    Levo / Kenevo car charger (BMW Levo)

    Im an electrical engineer and can assure you this is a load of rubbish. The chargers (basically a rectifier) like most things have an AC input operation range - it doesn’t really care where it gets its voltage from it will continue to give a consistent DC output voltage to charge your battery...

    Schwalbe Eddy Current

    Fitted the MM up front and EC on the rear. The EC was quite tough to initally mount (could have done with a few more hours in the warm house) but it soon seated. I used airshot to inflate and the new muc off tyre sealant, hopefully they stay sealed as im riding tomorrow! Used r2-bike.com -...

    Protective tape

    After messing with various bits of helitape over the years, i dropped my new Levo off at Invsiframe this morning and they did the frame, forks and cranks for a very reasonable price. The quality difference is night and day compared to when i’ve had a go [emoji23]

    Post your modded Levo’s!

    Unanswered Anyone suggest roof carriers

    Tried the Thule Thruride out on my regular mtb earlier, seems really well made, easy to handle bike up and i think its safer for the bike to travel like this due to lower sense of gravity. Bike felt rock solid when clamped on. Will report back when i try the levo out on it.

    Unanswered Anyone suggest roof carriers

    Ive just bought a Thule thruride 565 however I’m yet to test it. But i read on a german forum a guy has mounted his Levo on it and travelled in excess of 3000 miles without an issue. It clamps the front thru axel and rear wheel. The weight limit is 17kg on the carrier but i figured without the...

    Body armour?

    I can recommend the 661 and Fox stuff. I usually wear a backpack with a back protector so no need to buy armour with it on.

    Would you buy another Levo?

    Would you buy another Levo?

    Levo Comp Carbon, the comp would have done but i love the look of the Red and no welds on the frame :-)

    Would you buy another Levo?

    None of what ive seen on here has put me off. Its like any product, consumers tend to create reviews based on things going wrong. How many have Specialized sold vs how many people reporting problems. I collect mine Sunday and cannot wait!!

    Charger temp

    Im an electrical engineer and would say this is normal, the charger is converting 240V AC to 48V DC and charging a battery of >500Wh. All chargers in general get warm, the heat loss is the result of the step down in power from mains.

    Tempted by a Levo Expert but I am struggling to justify it!

    Im 26 with good knees and fitness, and ive somehow justified a carbon comp! Go for it. You cant take money with you.

    2019 Turbo Levo Sizing

    Thanks, same as me! I think the medium may be small then. I want to use the bike to cover some ground as well as a play / trail centre. I may change my order to large after reading this!
