    Transalp 2020

    Agree with Woody2... absolutely stunning shots! I have wanted to do this route since first reading about it. Unfortunately my wife/ riding partner isn't up to it, yet...working on that!

    Rib Injuries

    I had a fall on flat ground that broke 3 ribs and punctured a lung! Crazy, I was only going about 5 kmph on a gravel bike and hit the edge of a stone path running parallel to my direction of travel and sticking up about a half inch, hardly even visible, and it threw me down so fast that I had...

    Levo Gen 2 Warranty extension & Firmware Update for all 2019/20 Levo/Kenevo with 2.1 motors

    You are correct in that power is reduced at 15% remaining capacity by the software reducing current to the motor. IMHO This is to both protect the battery as well as extend the remaining range as much as possible. The lower the current draw the higher the voltage,. The higher the voltage the...

    Levo Gen 2 Warranty extension & Firmware Update for all 2019/20 Levo/Kenevo with 2.1 motors

    To go along with what Zimmerfrane is saying, if you look at a discharge graph for a 3500mah 18650 lithium battery you will see that voltage decreases at pretty much a linear rate until around the last 20% of capacity where it starts dropping off sharply. Your perception of less power is...

    What travel forks on your Levo?

    You can fit the Charger 2.1 to the Revelation. I haven't done it yet... waiting for a discount but I have fit a 160 mm DebonAir 2021 and changed to Maxima Plush 3wt oil in my Revelation Charger RC. Definitely an improvement over stock! Will change to SKF wiper seals once I get the 2.1 and will...

    Article Next leap in battery performance for ebikes?

    Hey Knut7, Thanks for your videos! I enjoy the thoughts and opinions of a fellow eMTB enthusiast. About the agressive comments above from @csj I understand what you are saying and agree that a 48v system will be more efficient and the battery will charge quicker at the rated 4 amp output of the...

    Looking at a Van later ! HELP

    Well, I ended up buying an SUV and built a bike rack to carry 2 eMTBs inside with the front wheel removed. It's not as guick and easy as a van would be but the comfort of the SUV makes up for it.

    Mission Control Mission Control - Which Heart Rate Strap?

    Well it turns out that you cannot connect a HRM directly to Strava, according to a Heart Rate Insight page that is part of the new Analysis page on the app. IMHO Strava has made this change to move the liability to the HRM manufacturers by only importing data from the Manufacturers app. I...

    It can happen anywhere.

    I sure would have liked to have had a chest protector on during my incident but who wears one when gravel riding?

    Mission Control Mission Control - Which Heart Rate Strap?

    I purchased the OH1 for use with MC/Blevo and Strava. I have been able to get a live HR on MC but none of the data will transfer to Strava nor is there any history available. It doesn't work with Strava either. You have to use Polar's Beat app and sync the ride data from there to Strava which...

    It can happen anywhere.

    Yep...can happen anywhere! I went for an easy gravel ride with my daughter and had the front wheel wash out on a 1/2 inch ledge the was parallel to my direction of travel but well camouflaged on the edge of a puddle. The fastest I have ever gone down and ended up with 3 broken ribs and a...

    TEC Pack - What's Inside?

    30ea 3500mah 18650 cells arranged in 10s 3p, or 10.5AHr at 36v nominal, and a BMS designed to comunicate with the Focus Jam's Shimano STePs E8000 system. There is a thread that shows an opened T.E.C. pack and I believe it names the brand of cells used.

    Looking at a Van later ! HELP

    Its just the A/C thing in the T3 really...other than that it is very comfortable, like a big land yacht. Well there is the lack of power too. 70 horses of raw turbo diesel power keeps you creeping in the truck lane up anything that resembles a hill! That is not comfortable......

    Looking at a Van later ! HELP

    I hear what your saying...I actually have a T-3 Westfalia Hightop that I need to restore and love the space and versatility it provides. But it suffers as an everyday car and the layout is not good for storing bikes inside...and no air conditioning makes summer travel less and less fun as we...

    Looking at a Van later ! HELP

    Was going to buy an SUV as a primary vehicle but now want to carry our ebikes inside vs out in the elements and for eveyone to see...! Anybody using a midsize SUV with 2 large Turbo Levo sized eMTBs? I'm also looking at a Mk4 Caddy maxi which might be able to transport up to 3 riders and bikes...
