A bike with lower gearing will be easier to ride up steep hills, while a higher top end means it will pedal faster down hills.

Rocky Mountain Altitude Powerplay Review

Nov 2019

Price: $9199.00 | Model Year: 2019 | A premium full suspension electric carbon fiber mountain bike with a lot of high end components, 160mm travel, large 27.5

Observations
  • A premium full suspension electric carbon fiber mountain bike with a lot of high end components, 160mm travel, large 27.5" plus sized grippy tires, dropper seat post, all while remaining lightweight

  • Dyname 3.0 drivetrain is powerful but compact, features hidden battery integration in the down tube, and a minimalist control system that adds to the purist feel

  • Durable Shimano Deore XT derailleur with Shadow Plus clutch, precise Shimano Saint hydraulic disc brakes with quad-piston calipers and large 203mm rotor in front and in the rear

  • Premium price, display is pretty much non-existent, battery takes a while to remove and put back in, because of this you will be charging on the bike only

PRICE€5.999MOTORDyname 3.0 driveWEIGHT22.3 kg (claimed)Our Score4.5 Please wait – is what I’m told when I show up to have a ride on the Rocky Mountain Altitude Powerplay C50, ‘we forgot to charge the battery’. After just half an hour several battery bars had returned to the indicator, that was surprisingly quick. The reason for the fast recharge is the motor system that is 48V as opposed to the more regular 36V found on most other systems. The higher voltage combined …

The Rocky Mountain Altitude Powerplay isn't differentiated from regular trail bikes on their website. This speaks volumes about a unique approach to ebikes.

Highs
  • Handles just like a regular bike.
