    Is Bosch the most reliable motor?

    As the title says, everyone seems to say Bosch is the noisiest motor. But is it also the most reliable? Having perused these forums, it seems people have had problems with their Brose, Shimano, Yamaha/Giant motors. I don't think I have come across posts where people say they had to replace...

    Motor drag? What's all the fuss?

    I am constantly hearing about "Motor drag" and how so many people put so much emphasis on this when selecting their e-bikes. I have been riding e-Mountain bikes for 2 years now. I started with the Focus Jam 2 with Shimano motor for 1 year, and then changed to a Cube 160 Race with Bosch motor...

    2017 Levo FSR jangling noise from back of bike at speed

    I have a 2017 Levo FSR purchased 4 months ago, which has had an irritating noise since new. Above about 15mph, a jangling noise is evident from the rear of the bike. At first I thought it was from the motor, but am now reasonably certain it is from something striking the brake rotor. The black...

    Hacking

    It's funny but the amount of threads I read on hacking/derestricting eMTB to go faster (I have no interest in doing this aside from the legal issues, my battery has enough to cope with) I hardly ever see anyone post warning of invalidating the warranty. Who would spend that kind of money on a...

    Riding speed

    Do you guys actively aim to sit at a certain speed? I find that on flat the momentum and correct gear allow for fairly comfortable consistent 17mph. When I'm at 17mph what is the motor doing? Also do you use a cadence meter and find it helpful to get the most out of your battery/speed combo?

    BLEvo Z-Works App

    Hi, I'd like to hear your thoughts on the BLEvo Z-Works application. I bought it yesterday night but I did not the have time to try it yet. Better battery usage and smoother power delivery are the two things I hope I'll get with the app. Did you try it? What features do you use? Does the app...
