- This trail joins Long Distance North to Telephone Loop. Forms part of a number of options to build your own loop, short or long. Very good both ways. Extremely popular with hikers as the Telephone, Disconnect, Long Distance South is a good distance on foot. Generally groomed in the winter.
I'm considering this bike. I saw your voltage issue from a year ago. Can you give me a rundown of whether you would recommend I buy it and why? For context, I have been riding a Norco Bigfoot 2 since February 2020. I use it exclusively in winter with studded tires to bike to work in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. The bike functions well even at -40 C. With an upgrade to electric, I would use the bike for commuting (our roads are snow packed from November to April) but also start off road biking on snow packed trails at all temperatures, and I would swap to non-studded tires and use it off road on dirt trails and gravel/solid rock surfaces in summer (but I ride a motorcycle for the streets in summer so wouldn't commute with it in summer). This bike is at least twice the price of other brands out there, but I favour quality as number 1 and don't mind paying for it. I want the 900 battery as well. The bike would be stored in a non-heated shop, so if it is -40, the bike will be -40 C - however I would bring the battery indoors every evening. Love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!
Norco was the first Canadian e-fat bike brand, and this year, Rockymountain joined the party. As you can see from my videos, I had a power issue after I purchased the bike, but after the last fix, I haven't had any power problems. I like the 900w battery, especially in the cold weather when the battery drains faster. I rode about 50km with 1000m elevation on turbo mode before it dropped below 10% with the 900w battery. The coldest I rode with this bike was -28°C, and I had no issues except after riding for an hour. I left the bike outside and got into my car to warm myself up for about 30 min when I had a problem turning on the bike. The power button battery needed to warm up for about 10 minutes inside my van, and it worked again.
Rockymount is also not trouble-free. I heard from some friends who bought it that RM throws an error below -20°C.
Because of my latest experience, I do not recommend leaving the bike in cold storage. I'm thinking about selling my bike with many upgrades. Let me know if you are interested. I'm in Calgary, Alberta. I hope it helps.
Thanks for the video !!
Where is that ?? are you on a trail or just free riding trees ?

New bike fitting better? Looks good...and the same. :).
I ended up keeping the Norco.
I'm wondering why you play the horn. Yeti?
That sound is coming from the wet brake pads. Lol
Wow, but at least the drive was almost silent :) @@emtbadventures_ca
