I'd say going that much longer would slow your steering a bit, but for the riding you want to do it shouldn't be too much of an issue. If it's a fit problem (long arms?) then maybe try putting the seat back further first to see if that makes the cockpit more comfortable

I was getting sore hands and wrists on rides and worked out it was down to the weight load being too low and forward on the bike. Moved my saddle back about 10mm, got a higher rise bar (38mm) and fitted bigger grips (33mm) - no pain since.

I just use the MC app for tuning the assist and hook the bike up to my Garmin Forerunner watch with the E bike Field app so I can see exact battery percentage and other ride statistics at a glance without getting my phone out (or having a computer on the bars). Blevo looks great if you really...

Both great bikes with their own strengths and weaknesses, the importance of which will vary for every rider. I bought a Levo Comp as it fits my needs for trail riding and a bit of bike park - if I was more into jumps I would have gone for something with a bit more travel and better suspension...

I'm just going to get a 700wh spare, then I can choose depending on the ride length/elevation or even carry one for a longer distance (e.g. Old Ghost Road).

Know what you mean, I've got the same battery and could now easily clean it out on most rides. I get about 30-40km until I'm down to the last 10%. 700Wh would give me another 400m or so of climbing per ride. Losing some weight would help, 120kg is a big load.

Don't underestimate the importance of a good shop when you buy an ebike - my Levo Comp has needed a few fixes and they have all been sorted out immediately with no questions asked. If a shop gives you a "can't be bothered" attitude, they will care even less for sorting out any warranty hassle...

Next ebike I buy will be for the wife - got her a demo of the Levo Comp to try and she loved it. Hoping new models come with the 700wh battery, I would put that in my bike and she can have my 500 as she's lighter than me.

I carry a BBB multitool with a 2.5 on it. The SWAT one on the bottom of the bottle cage is a PITA to get out (and often dirty).

I'd guess slipping in the drivetrain on a new bike is the freehub - I'd get it back to the shop and have them ride it so they can feel it.

I have an irregular heart beat with episodes of heart failure and the ebike (Levo) has literally been a life saver. I can keep my HR steady on climbs and as Gary noted am more likely to get a spike in HR on a long fast descent. I've noticed my fitness improve gradually, with far more stable...

I weigh about the same and I run my alloy Levo Comp at 250psi on the rear, nowhere near the limit and probably too much sag, but never bottom out. Likewise the forks are at 110 psi instead of the recommended 140 or so, no issues,but I am just trail riding with relatively small jumps and step...

I'm the same height with long arms and the '19 XL Levo fits me perfectly with a 50mm stem, 800x38mm bar and seat back on the rails. Might be worth waiting to see if the new '20 Levo models come with bigger batteries or other improvements, of the bikes out now the Commencal appeals to me if I...

After a muddy ride I carefully hose off most of it without aiming directly for the motor area. Then I let it dry and drain upright for a couple of hours. This usually leaves a dirty film, so I give it a spray of Dirt Juice, a wipe down with an old t shirt or towel and then a spray of Frame...

Good to see the battery charging port moved up and inwards to work with the extender, and keep it further away from the muck as well. Expensive, but exciting developments.

Hope you get it back, sounds like they knew what they were after. Be good if there was an option for the motor to only turn on if the owner's Bluetooth paired device (watch, phone) is in range.

That size should be fine. I'm 6'5" with a 36 inseam and long arms and the XL Levo fits me perfectly with a 50mm stem, a 38mm rise x 800mm wide bar and the seat almost fully back on the rails.

Exactly, it's not aggressive and most rides when I use it I actually get thanked by walkers/runners and slower riders. I had a guy catch up to me on a ride who wanted to pass and he just kept ringing his bell every 30 seconds when there was nowhere to pull over, just got my back up.

Don't come across dogs on the trail too often, but I'm extra wary of the ones on the long retractable leashes (which you sometimes can't see until it's too late) - they make a awful noise if you run over the lead...

Thats the current (19) model
