Levo Gen 3 Levo Gen 4 2023/4/5/6 Rumours...

[JetSetDemo]

I'm going to put this in here even though it's completely off topic ...

You can either watch it if you consider it an alternative or not watch it until we have a Gen 4 Levo Video

Nice photoshop @Zimmerframe we all know you can’t fit the Bosch motor and a 800wh battery in to a VPP frame……err or is this the new new Vala

I did contemplate doing a photoshop Gen4 Rob video thumbnail just to upset everyone

The Gen4 goes one up on VPP anyway .. It's a complete VMB (Virtual mountain bike)

Agreed, to "shock" the industry at this time you will need to introduce something truly different and I don't see something like that coming in the near future.

From what I can see (THE SHOCK) that’s been done unless it’s a battery that runs for 200km on a frame that’s 16kgs with a integrated belt and gear drive, with a 110 watt motor , also charges to 80 % in 20 minutes , with a future proof Tradeinn value ( and elephants can fly)

frame that’s 16kgs

I hate those helium filled frames, they get all unpredictable when you Whip ...

How about a mass produced MGU with belt drive high power levo. Presumably belt can take more abuse than chains, and more power can surely only make that situation worse. It would also open up riding in worse conditions more often as cleaning the cassette/chain etc is a real pain currently, much less with belt.

I realise there are already options out there but they aren't cheap.

I got a chance to take a Rapcon for a spin, the MGU was loud as hell and the screen that it uses was hideous. I’m sure those are things that Pinion will improve as newer versions come out but I couldn’t live with the current version as it is.

I’m waiting for someone to build a bike around the new MGU from Intradrive. According to the owner it’s a lot quieter and lighter than Pinions version but nobody is using it yet.
