I'm surprised that at a buck fifty you even have to turn the battery on. 😉. Try 210 lbs plus carry a spare battery in a camelbak hawg for 4500ft climbing. Anyway, my wife never needs new motors, just me.
Why does the press release say 2018? I've been on Levos since almost the beginning. My...
I learned something very important a couple of weeks ago after skiing. Don't keep the key fob in an outside pocket when cold out. My truck won't start if it doesn't detect a key. I had to put the key fob next to my package for a few minutes to warm the battery. 😅
That's the new Tesla truck. It's not mine. I'm working class. That was the first one that I have seen. The windshield was already cracked. That would cost pretty penny to replace.
My ice bike has wheels that were custom made by EIE Carbon. I had them made 27.5 , max width, UST tubeless with no spoke holes. That way no rim tape needed or air leaks in extreme cold or wet riding. Match that with 27.5 X 3.0 Wrathchild tires. I carry plugs for repairs but I've found that...
If you are smoking the rear brake and not the front, that means that you are just like me. You rely too much on the rear brake. Also, my personal experience has always been, with SRAM, to use sintered up front, organic in the back. They also have different rotors and thickness. They are...
I'm surprised you didn't run into cactus. Free riding in the desert equals 🤪. There are trails nearby at Blue Diamond and the Cowboy trails a little further down the road.
Speaking as someone who just rode 33,000 ft in December on ice, I highly recommend Wrathchild 27.5 X 3.0. The best way, if you have the means, is keep a pair of studded tires permanently mounted tubeless on a second set of wheels. That way they are always ready and you can swap out wheels for...
That chart is in Fahrenheit but I get your point. I use a snow board/ski helmet. I have uphill face gear and DH face gear depending on temp. It sounds overkill but it's the windchill like you said. I keep goggles and a neoprene facemask for DH emergencies. Sometimes it can be 9 miles dh back...
Just me and fresh mountain lion tracks....... anyway, where I live it is common to get above freezing during the day which in turn causes the thaw. You don't want any part of the thaw so I got the best light I could find and ride before the sun comes up. The bike light changed my life. Cheers...
I have what I'd call an extreme winter setup. Wolfgar boots from 45nrth and Hotronic heated insoles. It looks like the price is coming down on the boots. I use some rain/wind pants with them. Feet never get wet. Bulky? Yes. Warm.....yes. I use pedal extenders on egg beaters. For dry hands I...
The big backpack is a given. You can't even call yourself an ebiker if you don't have a big backpack. I use the camelbak hawg with a spare battery. Which of course I only use to increase dh weight for faster dh times.
A funny story about that Garmin remote. My wife and I had 17' model Levos. I would sync my Garmin to her bike. She always insisted on using eco mode. Whenever she would lag behind or a hill was coming, I'd raise her power level. She eventually figured it out that I was doing something to her...
I agree that you don't need a woman's specific bike. Just throwing this out there since most wouldn't think of this setup. My wife rides a Med Kenevo. Technically it's way overkill since she doesn't jump or do any serious dh. It has a dropper post and the frame allows the seat to go crazy low...
