..transformed my biking........chose the Jam2 over Levo. For its display ,its weight (ie less)and the Shemano motor which is excellent..Hi Jamied, how far have gone so far and what mode do you ride in? Also what sort of terrain do u ride mostly and which spec did u get? I think we can only get the lower spec one in Australia. I’m in Brisbane and it’s mostly XC here but I am wanting to search out some jumps. I love the look of the Sam2 but I also plan on riding my EMTB mostly in turbo/boost mode. Also I read the spec isn’t the best for the money, have u had any niggles with the rear suspension or any other part of the bike??
Hi Old bean, did u mean Sam2 or Jam2? What spec level did u go with and what sort of terrain do U ride/distance. I’m mostly planning on hammering the local trails for s few hours at a time as that’s all I can get away from the family at the mo but it would be mostly in boost mode!! Would still like to cover up to 30km in a couple of hours tho!! Ahave u had any issues with the spec of the bike? We can only get the lower spec on in Australia. I don’t want to get too caught up in specs but I can’t test ride the bike in the dirt here and have to base my judgement on something!! CheersAbsolutely LOVE mine ..
I have fitted some guards (not quite sure about the looks but they work really well) changing to more swept bars for better wrist comfort and testing Fabric saddles to suit my bony bum.
Seriously pleased I bought it and cant wait to go riding ...
Have fun.
Thanks Oldbean, not sure what to do wit the derailleur, would have thought a mountain bikes design would cover for riding off road!! As for the punctures, tougher tyres, maybe down hill rated ones will work. I used to get a lot of pinch flats but that was more due to my riding style and coming up short on jumps!! There’s a new inner tube system that I want to find out more about, Vittoria Air Liner! Might be worth a look but I hear it’s not cheap, still better than fixing flats all the time!! 40 miles is a long ride on one battery, especially for a small battery, I hear of people only getting that with a 500Whr battery but that was a decent bit of climbing involved.
I have a Jam2 Carbon and probably getting a similar amount of range out of the battery.
Thanks MartinW148, Just to clarify, when you went to the bike park, you rode in trail mode the whole time and you started with 100% battery?
Hi Shane,
Not sure how they will integrate that and an electric motor... still they are cleverer people than me...
Nice, i have my eye on a lever for the dropper post and Shimano E7000 controller to clean up the handlebars, but first I need to get some kms on her first!!
.
hey Setter, nice bike. How do the 2.8” tyres go? They fit ok? Thinking about this as my first mod.
Plus the shorter cranks, I am constantly pedal striking on the climbs!!
I hade problems with pedal striking and trasht a cople of flatpedals and crankarms... Now it works good, no pedal striking.
