Transition have three eBikes in their range, the Repeater, Repeater PT and the Relay. The Repeater PT has the most powerful motor of the two (90Nm compared to 85Nm Shimano Repeater and 60Nm of the Relay), and has a largest 720wh battery for much more range.
Similarly to the Sentinel, the Repeater is a bit of a do-it-all ebike. 160 mm of travel and 29" wheels front and back help it cover ground quickly. Transition have managed to fit the motor in without straying too far from the sort of numbers you would look for in an enduro bike (455 mm chain stays, compared to 440 mm for the Sentinel and 452/454 for the Spire).
The Repeater PT is fitted with the new SRAM Powertrain system, the next big step in eBike motors, which integrates with the Transmission electronic drivetrain.
Japanese Toray carbon fibre with aluminium inserts keep the frame weight down and durability up. Transition offer a lifetime frame warranty for the first owner, as well as a crash replacement program. Main pivots use a collet for extra stiffness, and added bearing seals keep the Enduro MAX bearings running smoothly for longer. If you're not familiar with Enduro MAX bearings, they are made specifically for mountain bike suspension linkages, and they last far better than other bearings in Scottish riding conditions.
