    Levo Gen 3 Levo Gen 4 2024 Rumours

    Or they are doing anything they can to move some alloy Levo's at a premium. Send the old inventory to the pain booth. Put on some O suspension and charge an extra $2K.

    Shaka.. if you are used to riding a motorcycle than comparing any eMTB to a moto is not helpful advice. I have owned and pushed dirtbikes, dual purpose, and adventure bikes. I also have owned a mid-powered Orbea Rise, and now own a Levo. A class 1 full powered eMTB since it doesn't have a...

    In person, cash deals can be had pretty easily. Try Sonoran Cycles Bike Shop.

    It really depends on who (or if) you are riding with others, and what they are on. If you anticipate riding solo then test SL, mid and full powered. Pivot has great shuttle options and they are all pretty amazing. Being local you get some super deals compared to their MSRP. Or, go with the...

    Levo Gen 3 Broken charging door

    Well, I just got back from a ride, and sure enough my door is missing too. It was a rocky trail, so I'm guessing it got hit and taken out.

    New to emtb

    Enjoy the Sedona MTB festival, hopefully the weather will hold out during the day. Maybe one day there will be inclusion of EMTB there. I've been a moto guy myself, since 1987 and LOVE the EMTB. More miles, more smiles.

    The Current State of eMTB Trail Access in the USA

    There are lots of irrational and selfish thinking when it comes to trail usage or lack thereof. One of our local trails in USFS has signs posted that they are considering closing access to bikers (analog) because hikers complained they go too fast. My proposal to them is suggest (read -...

    Hello from AZ

    Welcome from AZ too. You're wisest to look at what is in stock (or what has not been spoken for on future orders). Rail's can be pushed out almost a year depending on the size you need. Emigo's has a pretty steady flow of EMTB's coming in and I'd recommend them as a shop. I scored an Orbea...

    The Current State of eMTB Trail Access in the USA

    My local US Forrest Service have gone and posted no EBIKE and no Pedal Assist signs at every trailhead. I'm an advocate for Class1's to be classified, and treated as bikes like our BLM and interior departments do. The federal government needs to consider the realities of the sport, and not...

    Orbea Rise 2022

    I went with the Fox 36 Perf 160 with the EMTB tune, and the Fox X w/m8120. It was huge in the comfort and tractability of the bike. Night and day difference. I welcomed the slightly more slack front end and did not notice any negatives for climbing. The slightly higher bottom bracket height...

    Orbea Rise 2022

    The other bonus with my new H-Rise is that it (accidentally) came with the full power 💪 Shimano Firmware. Since receiving the bike I've been instructed to take it to my local dealer to have the firmware changed to the RS version to maintain the warranty status 🤓📜👮‍♂️

    Orbea Rise 2022

    CONFIRMED - just received the bike and indeed it has the Shimano SC 7000 display. No upgrade on my part. Factory configured.

    Orbea Rise 2022

    Heard back from "Orbea USA... Thanks for writing! Yes, the default option on this model is the Shimano SC 7000 display, with the junction box available as an option" (y):cool:🤪

    Orbea Rise 2022

    Looking at all the media pictures I don't see a display on the bars. Could be a media error to include it as standard equipment. I have an email in to Orbea to find out if it comes with it. I bought online that was in stock. Should take delivery of it next week.

    Orbea Rise Hydro H10 just arrived...

    Ordered the only XL I could find. Base spec model but at $5300 USD delivered that's a steal. Was, or am, waiting on my 2022 Cube Stereo Hybrid that's ordered. Maybe this will be an addition rather than a "filler" ebike.

    Who's had COVID?

    I had it Dec 2020 and it took me down for 3 weeks. My oxygen levels were terrible in the months to follow. Definitely take note of you o2 levels when you start exercising again. I had "smurf feet" after my first attempt at riding. My oxygen levels were so poor that my feet turned blue. To...

    CUBe BIKES 2022 AVAILIBILITY

    I have my name on one at my LBS that is tentatively scheduled to ship late October. I see this as *subject to change, fully expecting it to not make it before the end of 2021.

    New Bosch 2022 Motor System (Bosch Smart System) Announced

    Just canceled my long awaited Orbea Wild FS order and have my name down for the 2022 Cube 140 HPC TM 750 29 due late October. Glad that my Wild didn't come in as forecasted, the updated Bosch system is worth the added wait and cost.

    what are your feelings on riding trails that are in USFS areas?

    Over-reach of the government prompted by a mis-informed minority whose request for "respect of their rights" takes away the rights of the majority.

    what are your feelings on riding trails that are in USFS areas?

    Unfortunately, in the US (at least in Arizona) there are plenty of haters when it comes to sharing the trail. I rode a trail yesterday on my acoustic bike and there were signs posted from the USFS that the trail system was potentially going to be shutdown because of "excessive speed". It...
