November 26, 20169 yr Good work fella, I have a 2016 Trek Powerfly 9+ and it is fantastic..you are going to love it Happy Trails
November 26, 20169 yr i did a test ride on a trek powerfly f7 2016 today at allterain cycles with 25%off 3100 down to 2337 when i rode it it had a 500w bosch battery on it but online its says 400w do you think its still worth it and is there much difference between 500w and 400w thanks

I went from a 400 to a 500 and the difference is that the display segments last that little bit longer.
November 27, 20169 yr Author First ride update one word Fab-u-lous 24 muddy miles and 2402 feet of climbing 2 bars left on the battery readout and this also included me giving my mate a push up the last two climbs back to the van a bit of Ebike assist . Mastiles lane in the dales pic of my mate Luke on his Fatty who is normally waiting at the top for me Ha Ha also set this up as a segment on Strava real shame some water on the cam lens as this was very surreal when the sun appears The bike was awesome I loved it but the only thing I was not happy about was the tyres had no grip on this terrain so looking for 27.5 Plus tyres with better grip for the winter .
November 27, 20169 yr Author Great. Luke soon to be looking at eFat bikes? Not for another 33 years he is young and fit and likes a good workout
January 22, 20179 yr Whoo Whoo. Its arrived. [ATTACH=full]16532[/ATTACH] hi did you also consider the LT long travel version? Its sold on the 9 but nots sure if the 130mm travel is enough?
January 22, 20179 yr Author hi did you also consider the LT long travel version? Its sold on the 9 but nots sure if the 130mm travel is enough? Hi Mr T Yes I did look at the longer travel version but decided 130 mm was plenty for my riding . I have now done 5 rides on the bike and loving every mile . todays ride in the Dales was 29 miles 2500 feet of climbing and they were hard miles for the battery used eco and some tour and the battery died 200 metres from the van at the end . temperature was -1 c for the whole ride
January 22, 20179 yr I prefer the look of the grey 130 and to be honest I am not hardcore on the downhills so 130mm will probably be ok for my needs. sounds like you had a good day out today and the range certainly is impressive. I believe the cold weather reduces the range quite a lot?
January 22, 20179 yr it was plenty good enough for these rocks Is that the Yorkshire section of the M62 or Leeds bypass ?
January 23, 20179 yr Hi Trouty Whereabouts is that I ride a bit around Clapham ,Ingleborough, Barbon area

January 24, 20179 yr does this one work https://www.strava.com/activities/840726154 Some distance over that terrain do you manage on a single charge ? Have done the tour of Pen y Ghent last year at 20 miles and just made it
January 24, 20179 yr Author Some distance over that terrain do you manage on a single charge ? Have done the tour of Pen y Ghent last year at 20 miles and just made it Just managed to do the whole ride on one battery but died 200 mtrs from the end . I did have a spare battery in my backpack
January 24, 20179 yr Just managed to do the whole ride on one battery but died 200 mtrs from the end . I did have a spare battery in my backpack It is not good for battery to run them totally flat, try end your ride with about 20%.
January 24, 20179 yr Author My understanding is the battery management system takes care of the cells by not letting them run down too much .
January 25, 20179 yr Was thinking of getting this bike too. Ilkley or Otley is nearer for me but I can't see Trek cycles for sale in Chevin cycles or Ilkley Bikes. Not sure what the Long Travel means , is it meaning longer battery life ?
January 25, 20179 yr Ah ok thanks, in fact just found it on the Chevin Cycles site with 10% off just under 4K . Might go down and see them tomorrow.
January 26, 20179 yr Author i bought mine at http://www.allterraincycles.co.uk/hot-deals-bikes on a black friday deal with 15% off Shipley or Wetherby
January 26, 20179 yr Done it !! Ordered one from Chevin Cycles. When the Mrs finds out, I'm dead meat :eek:
January 28, 20179 yr i bought mine at http://www.allterraincycles.co.uk/hot-deals-bikes on a black friday deal with 15% off Shipley or Wetherby Yeah, I only got 10% off mine. I wanted the interest free credit too but then you loose the discount so I'm gonna put it on a new credit card with zero percent on new purchases for two years. :)
