Early March, during a weekend organized with Moustache ambassadors in the Vosges, several riding configurations were put to the test on the ground.
Among them, an increasingly common use: riding with family with a child trailer, on hilly routes, without autonomy constraints.
These outings made it possible to concretely illustrate what the Xroad equipped with the Bosch PowerTube 800 Wh battery allows: going further, longer, even when the bike is loaded.
A battery designed for hilly terrain and heavy-duty use
The PowerTube 800 Wh is designed to meet the needs of demanding routes and intensive use. Hilly terrain, extra weight, extended outings : the battery provides an energy reserve that allows you to ride without monitoring the gauge.
It allows:
- To maintain constant assistance despite the load,
- To tackle climbs without performance drop,
- To maintain an autonomy margin on long routes.
? According to Bosch, the range can reach up to 165 km, and even 180 km in ideal conditions, which is +33% autonomy compared to a 600 Wh battery.
To go further, longer, without constraints
With an announced range of up to 180 km, the 800 Wh battery offers true freedom of use:
- Cover hilly routes,
- Go with full panniers,
- Allow for improvised detours,
- Or tow a child trailer, without wondering if the battery will keep up.
This energy reserve allows you to focus on the journey, the environment and the riding experience, rather than on managing autonomy.
Xroad 800 Wh and Thule trailer: family use in real conditions
During this weekend, two mothers and Moustache ambassadors, Élodie Clouvel and Lucie Parmentier, tested the combination of the Moustache Xroad 800 Wh and Thule child trailers.
On routes combining secondary roads and hilly paths, this configuration illustrated the specific needs of family mobility.
In this use, the Xroad 800 Wh meets expectations:
- Adapted traction capacity,
- Stability of the loaded bike,
- Sufficient autonomy for a full day of riding.
And because technology must also serve comfort: the children loved the experience and were able to sleep during the rides ?
Autonomy that supports real-world uses
Designed for hilly terrain and heavy-duty use, the Bosch PowerTube 800 Wh battery expands the possibilities. Whether for daily commuting, family rides, or micro-adventures, it provides the necessary margin to ride long distances, with weight, without the battery dictating the outing.
