    Hydra has landed!

    Doh sorry I'm dumb, I should have cleaned up these parts first.. some piece of dirt or something was preventing washer from just sliding on and I thought it wasn't fitting. Cleaned them off with paper towel to see better and then it just slid on, hah.

    Hydra has landed!

    The big bolt cage pivots on, the stock cage has a big washer/bushing on it, is that supposed to be reused? It doesn't really seem to fit?

    Watt Wagons Critical Product Availability Status

    Watt Wagons Critical Product Availability Status

    Updating page once a month doesn't seem unreasonable, hell updating every week wouldn't be unreasonable. In fact: Its been much longer. Even when status hasn't changed for items, knowing stated status/ETAs for items is still up-to-date is informative. Also even if there is bad news and some...

    Luna rips off Watt Wagons Hydra?

    Yea vesc based controller sounds great. Maybe rev1 won't be perfect although lots of proven designs to copy. Worst case a v1.1 sorta thing and some further tuning this seems more like future. Eg if I had to choose between a refined vesc controller and innotrace I'd prefer vesc. I'm already...

    The "UNOFFICIAL" Hydra FAQ thread....

    The "UNOFFICIAL" Hydra FAQ thread....

    Err and on the display, the stock DP C18.UART, in the information tabs, all the battery info not set. Is it supposed to be able to get info from BMS?

    The "UNOFFICIAL" Hydra FAQ thread....

    I'm bit confused about battery life. I went for ride today. I set charger to 80% setting so it cuts off at ~55v (I forget if cutoff is 55.0v or 55.4v). I then turn on ebike and display, with battery known to be at ~55v, reports 70%. I then go ride.. I'm trying to judge when to turn around...

    BarnBoy's Hydra Adventures...

    Hah, hello neighbor, I'm over in Livermore. Interesting seeing how your bike was packaged. I just unboxed my bike and it came with seat installed. With a dropper post not sure why they'd have to ship it with it not installed? Having seen a few people had bikes damaged in shipping when I...

    Hydra incoming...

    I understand how you're feeling, lol... this is pretty rediculous. Different size frames or other part differences, sure can understand how a later order may end up shipping before an earlier order. But my order from Jan is waiting for a motor, lol. I don't understand any later order is...

    Questions about the Hydra

    Not super uncomon where I live, basically anyone with an expensive bike will just bring it in. I don't recall anyone having a problem with it.

    Questions about the Hydra

    My Hydra order is from Jan 31st around noon PST, didn't ship... I've not really finalized order yet? -- I don't exactly know, last I heard frame was being painted couple months(?) ago now. I'll kinda just copy/past my last comment, cause nothing really changed.. Although now with one more...

    Hydra Shipping Damage

    I’d be surprised if their was significant difference in UPS and Fedex. Can look up drop test heights from Fedex/UPS, basically 10 drops on all corners/edges/faces from some height. Oddly shaped packages may be harder to pass, perhaps? I know for heavy expensive stuff it got hard to pass and...

    New titanium frame ebike coming from Bolton Bikes

    Not going to only flex in one direction, and hard to adjust suspension when frame is flexing.. let you fancy shocks do their job. Other thing I'm reminded of, back in 90s again was some company making frames out of some type of plastic... instead of FS bike just a HT with a frame that could...
