Details Matter The Bullit’s battery system. Why the 600 Wh + 250 Wh configuration is the best option for overall ride quality. • Thanks to @boschebikesystems modern battery cell technology, the Bullit’s internal 600 Wh battery allows us to make a surprisingly light, supreme handling, full-power, 170mm travel ebike in the 48.4 lbs / 21.95 kg weight range. And while we think the Bullit, as it sits, has plenty enough range for your average daily 2.5 to 3 hr rides, we know that some riders want, or need, more juice for longer excursions, so the Bullit has an optional 250 wh PowerMore range extender to boost your total battery capacity to 850 Wh. Why not just use the 800 Wh main battery? We value handling, and trail manners above all. And the PowerTube 800 weighs a full 900 grams / 2 pounds more than the 600. That’s a whole lot of weight to add in the event you might need it for some rides. But if you do the Bullit’s 600 Wh + PowerMore 250 Wh gives you 50 watts more than the 800, and carries the added weight a little bit lower on the frame, and more rearward, which helps lower the overall center of gravity. The 800 battery is also wider than the 600, which means we would have to build the carbon frame structure around that battery to a larger diameter, increasing the frame structure weight, and changing the Bullit’s sleek profile to one with a more big & bulky downtube shape. And while aesthetics is not the most important part of our design goals, it is another detail that matters. • #detailsmatter #santacruzbicyclesdetailsmatter #santacruzbullit
