    Solo Riding Safety device trackers a - which ones to review?

    A number of Garmin Edge devices (820, 530, 830, 1030 & possibly others) have live tracking and incident detection with the ability to message contacts via the Garmin Connect app. Once triggered, you have a 30 second countdown to cancel, if you don't your nominated contacts receive a message and...

    Garmin Edge 830 compatibility with Levo

    You can't really change the font size, but you can customise the multiple data screens for the required number of fields, so for example is you have 3 data fields on screen, the text will be larger than if you have 10 fields.

    Garmin Edge 830 compatibility with Levo

    Wahoo devices get good reviews and are good value, however I think the only way to get one to display battery on a Levo is to enable the fake channel on the bike and then assign a field on screen to it which is a fudge. Garmin has been around for much longer and has an app ecosystem which makes...

    Garmin Edge 830 compatibility with Levo

    That doesn't appear to be the case with my 2019 Comp, I get speed/cadence as a dual sensor, power and ebike, with no connectivity issues. Do you have the fake channel enabled in Mission Control app perhaps?

    Garmin Edge 830 compatibility with Levo

    I would recommend Garmin myself, I’ve had several models over the years and use the Edge on my non ebikes. They’re sometimes criticised for occasional flaky firmware updates, and the competition (Wahoo, Lezyne, etc) are usually cheaper and just as fully featured but I always end up coming back...

    Garmin Edge 830 compatibility with Levo

    You can also download a Garmin Connect iQ app “Ebike field” developed by somebody on this forum and the Garmin can also display bike mode and battery level, very neat.

    Garmin Edge 830 compatibility with Levo

    I have a 1030 and the Levo presents itself as 3 separate sensors: Speed/cadence Power meter EBike The Garmin head unit can then be configured to show speed, cadence and power from the bike, no need to use external cadence and speed sensors. The power displayed & recorded is rider input power...

    Insurance

    I’ve got the Levo, plus a road bike & a gravel bike insured with Laka (total £11k cover). It’s a monthly rolling policy and you only pay out your “share” of the pooled claims. Based on your gear, they set a likely price for the month, and a maximum price. So I will pay £28 for a month, it could...

    Hello from South Dorset

    Alright mate.

    Garmin 1030: Can you display GPS speed instead of sensor speed.

    When a speed sensor is first paired with a Garmin Edge device, leave the wheel size set to auto - then ride it (preferably flat & straight-ish) for 1km - the Edge should beep and display "wheel size calibrated", this simply allows it to count the number of wheel rotations against a measured GPS...

    Bike stand for EMTB

    In the meantime, for a work stand, I'm have taken an old set of road bike bars and clamped them into my Park Tool PCS-10, seems to be stable enough.

    Bike stand for EMTB

    @Fjmcustombikestands Do you know how your stand would work with a 2019 Levo Comp, with Praxis crankset? Would one have to remove the 8mm hex nuts?

    Neoprene battery sleeves - cold weather range extenders or gimmick?

    I have no evidence either way with an e-bike, but my old electric car used to have a significantly shorter range in winter and since I started putting pipe lagging around my road bike seat post when parked in the garage during winter the di2 battery didn’t drain nearly as much, so it could be a...
