Dam, now this has me thinking. Base supercharged bike, belt drive, IGH, 29X3.0 gravel tires on Nextie carbon wheels, and drop handlebars. I need an intervention. 🤣
The V2 Hydra will be heavier than the V1 mostly because of the larger battery. Interestingly it’s only offered in a 29er version at launch with no mention (or at least I didn’t see it) of a fat tire version being offered later on.
Fully loaded bike is 9k before any discount and then you have to add shipping. That’s pretty steep. If I was going to buy one I’d buy a base supercharged bike and upgrade as funds allowed.
I’m assuming Watt Wagons custom parts means what’s available at the time your bike is being built. WW has...

The V1 Hydra definitely looks better. Like others have said I like the thinner battery compartment and the lines just flow better. The V2 looks chunky and has to weigh more with a larger battery.
You can definitely see it has a bigger battery compartment. Wondering if it’s 48v or 52v like my bike is and if the chainline is any better. Rear linkage is also different.
The Bafang Ultra motor is brutal with all that torque. I have a WW Hydra with 3000W and I know at some point it’s going to mangle the SunRingle hub that came with the bike. The only reason it hasn’t yet is because I baby the bike.
The controller was the main source of the pain but other issues like speed sensor breaking regularly, bolts shearing off on the chain ring, and display failure.
