2024 Tero 4.0 has 70nm 2.1 motor and 500 battery - and costs about $4,700 (2021 Levo HT has 90nm 2.0 motor and 500 battery - and costs $3,865)

A Levo hardtail comp showed up on Specialized Mexico website for 70,000 MXN ($3,865 USD) It is 120 fork, 29er with Shimano kit including brakes . . . it has Specialized 1.3 motor and 500wh battery. Worth considering or recommending to friends?

4 years ago: I bought a Haibike ALLMTN 2.0 - and it did 90% of what my new Kenevo does today at 1/4 the price. I wish I still had it my garage now that I think about it.

Why re-invent the wheel? Buy a (new or used) Levo/Kenevo with Mission Control - it really is amazing app etc

Ghost E-Riot w/625 battery at 4,124 Euros is probably not smart system - so you do not have option of range extender. Also looks like it has "old purion' if that matters etc. Great value however.

Specialized/Brose has eco, trail and turbo modes controlled by switch on handlebar. SRAM/Brose has range, rally modes that are controlled by switch on top tube . . . seems like SRAM has 2 'automatic' settings, one to go fast and one to go far??

What is your feedback on the unique 'ride mode' rally/range settings ? (vs eco, tour, emtb and turbo for Bosch for example)

I would spend my hard earned money on the new Levo SL. Why? It is a beautiful, fully integrated design - proprietary in a good way . . . (also, Specialized too big to fail and good resale)

Spank Spike 50mm rise bars and Ergon SM-E Saddle on my 22 Rail 5

Central Mexico - yes mainly dry dusty like SoCal - but less asphalt and more gravel and cobbles to ride on.

This stuff is considered wax? Wow, did not know.

Not waxed, I use Finish Line Ceramic/dry lube - seems to work fine around here

I upgraded my Rail 5 - 625 wh, Ohlins coil and Zeb. Superbike all of a sudden.

fwiw - I have a friend who rides an Ansbern Boost - with Bafang and Rockshox components - https://www.ansbernbikes.com/product/e-bike/full-suspension-e-bike/boost-full-suspension-emtb-2/ He ordered from Alibaba, under $2,500 USD I think

Please post a pic please - and my advice is ride the bike stock, especially during the warranty period.

Circling back to your TLDR - Buy a Specialized, Trek or Giant from the your favorite LBS. Demo the different models, buy one and ride the bikes much as you can during the warranty period - if you still like it after that, you add it to your quiver as a backup bike ha ha

FWIW my 3 favorite FF from Outerbike demos last week (Lamere is custom 28mph class 3)

If you have the money, you might as well buy the 500w to see if dropping the weight makes a difference to you - plus you will have a spare battery to keep at the trailhead or in your pack etc.
