Some distance over that terrain do you manage on a single charge ?

Have done the tour of Pen y Ghent last year at 20 miles and just made it

Just managed to do the whole ride on one battery but died 200 mtrs from the end .
I did have a spare battery in my backpack

It is not good for battery to run them totally flat, try end your ride with about 20%.

 

[trouty]

My understanding is the battery management system takes care of the cells by not letting them run down too much .

Was thinking of getting this bike too. Ilkley or Otley is nearer for me but I can't see Trek cycles for sale in Chevin cycles or Ilkley Bikes.
Not sure what the Long Travel means , is it meaning longer battery life ?

 

[soundwave]

imo suspension travel check the specs

 

[Mossie]

Ah ok thanks, in fact just found it on the Chevin Cycles site with 10% off just under 4K .
Might go down and see them tomorrow.

Yeah, I only got 10% off mine. I wanted the interest free credit too but then you loose the discount so I'm gonna put it on a new credit card with zero percent on new purchases for two years.

At least you will have something to do when she kicks out.

 

[Gubbins]

At the end of the day if you want to have something when it's fresh to the market you have to pay but if your willing to wait a bit the discounts are there to be found...

Yeah I know, got a week before it arrives. Will have to do some serious 'Buttering Up' in the next few days. Bought a Harley a few years ago and had it in the garage a week before I figured a way to break the news ! Anyway, I'm still alive and still buying toys.

I have found that as the years and many motorcycles have been and gone it it a good idea to buy them all the same colour.
If asked to describe a passing red bmw my missus would say it was a red one..
..
I rest my case...

 

[Mossie]

Whoo Whoo. Its arrived.

Just a quick question. Put on a fully charged battery and the display says 61 miles range in ECO. Thought this was a bit low compared to my old Haibike which used to show 105 miles in ECO. I realise this is in ideal conditions only but the Bosch website gives 135 miles(218 KM) in ECO in ideal conditions for the Performance Line CX Powerpack 500. Be interested to know what initial range yours shows with a fully charged battery ?

as you can see its not very good as goes off the last 20 mins off the bikes usage so if you go out and ride slow you will find the miles start to go back up

 

[Mossie]

Ah OK thanks, so the initial range is incorrect. Opposite to Yamaha which started high and slowly decreased.

 

[Richard-Ebike]

The range thing is so misleading

When the display says 100+ just how far did you get or it does change to once you got on the ride

Yes going up big hills makes it go down

My main thing is I am looking at the Levo and a Yamaha
Levo is 55-60 max yet a Yamaha says 100+

Is the Levo that bad against the Yamaha or just a more realistic answer

a 500w batt with a dongle and the range is 25-30 miles so double that with out one.

First time out on a new mtb with rhe bosch 500w battery it showed 112 miles to go in eco.
This was the first and only time it showed such a high number and as I am surrounded by steep hills it is not unusual to see 3 miles to go with 3 bars still showing..
My view now is ignore it as it's put there just to confuse..
