    Hello, newby from Oklahoma US

    Welcome! But be aware that while folks here can be like minded about the fun of ebikes they different mined about lots of other things. ;) Like your “E-Okie” handle, now you just need a Sooner Wagon avatar.

    Transalp. Munich to Lake Garda in Italy

    Wow! An amazing ride and stunning photos, coupled with a father-son bonus. Thanks for sharing. Gotta love the Alps! I'd like to put something together like that here in the U.S., but I don't think we could match your beautiful scenery.

    Comparison of Rocky Mountain Altitude Carbon 50 and Specialized Turbo Levo Comp

    Wow, quite a detailed and thoughtful write up. ? Both bikes sound like winners. Too bad you can’t demo a Levo with 27.5 wheels to see if wheel size is the key. I like running 27.5x3 tires on my 2019 Levo for local SoCal rides and throw on a 29x3 for desert sand and places like Moab with lots of...

    Fox 34s - getting all the travel?

    @miPbiP - what's the ID code on your fork? If it's the same as the Fox 34 on my '19 Carbon Comp it's "DKNF". You can get info at the link below: Bike Help Center | FOX I'm 160 lb out-of-the-shower and get 140mm+ travel using using no spacers and 20-25% sag (60psi). I do run the heavier 700Wh...

    2019 Turbo Levo Owners Thread

    :eek: you, sir, are truly cursed! Maybe get a nice used 2018 model with the previous gen motor? Oh, and please do not come near my '19 as it's running well

    Are there any ladies here?

    RE comfy seat recommendations: Mrs levity has "settled" on Specialized's Alida seat. It's well padded (Specialized *Level 4*) and wide at 155mm for support, but it's easy to move around on. Hefty at 345g but worth the weight penalty (I use the men's Canopy version on my Levo). Inexpensive - $35...

    2019 Turbo Levo Owners Thread

    Ummm, I’m guessing there’s no Mrs. David2164 or she wasn’t home at the time. ? Nice bike though!

    Levo's negative forum reviews are a concern?? Reliability succses rate??

    Some additional data points: We have seven Specialized E-bikes in our extended family - two '18 Levos, two '18 Vados, and three '19 Levos. No service/repairs other than some software updates have been required yet, though one 2019 Levo has developed a somewhat noisy motor that may need...

    2019 Turbo Levo Owners Thread

    @Truckeemtb - you need the new rear pivot protection kit: Here it is installed, your shop should do it under warranty. Also, I left my makeshift crud deflector (shown taped up for the photo) to protect the paint

    @Kave - 1. Attach five 5-lb. weights to your Top Fuel. 2. Ride the park again. 3. Report back to us. ;)

    2019 Turbo Levo Owners Thread

    Welcome @Truckeemtb! There's a lot of nice riding in your neighborhood - I'm sure you're anxious for the snow to melt! Mrs levity and I will be up there next week (staying at Donner Lake), but we're only taking our regular mtbs this trip. Do you know if the Sawtooth - Big Chief area is...

    2019 Levo 700 battery

    Welcome @mclydeg! You'll have lots of fun with the new bike. I'd recommend the larger battery, whether as part of the Expert model or an upgrade to a lower model with the 500Wh battery. I'm about 50 lb. lighter than you and bought a 700Wh battery for my Comp Carbon to go longer, farther and...
