Living in a big city,what I am currently witnessing when it comes to electric bicycles of any discribtion is totally chaos,from not only sales but enforcement as well even seen an advert on the side of the road advising that there’s no need to insure when using on the highway,and there is always...
Just didn’t feel as subtle as the Brose,what I did like on the Whyte was the gear change with it being electric compared to a cable on the Turbo Levo,but as to it being any better?? Hmmmm
Hi
I hope I can give you a little help
We are motorbike people and rode normal mountain bikes, but during Covid we would go out more when we could and my husband would moan for having to wait for me to catch up (only talking a few mins) but you know what men are like
after lockdown decided to...
My mountain bike experience is limited….all of it is around Speacilized and Brose motors,have been attempting to prise myself away and rode my first bike with a 23 Bosch motor, but blimey I though it was noisey compared to what I have is that the norm,oh the other bike? A Whyte 180
Some great posts on this thread cuz the moment you start looking for any logic when spending money your digging a very big hole…and no one has even introduced age yet 😄
Your right…and currently got 6 motorcycles in the garage and we both have a Turbo Levo,the problem being…non of are going to live for ever, so we lump it first and like it second
The one thing no one explains about this e-mountain bike lark when looking to buy.
What motor? Even narrowing down to Brose/Bosch/Shimano
Alloy or Carbon frame
27.5 front and back or 29 front and back Oh hang on what about a Mullet 🙄
Worrying about how fast they are is way down the road,but...
My background is motorcycles, had a normal mountain bike hanging on the garage wall as did my wife and that’s about all they have/had done, covid came along and we needed a change of plan, wifey couldn’t keep up so gallantly suggested buying her am electric mountain bike……not realising the...
My background is motorcycle, you ride off-road with a big front wheel(normally 21”) and tarmac with a smaller(normally 17””) how the hell anyone rides a mountain bike with a small front wheel i’ve No idea.
Interesting reading the various comments, my wife is on bike number 3 with Bosch motors, 2 Whytes and a Cube non of those motors have been as good as the Brose in my Specialised, i’ve Had one glitch with a front wheel and was gobsmacked at how good and quick the Specialised warranty sorted it.
Having just agreed to buy Turbo Levo Expert Carbon with the new TCU with the 700W battery 2.2 motor in Mullet form at £10k not sure what to think.
Yes I do have a KTM but that’s a thread for another day.
The mistake you are making is the assumption you can just sell your bike and go and buy what ever you want when you want it and I can assure you that is a mistake, we have waited literally months for a 23 Cube Action Team and ironically it has just turned up in the last couple of days and we...
Interesting seeing a post like this....when in a split second you go from having a pleasant Sunday ride out with your wife, to her screaming her head off and you turn around to find some scum bag who has picked up the back of her bike while she is still on it and he is shouting expletives to...
