If I understand correctly, the power is reduced (at least on the LEVO SL) as soon as the battery reaches the 20% mark, regardless of whether it's the internal battery or the RE.
This is a shame, from what i am told the new bike has been ready for same time like Q3 last year, but they are concerned that dealers still have a lot of stock of the current range to move. Waiting this long is a mistake IMO.
Simple, they’re a US based company. They can take a massive loss on their leftover inventory, claim those losses on their taxes and get back 95% of the money. The US tax code is extremely generous to businesses if you have a good accountant, I’m sure Spesh has a decent one.
Lower the prices. The bike industry's lack of will to adapt to the current market is already putting companies out of business. The average person is facing a massive cost of living increase over the last 2-3 years meanwhile manufactures have price insane jumps every year. $18k for a new S works Levo? Are they nuts? At that price a comp spec is gonna be near $10K. They have left reality.
That's only $162.162162162162 recuring per nm !
The SLs were a hard sell here in Uk and were discounted from the off, the SPZ store i use said that they were a pointless bike, have to agree. I had a go on one thought it was rubbish the motor was so loud, and the power was just pointless. Dont think they are holding back for SLs, still a good few few S works Levos around that have been selling well at discounted prices.
Is that the 150wh battery?
tbh i dont need more power , id buy a motor bike if that was the case ,more range would be my priority
Sadly, it’s not about what you want.
just expressing an opinion , and btw imho i dont think that it will , most of the people that express an interest in buying an E bike that i talk to dont even mention power , all they are interested in is , how far and how long , i think that range is far more imprtant to people than power , unless you are Jeremy clarkson
That's what I do most of the time ... my Peak Power is usually set to 85% as I value range over power.
I’m with you on this… my current Levo I rarely leave eco mode as I do big rides.oopps sorry , master of marketing , didnt know i was on the apprentice
The power is reduced at a low charge at all systems to protect the cells that are at a low voltage at this point, I would be suspicious of a system that does not do this.
It's optional as far as I know, and a range extender on it's own is really weak to consistently power a FF ebike. Probably the name 》range extender 《 says that it's not meant for trail riding, but to extend range, so more for the long days in the wilderness, at the end it's personal choice...
Broke the thread a bit with thisback to the Levo shall we
Any leaks in sight
...so, I don't think you've quite grasped the ‘eMTB concept’ yet. If your idea is to get as much battery capacity back home as possible and engine power doesn't matter, then that's a nice toy for you. But if you take the approach that the engine power represents the technical limit of what can be achieved uphill, then your statement that ‘you don't need more powerful engines’ is incomprehensible.
you're right!
1st, it's not an engine; it's a motor.
