I should have put my weight in there, 100 kg to grind up the hills and a bit of luggage on that trip as it was an all dayer and in an area likely to have heavy rain any time of the year. I was happy with the way the bike performed.
I have had my XL Expert for about 2 years and just did my longest ride on it. Using Smart Control I entered the distance of 135 km and 700 meters of ascent and to finish with 10% battery remaining. The temperature range was 7 deg C to about 15. Assistance offered initially was 15% which was ok...
Yes that bloody Covid app caused me trouble today in New Zealand. All bike software was up to date. Then I noticed an update on MC for the accessory display TCD (the cycle computer). You beauty I thought as occasionally it would do weird stuff. My 2020 bike and display were purchased in August...
Agreed re build date interpretation. My 2020 Expert was built 17 May 2019 (decal on frame), purchased 30 August 2019, original motor replaced at 485 km for what seemed to me to be the one way bearing on the cranks getting noisy when pedalling backwards. The new motor fitted has a serial number...
My Levo Expert often sports a Revelate Gas Tank and Jerry Can. Sometimes I fit a Thule Pack and Pedal Rack to the rear. There is just enough tyre clearance with the standard 2.6 tyre. It is a bit fiddly to fit and I pack one side up with a couple of strips of 5mm thick rubber to keep it...
Did you ever sort this? My TCD occasionally goes nuts and the trip meter starts to count about 10 times too fast part way into a ride. The other information is unaffected, the odometer stays accurate.
I have had something weird happen with my trip distance a few times. Not sure what the trigger is or if there is one. It sometimes starts to run very fast, maybe at 10 x normal. I always zero it at the start of a ride, it is ok for a while and then occasionally goes weird. It may be on longer...
2020 Levo Expert XL, recently fitted Cush Core to both wheels with standard tires. I watched the videos and read the instructions and they fitted up pretty good. I am happy with the results so far. I am now at 19 PSI front and rear and will experiment a bit more. I weigh 95 kg on a good day so...
I found that the 6 bits of information shown in the "Stats" screen of MC are able to be changed. I am not sure if this is well known or not so thought I would write about it.
Press and hold on one of the 6 parameters and a list of alternatives is displayed. I found the rider power and motor...
Your height and inseam are pretty much the same as mine. You have 5 years on me and I guess you want to be a bit more upright when seated like me. I rode L and XL back to back at the local shop.
The shop guy and me both thought the XL fitted me better. I got one and find it very comfortable...
61 and started riding a MTB 21 years ago, the group I rode with then flirted with road cycling as well for a few years and we had a lot of fun. None of those guys ride now but I am still going. I love the hills around Christchurch and the descents. Generally I only do one summit a ride.
A...
Hey Nathan, the ride started south of Timaru and went through Cave to Raincliff camp, about 98 km.
The second day was a big loop through Fairlie back to Raincliff, about 87 km.
The third day was back to the start via Pleasant Point, about 57 km. The bike did it easy being charged each night...
The charger is reasonably compact at 7 x 3 x 1.5 inches but weighs 882 grams. Sorry about the inches and grams anomaly. The weight includes the cables one of which is detachable. The output is 4 amps according to the manual.
Flat to full is apparently 5 1/4 hours for my 700 watt battery but I...
