    Porsche are closing down E-bike division and Fazua

    I think that's pretty much what I said previously, Avinox + removable small battery, I would buy that. The only thing I would add is cutting weight further by producing a smaller motor, Avinox could surely make a 50-60% version of their current motor which would be more than adequate for my...

    Porsche are closing down E-bike division and Fazua

    In the case of Fazua it is 600g lighter than Avinox so that isn't what I'd consider a small difference. 400W would not be realistic for the Avinox and would result in customer dissatisfaction. No one, not anyone with mega power available is going to keep the motor detuned for a small battery...

    rumor, exchangeable battery is it tru?

    It's not practical to charge a battery in the middle of the ride, at least not for me. A dude I know has a DJI Crestline and gets about 1% per minute on his fast charger and portable generator. So if you're down to 20% and you want to ride another 2 hours, means sitting around for at least an...

    rumor, exchangeable battery is it tru?

    If this is true, and Amflow can't manage a removable battery setup for less than 2KG weight penalty, then their structural knowledge is poor. Many other frame manufacturers can integrate a removable battery set up for far less weight penalty and have no trouble doing it with carbon frames.

    Avinox Range Extender

    Dear Avinox motor company: you are also missing sales because you don't offer a removable battery system for new bikes, something Specialized has understood for several gen's of Levos (lots of other brands offer too). While probably isn't for everyone, there are a lot of riders that own 2...

    The SL bike is dead. Long live the SL bike!

    Marketing+YouTube influencers have everything to do with the current "more power=better"-Kool-Aid being served up to consumers, demand created in large part by media consumption rather than genuine demand from real use cases. More torque, more watts, more support, more battery, more weight, you...

    Squealing Magura Brakes

    Just a personal note/input...I've found the MDR-P floating rotors to be the worst for keeping the noise down. Gave these many attempts and finally concluded the floating design + tight pad spacing on Maguras was the issue, at least to best of my knowledge. I've always had best luck with HC...

    Magura MT7 brakes drive me crazy

    MT7's are super finicky and have very tight tolerances, more so than any other mtb brake imo. The most overlooked step is Magura's bed-in process. If you get a new bike chances are the pads were not bed-in. If you just go straight out and ride, then you run a high probability of making noisy...

    Sad news, YT Closes it’s doors

    I've had 2 YT ebikes, and in neither case have I had any trouble getting service or support, quite the opposite, quickly returned emails and helpful, but yes in the USA. I hope this doesn't sound condescending to report the truth about my own experience. As to the financial troubles, I would...

    Other Shittylized

    I would calmly approach another shop and act like this is all new to you and see what happens. If you don't get the answer you want, I would go directly to Specialized to make your case, make sure your story is air tight. Posting pictures of damage online would not hurt. Squeaky wheel gets the...

    Levo SL Gen 1 Official Levo SL Thread

    Ohlins TTX22M Coil Rear Shock - 210 x 55mm Metric I used tf tuned's spring calculator (be sure to read carefully for ebike factors) Levo SL is a "4 bar" style suspension https://www.tftuned.com/spring-calculator?srsltid=AfmBOopSX4widvqkvK42ydvP421zF5SPR4g5hP6Wi5pO_MHQkea2RE8W You might need to...

    Levo SL Gen 1 Official Levo SL Thread

    If you weren't in Europe I'd offer to sell you my Ohlins since I'm selling my LSL. I think Rockshox is fine for durability but the Ohlins has a more compact piggy back. I've been running the Topaz Gen 3 for about a year, really like it, water bottle/range extender fits in on my medium fine.

    Levo SL Gen 1 Official Levo SL Thread

    Sure, glad to help. LSL has a super linear suspension so both the Cascade and progressive spring give the bike better platform, without is a noodle.

    Levo SL Gen 1 Official Levo SL Thread

    A coil shock is more linear than an air shock, so for your issue I would recommend a better air shock than the stock Fox float or coil. DVO Topaz Gen 3 for example or Float X or similar where you can really dial up the progression easily. If you really want to try a coil, get a progressive...

    Which SL Ebike for enduro riding ?

    Gen1 and Gen2 Orbea Rise can be made full power using aftermarket software easily...Rotwild has a full power SL model as well.

    Fazua not delivering on RE at all...at least Relay has removable battery. A day late and a dollar short.

    I agree about the motor and battery, 540W + EP8 is the better of the options you mention, more power and torque and more juice on hand than others. On my Rise I have 160 fork, Cascade link + the 160 mullet rear travel mod with 8.5x2.5 shock. Set up like this is very noticeable in terms of rear...

    I have a Rise and a KSL. When it comes to park riding and burley stuff, the KSL is much better. KSL is pretty slow and lethargic on tight singletrack, not really a "do-all" bike IMO. Relay is tempting however the issue I see is weight, will easily be a few pounds heavier than similar build on...

    Specialized Rider Care is not responsive

    I always keep a back up for most things. Rims break, waiting around for the part is on you. You invested $18K (cough, cough), surely you have the budget for another wheel or a rebuild on another rim for the time being?? If you value your riding time, a few hundred bucks for repair or...
