    Where's Pushkar?

    I think the only thing we can safely assume is pushkar is a mere mortal who is dealing with super human problems vis-à-vis Covid.

    Tires - size does matter?

    Thanks. Just because someone at a bike shop doesn’t know how to install them shouldn’t throw shade on there value of giving you significantly more flat protection. My set for blue bike should be here soon and I plan to install them mysel. I got 2.0=2.4 aerothane super light tubes to go with them

    The kindernay seams to have gotten quieter. The second freewheel ticking sound when you are peddling is silent in first and gets steadily faster as you go up gears. It has not popped or changed gears again. i am beginning to like it. Shifting is super simple as long as you stop peddling for a...

    The "UNOFFICIAL" Hydra FAQ thread....

    11s chains are not super strong so they can be replaced every 400 miles. The cassettes should probably be replaced at 1000 miles. This is all variable considering what type of riding you are doing and if you just want to ride them until failure you’ll probably get substantially longer. I have...

    Same as any other high power ebike. More power than a euro spec like a Turbo Levo which means added stress on chain/cassette = replacement 400/1000miles.

    Hydra Small frame 27.5 x 3 wheel size confirmation

    I am 6 feet 2 1/2 inches with a 32 inch inseam so a lot of torso. I have the dropper all the way down on the large and I may be raising it 1/3“- 1/2”. I would say the frame fits very well with the long reach.

    have you looked at the Hydra black. I think the components are better and the price is cheaper. I think your battery will be 10% smaller and you can only go up to 2000w instead of 2300W but that’s not a big difference. If you’re just looking for the plain Jane I really think the Hydra Black...

    Goodbye to WattWagons & Helios

    Shipping is another hurdle Pushkar had to overcome. My bikes came through RL carriers with the boxes in perfect condition. I have enough egg crate foam to make a futon now.

I.need a couple more low power choices. The kindernay is taking some getting used to. In the lower Gears it is...

    Hydra Fat vs 27 vs 29. Which one and why?

    I don’t have much experience with fat tires but the cruiser style bikes I have ridden with them seem very sluggish. Having all that unsprung weight doesn’t make sense to me. I got the 27 5 x 2.8‘s because it is plenty cushy and more maneuverable in tight spaces than the 29‘s. One of my bikes is...

    Goodbye to WattWagons & Helios

    Skelm, i’m very sorry you are giving up on Watwagons, but completely understand. I ordered my Hydras in November as well and received them only yesterday. It was certainly a welcome relief that I will cherish for sometime and I wish I could share the happiness with others here. I know Pushkar...
