I've a 2020 Levo Turbo, it's now on 4,500 miles and nearly out of motor warranty. The original battery cable was replaced as it failed just after I washed it for the second time, but the new design is still fine. Occasionally the bike has cut out after long descents due to brake pad filings...
So, Mission Control is dead, and the new app offers 'Everything and More'
Except there is a huge amount of data missing- Battery voltage, battery health, motor current, motor temperature, motor hours, software versions firmware versions, serial numbers etc etc etc....
Does this mean all this is...

Whilst the Light Bee L1E bike is sold as road legal, it just says it complies to European stands, but says nothing about what type of licence you need to ride it, and how to tax, MOT and insure it. All the other bikes are sold without a hint that using them in...
In the UK, it's completely out of control. Before covid, the use of illegal e-scooters and electric motorcycles could have been nipped in the bud, but during covid, millions of them were sold and used, so it's become totally un policeable. Various police forces keep saying they will have a...
So if the nominal output is raised to 500W, what would the peak output be raised to? There already seems to be a big disparity between nominal and peak outputs, and no one seems to know how they are measured anyway? 500W at 15.5 mph will only show itself on very steep hills, my 250W Levo will...
It's dead easy to install a CD / DVD drive in your PC, if you haven't already got one.
Vinyl died off decades ago, and it's now back big time, and there are billions, if not trillions of CD's and DVD's lurking out there, sooner or later, people will want to play them again. The format will be...
The word E-bike should not be used, as it wraps up all electric small transport in one mis-understood word.
Pedelecs, ie electric mountain and road bikes, are absolutely not the electric motorcycles that are causing all the problems and deaths, but we are all being blamed for deaths caused by...
It's really weird - derailleur gear systems are a brilliant, yet appalling design. On paper, they are a messy idea that breaks all engineering principles, and are doomed to failure. Somehow the reality is they are generally quite reliable. But the main reason for continued use after 100 years...
My Levo is 3 1/2 years old on the original motor and original firmware from summer 2020. The motor seems like it will last a while longer, so probably pass its warranty period, but if it did fail before then, I think I'd pay to have it rebuilt so as to keep the firmware that works fine with the...
My Levo Turbo is derestricted, and find I ride at around 20mph, maybe 22mph, but I find the cadence too high on standard gearing going any faster. If my bike was restricted to 20mph, and knowing what I know now, I doubt I'd bothered derestricting it. 4.5mph extra doesn't sound much on paper, but...
Exactly that! Climbing a hill below 15.5mph in turbo mode puts the maximum strain on everything. Restriction has nothing to do with taking the strain off things, it's arbitrary laws created by governments not bike manufacturers.
Edited now I've looked at the video again on a proper size screen. It originally looked as though the image was flipped, as happens with selfies. So it's not being back pedalled, but it shouldn't be making that screeching sound! Yes, it does show some slight resistance, but nothing you would...

The proof is in understanding how the motors work, and that the sprag clutch completely disengages ALL the motor and gearbox when pedalling. There is a very very tiny bit of resistance in the sprag clutch which is totally unnoticeable. All the rest is just the weight of bike and tyres, or...
