    Is Orbea Rise M up to the task?

    Was able to ride an ORBEA Rise M10 last weekend and it is a very nice e-bike, the light weight makes it feel like a regular mtn bike. Would I switch from my Kenevo Expert? NO, for the following reasons: 1. Lack of power. I am not a light rider, 6'4" 220 lbs, so the extra power of the Kenevo is...

    Levo SL Gen 1 What is the best tire upgrade for the SL in your experience and why?

    Destroyed two Butcher Grid tires on the rear of my Kenevo before switching to the Diamond Back. The Diamond Back has a much more robust casing and haven't had any issues with it.

    For you Kenevo fans.

    Yikes! At 220 lbs with gear I better be looking at this. Probably worth pulling it apart and checking for cracks. Hmmm?

    Intermittent Walk Assist on Levo / Kenevo

    Glad to see I'm not the only who has had the walk assist not disengage when releasing the button.....first time it happen I thought WTF......there I was trying to climb up a STEEP rock face I could not ride with rear wheel spinning out of control. Turning off the battery and restarting seems to...

    Converting a FullSus MTB to an E-MTB... can you do it with the big brand motors?

    Put a Bafang BBSHD on a KHS 1000 Fat Bike and it turned out very well, use it for urban commuting and riding in the snow. The Bafang mid drive kits will work well for you but your biggest challenge with a full suspension bike is where to put the battery. Have fun!

    Ordered a new e-bike. It's not an emtb though.

    Very nice ebike..........can the motor be programed by the user?

    Anyone else get called a cheat??

    Yes, the unenlightened will occasionally blurt out the "cheating" comment and I just ignore them or smile and say "have a nice ride'. They are truly not worth engaging.

    Indecision is killing me!!

    Get the Kenevo! Sounds like you may be downhill orientated and the Kenevo has the correct geometry and is very capable. But there is not a bad choice either way.

    Creaking....yes my kenevo started creaking and it turned out to be the frame to seat post connection needed to be greased. Now when the creak comes back a quick removal of the seat post to clean and regrease solves the problem. Did the same on my manual carbon StumpJumper and the frame quieted down.

    Kenevo Gen1 Official 2018/2019 Kenevo thread

    At 6'4" 210 lbs and a 36" inseam the Kenevo XL fits me perfectly. Yes the XL Kenevo is a very big bike and I love it! So capable in all conditions, uphill, downhill, trails, and general riding I don't see trading this bike off anytime soon. My poor Stumpjumper is gathering dust.

    For you Kenevo fans.

    Something was not right in the set up of the shock, guessing the the spring tension or spring retainer was improperly set allowing a misalignment with no load on the spring so that when the hit impact occurred the slight misalignment caused the mess in the picture. Just guessing.

    Levo charges only to 96%

    If your LBS won't help you, you should contact Specialized directly! Specialized is very customer oriented and should be able to resolve your issue.

    Hi , is there a new Kenevo coming out ?

    Believe the only difference between the 2018 Kenevo the 2019 Kenevo is the paint scheme. The Kenevo is a great bike, very happy to have chosen the Kenevo over the Levo. The 180mm suspension and the 65 degree head angle suit my riding very well.
