    Do eMTBs do enough vert (for me)?

    Add a tyre pressure gauge to your kit and you will do it, set off with 45psi in the tyres and adjust at the top. When I got one and started keeping an eye on it the increase in distance by just adding a few psi is remarkable so if your first accent is long then it will help. If you read the...

    Ebike tire showdown. Michelin E wild vs Schwalbe Eddie Current

    As a rule I don't like bling but the red rear hub matching the shock link is the ducks nuts! Matching front hub would take it to drool category.

    Why? EMTB bike stands are hard to come by!?

    I did see some odd readings today but I don't think I put in3000w or had a top speed of 182kph!

    Power smashed through the roof

    Maybe I missed it but does anyone have the output numbers for the 1.2 on the hardtail, how much power loss compared to 1.3 on 2018 Levo? thanks.

    Ebike tire showdown. Michelin E wild vs Schwalbe Eddie Current

    I need some advice on tyres, I keep losing the front end on wet roots, tyre goes sideways unless I am perpendicular to roots. 2018 Levo running original butchers. I am thinking of going to 29 x 2.6 on the front, any advice appreciated. My skills and confidence are a factor, speed helps but...

    G'day from the Australia .

    If you are heading to Maydena my brother has a couple of B&B.s. in Westerway just down the road that sleep 6 or 8. Look for Blue Wren cottage on Facebook.

    G'day from the Australia .

    Grumpy old Australians are everywhere, I am in Switzerland! For me the novelty hasn't worn off the EMTB but I have pulled my old Specialized Enduro out for a service and damn it feels different, fast and light. I have booked Livigno and Les Gets for a week each over summer so I need to get in...

    Article Here is the new 2020 Bosch motor

    I think it's a bit silly not keeping the mounts and plugs the same, ok plugs are easily changed but the amount of lost sales if it was a bolt in upgrade would be in the millions.

    Range Hacking, it's come to this.

    I think this is the way to go and you don't need body armour, bounce and roll, bounce and roll!

    E Mtb Exercise v MTB Exercise

    As an old fella myself I would agree but it depends how hard you go but that is self regulated rather than distance or terrain regulated on non-Emtb.

    Can you please bang it on the scale to give current weight with 500w battery? I am too lazy to troll through 9 pages!

    Levo - range extender or upgrade to 700 WH battery?

    But there are not a lot available for 200£ unless they are backyarder built so an eBay battery is probably not any more risky but I would say this is a bit country dependant. Here in Switzerland there are a few bricks and mortar bikeshops that clear old stock through Ricardo. 500 + 500 allows...

    Levo - range extender or upgrade to 700 WH battery?

    Out of the box thinking, is 2 x 500w an option? Okay if you are 150cms/70kg loaded it will be uncomfortable to carry but if you are 190cms/100kg it will be easier or your riding area allows you to store it and change as required. I wish I could buy a 2018 battery for the price you can find 2019...

    Cheap? 2019 500w Levo battery in Switzerland

    Same seller has 500w batteries listed on tutti. Ch and Ricardo for 450 and 500 Chuffs, they are not selling so real price must be sub 450 (300£) . So sub 20kg bike and 1000w (if riding a park) is achievable.

    Colour poll on a new Levo!

    Both look good but I have a fundamental problem with graphics on wheels, lose those stickers and then it is good to go!

    Talk some sense into me (HT vs FS)!

    Thanks they look like good options. I saw a cheap 2017 during the week and was thinking it solves my 29^ wheel issue (want to fit to 2018 Levo) and I have a spare battery. I thought they were sub 20kg so not hard to drop it kilo with stuff i have lying around. But search as i may I can't find a...
