    Turbo Levo v Hydra

    It’s really all about the controller. I have a frey CC with the standard Bafang controller. The power and efficiency are much different with the innotrace controller on my hydra. When you ride them both and realize it’s pretty much night and day. The standard controller is Surgy and power-hungry...

    Turbo Levo v Hydra

    I still keep wondering if they detuned that particular Levo. I questioned them when I returned it and they even put it on the computer and said it was the most up-to-date software and at full power. I am still waiting to see what Pushkar comes up with for his M 600 full suspension bike. I...

    Turbo Levo v Hydra

    The stock levels Pushkar sent me are just more power than I need and use too much battery after eco 3. I would definitely get the programming cable as an option. I will be reprogramming mine soon where eco1 = 75% of stock eco1. eco2 = eco1 stock eco3 = eco 1.5 eco4= eco 2 eco5 =eco2.5 i...

    Turbo Levo v Hydra

    Hydra V Turbo Levo I’ve been riding my Hydra for the past couple months and very content but I just kept thinking to myself do I need all that power? Would it be nicer to have a bike that was 10 pounds lighter? Everyone else rides the euro spec bikes and they seem happy. Would I get more...

    The "UNOFFICIAL" Hydra FAQ thread....

    I have the Frey cc and there is no comparison between it and the Hydra. The CC is over 70lbs. It’s definitely for fire roads and easy trails where the hydra gives me confidence in any situation.

    Flash sale at Watt Wagons - bikes ready to go out the door - scramble for the limited parts

    Thank you Merle, it’s has been a strange week. Lots of unexpected aches and pains. I think the lesson here is I’m not getting any younger. Taking your body to extreme dehydration put stress and whole body. I have rescued 4 people in my life, (3 different events) when I was in my prime surfing...

    3 hr ride on on Sunday morning

    Thanks for all the input. I have been taking a lot of electrolytes every day trying to replenish. My P was yellow brown for two days. I purchased a Garman inreach satellite text communicator and will definitely be better prepared with water and electrolytes next time. I always thought I knew...

    3 hr ride on on Sunday morning

    Went for a 3 hour ride Sunday at 9am in the Santa Barbara Back country Had to reroute, added 5 miles to trip up steep rough trails, we had to push the bikes as the heat rose. Ran out of water at 2pm. 3 of my crew were cramping badly. I was trying to push their bikes as well as mine until I had...

    There is only so much space in the rear triangle. I believe it is 454cm inches to crank. You would need a longer for a triangle for such a big tire

    Gratitude for Pushkar and his brand

    welcome to the group. it will be a wait but it will all be worth it. I have been riding mine nonstop since it arrive. Where I live there there are so many places I would never get to without my hydra. Trips that would be an all day hike in the heat are done before lunch. 😊😊

    Changing tire with Tannus Armor.

    I like the idea of the rim lock. I have never heard of it before, any suggestions on which one to buy.

    Changing tire with Tannus Armor.

    Sorry I should have mentioned that, somehow there was a tear around the valve. The armor didn’t job it was just a bad tube or something

    Changing tire with Tannus Armor.

    There has been talk Tannus Armor insert makes it difficult to replace the tire. One person mentioned it but the local bike shop destroyed a set of rims trying to do it. Miraculously I got a flat on my rear wheel today. I thought I never would with the Armor but it happened. Trying to remove the...

    Throttle Control - Prevent Cutout

    Anybody remember the old double clutch move? The synchros were gone on first gear in my 67 bug so unless you were at a dead stop you had to do the double clutch. Really brings me back😏

    Kindernay vs Cassette. Advantages and disadvantages?

    I have both. I like the easy shifting at a standstill but the kindernay is at least a pound heavier. No problems yet.

    Hydra Video.

    When my bike shut off in echo 3 I was going up a 12°? Dirt road in a higher gear and lower rpm peddling hard. it made sense to me that it might shut off as that was a lot of load. I was around 70% battery. I’m definitely going to reset the power levels echo three it’s like flying. for dirt roads
