    Comment by 'GDAS' in article 'Yamaha MORO-07 introduction & test ride'

    to describe the MORO-07 with it's 500Wh battery and its 27+ wheels as "a great start" (see reviewer's conclusion) just seems bizarre to me. I'm pleased to hear about the improvements to the Yamaha serviceable motor.

    Hello... just joined and thinking about my first EMTB

    I ride in Surrey with a bunch of fellow retirees all on Levos, we've generally been riding them three times a week for the last three years. From memory three of us (including me) have had motor failures on a ride, luckily these were local rather than 'away' rides, replacement motors at...

    Comment by 'GDAS' in article 'Canyon Strive:ON - An aggressive, enduro EMTB with outstanding performance'

    Brose is generally recognised as being one of the quieter motors. Bosch has more motor whine under load, and also a rattle when coasting. How did you find it compared from the point of view of assistance? Like you I've been thinking of transferring from Brose (4 years Levo) to Bosch but have...

    What EMTB would you get for 5k?

    have you checked out Freeborn in Horsham? They're big into Cube ebikes and have an excellent reputation.

    Motorcycle stand style for eMTB

    FJM Mk 2 Home | FJM Custom bike stands UK-based but they ship to the US, might be expensive though. It's not clear from the photos on the website, but you can attach the stand to the bottom bracket in its folded position, with the bike entirely on the ground, then push the bike forwards and...

    Strava Segments / How to copy non ebike segments?

    are you sure it's not creating some segments up to the max number that Strava allows per day (10?) and then refusing to create any more (until you run the script again later)?

    Kenevo Gen1 29er Front and Rear Kenevo

    Rob, I seem to recall that a couple of years ago you switched from a Gen 2 XL Levo (480 reach) to a Gen2 Kenevo in S5 (520 reach) and said "this is the first bike I've had that really fits me". So I was a bit surprised when you chose L rather than XL for the Rail. Are you seeing some rewards...

    Ebike Garmin apps ~ UPDATE: new multi battery support

    Yes, I went out today for first ride after updating motor & display firmware and realised that the ebike nerd screen on my Garmin Forerunner watch wasn't picking up the Eco/Trail/Turbo mode and more importantly the remaining battery percentage. I'm hoping @JanCapek can suggest what needs to be...

    Levo Gen 2 Turbo Levo 2020 Shock Mount screw

    I don't think you can buy that bolt alone, you have to buy the rear shock fitting kit, Spesh part number S184200068. I bought one recently from Berkshire Bikes (you have to ring them to order) for £13 plus postage, or you might find some online such as this Specialized SUB MY19 Stumpjumper FSR...

    Levo Gen 2 Turbo Levo 2020 Shock Mount screw

    if the bolt were seized in the flange, then presumably it wouldn't turn. But since it's turning anti-clockwise and the flange is moving outwards with the bolt head, I'm wondering if some sort of groove has been created in the bolt such that it's catching on the edge of the hole. Seems very...

    Levo Gen 2 Turbo Levo 2020 Shock Mount screw

    that sounds as though the shock bushing has seized onto the bolt and is therefore moving in the same direction as the bolt head, as you unscrew it, thus the flange is moving. Maybe lay the bike on its side (or upside down?) and spray some penetrating oil where the bolt goes into the bushing.

    Levo Gen 2 Idle off time

    Hi, sorry for resurrecting an old post but I have exactly the same issue: stop for coffee, motor switches off after a while but Bolt stays on, turn motor back on but doesn't reconnect to Bolt (except on the rare occasion like you say, without any detectable pattern). What's also quite annoying...

    Winter riding kit - stuff to keep you warm and dry

    when it comes to long trousers/pants for the trail, how are tall slim people supposed to get a pair which reach all the way to the tops of their shoes? As far as I can see, nobody makes multiple leg lengths in the way that makers of jeans do (Short/Regular/Long). Although I suspect the major...

    A load of bolony?

    I too was frustrated by being unable to find a SRAM PG1130 11-42 so I bought the Bolany one for £29.52 from ebay 8/9/10/11S MTB Bike Cassette11-40/42/46/50T Sprocket Derailleur Fit Shimano/SRAM | eBay and it seems fine, maybe doesn't change gear quite as precisely as the SRAM but does a very...

    Price of bikes - some thoughts....

    Even before e-bikes, you could spend "motorbike money" on a premium mountain bike, such as Santa Cruz, Yeti etc. If I want to order a premium car, there will be a huge list of options to choose from. If I want to order a premium e-bike, there won't be a huge list of options, but instead there...

    Other Specialized UK Touch-up paint

    in an effort to get the 'overly grey' Storm Grey to match my bike, I bought some RAL5024 Pastel Blue (which is overly blue) and mixed the two to get a closer match. But the thought "why am I doing this? Life's too short!" did cross my mind ?
