You could do that but all the weight would be in the wrong place, high up on your back rather than low down in the frame. It will impact the handling imo.
So pretty much done apart from the decals....so tempting to put up some shots but will resist until 100% done.
Did a final weight check.....spec below, I’m happy?

The four screws self tap into the plastic back section. Once they are out you will need to give the front cover a little tweek with something to lever it off. Nothing else holds in on but be careful the rear part inside the frame (pictured below) doesn’t drop in or you’ll have to drop motor to...
Final few bits arrived so build day today/tomorrow.
All pretty lightweight stuff, think I might just hit my target weight of matching a carbon framed SL??♂️?
Sorry for delays on this but back on schedule now and with time on my hands to get it finished?
Finial stages of refining the frame completed today in the sunshine.
Have gone a little further with the finish than on my Levo, but think as it’s an SL can get away with the higher shine to the...
JC, will do, i’m in the final stages of the SL build, and will compare the linkage as that’s currently off the bike.
Would be interested in your thoughts & review on the Cascade linkage as I’m considering of those.
Have a stumpy aswell so will check out the differences along with the range...

Review: Been riding a set of Zipp 3 Zero Moto carbon rims recently and must say mightily impressive.
As a back story I’m not overly fond of carbon rims, had them come standard on a few bikes...
Discussed this with Push as fitment is the same but hasn’t been tested for SL yet. This one is intended for the SL I’m building up, couldn’t resist fitting it to Levo first. Will keep the review updated as we go if enough are interested.

Push's New ElevenSix Coil Shock Has Hydraulic Bottom Out Control - Pinkbike
Review: Fitted the new Push ElevenSix to my Levo this weekend. It’s the newer version which has a number of differences...
Well I’ve couple of updates, one is new shock arrived, Push Eleven-Six, I might do a separate review on that as first one in UK I believe, fitted it to the Levo to test out and very impressive.
Second is that with all the Covid-19 stuff going on I’ve moved all bike stuff back home in...
Slight thread deviation but few pics of the Specialized Epic just finished......please forgive it’s a fully leg powered machine?? but a sneak peak into the finish on the SL
From racing a few southern enduro’s on eBikes last year I’ll be riding the SL this year as I think the handling and agility will be an advantage, but those stages tend to be steeper. E-EWS will need a Levo for purely a range standpoint.
