First set of photos look like La Thuile, Italy. Second set look like Austria (Saalbach maybe)...

It does 'feel' slightly more powerful in turbo mode. I usually ride the same 10 - 20 local routes from my door and have used the same tyres & pressure before and after the motor swap. Granted these factor make a difference, but not 10-15% over the same trails, conditions & bike setup.

I've not made any modifications to motor settings via the app before or after the motor swap. Always ran it on default

Had the motor replaced on my Specialized Turbo Levo Comp 2020 (after 4k miles, it just failed). The replacement (another 2.1) seems like its consuming approx. 10-15% more battery on same rides / trail conditions as previous motor. Anyone else with similar experience?

Thanks. I’ll be interested to know how your observations when you do

I mean mostly cardio-vascular fitness, leg strength, endurance and recovery time

Do you know how much fitter you are compared to when you last rode a regular bike?

Thanks for reply. Have you tried riding your normal bike recently and if so how has your fitness been compared to how to remember it or measured it?

So do I, but I'm interested in fitness. There's lots of claims that EMTBs can make or keep you fit, but I'm interested in peoples' real world and honest experiences compared with regular riding.

Does anyone have actual comparative data of regular MTB rides before and after EMTB purchase / prolonged use?

Yes, you’ve gone soft. Chill. Give it a crash or 2 and a winter, then it’ll start looking like its been used. Then you’ll relax (hopefully).

I would say give it a go. If it works, great, if not, just adapt. I’m 5.4 with a 27in inseam and ride a 2020 Levo S. I can just tip-toe on both feet when resting on the top tube. Stand-over (or lack of it) is the same with all my bikes except a 2007 14in Orange 5 which I can actually get my...

Has anyone got a the E150 in the extra small? if so, could you upload a picture? I'm wondering how compact this looks. Also I suspect the brace tube between the top and seat tube is missing on the XS. Can anyone confirm this? Cheers!

Hi, I'm looking to get my wife an e-bike. She's tiny - 5ft 3in (160cm), inside leg 26.5 inches. For context - she currently rides a Ibis HD3 in small (14.5 in seat-tube) and also a 2009 14-in Orange 5. Key factor is seat-tube length - getting it as low as possible for technical descents. Anyone...
