I have read it alternates between the batteries every 5% or so (I don’t remember the exact percentage.)

I am flying up steep hills on my Powerfly that stopped me before on my acoustic. The assist let’s you carry your speed up the hill so you don’t reach that crawling and spinning out situation as you near the top.

Exposed roots and potholes are what i like the full suspension for since I don’t jump much at 54 years of age. Tim

oh no. i clicked on his avatar and see this: "Last seen Oct 7, 2021 does anyone have a way to reach out to him to see if he is okay? email? phone?

• The ShockStop PRO Stem is only available in +/-6 degree angle and 1 1/8" steerer: - 80, 90, 100, 110, and 120mm lengths • Effective suspension travel: - Up to 20mm (~3/4") • The ShockStop Seatpost is available in two length options: - 280mm and 350mm • 35mm...

Dallant - Time for an Update! It's interesting how we trade things for ebikes. In my case, moving last year, i sold my beloved Kubota BX and Africa Twin plus an extra scooter to fund my great ebike spending spree of 2021.

253 miles east, to be exact (Google Maps.). I am still learning my way around Michigan since we moved here from Maryland fifteen months ago. I don’t miss the congestion and over development of the DC area. We are surrounded by wooded trails ideal for e biking.

I wrote this description of my new Powerfly 9 on another thread but think it's appropriate, here. Note the Powerfly is a 100mm (3.94") rear travel and 120mm (4.72") front travel Cross Country style chassis. "The SUV analogy is good, but I am thinking a motorcycle analogy to the BMW GS...

Similar to Dallant, we have added Powerfly 9's to the Allant+8S's so full suspension from no suspension. Uh, um, yeah, full suspension is better, and way better on paved bike trails. Why? 1) Much smoother and comfortable ride, 2) No more constantly scanning for bumps and maneuvering around...

It seems E-bikes improve every kind of biking from road to paved trails to off road trails. the extra weight is off set by an order of magnitude by the power assist and then the weight adds ballast/stability. Other than picking it up, in actual performance i don't see a down side for the...

Thank you. Deore XT is shockingly wonderful compared to Deore on my Allant. I am constantly feathering the brakes on the trails and the XT’s are perfect for that. Tim

Yes, the 28 moh of the Allant spoils me. I do wish the PowerFly was 28 mph. That is probably going to be the salient feature of the Allant that will keep me riding it. Tim

We have two of these and about 1,500 mikes on each. Class 2 throttle. Strong value. Fun. Tim

Oops ghost post … Excellent selection of the 2022 Como 5.0! Features that I believe you will appreciate: 1) 710 WH battery - Turbo range should be 35 miles … or 56 km. You should easily achieve your 50 km use case 2) Comfort - Upright seating takes the weight off your hands. 2.4” wide tires...

Class 1 (20mph.). Yes, the assist cuts out easily and frequently but I probably shouldn’t be going that fast for safety but its fun! The SUV analogy is good, but I am thinking a motorcycle analogy to the BMW GS (Gelande/Strasse - off road/on road) is better. Even Harley Davidson introduced a GS...

I think the rear shock is fantastic. Mechanic said it is a high end Smart Shock. 100 mm travel is 3.84” so if it has a limitation it’s probably the chassis design more than the shock. I’m just startIng to fiddle with the air pressure and rebound plus tire pressure so I might be able to make it...

Dallant, I have copied your battery strategy. We purchased matching Allant +8S stagger frames (Large for me and Medium for the wife) which came with 625 WH batteries. But we had first ordered Powerfly 9’s with 625 WH batteries. I thought a lot about the battery bike strategy including the...

That looks like more than $2k in parts but some of them are better than the 9, except the Sidluxe Select+ rear shock is what comes with the 9. I am super happy with XT and didn’t realize how much better it is than Deore. The factory headlight is the very good supernova mini2 and tires are superb...
