The various design staff have announced on LinkedIn, etc. that everyone has been let go, beyond a skeleton crew in the warehouse to handle the last few sales. When Ashley took over Evans they carried on selling Pinnacle bikes to the same design as pre-takeover with no changes until they were...
I've only experience of NX Eagle cassettes but if you're only interested in SX/NX level components and an HG freehub I'd also keep a look out for deals on Sunrace cassettes. It's sounds like you're wearing the higher gears more so an alloy granny gear wouldn't be an issue.
Its a proper work out to attempt to go faster.
That's good news, you'll be able to tell people truthfully its not cheatinh and you're still getting a work out. 👍
Being serious for a moment, tweaking it to go faster is illegal if used on the road, Giant don't have the best reputation for their...
I picked up my Gen 2 Levo second hand and it came with a pair of Michelin DH34s, the rear however was very worn. I've replaced them with Pirelli eMTB S in 2.6 and they are very tight in the rear on the stock wheels. The spec sheet says it came with 2.6 butchers, are the spesh 2.6 smaller or are...
Honda annual turnover $132 billion
Specialized annual turnover $0.5 billion
Motorbike frame sizes = 1
Levo frame sizes S1-S6
First Honda motorbike 1949
First Specialized eBike 2009
That the two objects have wheels and a motor is a red herring. The two use cases place a higher burden on the...
Not my cup of tea so I'd avoid unless the bike was an exceptional one (either price or performance) but the new Focus I thought was the perfect worst example with its vomiting stem design and an integrated handlebar. So much hassle right there! 🤣
Sounds identical to be honest. There are huge discounts across the board.
I think the problem is that some feel that a bike sold with 50% off is still making the retailer and manufacturer fat profits when the reality is they are minimising losses by trying to clear the decks of depreciating...
Pop into Halfords and get a commuting capable eBike for a grand or less. Do I think Specialized and the like are having a laugh with the price of an S-Works, yes siree. Are they depriving deserving individuals from a human right, no, I don't think so. At the risk of forcing the issue, ignoring...

Road tax for electric bikes starts next year.
How do zero ved vehicles get their free tax? By presenting their proof of MOT & insurance.
I don't understand your logic here. There's no elephant in the room as illegal and dodgy eBikes are err... illegal and in the news all the time. If we are hoping to avoid being tarred with the same brush then asking to go faster seems self defeating.
When my grandad got his driving licence...
What amuses me is that if you don't care - why is it such a big deal for you?
That's my goal. What's yours? What do you want to achieve by being against a slightly increased assisted speed by 4 mph? Why are you putting your time, effort, and energy into this discussion if you care very little...
Important for this discussion is to separate the city-bike from the sport-mtb.
Safety-issues focussing in majority on the city-bikes and the safety for eldery. That's fine, but it's another problem. Don't let that problem overshadow the sportsclass.
You can't seperate the two! Anywhere you use...

Imagine if cars were restricted like that—Ferraris and Puntos could go 60 mph, but Tesla is capped at 45 mph just because they're electric, while their petrol pals zoom by at 60 mph. Talk about a double standard, right?
Absolutely nonsensical false equivalence!
The only way this argument...
