In this post, I’ll dive into the details of my epic ride, where I tested the bike’s range and performance over a grueling 162km journey.

The Ride: From Logan to Brisbane and Beyond

My adventure began in Logan, where I set out to ride all the way to Brisbane and then down to the Gold Coast before returning home. The total distance of this circuit was approximately 165km, and I was determined to see just how far the Rattan LM Ultra could take me.

• Battery Remaining: 40% at the end of the ride

Throughout the ride, I used pedal assist levels one and two, which allowed me to conserve battery while still enjoying a smooth ride. The bike performed exceptionally well, even on steep hills, thanks to its powerful rear hub motor.
