Do you know anybody that rides a Rocky Mountain there. I know in Canada were powerplay bike was developed and tested is like a rainforest and very wet (North Shore BC). Kinda why I thought they designed e-bike for wet conditions. But I have seen some vids from UK and mud can be sticky and just...
Rocky Mountain been making a 107nm e-bike since 2022. It totally a different design than other e-bike motors. The crank arms are not part of the motor so pedal strikes are less likely to hurt motor. The actual motor does not see water or dirt from the environment you are riding in. Motor power...
I am on my third Garmin watch currently on a Fenix 6. They have all been extreme good and battery do not seem to degrade very fast at all. I find my 6 is all I need and no reason to upgrade. I would go with smaller size as had bigger before and does get in the way.
Have 3 rides and 50km of riding on my fixed dt swiss 350 rear hub and so far holding together. Defiantly engages differently than it use to. Not quite as smooth or as quick engagment maybe but still fine. Hope it stays together. Those Onyx hubs are expensive like $1000 Canadian.
Bike was brand new whatever grease that was in there was stock. Been on two big rides so far pushing bike hard and hub is holding up so far. I went with 24t.
I blew a dt-350 swiss hub on RM blizzard powerplay in 130km. Which is stock on bike. But found out later the problem was the grease was to thick and to much for winter use. The gears were not engaging all the way and just stripped the tips. You might want check how much grease you have in hubs...
I just found out why rear swiss 350 hub failed. It had too much grease in it and the wrong grease for cold conditions which I was riding bike in. Just the tips were engaging and had stripped the tips. So after I get new hub with lighter and less grease it should be good.
My weight 52 pounds Rocky Mountain Blizzard powerplay a50. That ARI if 42 pounds sounded amazing. I already blew my rear hub with 140km in 3 weeks. Which kinda sucks and it a good hub Swiss 350. These e-bike fatbike put huge strain on rear hubs.
Bought a RM A50 and love it. Were I live we get snow/ice 5 months of the year most winter and lots of wind and snow drifts and with studded 4.5 tires and 107nm of power it works great. Game changer. In snow suspension is not needed. Will change my mind in summer I am sure and will put some forks...
Anybody buy one of these ARI fatbike it like 10 pounds lighter than my bike? I bought a RM Blizzard powerplay a50 and it a game changer in winter were I live in Canada. Like a 4x4 truck compared to a regular e-bike with studs.
Rocky Mountain Element, Gasgas trail 3 e-bike, Rocky Mountain Blizzard a50 powerplay fatbike for spring/winter/fall. Put 2300km on gasgas last summer. Just bought Blizzard and put 150km in 2 weeks it so fun off train in the winter. Should sell my Element but it a 17 and not worth much. Do use it...
