I have a 2019 levo comp , question is what makes more sense replace the wheels
To carbon for lighter rotation weight or switching
To the 700 w battery . Looking for more range
So i can ride longer then 4 hours.
I am using blevo and tweaked the speed,
So I understand battery will not last as long
With the way I have set it up at this
Point. Thanks in advance.
Forum rocks!!

The battery - the wheels will make next to no difference - a lower rolling resistance tire may get you a slight increase in range.

i switched tires to bontrager xr2 and the bike rolled much easier, but rear traction sucked and the tread was gone in 300 miles so i put a rekon on the back, seems to be a pretty good combo for endurance rides. With 10, 20 and 30% settings and using mostly the 10 you could go pretty far on the 700w, 10k feet 60 miles

Tried the same. But the side knobs of an XR2 can't handle the extra weight of an e-Bike.
I run 27,5x2,8" Rekon now, and 29x2,6" Rekon/Ikon.
Much better. Great cornering.
Good rolling resistance
