i'm sure someone posted on FB yesterday on an Edinburgh based cycle page (might have been cycle republic or on the ebike firms advertising bikes for small business) saying they'd recently had their bike nicked but insurance didn't pay out.

Indeed I got my HT for less than £2k. The 400wh battery is fine for my needs. I did 14miles the other day and still had some left and I used Turbo a lot and have a tweaked top speed which I used. I also care not one jot that I have the 1.2e motor, tried and tested I guess, the old one had...

Price premium? The thing is there are so many Levos, yes some models are super expensive. I picked a Levo HT because it was the cheapest eMTB, the only one I could afford.

I see the poll, most of the comments seem not to be electrical or motor related. One wonders how they voted based on the poll question?

Garmin Edge 520+ is all you'll need when on the go. Blevo is good for checking stuff when your home.

More specialized E bikes sold than any other? More active posts in the form areas.... ergo more people with warranty issues, but as a percentage owners to issues you'll probably find all ebikes the same or similar for reliability. Plus always remember, those with issues are always more vocal...

Well that's me back from Aviemore, enjoyed my tmars suspension seatpost, took most of the anus wrecking bumps in its stride. One Levo question though, how do you control a wheelie? Was doing some "practice" and it went badly wrong when I accidentally pedalled (like 2mm of foot travel) and the...

Well I've been out for a good bumpy ride and I can say 20mm of seat travel makes a much softer ride on a Levo HT. So much so that I went really quick on some lumpy bits where I wouldn't normally and I caught the front wheel in a rather vicious pot hole on a semi-unmade road and just a lovely...

How much did that cost?

You mean a competitor with garmin 130 surely? 520 edge is colour and fully integrates with Specialized bike?

More money than sense moment. Really liked the look of the suntour suspension seat post. Found out a firm called TMARS make a similar one, less travel, but also lighter. Got the last one on amazon. Cheaper from other sources but I'm away on hols in a day or two so wanted quick delivery...

What concerns me about that carrier is it loops over the top of bootlid spoiler. It's only thin plastic. Those on speakev that swear by them don't seem to appreciate what little strength is in that section of bootlid. You could literally twist it off by hand. Wish there was a tow hook...

I've humped regular mtbs onto the roof of my Renault Zoe. Can't fit a tow bar its not rated for one. I currently put the bike in the back but it renders the car a 2 seater then. So recently we've been taking 2 cars when we go anywhere with bikes. If I could stick Levo on roof then the whole...

Any good for Levo HT? INNO Multi Fork bike carrier, no. INA392. Wondering if i'd be able to lift my Levo HT onto a car roof with the front wheel and the battery off? Anyone weighed a Levo HT with the front wheel off and the battery out? Gotta be a lot less than the 23kg limit of that carrier?

Absolutely no need for a dropper for me. I sit on saddle and ride. If I stand up on pedals the seat is well below me (long legs).
