The Rocky Mountain Powerplays motor displays 250W and is designed for a pedaling rate ranging from 65 to 80 rpm and a power of 770W at peak. Its torque is 108Nm checked with use, it's enormous.

This weight-to-power ratio still makes it the most powerful electric bike on the market in 2020, and has done so for 3 years. A big power certainly but tame thanks to a unique design with mechanical torque sensor which gives it a progressive and exceptional softness very useful in crossing.

Warranty: All Powerplay bikes come with a warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Since 2020 Rocky Mountain has extended the warranty on their electrical components from 24 to 36 months, making it the longest coverage in the industry.

This change is retroactive and applies to all Powerplay models from their date of purchase, until today and into the future.

The battery is always guaranteed for two years. You can trust !!

The speed sensor is hidden at the rear brake disc. Just under the handlebars, there is a small box that offers a USB port.

Since February 2020, new IWok orders no longer have this small box and have become ANT + compatible.

From March 1 to June 2020, Rocky Mountain offers a free upgrade kit to all Powerplay owners since 2018: the new “mid drive” chain guide (upper chain guide) as well as the new iWok completely redesigned, simpler, elegant and waterproof will be available from the beginning of March at your Rocky Mountain dealer.

The battery offers since 2020 672Wh in all versions. It is made up of Samsung cells.

Rocky Mountain announces a reduced charging time compared to the competition thanks to its 48V battery and a quick charger delivered as standard and often optional with other brands. In two hours, 80% of the charge will be made.
