    Questions about the Hydra

    I just want to point out here there is a difference between stock components and in stock components. My post also points out that he recently got a big shipment of size medium frames therefore he can deliver a bunch of medium orders. He can only give you what he has. I don’t mind if he doesn’t...

    Questions about the Hydra

    Thought I would chime in here. I’m not sure exactly how many people have received Hydras so far but I’m pretty sure it’s more than a couple handfuls. I spoke with Pushkar recently about lead times for another Hydra. He has just hired an additional person to the team to speed up assembly. He is...

    Turbo Levo v Hydra

    One of the drawbacks to the Hydra Black is there is not much you can customize. I’m not sure if you can get it in a mullet. I thought the only thing you could customize would be adding the Innotrace controller. That said deal for the money. I’m actually getting a third Hydra and was considering...

    How to start on a steep hill

    Throttle is restricted but still to abrupt of twitchy. The bike is 65lbs so even in first gear I am pushing had to move it from a dead stop on a hill. I don’t know if there is a way to give a little more juce to the throttle

    Hydra Black buyers?

    The Hydra Black is assembled completely in China when it gets here Pushkar can pull the motor and put in the Innotrace controller. Because of this he has a little control over what components go on the bike there are some specs on the website but I don’t think they are guaranteed. The other...

    Watt Wagons Critical Product Availability Status

    My advice would be reach out to Pushkar and say I am open to any substitutions and pay whatever is necessary for the better parts. You won’t regret it I didn’t think I needed the MT7 but they are so much better than MT5. I’m glad I told Pushkar put whatever you got on there so I can get my bikes.

    How to start on a steep hill

    I’m always trying not to use the throttle. It just seams like cheating and is so jumpy. As Ebikes get more popular I think they will be checking for them on the more popular trails. I intend to put mine in a bag and just put it on if I need it

    How to start on a steep hill

    I dearly love my Hydra but the Ultra has one particular shortcoming that always makes me a little jealous of my friends on their underpowered euro spec bikes with almost immediate support from a dead stop on steep technical trails. I spin the rear tire or tap the brakes on a switch back, I’m...

    Hydra Black buyers?

    I think you’ll be happy with the black. It’s 48V instead of 52V and similar spec to the base Hydra. I think the amp hour rating is the same. You definitely want to get the upgraded controller. That is the biggest reason to buy from Pushkar, he is the only shop that has it or is willing to spend...

    Turbo Levo v Hydra

    Not sure where that came from about the 29” tires. I actually prefer the 27 5“ x 2.8” although I have not ridden very many bikes with the 29” I feel the 27.5” are much more nimble. The only real advantage is hitting ruts and things like that when you can’t lift the front wheel the 29‘s will have...
