software -- it is behaving like you have a loose connection, bad wire crimp, or water in the system somewhere. Edit: the...

My first guess is water ingress -- just like you said -- it dried off given time and now works fine. Sealing is a Varg weak point. My second guess is a mechanical connection problem like a cold solder joint or poor wire crimp or connector. Here the temperature can make a difference where thermal...

If not mechanically binding when turning by hand... then most likely problem with rotor position sensor (motor rotor) itself of with communication between the inverter and sensor. Or sensor magnet has become loose.

How about 13kWh?

The idea is to play engine revving sound is only when accelerating the virtual engine -- clutch pulled in and throttle opened. During all other times there would be silence from BlueTooth audio. Personally I can't stand earbuds and would just go with in helmet speakers. However, a bike mounted...

OK, no where near traction control yet (perhaps better called traction management) but here is what has already been done or very close to being done: 1) A second map switch has been added on the right side of the bars sitting between the brake lever and throttle. It is wired into existing VCU...

Apparently one size does not fit all.

OK, it has been decided. The project is now on. I would like to thank the people here for talking with me and helping guide me towards a decision. The conclusions are basically these two: 1) The more powerful the bike the better for making the algorithms as good as we can. 2) Once we are happy...

There was a guy with a very long Molicel P45B, P50B comparison on youtube. In short, the 50 is only a very slight improvement over the 45. In the real world the gains are not nearly what the data sheet reflects. The difference in the 42A and 45B was night and day. Going to the 45B made the Varg...

After much playing with throttle "curves" I really don't believe in them. If you make one section of rotation less sensitive, the other becomes more sensitive. So you have made it better for one case, and worse for another. With ICE you can regulate how sensitive the throttle is by gear...

At first I thought that too, but then i zoomed in and took a closer look. If the switches were all present and on the bottom side you would expect the sharp part of the pins to be protruding from all of the pads. However, a number of pads seem to lack this and it even looks as if the copper of...

It is standard convention for the switches to be on the same side of the PCB as the silk screen symbols. To me it looks like the switches have been sheared off and are still in the mud. It looks fixable with replacement switches and a soldering iron.

I have had a clutch on Varg for a long time. The ideas behind it are somewhat different than with Flux (at least as what I know about Flux). The electronics do have inputs where a clutch can be connected, it is just that having a clutch is against the leaderships vision. However, that...

Hey, the Varg is a one speed :) I have had hondas and suzukis.. have a soft spot for zooks -- always a good deal and never let me down. I plan to use it for for a mix of city riding and mountain trails in Croatia along with roads connecting the trails. Should be fine for that -- prefer it to...

It has long been evident that you are not bleeding edge tolerant -- neither am I. I gave you a "heads up" and you ignored it. And no, I did not buy a Varg. The next bike I buy will be this --
