I'm in touch with rocky support and my vendor, they changed my screen last week, but the error 199 occured again, according to my vendor he will replace the cable between the screen and the motor.

To be honest, i dont think 199 is a hardware related fault.
I get that error every now and then, but only when powering up the bike. After a restart everything is ok. If it was a hardware related fault (loose contact or something) you would expect it to happen on a ride as well.
Recently my dealer upgraded the controller firmware to the latest version in an attempt to fix this error. I havent seen the error since, but due to poor weather i havent been riding much either. So too early to tell if it fixes the problem.

I own an Altitude Powerplay 2023. I’ve noticed that the error 199 appears when there is a pressure on the pedal for a certain amount of time, but the bike isn’t moving. Like when, before starting, I‘m holding the brake lever, with the dominant feet already on the pedal, and I’m putting some weight on it. Or when I switch on the bike with the weight on the pedal.
Is your experience the same?

I agree with what you wrote, but bug is a bug, I see some other report with the same symptom, and I think that Rocky should find a solution. I already changed the screen, but it didn't help.

I tried to re
I tried to reproduce the problem according to what you wrote, without success. I have another question, we are 3 friends that purchesed Instict A70 at the same time. Two of is use size M, and one of us use size L. The 2 size M bikes suffering error 199, size L run without a problem. What is the size of your bike?
My bike is a size Large, the Error 199 appeared 3/4 times since I've bought the bike, in about 300km and 10 rides. The first time it appeared, I had the right foot on the pedal, and then I switched on the bike. When the display tuned on, the Error 199 appeared immediately.
I'm considering upgrading the rear shock of my Altitude Powerplay A70 my23. The current shock is the Fox Float X performance.
The only "problem"
is that the rear cinematic of this bike works so well that I don't know how much of this performance has to be attributed to the suspension system and how much to the rear shock.
I'm searching for a bit more support out of the turns and a more poppy feeling, the current shock has no compression tuning, so it's more difficult to achieve what I'm looking for...
In other words, what is the margin of improvement I can get switching to a rear shock such as a Fox Float X2 factory or a EXT Storia LOK 3 coil?
Do you have any experience with different shocks on this bike? How does the feeling change?

A coil gains significant small bump sensitivity over the factory float X. And because of this you can run spring rates on the firmer side to help with the support you seek. I've found the rear isn't too fussy on compression and once you get your rebound set right the bike really comes alive.

Did I mis-read RM's website or is it accurate...this bike has a 105NM motor? Is there a good pic of the display anywhere? I can't find one.

At full charge is when the motor can output it's highest peak power and torque. I think my early bike was 108Nm 770W peak.
Now the battery is 3.5 years and 14000 km in I've lost some of that mental power it had, but it's still brilliant. My bike had a Rockshox air shock on the rear which was very good. It never did anything wrong and was completely reliable. I replaced it with a Cane Creek DBcoil il which has been a really nice conversion.

Google Jumbotron rocky mountain
and you will find lots of pics and vids.
And the motor has 108 Nm peak torque, not 105.
Hi, sorry for not replying sooner, I wasn't following the thread. Currently it continues to give me error 199. In my store they have already changed 3 jumbotron, a sensor, connection cable and this week the remote with cable and screen. The error continues, they do not find the error. The last thing they will change will be the engine. my bike is a size S.

Been running a DHX2 with a Sprindex coil on my 22 Alloy and just gobbles up fast chunky stuff. Currently running a Z1 Coil fork and its better than the domain which the bike came with but I think ultimately I will run a 38 with a vorsprung kit or go all Ohlins coil front and rear.

Does anyone know if a 2022 RM Instinct Powerplay is UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) compatible?

Yep it is and comes with the stop. Note you will need to run the flip chip in the longer position.
Yeah, take the battery out, put some padding around it, and place the battery back. It helped to reduce the rattling sound in my case, but did not fully resolve it.

There are two different BB's and Spindles used for these bikes. I upgraded my BB and installed shorter cranks...no spacer used but the length of spindle is specific.
Go to the thread about shortening crank arms and you will find the info for spindle length.

Yes, you can remove the battery and adjust the plastic retaining clip on the end. The battery has a plastic device that can be adjusted to different levels of pressure it puts against the frame and battery. I adjusted mine all the way to the max setting and I also put a layer of Velcro tape (think soft side) around the end of the battery to help with any additional vibrations / knocking. It eliminated it completely.

Has anyone tried running a 6 bolt disk hub with the rocky speedo thingy? is it even possible to use a 6 bolt hub with a center lock adapter?

Just buy a 6 bolt one from Rocky direct, or get your dealer to order one. Speed Sensor Magnet Assembly 6 Bolts Dyname 4
The driveside and transferchain plastic covers are weakspots of the powerplay bikes. Even Rocky Mountain admits this weakspot when I mailed them. I have replaced them several times now and there seems to be no solution. Is there anyone that can make them from carbon? 3D printing or whatever. Because they are not cheap!!!Has anyone else had either of these two issues?
I purchased my Altitude Powerplay A30 4 weeks ago here in Australia, and ran into my first issue 1 week later.
I thought I would check how easy it was to remove the battery.
I took the battery access cover off (first and only time), to find the front plastic hooks broken off.
Last night I wanted measure out a new chain, so I had to take the chain cover off to be able to re-install the chain (first and only time).
What I found was that the plastic around the front screw mount was cracked. It looks like it has been cracked for a while.
Nearly 1 month later I have still not heard nor has the LBS been given any time frame for a replacement battery access cover.
Update May 13th, Battery cover and Chain cover have both been replaced by RM
I did find this review dated March 2022 where they also had a cracked chain cover:
