It gets to 115 degrees in the summer in Phoenix, Arizona. A 10-mile ride is more than enough in that type of heat. My full power is just over kill on those days. As mentioned, this would be an addition to my full power.
I am not the fittest rider and have some extra pounds. I have a full-power Emtb and enjoy riding it. Recently, I had a chance to ride a Trek EXe. I found it more challenging than my full power on (steep) climbs, but mild to med tech climbs were fine. I ran mid-power mode mostly, and the ride was...
Does anyone think the CS on the Trance X ADV is long at 473? I like mine overall. But I was checking some other brands. The Trance sure is a lot longer.
They offer a carbon/alum version. Specs are not that far off other bikes in that price range.

As I mentioned, I have a 22 Trance X Adv E+2. There is not enough in this bike to want me to sell mine and get this. But if I were...
I already own a 22 Trance X Adv E+2. I can't see spending the money on this. Maybe my opinion will change. I am trying to think if I was looking at this as not already owning a ebike. The 23 Orbea Rise seems to be a better value. And the Trek, Transition, and Pivot have a stealth look. I do like...
I think a lite-weight or mid-power is 60nm or less. The new Orbea Wild FS is close to some "lite" emtbs in actual weight. And it has a 625w and Bosch CX motor. I also think as designs and battery tech improve. ebikes will only weigh less -n-less.
Mine is a carbon frame.
I am just saying if you are doing a lite-weight ebike. With offerings like Trek, Pivot, and Transition. A full-power motor/smaller battery seems odd. It would not be a huge change overall, IMO. I like my Trance, so I'm not downing the brand. Just hopeful for more than...
Hopeful for more data this month. I have a 22 Trance X Adv e+2. If this is my bike with a smaller battery. I won't be impressed overall. But I am eagerly waiting for more news.
