And your point is? If my bike is limited to 25 and I ride it at 40 by pedaling it past 25? The impact at 32 or 40 is the same whether I have restricted the bike or not. What I say though is if the speed limit was more realistic as in most countries outside Europe the need for derestriction...

That's only 2 kilos. Less than a proper hydration pack. But watch it. If you continue going along that vein it's not gonna be pretty ???. I'm more concerned that your Levo only gets used almost once a week. Looks like somebody put you up to buying the bike rather than you doing it for yourself...

Awesome bike. Just shows how looking around and trying different options sometimes take you places you never thought you'll go ?

The link is www.stoltz.za.net I haven't posted any articles for a while but the whole story is there and you're welcome to contact me on the blog should you require additional info. My life has changed through fitness weight-loss and bikes and now eMtb's. ?

Look at the e140 and modify the shock and fork to 160mm. The frame is larger. My brother had both the old e160 (two) and a new e140 that he converted to an e160 because of the larger frame. He is 1,9 meters tall. Funny thing is in the end he prefers the smaller e160.

Before you buy try them all. Then go on the forums and look at the issue the people have with their bikes and how the manufacturers/bike shops deal with the issues. The Levo is a nice bike but in my experience spends a lot of time in the shop with motor problems and wiring issues. Their...

I agree. The quality of done hubs leave a lot to be desired. I've had the same issue on a different low quality hub and if you search in the forums you see it is a common issue with crap hubs. I've made a decision to only use DT-Swiss in future. Even if I have to ask the bike shop to upgrade my...

I've had this problem on my Giant as well where the axle keeps coming loose. Apparently there is a way that those over axles that keep the bearings in place can be fixed in place but I eventually gave up and Giant offered me an upgrade to a hub of my choice so I went for a DT-Swiss hub. End of...

Sorry if I'm off topic. You have some great bikes available there and like South Africa less restrictions on speed etc. We on the other hand have more freedom to ride anywhere we like but we ride more natural trails than bike parks. If you ever come this way you must stay on contact. We must do...

I'm 100% okay with a limit. What I'm saying is that the silly 25km/h limit is what makes people derestrict their bikes. My bike has a 32 km/h limit and I will never consider changing it. Most people I know are in agreement with that. If the regulators look at this they'll understand that they...

I will check my 2019 cadence range tomorrow when I ride. I haven't found any changes in my bike's range or characteristics after the software upgrade apart from the change in the walk mode button configuration. I must admit that I haven't checked the cadence so I'll do aa check tomorrow because...

True, the point however remains. Restricting a pedelec is not going to reduce the speed at which people are riding their bikes and targeting pedelecs because one person was hit and got killed (however tragic that is) is not addressing the issue.

I lost 40 kilos on 40 weeks. Riding a bike and sight changes in how I ate. Not less just clever. 45 minutes to an hour of so you need, preferably every day. I have a blog where it's all explained of your interested. Bottom line is that biking becomes much nicer and more fun when you lose weight...

Excellent bike. Personally I'd rather ride with an extra battery than riding with a heavier battery. This means you can ride with one battery 90% of the time and only reach for the second battery when you need it.

The Merida has a light battery and you can carry it in a back pack for your longer rides. For shorter rides you leave it in the car or at home. The benefits are that you have two batteries trust you can cycle which is better than one battery. You also have a lighter bike most of the time. My...

What a croc. Firstly the 25km/h limit is insane. Normal bikes exceed that without motors easily so normal bikes may exceed 25km/h but not pedelecs and if you are limited to 25 and you exceed it by pedaling past it you are doing exactly the "crime" that the poor guy on his pedelec is doing. We in...

Congratulations on your bike. My brother lives in San Diego but he's still on analogy bike. Shame ?

Yes I saw they did an upgrade to the Auto mode where you push the power down button to activate deactivate auto mode and when you return is back in the mode you were in. That's way better than having to switch on/off every time you cycle to from Auto. I agree on the Levo software being a lot...

Brilliant. Almost what I suggested.

Check your hub but it can also come from the motor/crank area. I've forwarded my hub to DT Swiss due to the fact that the axle kept coming loose and the bearings were very rough and the quality just didn't impress me. Giant paid me out for the standard hub and the LBS sorted me on labour. If...
