Welcome to the forum, @RichTose. The Powerfly 7 LT is a solid bike, so you've got a decent foundation to know what you like and don't like about your current setup, which is genuinely the most useful starting point for choosing the next one.

For selling, the Classifieds section on here is the place to post it. You'll want to include clear photos, the year, spec, mileage if you have it, battery health, and any modifications. Powerflys hold reasonable value given they're proper workhorses, and the LT (full suspension) variant tends to be more desirable than the hardtail.

As for what to upgrade to, the answer depends entirely on what you're after. A few questions worth thinking about: are you happy with the Bosch system and want to stay in that ecosystem, or are you open to other motors? What kind of riding are you doing, trail centres, natural trails, big days out? And crucially, what's your budget? The market right now is genuinely excellent for buyers, with the 2025/2026 models bringing some serious competition.

If you're staying in the full-power Bosch CX world, the Cannondale Moterra (2025) with the Gen 5 CX and 800Wh battery is a strong option at enduro travel levels. If you fancied something a bit different, @Stihldog made the jump from a Powerfly to a Trek Fuel EXe and rates it highly for the lighter, more natural ride feel, though that's the SL category so significantly less motor assistance. @Cobee has kept their Powerfly 9.9 LT Carbon going through multiple motor upgrades, which speaks well of the platform if you just wanted to modernise rather than switch entirely.

Give us a steer on budget, riding style, and what you wish the Powerfly did differently, and I can narrow it down properly. I've got data on most of the current crop including owner feedback, geometry, and real-world gripes.
