    Shimano Battery "Recovery"

    Don't know if anyone else has picked up on this, but almost certainly someone has. I'm pretty anal about checking my battery level with ST Unlocker and noticed something curious.A couple of times I checked my battery level about 20 minutes after a ride, and then checked it again a day or more...

    ep8 motor, who's going to be first to retrofit?

    As far as I know no motor manufacturer has released any hard numbers about failure rates, so making assumptions based on numbers in this forum is really just guesswork. I would _guess_ that more bikes shipped with Shimano motors in the last year or so because so many companies use them. Most of...

    Buy a 540w battery for spare battery or wait for 700w out?!

    I outweigh you (not bragging) and get twice the range you do, or more, riding in trail or tuned-up eco mode.

    ep8 motor, who's going to be first to retrofit?

    I think EMBN said they would address that question “later”, as well.

    Levo Gen 2 broken spoke at 1080 miles

    I see it differently for a brand new bike. I wouldn't be surprised if a shop would take care of that for nothing. As for normal charges for replacing a spoke and truing a wheel... I wouldn't be surprised to feel some sticker shock, especially if running tubeless. It seems everyone has an...

    Levo Gen 2 broken spoke at 1080 miles

    This post is a textbook argument for letting the shops do it with their tools and expertise.

    Buy a 540w battery for spare battery or wait for 700w out?!

    25K per ride? Turbo hillclimbing with a 50 kg backpack?

    Levo Gen 2 broken spoke at 1080 miles

    It’s a pretty rare thing, I don’t think I’ve broken one in about 20 years. Doesn’t seem worth the effort to stock up on supplies and learn how to do, though I’m sure some will beg to differ. I’d just let the shop handle it.

    Levo Gen 2 broken spoke at 1080 miles

    Spokes break occasionally. No, warranty won't cover it.

    Your E-Bike, what’s it’s lifespan?

    I can't see my bike every becoming "obsolete" as long as parts are still available for it.

    Who is riding with 2 battery ?

    Apparently Trek Rail owners are most likely to carry a second battery so they can replace the one that falls out.

    Your E-Bike, what’s it’s lifespan?

    Hoping for at least 5 years. Obviously there probably be some expensive maintenance items along the way.

    Levo Gen 2 Chain cleaning, fastest procedure

    I don't know that a motor error hurts the motor. Ask Spec. Personally I don't clean my chain that often, but I do like the Park chain cleaner. I use Simple Green with some water.

    Lots of subscribers, but not a lot of views. Most of their recent videos have less than 20,000 views and more popular ones maybe 50,000. Seth puts out a video and it goes into the hundreds of thousands immediately. Really atrocious numbers given the production costs. Wonder if their sponsors are...

    Yes, they're definitely having trouble coming up with new material. I skipped right over the "Which is faster, bikes or scooters?" vid.
