    Los Gatos Turkey Ride

    300+ Riders climp 2400 ft Kennedy Trail Thanksgiving Morning at 8:00am and throw a party at the top, bringing food and cheer to share. I’m usually out of town but not this year. It was a brisk 48F at 8 so getting on the move was a good feeling. I did get a few calls of “cheater” as I passed...

    Gradual Battery Degradation

    I have a 2019 Turbo Levo Comp Carbon which I have owned for about a year and put a little over 1200 miles on it. At 100% charge my battery has gone from over 500wh to now 477wh according to the BLEvo app I use. Is this normal degradation of lithium ion batteries or something I should be...

    When do you think we will get Downhill battery charge regeneration?

    I’m hope some clever engineer is working on a EMTB system to recharge the battery using a little of the kenetic energy when going downhill or braking, like a hybrid auto does. This would allow a smaller battery and longer range? I’m sure there are technical issues to overcome, the least of...

    Levo motor overheat

    I got a motor warning in BLEvo after a short 850’ climb, all ECO and Trail, so not working it especially hard. Temp reached a high of 111F I Thought maybe it was full of debris as I have an early 2019 without the foam to keep debris out of the housing With motor housing open, there was a little...

    Flat pedals or Cleats?

    Which do you ride and why? If flats what is your pedal of choice If cleats, SPD? Crank Bros. Or other, what is your pedal of choice. I moved my well worn old school Shimano DX red pedals to my EMTB, is there a better way to go? Ron

    What tire sealant do you recommend

    My tube vs. tubless survey in this EMTB General forum is running 75% Pro tubeless, 25% Pro tubes. I’ve decided to make the jump to tubeless and watched a dozen or so vids about making the switch. This will be my first go at this so I have absolutely no experience making the switch, I am however...

    Lifting Restrictions on Class1 EMTB riding - Mid Penninsula Open Space District.

    My friend Mark got a warning ticket for riding on a Mid Pen Open Space trail here in the San Francisco Bay Area. We are planning to petition the Mid Pen Board to lift the restriction on Class 1 on trails otherwise open to cycling. We see no real difference in the way a C1 rider uses the...

    We took our new EMTB’s to our condo at Northstar Ski Resort at Lake Tahoe driving up late Thursday night and returning Sunday afternoon. Getting 2 - 50lb bikes up 3 flights of stairs to our condo was a challenge especially on arriving Thursday around midnight. Walk mode in a low gear seemed...

    Hello from California 2 or too

    After deciding to buy an EMTB I was able to get my wife interested in e-bike too. The problem was none of the local shops had a bike for her to ride in a small frame except for a Turbo Levo Expert at $8200 when she was having difficulty getting her mind around spending $5000 on a new EMTB...
