duuuuuuuude... why you do this to me ?
basically all packs on hydra and helios are made in US. every single one of them.
We will limit onboard charging to 5A (battery inside the down tube) just for thermal reasons.
External charging will be up to 10A. The battery itself has a high amp charge port for that.
UPDATE 2 - Component List (Draft)
Edit: Fixed Errors 4/3/21
Building the list took longer than I expected especially since I chose Kindernay over Rohloff. Feedback is welcome.

This is an awesome build. Will you be posting how much everything will cost?

None of my bizness and I won't ask but you gotta have over $10k ... possibly well above ... in this project.
Yes - I have a budget and once Pushkar provides a cost I'll share on the thread.

'They' say that many times a good investment is one where you get your principal back.
You could ride this bike for a couple years and probably sell it for what it cost you ... so free ride and experience for two years. Then you could build another one with improvements from what you learned. Why did you plant that seed???'They' say that many times a good investment is one where you get your principal back.
I take your point and agree or at least hope it will hold value.I would buy this bike!

It occurs to my not enough coffee yet brain that this sort of bike could be quite useful to the 'hunting bike' crowd with the appropriate drive train. As well as the bike camping folks. Or touring as well. There's definitely a market. You might have to ship it however to get one sold.
I don’t hunt but I'm curious your opinion on the appropriate drive train for this activity?

Well .... it depends. Depends if you are willing to spend the big bucks for the IGH. Depends if you think one drive train or another would affect resale if reselling is anything to you. Depends on how you think regarding repair and upkeep. Me, I'm not a fan of IGHs just because I know I can't work on them and I don't really know much about them and I'm cheap that way. And of course it depends on how you are going to use the bike. If I WAS all hot for an IGH bike ... Pushkar is the only one I'd buy such from.

I just finished degreasing, cleaning and lubing my chain and cassette. Maybe I should rethink my position on IGHs. 
This will be my first IGH. After endless research on them, I selected this route with the Gates Drive for the easy cleaning and I can just hose off the mud, never adjust a derailleur again, and how they look is a plus. So far, my only wishy-washy decision was on the Kindernay. Pushkar did a good pro / con comparison to Rohloff for me but I really love the Rohloff looks. The Kindernay dual shifters is a downer too. I really want my shifting on the drive side only.
