Hi all,
The system is very state of the art!
It has a kind of immobiliser built into the system. Once you take off the dash (It fits into your pocket) the motor will go into HIGH RESSISTENCE making it very hard for someone to cycle off. It has a volt meter, speedo and 19 modes of power assist all built into the sexy new dash. It has Cruse Control, REGEN, and is weather proof. The software has been updated from the previous Tidalforce bikes as has the motor, controller, dash & front hub has all been redesigned. Two years hard work has finally brought the world’s best e-bike back to the US market. It’s a good day people. One we all should be proud of.
But I have not tried this model yet. If it’s anything like my older TF, then it’s a winner. And I have every confidence with Rakesh (the designer and EX WCL head designer and CEO of EMS) that he has done another great job.
There is NOTHING like this on offer anywhere??? (bar Optibike) And the front hub battery is simply an innovation I could not do without. Most agree who have tried the TF first hand that this bike is special. You can also add a second stock B pack that is hot swappable. Sure I would like to see a lithium pack but there is nothing Matra are happy with. NiMH just ensures reliability. It’s a proven chemistry.
