Good info. I'm all about sharing on this topic. As a very new owner also trying to get a handle on this. One other note from me: when I had the other Hydra last month never experienced any sort of cut out and that over maybe 3 weeks of riding, including some very fast riding.

Would agree with @merlenelson on recommending the medium or you.

Not sure on hours. Had it about 3 weeks and only rode it when I could, but you get a new battery and motor I beleive.

That's helpful @Acme. I didn't feel like I was pushing too hard tho but let's see with more riding. Funny your comment about the Levo. I was riding with a friend who had one. We switched at some point and I was amazed at the power difference. Loved the way the Levo handled (29s; Cush Core...

I just experienced my first dreaded motor shut down. Had ridden on trails for maybe an hour and was returning on the street. Went from level 3 to 4 and motor cuts out and display goes dark. Kept pedaling for a bit and turned power on and it restarted. Will be interesting to see if this shows up...

Sir Romo I was a March 1 order and received it almost exactly 7 months to the day (well, went and picked it up so no shipping) fyi. Now, I didn’t have any special requests per se - so no DVO for me, just the unrestricted motor which was a thing at the time. Seems that they are focusing on...

It will be better than you think… Back where she belongs after a loooong drive west. Didn’t have a lot of time today, but rode it over some very rough country… this bike will go anywhere 😊

That’s a little personal, Sailor! On a good day, 6’ 3 1/2”, 225lbs with a 34” inseam.

A quick update. Swung by the WW shop today and made the swap to the large frame. Have only had the shortest of test loops around the dangerous Boston streets outside of the WW headquarters but very happy with the new frame size. @Acme I don’t disagree that a medium can be made to work for a...

Good to know! I had no idea 2 1/2 guys (with no dog) building custom ebikes might have issues on delivery and support...

I'd say if you ordered June 25, and are that close, you should be happy. The delivery time is speeding up significantly. Suspension is a very personal choice I think but I'd be happy with the Machete over the Suntour and not need to spend the extra $460 for the Mezzer... Enjoy!

I did get this advice from @pushkar : “We can only fit 29*2.6 so net difference in radius is 4mm.. which is really not material to anything “ So maybe not so worthwhile after all. Still, if I wanted an ebike that wasn’t going to get modded, I would have gotten one of those ‘store-bought’ models. 😉

Well, that’s why I like the idea of the combo. The 29” up front will help with obstacles and rolling while the 27.5” in the rear still provides some agility. A 21/19 or 18 is a common dual sport set-up in the mc world. Seems it might work here too. My understanding is that you can swap the 27.5...

Nope

May have posted this before but I like it so much I’ll do it again 😉 out East on the Atlantic.

I can’t wait for the mini series to come out on this 😂

I think you will find that the positive reviews will far outweigh the negative Pushkar. People get upset, how they close to make that known is another matter altogether. I, for one, am very happy with our ‘small’ issue, your response and the general communication with yourself and Amit - all...

Fun

So raising this thread up again - is anyone running a 29” on the front and 27.5” on the back on their Hydra? Seems to make sense to me and coming from the dual sport motorcycle world it’s a very common approach for better off road riding. I also like that it might raise the motor/bb up a little.

No rear suspension and the rohloff vs kindernay debate… I like the Kindernay ‘cage’ system for other wheel options. Blade looks like a great bike tho and has the belt drive… fun to have choices.
