Yeh u tell emMy 2021 comp has gained weight so what ? it’s got a motor it is feather weight compared to my dirt bike that weights 225 lbs save your money and just ride
I ride Galbriath, Anacortes, Mt Vernon. Park manager in Anacortes said I wasn't legal. When I asked what he was going to do about it he said tell me not to ride. I can live with that. Ride baby Ride.Yes, you definitely can use the bike without the battery. The 504MW battery in the 2018 weighs about 3KG.
On a side note: what a stupid law in Washington! Hopefully this changes soon. eBikes create no more damage to trails than non eBikes. Some argue they cause LESS damage.
Personally, I would still ride with the battery. I hate stupid rules.

Hey did you run into any trouble putting on that rear 29er? How tight is the figment? Pictures would be great. Thanks!I converted my 2020 s4 kenevo expert to a full 29er and the bike is a beast. Couldn’t be happier with the performance. With 29” specialized carbon wheels, butcher gravity tires, carbon bars and magura mt7 brakes the bike weighs in a 52lbs / 23.6 kg. Shocking thing to me is that it only weighs 1.1 lbs / .5kg more than my 2022 s5 s-works levo. Both bikes have the same specialized butcher gravity 2.6 tires.
No issues with the 29” rear wheel w/ 2.6 tire. It has the same clearance as my 2019 levo. Will take pics.Hey did you run into any trouble putting on that rear 29er? How tight is the figment? Pictures would be great. Thanks!
only a super-heavy 2020 Kenevo here, but even if I went weight weenie on it, the brose to me has significant drag, so much so that at any weight it would be a significant portion of pedal effort
That aint good.only a super-heavy 2020 Kenevo here, but even if I went weight weenie on it, the brose to me has significant drag, so much so that at any weight it would be a significant portion of pedal effort

I ride mine all the time with battery off and with no battery. Rides fine.
Good enough that I gave away my enduro bike. Have 2 bikes now. The Levo and a DH race single speed. So the Levo rides sans battery anywhere ebikes are not allowed, lift parks, when I ride with a group who do not have ebikes. But the the #1 reason to turn the battery off is to prove to your buds that it ain't the "e" bike making you faster than them. LOLYep. And I guarantee you are spending a not-insignificant portion of your effort driving the motor. Like riding the bike with 5 psi taken out of the tires. It rides fine. No, really.
For sure. If you take the battery out you will hit the plug with your cranks and break it off. You have to take that plastic cover off the battery (I have a spare) and put it on. I have a carbon so it would get crack the downtube opening for sure.Don't get me wrong, I hear you loud and clear. I would just rather see a non-e conversion BB housing to let it freewheel cleanly.
But since you do what I wanted to do originally before finding out the motor saps effort, Have you ever smashed the downtube on something? Seems like the battery opening is protected simply by the battery filling the tube and the battery cover over the opening.
I have visions of having on off or smashing down on a log or rock and pinching the downtube just a little bit..... Just enough that the battery doesn't go in anymore.
You ever think about that issue, or take precautions for it?
