I only rarely use walk mode to walk my bike up steep hills, as the bike is very capable...
But today I have found the real purpose for the walk mode:
On narrow trails or in a tight spot in the garage I sometimes have to pull the bike up on the rear wheel to turn it around.
With the heavy eMTBs...
After 3 years and 11.000 km the old Levo has been retired - Thx for insanely amounts of fun and long epic rides :cool:
First ride on new 2022 Levo - What a beast and also so refined - Hope to keep this for the next 10.000 km 🤘
After more than 10.000 km my 1.3 motor sounded a bit tired.
Replaced the belt for the new version - even though the old belt actually still looked ok.
But the motor still sounded tired...
Would hate to be stuck in the alps without power, so I decided to look for a new motor.
Finally found one...
Since my first eMTB ride I myself have lost 16 kg - 98 to 82 kg
But in the same period the bike have gained several kilos ?
Do You also tend to mount more and more stuff on the Your bike ?
I do - and suddenly I have mounted the burly Eddy Current in 2.8" front and rear.
Fantastic tires with...
I hope You guys can help me
My connector on my 2018 battery is worn down after 8,000 km
The male part i to short and therefore sometimes disconnects during rides
(The 1.3 motor is running perfect and smooth)
I can only find one source for buying the part fitted to the battery - Luna Cycle -...
If You still remember Your first ride on an eMTB...
You will get the same feeling at Your first winter ride with Ice Spike tires.
I have enjoyed several weeks with rides in cold and snowy conditions.
So much fun and so scary with the icy parts of the trails :eek:
Got a pair of used Scwalbe Ice...
MTBs and mudguards = No Go
But...
I go for long 3-4 hours rides all year.
In the rainy season I hate to get wet and muddy after 5 min.
I have tried several mudguards, dedicated rear guards, plastic, carbon, front guards, guards mounted at the dropper or ass-savers.
But they all seems to be to...

We all have to be extra carefull and consider not riding difficult or fast tracks...Maybe no even ride at all :cry:
Why - If You get hurt and need to go to hospital - You could carry virus and contaminate the hospital.
By doing this You could be the reason that the doctors and nurses could sick...
My 2018 Levo have worked perfectly and the motor is both smooth and silent (y)
Anyways - I consider getting a new Levo, but the troubles with the 2019 Brose motors make me nervous.
Do You find the 2020 Brose more reliable than the 2019 - even if the motors are the same ?
Take Your obsolete 2020 S-Works at 20.5 kg (700wh)
Remove 50% of the battery cells = Saves almost 2 kg = 18.6 kg
Remove tools from the steerer tube
Go tubeless
Change to 2.3" tires with trail casing = Saves 350 g
Get a Selle X-LR saddle = Saves 110 g
Use Your old 34" factory fork = Saves 216 g...
Just love my Levo - But the red paint didn't grow on me :eek:
So why not sand the paint down to the carbon - just did that with very fine water sandpaper.
Just added some Kashima to the stealth
I find that the result is just me :cool:
This summer I am trying to conquer the alps :devilish:
Starting in Germany (Garmish) and ending up at the Riva del Garda.
I am traveling on my Turbo Levo with guys at analog bikes.
The route is mostly on easy singletracks, gravel, fire roads and tarmac.
No hard core downhilling this time.
I...
