I think it makes no difference to how you ride or jump. I prefer to ride right foot forward.

There are already separate categories for throttle and pedal assist bikes in most countries. Australia has two. 1. Power Assisted Pedal Cycles (200 watts maximum) 2. EN15194 Certified Power Assisted Pedal Cycle (Pedelac, 250 watts maximum) Anything else is a motorbike. USA has 4 categories...

I've re-uploaded the pics. See if that works.

After breaking the seat stay and having to wait for the replacement, I decided to rebuild the motor. Mainly as I thought the sprag bearing was on its way out, as it has slipped under full standing up cranking once or twice. The motor has done over 8300km so not a bad effort and other than that...

The Sram motor is just a Brose motor which was developed for Specialized in the first place. Unfortunately, they all seem to have their own different choices when it comes to cranks.

What type of bike do you have that requires assistance above 32kph and has enough drag to not be able to make jumps that you could do on a normal MTB? Any properly designed jump line you should have plenty of speed just from gravity. Some will require you to hit each jump to keep the momentum...

Well, I suppose with all those second-hand warrantied motors that they would have, (must be in the tens of thousands) it would be silly not to do something with them. I honestly think that the motor and bike brands need to realise that a motor unit is not a disposable item and should be...

It is difficult to seal a shaft and have low frictional losses. Not an issue for motorcycles and automotive applications as the power losses are easily overcome by the large power outputs. To make a motor unit that can be peddled unassisted and feel a lot like a normal bike is a difficult...

Just going on the reports from the owners of the later model Levos. The motor failure (and that's mainly the belt issue) seems to be nowhere near as bad as it was a few years ago.

Seems that SRAM have jumped in at the right time with their own branded Brose motor. Specialized spent all the warrantee cash getting it sorted with Brose and SRAM walk on in when it's all sorted.

I have a 2020 Levo SL and I love it! I have about 15 years of riding normal MTBs, racing XC and Gravity Enduro and the odd DH. I'm a month off turning 50 and was going to wait until then but just over a year ago a nice, well kept second hand SL came up for a good price, so I decided to nail it...

Mine is really tight, it’s like it is a press fit in there. I’m going to have to make some kind of puller to remove it.:(

How did you remove the sprag bearing from this housing? The brass part seems to be pressed into the outer steel housing and I was worried about damaging it.

I think that the bells are a good compromise for mountain bikes to be able to ride shared trails. When it comes to urban paths, I find that the bell pretty useless as @steve_sordy said, a bell becomes what I call a "pedestrian randomiser" where they could stop dead, jump left, jump right or not...

The percentage per 1000,000 vehicles of vehicle fires is less for EVs than ICE vehicles, it is just that an EV fire makes headlines while a normal car burning is not worth covering, so all you see is "EVs are burning everywhere". In Norway, which has the world’s highest share of electric car...

I'd say that I could be that your cassette is worn and not meshing with the chain correctly. Do you have a chain checker to measure the chain?

That sucks and broken ribs are pretty uncomfortable to put up with. I have found that they do heal quickly enough that the pain at least goes away withing 3 or so weeks from my experience. Remember to still take deep breaths as you can get pneumonia from only taking shallow breaths. Hope the...

I read this before... Always remember to plug the charger first into the wall outlet this is because most of the chargers have capacitors that condition the power during charging and what happens if you plug the charger into the battery without plug in the charger in the wall outlet first is the...
