I was in Moab on my enduro earlier in the season and there were ebikes everywhere. Don’t know if the trails they were on were specially allowed for them or what not, but boy did I see several.
yup, the Divine SL cut to the shortest possible size worked. Just don’t slam it all the way down as it will kink the line. My local shop installed it and also said they used a thinner more flexible cable. The wife loves it!
Why would it be a serious problem, because more people want to enjoy the outdoors? Crazy that a sport got a way to greatly improve its base and outreach and there is controversy behind it. A class 1 and traditional bicycle are essentially identical with the exception of an electric motor to help...
Refreshing to know their are people in positions who see class 1 as regular bicycles and can advocate for them with facts. She was extremely well spoken, thanks for the post.
Everyone I spoke to mentioned the lack of want was specifically because the lack of power. Heck, can’t count how many locals put up ads selling theirs due to the power complaint and offering to trade their SL for a turbo model. Most people I think want an ebike to take the stress of uphills...
I thought it was wierd too, when I was in the market for my turbo levo, was on a wait list multiple shops. But every shop I went to had several SL’s sitting on the sales floor for who knows how long.
I’d say do it, the extra range is nice and let’s you feel much better on long rides. The wife and I have done multiple 50+ mile rides now and love having the extra juice to explore. I really wanted the bigger battery when I was initially looking at the bikes, but for what the comp version cost...
Ive just recently got into emtb’s after many years of dirt bike/enduro riding and regular MTB. To say that the power of the little electric motor and the heavier weight of the bike wears down the trail more is laughable and shows the lack of ones ability to think objectively. Weight is the last...
I have used this one the last couple years and it has been great for me. Get a 1/4hex to 1/4square adapter to use regular 1/4 wrench sockets. I use it on all my precision needs from my emtb to my enduro motorcycle, so far it's been superb and easy to use.
Visiting and riding some National Parks we have never been to with the wife on our ebikes. Last year we found out how nice they were to ride around on trips rather then drive everywhere, hoping we can continue getting a lot of use of our ebikes.
I have both a 700wh and 500wh for my levo, if I’m riding high elevation in the mountains, the bigger the battery the better because it wears you down a lot faster since their is less oxygen. I like to be able to use turbo if needed as much as I need with less battery anxiety. If I’m going...
In the US, I hate that some trails do ban emtb’s, the more damage doesn’t make sense to me. I can see how some of those little electric dirt bike types should be banned due to excessive speeds on trails, but class 1 pedal assist only bicycles should be allowed everywhere. Luckily the two main DH...
The 160 to 170 is a centimeter difference, from my experiences, coming off my regular bike with Fox Factory Racing 38 180mm suspension to my current turbo levo with 160mm travel, I see very little difference. From my experience with you’ll get more out of suspension setup for your riding then...
