Welcome to the forum and I hope you have a lot of fun on your new bike! 😃

This was covered in the other threads but they're so fast moving the points can get buried quickly! Rob covers it and linked back to comments he'd made about Avinox in the past. There's no shortage of power once youre going but the starting input can be a bit off. The Orbea tune makes for a more...

Hi there! I've got a 2019 Levo I picked up in 2023. Aside from geometry perhaps I reckon that if I bought it in 2026 not having ridden an eBike before I'd still be impressed. Would I like to get an Amflow PR, yep! Will I be really gutted if they all sell out, probably not! If you're just...

Haibike Adventr might do. They have it down as a "trekking bike" though. Edit: DAMMIT, TOO SLOW!!! 🐌

It's interesting that after all the hassle that went into designing and making the Blackbird (Read Ben Rich's book, it's brilliant) that they didnt use purified water at the outset. The first batch of Packard built Merlins for the Mustang P-51 kept failing and it took visiting Rolls Royce...

Thankfully in the UK the opposite applies, I'm much happier buying through credit, regardless of whether I have the cash or not as any delays become the banks problem and they have to look out for me.

Echoing the above, full power, full sus! Aside from upkeep, the suspension does away with the negatives of full suspension. I have a gen2 levo and a £10 tow rope from Amazon that takes the sting out of any long climbs when I'm out with my daughter. With the Amflow PR Carbon coming out ~4k I...

Sounds like a great adventure! I swear by Rapha Brevet shorts. Not cheap but I wore them for the Tour Divide and averaged a century 24 days in a row... I've got one of the £10 tow ropes from amazon. No issues towing either my daughter or missus in Wales when I'm on the Levo and they're on...

Looks like the OP has a Levo SL. I think the biggest they'll reliably take is a 34t. There are generic rings on ebay that might be worth trying before splashing out on a 'nice' one.

The base Levo had already dropped from £5299 to £4799 but I could see a further cut now the Amflow PR is out for preorders.

Really useful comparison, cheers! 😀

I wonder if anyone in the authorities that govern trails would even notice if youtubers didn't chase the clicks with doom and gloom laden videos and thumbnail images? Also, risking regret by entering the "is Europe a region" debate, I'd say that by the dictionary definition of course it is but...

Rock Shox Ario flashbacks?! 😁

Superman!

The new ones certainly piggy back the built in battery and the 600wh as the RE. Looks a bit jerry rigged but if youre wanting to do epic rides it's a fair trade off for having 1400wh on board!
