Exciting Motor Power
The power of a motor is typically measured in maximum watts it can generate. A higher wattage motor facilitates maintaining a consistent speed during rides. Aventon A-100 motors ensure optimal support across a wide range of pedaling cadences, enhancing the overall feel for a more natural experience.
Ramblas’ motor maintains a “nominal” output of 250w, where nominal signifies the sustained power output during a standardized test over a specific time. This is great for climbing hills and on trails, as well as rolling through city streets.
Torque For The All-Terrain
Torque, measured in newton meters (Nm), represents the motor's acceleration and climbing capabilities. A higher torque motor facilitates easier acceleration and climbing on steep inclines.
Ramblas’ motor delivers a torque output of 100 Nm, ensuring steady, natural acceleration and smooth climbing. This is comparable with other mid-drive motors, like those from Bosch and Shimano, which typically deliver 85Nm of torque. Designed to replicate the natural sensation of riding a traditional bicycle, its consistent torque delivery provides riders with a smooth and enjoyable riding experience.
The torque gradually decreases as pedal speed increases, aiming to replicate the sensation of riding without motor assistance, preventing a sharp drop-off in torque.
Waterproof Protection
Aventon’s mid-drive motor is IP67 waterproof rated. "IP67" stands for "Ingress Protection" and it's a type of rating. The "67" part tells us two things. The first number, "6", shows how well it can keep out solids like dust and dirt.
The highest score for solids is a 6. The second number, "7", tells us about its protection against liquids like water sprays. The best score for liquids is 9K, which is usually seen on heavy-duty electronics and certain vehicles.
This means it has complete protection against dust and immersion in 3 feet of water for up to 30 minutes. Products with IP67 ratings provide a higher level of protection compared to those that are merely "water-resistant."
Water-resistant implies only protection against water entry to some extent but doesn't ensure complete protection.
Products with an IP67 Rating can be guaranteed waterproof due to their high levels of solid and water ingress. As a result, IP67-rated products provide more protection than IP65 and IP66-rated products, commonly referred to as ‘water-resistant’ rather than ‘waterproof.’
