I like going fast, whether it's cars, motorbikes or MTB. Still like really big rides on my normal bike but still push the down hills, just can't help myself. With an Ebike, you get the downhill feeling up hill.

Long pants as @RustyIron suggested are good or you could get knee/shin guards like these?

The pump @Mr. Breeze has should loose any pressure when you remove it as you unscrew the inner knob first and that closes the shock valve, then you unscrew the hose. Most shock pumps have this feature. You won't usually find that on a pump for tyres as the air volume is much larger and the...

Yes, trail riding takes ages to accumulate distance. I ride my SL to work as well as trail riding, so I get around 150 to 200km a week commuting and just 50km average trail riding on the weekends.

Is that 9,918km on the second motor or is that total? How's the battery holding up? Mine is still telling me that it's at 100% health.

This, except with an Ebike, every day is like Saturday! ;)

My old Non-Ebike Norco Sight has a carbon frame and it's a 2015 model and done over 11,000km, countless enduros and some at EWS level and I've never had an issue with it. I had a Giant Anthem in an aluminium frame and broke that. I don't think it's the material, it's either a bad design or...

10,000km clocked up this morning. Still the original motor, although I did replace the sprag bearing as a precaution.

No worries, glad it worked!

So, you are definitely using the two step release on the pump? There should be a part that you unscrew first that seals the valve before you unscrew the hose from the valve. Does the valve lose pressure without the pump attached? Maybe it needs a new valve core.

You're going to need a good lawyer for that case! 😬

Yes but @sethimus mentioned the Kenevo SL, not the full powered Kenevo. It's about the same weight as the EXe and Trance but has more travel. While the Levo SL is a long travel trail bike the Kenvo SL is more of an Enduro bike. To be honest, any of the bikes you have listed would be fine for...

You are probably right there, but if it comes down to selling a motor or nothing at all, that might change things.

Things might change with the way the bike industry is going and seeing that Specialized is struggling to shift product. They may see a market for motor upgrades, as I assume when demand was really high there were no motors spare to sell separately.

Specialized must be in a bit of hurt at the moment. I bought a new Stumpjumper a couple of months ago and got $3000 AU off the marked price and now it's $1000 less than that.

Yes, you would swap TCUs as well, but you need a Specialized dealer to recalibrate them for the different wheel size. It may work out cheaper depending on what you sold your KSL1 for, but you do then end up with two bikes that you have voided the warranty on, and a kid's bike that you may not...

Unfortunately, from what I have heard, it's not quite that easy. You need to source full sized cranks (different cranks to the old 1.1 motor and not interchangeable) and get the TCU remapped for the bigger wheels (hopefully you have a good relationship with your local dealer). You will have to...

Sounds fine to me! (y)

Ah, but not everywhere. ;) In the US and other countries you can buy them direct. https://www.whyteusa.bike/pages/pro-set-up

They do have dealers, but you can buy directly from the website, so yes, they are a direct to consumer brand, same as Specialized.
