When Rome gets his Hydra you'll be in heaven. He's good at posting pictures.

He's even better at deleting. It will be heaven and hell for reed.

You know that low rumbling sound Lurch used to make when he was exasperated on the Adam's Family show ...........

Did he delete all his posts? Looks like they are gone.

Saw this posted on FB. Looks to be a hydra frame tweaked to distribute the force of the the rear shock over both top and down tube. I always wondered if the top tube was strong enough to support the forces of he rear shock given that it's a CF frame. Then again, maybe it's not a good idea to attach to both top and down tube if there is some frame flex?

The top tube and seat tube area actually look thinner vs the Hydra.

This will be a good commute bike.
All it is lacking are spare tires for every season.
Wheel sets.
Monkey Link a battery in the space between top& bottom tube.
For longer range? When the main battery runs out. ?

Not sure what you are talking about. Looks just like the Hydra frame, other than the reinforcement for the rear shock. AFAIK there isn't room to install a dual battery on the Hydra so no loss there. The tires, shocks, etc. pictured are just window dressing, could put the same on the Hydra frame or vice-versa.

Too funny! And they are wonderful as the dust from horses here is nasty (I use Endust spray). I fired up my ‘41 Ford after a year and a half to drop off a striped prairie kitty to the local shelter and swear the dust was an inch thick….

Awesome! I love Skunks!

 

[ElevenAD]

Wow. Raised a farm kid but only ever had a plan of staying away from skunks. And watching out for rabid ones.

Here in Jersey its legal to have the Black and whites as pets! I have been thinking about it!
Great pets!

Just noticed the Multiple bottles of Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce in the fridge! Now that's my kinda gal

@Rome You can predict where a skunk is going to potty in the house, you just place a small litter box in this spot. Of coarse there are going to be slip ups just like with a dog but certainly not that big and smelly lol. They will choose a spot thats in a corner so it wont take you long find it and place a box.

There is absolutely room for a custom second battery on the Hydra
According to some CAD mockup I made we could fit a 14S 3P in there using 21700 cells (up to 780Wh)

 

[Merle Nelson]

That's what I was thinking. "I've seen at least one battery aficionado who posts here that could make a battery for that."
