    Anyone using a regular 1Up rack with an ebike?

    Re-checked everything and it's all fine. Those are 10.9 grade bolts (M18, I think) with 100 lb/ft torque. In one of them, the locking nut is clearly not up to the torque (a bit "smashed"). I'll replace it with a new one and re-torque that bolt.

    Anyone using a regular 1Up rack with an ebike?

    I think you're correct here. I was suspicious of the hitch itself, since steel has way more flex than the massive aluminum hitch coupler in the rack. BTW, I have a Hidden Hitch 60958, which has a tongue weight of 200Lbs, so I should be below 50% capacity on that. This reminds me, I need to...

    Anyone using a regular 1Up rack with an ebike?

    Hey y'all I have the original (not XD) 1up rack connected to a 1 1/4” hitch (I have a small and old car which now costs less than the bike -- this is the way). I've been transporting my Turbo Levo 22 on it (53lbs) even though the rack has a single bike limit of 50lbs. I talked to the folks at...

    Riding with prescription glasses?

    LOL. I'm on the wrong side of 50 too. :) I've used multifocals (aka varifocals) for many years now, including in sunglasses. I just buy a regular frame and ask the optometrist to install prescription lenses on them. You can also buy sunglasses and replace the lenses. The problem here is that...

    Oh my bike does not have the TCU, so no micro-tune for me... :(

    Levo Gen 3 Settings to make Levo equivalent to a non e-bike.

    Yeah more modes would be convenient. I'm sure Specialized will add them eventually and force us to buy a whole new bike just for that 🤣. I'd add a "regular MTB mode" as the first level. Today I only get out of eco when there's a hill that doesn't add much or when the heart rate is climbing too...

    Oh yeah thanks. I was considering how much help 30% gives me (the default for ECO) and your settings seem spot on! I will give them a try! Now if I o only we could have more than 3 modes on the Levo... (maybe we can? I remember seeing more numeric modes somewhere.) Cheers

    Levo Gen 3 Settings to make Levo equivalent to a non e-bike.

    Hello All, I realize this must be a weird question: I'm looking for the settings that will make the effort of, say, going uphill on a 53lbs Levo equivalent to a regular 30lbs mountain bike. The default ECO is definitely easier than a regular (and lighter) MTB. Why? Some days I just prefer to...

    Hello from Northern California

    Hello all! New to the site, but not to mountain biking. Recently got a 2022 Levo which is a new experience for someone very used to "me-bikes" (i.e. bikes powered by ME! 😁) Hope to see you all around here (and in the trails in San Jose if you're in this area) Cheers
