back when I was into computer games and used to buy the magazines, I noticed after a while the mags never put "no good new games this month, save your money" on the cover.

cool so you'd get ~1000m altitude out of a battery same as I do on my 500Wh Levo. what do you think of the ride?

my kinda answer short sweet and to the point. ;-)

So .... On a bio bike I've been a confirmed 29er rider for years, I love how they hold momentum and roll. 650b seems daft to me except for aggressive DH (I'm not). So I bought a Levo "like you do". But the thought occurs - does the equation change on an ebike, since I'm not pedalling it...

Looking forwards to your pics and ride reports Gerry.

you're right - but this wouldn't stop me buying one if I loved the ride. it'll be fine on bio rides, just turn it off and use it for training. no you won't keep yup on a fast e ride unless you are very strong.

I'm guessing the rear would follow a tighter (lower radius) arc with a smaller tyre so might fell a tad snappier. Or maybe it's not noticeable in reality.

I pedal my Levo, it's fine on flats and gentle climbs.

feels about right, SL in the middle. being less tired at the top of a climb is still a win, leaves more energy to roll into the descent.

seems odd to me to buy an SL on the assumption of always using the extender. if "range" is your thing, especially if you're worried about pedalling your bike, get the Levo. on range equivalence: very plausible to me but I'm assuming the SL rider is working harder and going slower. I'm betting...

I reckon 2.6F 2.3R will be sweet. I'm still running the stock 2.6 Butcher on the rear of my '19 Levo, but really only to wear it out before replacing it.

Spesh claim 4kg saving all through the model range like for like.

27.5 is a pretence - that's 1/2 way between 26" and 29". 650b isn't, it's closer to 26" than 29".

It's to stop crud getting down into the motor compartment. Not necessary on the Stumpy obv.

But I'm a medium sized guy on a medium Levo and it's the best fitting bike I ever had. & geo suits me fine as it's a trail bike not a mini-DH. Maybe it's a tall person's issue. (I always thought it's odd as frames lengthen, rear ends don't. Probably not great for taller people).

you got a 2.6 DHR in the back of an SL? ridden it in mud yet?

I'd say those numbers aren't right. I don't have his numbers but I have a mate who wasn't happy and was given a new battery.

word. if I lost as much off my tum as an SL would save over my Levo, I'd be a riding god. (and it is there to loose). also I'm amazed how much clobber people carry in rucksacks when riding round here (Surrey Hills). it's like they're crossing the Utah desert not pootling in the woods 20...

must be beneficial not having to faff about with the cable routing in an ebike frame.

My Levo leaning on my dishwasher. Family are away for half term!
