been told m2 still uses 600 and 800

Has to be different to 600 or 800 otherwise they could advertise the battery size rather than be forced behind an embargo.
700 would fit the vagueness of the information we have so far and fit in a round downtube.
Loving the suspense, I know I'll be happy with whatever size...

I've recently ordered another e-bike with the updated dji motor, a 600 and a 800wh are what are listed for options...

They could just be listing the current options knowing that at the very least the new batteries will match that. Avinox are clearly quite strict with this embargo and I don't think they would appreciate manufactures letting the cat out of the bag early.

That's what I was thinking, not miss selling if you get higher spec than expected.
But Atherton might think 600 isn't enough for most people so don't want to state a lower figure if there's only one battery option with their bikes.

Not sure. Purchasing agents have seen most of what's behind the curtain already, and those are still the numbers that they were given.

600 would be fine, IF, dji did an extender.which they won't

Guess thst saves them the hassle of taking bikes back with full refunds under 14 day remote selling regulations.

Or it just gives people the option to not buy it... which is easier all round. Why the cynical view on something that affects you 0% ? I can't see a single downside other than the fact someone has to pay upfront, which they're obviously prepared to do hence having provisionally sold them all.
Even if they get a 70% hit-rate, they'll see the other 30% the day after i'm sure.

Exactly how do you know that it "affects [me] 0%"?

If you care to look more carefully rather than posting a glib comment, you will find that my position above on paying "up front" is entirely consistent with my previous posts in other threads.

And as it happens I am indeed interested in new bikes and even without relying on C2W, as I think you do, do have the cash available to buy outright both for my wife and for myself, particularly when (if?) significantly higher energy density batteries become available.

But paying up front? Nope, no way.

Is exactly how and why it doesn't affect you :D :D Because you're not one of the people who has or will, you're also not buying an Atherton even if they don't want payment up front. It's just not a you kind of bike, an Atherton is a hard-core enduro hard hitting heavy jumping bike.. That's how they go and what they do. Without reading too much into all your posts, you're a LONG way from that.


This is Athertons goals, targets, audience... :D

Fair enough point,
I have to say that if I had not experienced 3k plus miles with the DJI power unit and battery etc than I might have been a bit more hesitant in paying upfront. I can se why the likes of UNNO “ We just had to have it “ and Atherton chose the DJI unit of over the likes of the Bosch one, there really is no comparison in both power delivery and just how smooth it is, imo. The smooth shift option is a game changer in my experience no other Motor system I have tried has the same level of tuning either. Really looking to the 170.1 EMTB, some times you just have to trust the process. From what I understand there will be some respectable reviews out at the time of launch in April . I have already spoken to one that has ridden the Mk2 DJI unit he spoke of it very highly.

Still don't see how it worries or affects you then ? Because you've already decided.

I paid up front for the A200. It was built 6 weeks ahead of schedule. It's also by a long way the best bike i've ever worked on.
 
I mean, its all a bit academic isn't it.....

If you decide you need at least XYZ from the battery/motor then you won't know if the Atherton bike will meet your personally defined criteria prior to launch.

So, you can wait until it's all confirmed one way or another, and then you will know. And order one (and wait a bit longer) or not...

Or you can put a measure of faith in the brand when they say 1600-2000m of climbing and;
"Unfortunately we cannot reveal the battery and motor specs until April – so we are asking for you to trust us! Were pretty sure you'll think its awesome"

Knowing that you can cancel your order and get a refund "but if not we can cancel and refund your order."

You can decide no way you would pay upfront not knowing... but there isn't a lot of risk there if you ask me....

Order pre-sales and take a view that it's 'probably' going to be brilliant and get your brilliant bike asap.... and if it turns out not to be so, then cancel it and wait for the 'right' bike for your cirteria, or order something else.

If we all wanted the same bike then there would only be one.....

"Or you can put a measure of faith in the brand when they say 1600-2000m of climbing"

is that with an athlete riding it? 60kg and very fit? makes a huge difference on an ebike. Be interesting to see what info they release next.

That was my concern. If Dan's getting 2000m of climbing it's probably a lot less for an average rider

Lol i bloody wish.. I said this is the rising Athertons we're designed for, which is why I ride a Trek Fuel. Admittedly I ride it at Dyfi, but not like that

And there's me thinking that the point of the video was firstly to show you riding and secondly to make the point that only riding gods like you could buy and enjoy this new bike.

My bad. :(

Who's missing the point now :)

Anyone CAN enjoy the new bike of course.. But Athertons are not building Voodoo Bizangos and Deliveroo riders ain't their market IMO. They build high end hard hitting bikes that are designed for big mountains, big trails and proper riders. But anyone else can have fun on them of course.
