    Solo Riding Safety device trackers a - which ones to review?

    I use the live track feature in my Wahoo Elemnt. I am extremely happy with the device, for my purposes far superior to the Garmin devices. The display is brilliant and also the integration with Komoot (which I use for discovering new routes and for navigation). You can also download the tracks...

    Solo riders word of caution

    This is exactly why I bought the Specialized Ambush helmet with Angi and recommended it to my father. Both of us do ride solo frequently. Though the system works only as long as you have mobile coverage and your phone is working. Still it adds safety and I think it makes as much sense as good...

    Get out of your comfort zone?

    Not at all, but it seems so strange to race on an EMTB. If I want to race (downhill), I would think it is even more fun to do so with a great (analog) Enduro or Downhill bike which weighs much less and is more agile. Yes, you can compete playing scrabble underwater and have a blast. But again, I...

    Ever seen a human powered car? :sneaky:

    Get out of your comfort zone?

    Why would anyone race with an EMTB? There are a lot of reasons to ride an EMTB, but I do not get it. Why not rather race with a regular MTB? It really seems strange to me. If everyone uses the same bike it comes down to who is the best rider; if you have different bikes it is a mix of best motor...

    EMTB OUTLAWED?

    I love it. There seem to be more restrictions for EMTBs than for guns :ROFLMAO: Seriously, we have issues with regular MTBs as well in Europe. And what I don't understand are people riding through woods without a real trail for their "single trail experience". You can find their rides on...

    Smart bikes are coming.

    @Rob Hancill Looking at "how well" the voice recognition in all major cars work (I rent out cars of all kind of brands for work almost every week), I am quite reluctant. And that is in a quiet environment without wind noise. It might work in a special environment like a lab or a booth at a...

    Levo 2019 - my simple way of stopping the crud getting in the motor casing

    Wow, I wonder how long the motors and cables will last with all the dirt inside. I ride my bikes normally for more than 10 years. Will that be possible with these bikes, and how much additional costs will there be fixing the issues over time? It seems that soon with e-bikes people will also...

    Spare batteries - third party battery - where to buy (and how long will they be available)

    Are there third party batteries available for the Levo? Does anyone have a good source besides the local dealers. And did Specialized ever communicate how many years the batteries (and engines by the way) will be available as spare parts? Looking at my consumer electronics products, in most...

    2019 Turbo Levo Owners Thread

    I could imagine the 2019 Levos will be sold at a significant discount at the end of the season. A lot of people willing to pay a premium for Specialized will not accept such a design failure.

    2019 Turbo Levo Owners Thread

    I am really surprised how that could happen. They have a tremendous engineering team and one would expect them to both do computer simulations and real world tests with pre-series products. Specialized sells premium products at premium prices. And their main edge are the frames (because most...

    The Official BLEvo Thread

    Hi Paolo, the heartrate feature is unique. Since I am already >40 and not as in good shape (due to work and family) as in early days I do not want to go the heart rate to high. I did a lot of sports (white water canoying, swimming & MTB) until my late twentys and I still want to push too hard...

    The Official BLEvo Thread

    @PaoloBLEvo Thanks a lot for the Blevo Software. The features of your software were for me an essential point in my decision to buy a Specialized Levo. And because there still seem some limitations I went for the 2018 model
