Levo Gen 2 Turbo Levo walk mode

[Grannyjones]

Currently in walk mode I have to keep my finger on a little button all the time for it to activate.

Is it possible to change settings somewhere so that walk mode can be set by only having to press the button once to activate it then press it again to deactivate it ?

This would make it far more comfortable than having to hold the little buttom constantly while already dealing with a difficult hike

No. This would make walk mode dangerous.

Do any other E Bikes have a press once to activate and press once to deactivate walk mode ? Or are they all designed like this where you have to keep your finger on a little buttom all the time

Yes, they are all designed like this. Why? Reread my previous post.
Same way you have to press brake pedal with any car with automatic transmission only to start the engine ... little safety features to prevent majority of users do stupid/dangerous things ...

Imagine if you lost your grip on the bars. The bike falls over with the rear wheel powered. You have to get to the switch (on an unridably steep climb) without standing the bike up on the tires. Fun!

Edit to say that, of course, the bike fell over on the brake disk side.

I was actually surprised how brisk walk mode is.

I have the button control firm but movable on the bars, then just twist it slightly upwards to make it easier to press when having to use walk mode.
