I am stunned by the Levo SL range. I'ma big guy, about 100kg fully kitted. I charged up the internal battery and took a full range extender 'just in case' for my isolation ride on Sunday. After 38km and 580m elevation gain, I returned home with 13% of the extender left and 100% of the main...

Same here. Sounds like cables on my SL. I've given up trying to find the source, but post back if you have any luck.

I will definitely try that Mission Control check! The maths I used is based on the Specialized Rider Care maths. They did example calculations for a modern Turbo Levo, quoted as '4.1 times the power'. That maths worked out as total output being 1 part legs, 3.1 parts motor. Hence my...

Happy to be told otherwise, but I think this is how the power combines... (Yes, I made a spreadsheet. yes I can share it if you want to input your own Support and Peak values).

You had a faulty unit? That shouldn't discount the motor for everyone else.... Haven't ridden the E7000, but the question was about power. 60Nm is going to be fine for plenty of riders. I've ridden Bosch motors at 65Nm, 75Nm and 50Nm, Shimano at 70nM, Levo SL at 35Nm. All power outputs are...

The guy who's buying it wants it insured? Why? It's your responsibility until he receives it safely...

No it's fine unless your main objective is to spend a lot of time riding up crazy steep stuff you'd never usually try on a normal bike. Plenty of ebikes have 60nM of torque. Mine has only 35nM!! From what Ive seen the E7000 is a good motor, maybe even feeling a bit more 'natural' than the...

Specsh say the Levo SL motor doubles your power. So its not generating 2x your leg input power because that would triple your overall combined power. It's adding 1x your leg input, for a combined doubling of power to the drive train. Which makes sense when it can only push out a theoretical...

*sometimes* I am sure the motor does a little kick after I stop pedaling. I've felt it when I stop pedaling suddenly to cruise and I'm pretty sure it contributes to some clanky gear shifts when I reduce the pedal power then shift Not always, just sometimes. Often a few times in succession, then...

Guess that depends how much power you can put out through your legs. I mean, I run Trail at 50/100, and there's plenty of time's I'm going up a hill and cant get any more power out of the Levo by going to Turbo. So with +50% assist, I must be putting out over 150W through my legs, and the...

No play, but mine is pretty stiff to get moving (either down or up to full height). Maybe that's the trade off : Stiff or play?

I was offered two range extenders (and a cable) for free, on a SL Expert... So that's like a 9% discount.

Unfortunately any strategy that involves not catching the virus is likely to fail. Their point is that it's no good just delaying a big spike in cases, let's try to spread the cases out. Take it in turns to get ill!

Not the way I ride! If there's a shut down, I'm going to be out on the trail bumbling along in the fresh air. No harm done. Just have to skip the cafe break, probably. It's that or stay home and get some DIY done. Now that would be dangerous...

Example of why the motor doesn't matter, but the battery does: I have a Bosch Performance Line motor (not the more powerful 'CX' model you usually get on eMTBs) on a long-tail cargo bike. The bike is 27Kg. I am 100Kg fully loaded. And I've had an adult sat on the back weighing (I'll be kind)...

Personally I'm not worried about death by Corvid-19 because that's unlikely. What concerns me is the shut-down and disruption. I've already ordered extra UHT milk because if my town is locked-down for two weeks, i refuse to be at home drinking black coffee. Don't underestimate the disruption...

Or just take a 33% longer lunch break while you charge :)

200g more for each step from 2A > 4A > 6A The size of the 6A would bother me. I carry the 4A on some day/weekend rides, and it's bulky but not too bad. Wouldn't give up more space in my bag for 2A more...

I see around 15km extra range on nearly-slicks vs 'all purpose' off road tyres. That might not be significant if you're planning charging stops anyway. For me, it means I can hit TURBO for the last couple of miles rather than grind out more ECO miles!

That's a big ride! All I have to add is that I ran my old hardtail eMTB on 2.2" Conti Speedkings and that made a significant difference to the range compared with the 2.3" Nobbly Nicks. Reckon I was getting close to 100km on mostly sealed road and a bit of gravel, running a 500Wh battery and...
