nice bike and some very good engineering ideas, IP rated motor, waterproof plugs constant battery connection. All sounds like the problems we have been having have been addressed.
Well it doesn't make me very happy, while the spesh engineers have been beavering away on the sl it looks like all...
Yes thats what I thought and possibly better battery performance as well
We successfully build electronic controlled devices that are designed to work in up to 2-3 hundred meters of seawater surely Spesh can design something that keeps the rain out!!
yes I had exactly the same, TCU has water in it, i took mine out and dried it for a couple of days and then taped up all the joints with waterproof tape and put it back in. Didnt work as expected at first but now it seems ok. Chris said I probably need a new TCU but he didnt have any at the time
the 1.2/3 motors had the power socket in a different orientation so there was no bend in the cable. According to electrical engineering standards on cable bends, the one in the 2019 levo exceeds those by quite a bit, do you think a shorter straight cable will regenerate more heat than an over...
It baffles me why they didnt just redesign the cable from the problems they had with the 2017/18 models. With a little bit of engineering the inner plug pins could be turned 180 degrees and then the cable could be much shorter with no loop to cause any strain and it could be much more waterproof
Did you get that direct from specialized? I think the plugs split because the outer casing was too stiff and the loop too tight. Looks like yours has a softer outer case right?
Ok im not trolling i have no intention of campaigning i spent most of my life working with the hse so i am well aware of the nanny state so i think we should accept we dissgree and move on im going out on my bike!
yes but thats my point speed limiters on cars will be very effective (apart from when somebody finds a work around,)
because once the car hits its limit there is absolutely nothing you can do to make it go faster, once an ebike hits its limit there is......pedal
well I dont think there is anything wrong in having insurance, we all should anyway. anybody who rides in mixed areas on road or offroad should have public liability insurance. all road users have to have insurance why are cyclists exempt?
ok so that takes me back to my original point shouldn't they just put speed limits on cycle paths and cycleways that would be far more reaching than electronically restricting a bike that can be ridden faster mechanically, wouldn't it?
hmm we do have a very comprehensive cycle route in the uk, some on road some on dedicated paths both in towns and in the countryside. in the small town where i live they have just extended the cyclepaths by 6-7 miles
well in the forest i live in there are speed limits on the forest tracks but only for motor vehicles, which are forestry commision workers only, there is one section near my house where a biker (ebike or non ebike) can hit 30mph easily, the forest tracks are shared, walkers,cyclists, horseriders
in the UK we have road speed limits, that applies to all traffic, as far as I know a cyclist travelling at 30mph in a 30mph zone is not braking the law and pedestrians are just as much at danger from him as they are to car drivers. As for our cycleways I dont know if there is a speed limit on...
