Here are our "other" non-mtb ebikes. We modified the commuter oriented Vado 6 by switching to 27.5 wheels and adding a better fork, 20/20 bars, and a KS dropper post. The Vado 6 has a little stronger motor and larger battery than the Levo. Sweet on the street, passable on gravel.

mine at Artist's Palette, Death Valley Natl Park

and here's my no-assist Stumpjumper, roughly similar to my Levo in terms of geometry and travel but sans motor & battery and sans about 20 lb.

I bought it fully intending to run 26" wheels on it. partly to lower it and bring it closer to DH geometry, partly I just prefer how 26" handles.
I still have the E13 wheels. took them off after 2 weeks (rode every day to gave them a chance) and switched to the wheels that are on now (26" hope hoops - ProII/flows) and never looked back. Much prefer the bike with them.

Yes, I know you ride e-bikes (or soon will after reading EMTB Forums), but what other, non-E-bikes do you ride?

I've got a 2014 Specialized Enduro Evo Expert for non-motorized riding. I used to love that bike, but I hardly ever ride it now, ha ha. I also occasionally ride my 2006 Honda CRF511.

Hope you don't mind @Churchill. Thought this was well worth sharing to this thread

I don't think I'd bother with an eBike if I had one of those to play with. (y)

Fuel 29er

I'm a lanky streak of piss so 29ers look more normally proportioned, people don't generally notice I'm riding a 29er for a bit
