Same here.

Nice generalisation.

I've got one of the Timber bells mounted between the right grip and brake lever (above the bar, but tilted down). Easy to switch on and off with my thumb and loud enough to warn walkers (without headphones!) that i'm coming through.

I doubt your LBS would be willing to help if you don't buy the bike from them, and if they did it would cost you in labour at least. My Levo Comp has had both the motor (noise) and charger (died) replaced, and had the engine cover mods all done for free. Maybe just tell the LBS you want to...

Higher capacity integrated (but removable) batteries are getting more popular, and no doubt the capacities will improve over time as well.

No doubt a lot of people I pass on the longer climbs round here think pretty dark thoughts at the time, but I rarely actually hear a comment. Opinions will change as ebikes get more popular, but some people just have to feel superior

Never used it, but if it went straight to "Max Turbo" of 100% assist/100% power that would give an extra power level if you run regular Turbo at a lower assist, 60% in my case

Have to admit at 120kg/265lbs I was a bit dubious of the 28 spokes alloy Roval wheels on my Levo Comp, but after six months and nearly 2000km, the only issue has been one bearing on the rear axle, the rims are totally straight, dent free, and all spokes are evenly tensioned.

The black frame protector shouldn't be like that on a new bike, so I'd see if the shop can get a new piece in to replace it.

I was originally going to wait six months for my Jeffsy, ended up being eight and a half thanks to shipping delays.

NZ government, Department of Conservation - they look after National Parks and a fair bit of the back country -Mountain biking track grades

Mostly XC, intermediate/Grade 3-4

Fork Juice on forks, dropper and shock

I'm a bit taller and same weight, had my Levo Comp six months and covered about 1800km Bent wheels: no issue, even on 28 spoke Roval alloy wheels Suspension: running at about 75% of max pressure, no problem Tire pressure: 20F, 24R - tubeless on Cush Core both ends Trees: A few shoulder taps on...

Deity Blacklabel 800x38 bars

ODI Rogues - 33mm diameter for XL size hands

Price difference for me between the base model and Comp was less cost (and hassle) than a dropper,fork and brake upgrade, so I went with the Comp.

Tried both the LT and Levo in alloy and ended up with the Levo - prefer the 29er wheels, being able to tune the assist levels, the discrete controls/display and also the Bosch motor on the LT was about to be replaced as we've just seen

Coronet Peak in Queenstown NZ - great trails, but very distracting views..

For me the workout from four or five ebike rides a week is far superior to what I used to manage on a regular bike, which was one or two rides at most due to a lack of enthusiasm (and a dogdy heart condition). The assist just takes the edge off climbing, so I can get up to the good tracks...
