Hi guys, my apologies for my bad english... I will try to be clear as much as I can.
I'm an emtbiker like you, living in Lombardy, Italy, one of the places in the world where the virus is hitting harder.
Yesterday I've read all your posts, and I decided to join the discussion, just to let you...
Hi everybody,
I connected my Turbo Levo 2018 to a Garmin Esge 1030 as a Power Meter, and it works flawlessy.
Just wondering what is the meaning of the power value displayed on the Edge: is it the power delivered by the motor? Or is it the power delivered by the biker? :unsure:
I use a Thule XT and I love it, I set it up in one minute, it carries three bikes so I can travel with my friends or family with just one car.
Moreover, mud and dirt stays outside and I can wash the bikes at the carwash on the way back, without unload em! :cool:
Really weird.
On my Levo 2018 always had 27.5” wheels, and MC showed a wheel circumference of 2255 mm.
As you know, in MC 2.0 this parameter is not editable, only Specialized dealers can do that.
This week I switched to a 29” wheelset. I noticed that my Edge 1030 was showing a different speed...
Same for me: on a 2018 Levo, 10% support and 20% PP is the setting I use to hang around with my friends with analog bikes, and follow their pace with (more or less) the same effort.
At the end I ordered a Wippermann Connex 11SE for my Levo.
Installed today with care and following the producer instructions for the missing link.
The cassette is a Sram XG-1150 10-42 and the chainring is the stock one that came with my Levo. Both almost new and in perfect conditions.
Drivetrain...
I live in northern Italy, in a land with very steep climbs, mainly through forests. Really hard to ride.
Eco 10/100 is the setting that I use for my rides with friends with analog bikes, as long as we want to stay together and maintain the same pace.
In my opinion, assistance at 10% just...
I just created an Excel file that shows the rapport between:
Rider power output
Assistance Level
Peak Power
This has been created for the Brose Motor of the Turbo Levo 2018 (assistance factor 3.2 and maximum power output 700w), but could be adapted to other motors as long as you know their...
In my opinion, the completely customizable setup of the Levo motor leaves nothing to be desired.
As long as your age and your fitness level change year by year, the settings that are good for you today, could not be good tomorrow.
The first number is related to the assistance level, that increases the power delivered by the rider by a factor of 3.2x at 100%
So, if you deliver 100 watts with your legs, at 100% assistance the motor will deliver 320 additional watts, 420 watts in total.
if you deliver 100 watts with your...
I’m running my turbo levo with high roller II, 29 front and 27.5 back. Both 2.5
Just wondering if a narrower tyre at the front (2.3) leaving 2.5 back could be better or not...
Totally agree with you, but it seems that the chain is one of the components really suffering from the high torque loads of ebikes.
As I said in other posts, my chain seems weared out after few kilometers, and this never happened to me in my analog bikes (both road and mtb).
My worries are not...
Interesting wearing test

Anyone heard about Wippermann Connex chains?
Just having a look at their website: seems that they produce super high quality (and super high costly) stainless steel chains.
They also have a specific version for ebikes that should be a really strong workhorse.
Maybe I will give it a try.
