The Hydra has landed!!!

[Cuz Vinny]

Bike came in today. Has the 2300 watt motor, Magura MT5 brakes, upgraded front fork. Color is Midnight Bronze and pics don’t do it justice. Gotta set up the shocks and then take it for a ride. Been a long wait but this bike just made my other bikes obsolete.

Nice to see all the founders of this Ebike getting the finished product, just in time for summer

The Helios folks are founders. We Hydra buyers are just a bunch of guys ( maybe a couple girls ) that trust Pushkar to a fault.

Well .... I just want everybody to know I am really happy for Vinny and it does not bother me at all that my bike is probably a week away.

It will be sooner than you think. Oh, and the forks are VERY bright orange. Almost fluorescent.

How bout the bronze? Did you get a look at it in the sun?

 

[reed scott]

OH, and what about the battery? Reention case or other? Anybody got a pic of the contacts?

 

[DaveMatthews]

Looks fantastic, congrats!

No not yet. It’s a satin, matte finish but it has some metallic flake. It should look amazing in the direct sunlight.

Great looking bike and I love the colour. Congratulations!!

 

[BruceBrown]

Congratulations!

You're jealous ? Try having the exact twin to this bike ( but for length of steering tube ) and it being a good week away from delivery. ( Although FudEx says next Tuesday {right} )

I cut my steerer tube to use one 5mm spacer. This is the first bike I have with the 35mm clamp diameter stem and bars. It feels really solid. I like it.

Hey Vinny. Favor. Please. Look on your tires and tell us the size. They just don't look like 2.8 inch. Maybe 2.4 or 2.6. Please let us know. Thanks.

They are 27.5X2.8

 

[reed scott]

Cool. Thanks.

 

[Cuz Vinny]

Cool. Thanks.

Eddie Currents, 27.5X3.0. These will eventually be going on the bike. Much beefier than the Nobby Nics.

I had been wondering about your bike Reed and why you weren't talking about it coming at the same time as Cuz Vinny's. But, I wanted to look back through the threads and see if I missed something. Sorry yours didn't come in when his did.

That is a good looking color. Looking forward to a daylight picture sometime.

Yeah, I'm anxious to see it in the sun myself. Should look much better. My bike didn't get shipped out with the others because I sidetracked Pushkar suggesting another carrier and that didn't pan out. I'm not concerned. It's got a ways to go however and there is always the worry it might get beat up on the way but this outfit that Pushkar uses seems to be pretty good.
