I had a 2023 Rocky Mtn Altitude 4.0 . It required a lot more rider energy than a Brose, Bosch or Yamaha to get the most out of it. The biggest drawback was the battery charging system overcharged the battery and the battery exploded and burned everything in my garage to ashes. Rocky Mountain seemed to want to help, but in the end they just wanted to get the burned bike out of my possession and pretend it never happened. I feel a duty to warn potential buyers of the very real danger of keeping a Rocky Mountain bike indoors. The damage to my home and property is over 350k, and I am lucky to be alive. Don't take the risk with a Rocky Mountain E-MTB. It is not worth it.
@@MN-ch7pc nope the bike was not plugged in to the charger. The fire cause analysis engineers said that the charger system overcharged the batteries. they were off the charger for over 2 hours and they just blew up all by themselves.
I won't modify my bike. It would be simply against the law in Canada. The speed restriction only affects my speed going down hill, and the all i have to do is stop pedaling for the motor not giving restriction, than i can speed-up a little. The real problem is that we are not informed by either Rocky Mountain or its dealers about that restriction before purchase. It is an important information since the bike gives less performance in high speed compared to a regular non-electric mountain bike...
Just do this and have instant warranty loss. For the next, if you get cought by the police (in Europe) you get fined for a few hundret bucks and the bike is gone... It's on you 😉
@@BodoniBotond sorry, that's not true... do this in austria, germany, italy, switzerland, france and some more, then your are done... just use google and start to read and understand the law...
@@BodoniBotond "my personal freedom" is that i not wanna have such dangerous s-pedelecs (which then it is) bikes on single-trails (like the law does say with purpose). if i see such one, i kick him out of the trails - thats "my wild west" ;-) for the next, the power really does not matter on rough rooted, rocky trails because it is more hindering then helping. and if you would ride on such trails and you would know... ;-) and on the streets it's not ok too, but simply get a number place, compulsory helmet use and an insurance - just like a moped. imagine you hit and injure someone which is paralyzed then. then you pay for the rest of your life...
I did this, and what a difference
how fast?

You left it charging? That’s wild!
Sorry, don't believe that!
I am very sure this was a problem with your house installation...

@@bstevens7647 sorry to hear that. But never the less that's very, very strange...
I bought a 2A charger just to be safe
I wish there was a dealer that sold these in the USA
Hey, i was just wondering where i can get the cable to connect to computer?
How much faster are we talking with the stock cassette?
45-50km/h before you spin the cranks too fast in most cases
Where do I order this chip?

@@MN-ch7pcsir, you just enumerated the wild west countries. Come to east and you're free again.. maybe just a few years, but
