If going eeb, it’s all about the range especially if used to pulling bigger rides on regular mtb. I had Fuel EXe and hated it for the poor range, especially in comparison to my Rail. Thought might be able to pedal Fuel EXe when battery dead like analog, but wasnt the case. I stopped riding it...

I did, only took about a week or so. Did get another ebike (Wild) so dont have to be sidelined. Since motor replacement and new harness replacement fix, bike has been great. Happy and fortunate to be on two ebikes again now since load is cut in half. I ride 4-5 days/wk, often at high loads, so...

Levo4 likely more durable structurally than the Levo3, but too soon to tell? Within two years my Levo Comp Carbon 3 was broken badly, so not strong enough for me in the end or should of unloaded it after first motor replaced. Went thru Levo4 motor under 6 weeks of use. Being replaced now...

Yep, how my rear carbon stay went on my Gen3. Not big drop at all with nice transition, but landed a little side heavy to back end and she snapped right in two. Gen4 feels stouter, possibly stronger to these kind of loads. If bottoming easy in Genie, go thicker spacer and more pressure...

They did! But +3 weeks wrestling without before finally arriving to dealer was a headache on new bike, especially since I ride about 5 days/week. Definitely stoked on the fix. Motor failure, not so much, especially on full gear, beltless driven system. Even my Levo3 motor lasted about 3,500...

Mine is S4, 54.8 lbs with SWAT bag full, 54.0 lbs with it empty. She’s bit of a pig, but doesn’t hinder the ride, if not feels more solid and stable blazing trail in comparison to my Levo3 with all the same parts and a good few pounds lighter. Levo3 maybe a bit more agile, Levo4 more stable to...

I did. Love how the bike rides, but nothing but headaches and numerous trips to the dealer with power shorts to “adjustment fix” to new battery harness nest plate to now just blew the motor last night while 10 miles deep in backcountry. Had to coast and walk out. Bike only less than 6 weeks...

Wont let me transfer post over from FB. Still there, started 6/12. About a handful or so folks at least with same issue. I just picked up my G4 from dealer after bringing it back following the battery harness adjustment “fix” the week prior. Power shorts with “no battery detected” errors in...

Yep, Bosch and possibly DJI the only reliable systems out there these days. Yeah, Shimano is junk. All my buddies had issues with theirs. Bosch/non-removeable battery the way go. Too bad only 600 on SC bikes since I am not a range extender person myself and system with cords dangling looks dicey

Eek! Yeah, these companies really should test their products better. Spesh saying they tested the Levo4 for a long time before releasing, like years is weak

Yep, new Brose motor promosing with no belts and plastic and power is great, mostly natural feeling. But if bike cant stay on during course of ride, it is no good. Never buying a sideloading/easy removeable battery again. I should of known better from all the issues I had on my Rail prior

Bike is a lemon sadly. Lots of folks having battery power shorts, including myself. Less than 2 weeks in and bike cuts out with “no battery detected” at least a couple times/ride. Have to remove, reseat battery once or twice to get power back on. Battery harness already adjusted per work...
