@Jessmolly007 I have sent you a private message. (Look for the envelope at the top of the page on the right).

Easily done to scare ourselves silly with our expensive purchase. A few weeks after I bought my first emtb (Focus Jam2), it suddenly became really hard to pedal, with heavy vibration. If I put some effort in it would go. So I stopped and walked the bike back to the car. I dropped it off at the...

See Husky430's post on "chain ring line". If you have a 12-speed it will, be a 52mm chainline.

Doesn't do Facebook! Sounds like my kind of guy. :)

@Rolo Contact @Porcupine Slim he has experience of riding mtbs in the Everglades. From the sound of it he would not recommend any mtb, let alone an emtb. Ebikes and water do not mix. see the thread on Levos breaking down...

The Red, Blue and Green trails have all mostly dried out and are running well. Because they are maintained by the Forestry Commission, the numerous and widespread fallen trees have all been cleared. The numerous off-piste trails are also dry and running well, but are still troubled by some...

Welcome to the forum. :)

You can always try it and let us all know. But I suspect that you are setting yourself up for some dodgy shifting.

What is the background to your decision to make such large changes to what is a fantastic bike? Or is it not actually that fantastic? :unsure:

We have taken over 50 years to get used to each other and stopped having problems more than 30 years ago. We each have a lot that we like about each other. We take pleasure in the successes and triumphs that the other has as an individual, even if we fail to understand what they hell they get...

It is a thread like this that brings it home what problems the Levo has and has had ever since launch. But the Levo fanboys won't hear of any criticism. Instead, they bang on about the amazing warranty. They say that they have had four motors and only had four days without a bike. I agree, a...
