New Member, Discontinued Bike

I picked up a New Old Stock Polaris RRT bike about a year ago and I really enjoy it.
I liked the deal I was able to work on this new bike and the quality of the frame and all of the components.
I realize this is not the latest and greatest state of the art bike but the price was irresistible for a bike with one mile on the odometer. I had to give 8 bills for the bike and then talked them into giving me a second battery (6Amp Hour) and a set of two new 27.5" tires and tubes for another C note. At some point I will be looking at doing a DIY battery update with the latest and greatest batteries but until then I will double my range by strapping on the spare battery on the back rack.
Let me also say that I have learned a lot more about my bike from your information filled forum, great job.

That is a really nice deal for $900... well done!

Hi R.R.
The pictures look good, & quite 'stealthy', how is the CVT?
The video claims it maybe quick, and past 20MPH on the level, with that motor and battery.

I have heard figures of both 25mph and 28mph speed limit mentioned but it applies more wattage in each gear as you up shift the 8 speed derailleur. This bike is basically the same Polaris model as the AAPEX and the PIM Archer. Here is are a couple EBR video reviewing this bike.
