    Critter encounters - beautiful, funny or fearsome

    Identity crisis...whom am I ?

    To the original poster. Sounds like you’ve earned the right to simply answer........”Rider“. If they say “what?” you worked hard to say....”what ya got?”

    What do all you e-bikers do in winter???

    Enjoy the quiet trails/winter woodland. Fall off more, trail maintenance. Oh and buy kit while it's cheaper. Reinstate the bigger lines that jerks/council/whoever fell trees across every summer. I would say that in this area the trails improve. Rains way less than spring and autumn, and the...

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    I’ll start the ball rolling, this week she’s had. New kmc chain, cassette, renthal ring. Also mech and dropper cables. New front and rear pads. A new bar remote(warranty). Fork service. Hoping for a couple of spend free weeks now. Big mileage costs!

    Gradual Battery Degradation

    For extra info I haven’t used my trailwatts with this battery as much lately. I save it for longer days. When I do use it the remainder is normally 40 ish percent over the same route. A hidden benefit of the trailwatts is that the “fresh battery feel” will last that mileage. Requiring no turbo...

    Gradual Battery Degradation

    Hi, i Just checked my battery health on blevo. I have 495 w/h and 98%, that’s with 1900 miles And 53 charges. This battery was new only a few weeks ago! I have a standard daily route of almost exactly the average per charge. I arrive home with 10/15 percent remaining. wind direction seems to...

    Hi guys, any of you upgrade the front chain ring from 32 to 36 teeth ? If so what will work with the Levo ? Thanks

    Brilliant mod I just did, to be fair it needed it after dropping from 2.8 to 2.6 tyres, which reduced the wheel circumference. I am trying a renthal alu 36. I’m (slightly optimistically) hoping it will be rugged enough. chain guide fits as designed with a very fine shim to centre the device on...

    Which battery extender?

    I’ve been mega happy with my trailwatts 250. Provides exactly 50% more capacity with the fresh battery feeling going much longer. Seen all weathers and many charges up here in the frozen north, where it’s been winter for weeks now. Not sure exact mileage without going outside(see previous...

    Losing fitness on the e-mtb, my thoughts fwiw.

    Thankyou I have been amazed and delighted by the improvements. Life changing, even saving. Some of my issues relate to leg surgeries and resulting embolisms. Keep going dude. I had to lie about for a long time and the resulting embolisms have had long lasting ramifications. Good luck with your...

    10 things I have learned as a 49 year old after a week of owning an e-mtb

    15. Ebike is a viable mode of transport. Locally quicker than the car and much cheaper. Helps justify the cost a bit too. Many little chores and missions can be accomplished pleasurably.

    Losing fitness on the e-mtb, my thoughts fwiw.

    I am one of the health impaired ebikers I guess. Years of inactivity after injury and surgeries left me half dead in condition and very restricted in terms of possible fitness activities. I have been riding an ebike for about half a year now, in that time I’ve lost a stone plus, restored my...

    I was aware of ebike hate / jealousy but I thought opinions were changing

    Thanks very much, that’s a better idea than mine.... I thought mace, but someone said I’d be in more trouble than the thief in that scenario!

    I was aware of ebike hate / jealousy but I thought opinions were changing

    I ride a popular cycle route in our town every day. I would stop short of saying I’ve encountered hate as such. However I am left in no doubt I’m not popular. Roadies are by far worse, almost hostile. Refusing to acknowledge a good morning or even a nod. Occasionally they will overtake, often I...

    Rohloff hub

    Thankyou very much for the kind replies and detailed info. Slightly more complicated than I imagined but nothing seems insurmountable. I imagine the bill might be, but in for a penny, in for a pound eh. Thanks again

    Rohloff hub

    Hi, was informed today that I need another driveline refresh. Chain and cassette. I always feel compelled(fussy) to fit Oe parts. Quote is hundreds and after briefly considering cheaper/heavier parts I decided a Rohloff is the way forward. I have covered over 2k miles in 6 months. Mostly...

    How many motors have you blown? 2019 levo only

    I’m on my second motor in 2018 S-Works, new in April 19. Third battery too. First motor lasted 1k and the belt snapped. I feel like my current one has issues as the motor clicks when cold. Sounds like an issue with sprags in the clutch. Good motor in terms of power and quiet operation. My vast...
