Small light female here. I was a strong advanced intermediate rider on regular bikes but when I got to age 70 (!!!) 5 years ago could no longer get up the steeper stuff. Enter the ebike. I have never been able to get back the level of comfort for tech that I had with a lighter more agile 27.5...
Hi Just saw this. Are you still interested ? I have a never used extender...perfect condition. I am very light and find I have never done a ride that took more than 40% of the main battery to complete. Seems a waste to have it sitting unused in my garage.
Small female here, retirement age :) I did not care for my Levo Turbo (small) as it was much too large, heavy and powerful for my 115 lbs. I LOVE my Orbea Rise, built to 37-38 lbs. The frame is still bigger than I prefer, and I’m not crazy for 29 wheels, but it’s a vast improvement over the...
Just weighed her on Park scale. LTD size Small, mostly stock, but Assegai on the front instead of the Rekon it came with, and with XT Shimano pedals and a WTB Rocket seat. 38 lbs on the button. I am a small rider. 64 inches and 115 lbs. I thought my Turbo Levo was going to kill me. Too big, too...
I’m 64 inches tall and I love my new Orbea Rise small, but would much prefer 27.5 on it (like my acoustics) to its 29s. I have always felt top heavy on 29s and it is more pronounced the heavier the bike is. I wouldn’t mind a little more standover either ( :
Chiming in here…LOVING my 2 week old LTD ! I’m still in the early stages of learning her limits, but I have done 15 miles, 1050 ft vertical and used 20% battery. Also used 20% to ride 20 miles and 1700 ft vertical on another ride. It helps to weigh 115 lbs ( :
Interesting...I have been slammed to the ground 4 times now when the front washed out on my Small LEVO Turbo unexpectedly. I have never experienced this on my analog bikes. It has typically not been on turns but rather when going over a rut or rocks. I am a very light rider (120 lbs fully...
Good input. I did spend quite a bit of time on setup and I'm actually quite happy with the suspension and fork adjustments now. I put the shortest possible stem on it to quicken the handling but it still feels slow/heavy. I run about 11-12 lbs in the tires and it feels about right. The size...
I bought too much ebike. I am 5’4” 115 lbs female and the 2019 S Works Turbo Levo Small is a monster. Not only is the frame too big, but the weight is crazy. What used to be little bobbles on my analog bikes are now full on slams to the ground on the Levo. I have given up trying to use it on...
I'm not crazy about my Levo Turbo. It's a very nice bike, and fun as can be on fireroads and double track. But I find the weight and sluggish handling to be problematic on more technical riding. I am a senior lady, 5'4" and 115 lbs ready to ride. The Small frame has quite a bit longer reach...
The visible carbon markings are very unattractive to me. Unlike the older style of carbon “cloth” where you could see organized fibers in neat layouts, the modern appearance is just blotchy and ugly. At first I thought there were dust patches on the frame...but they didn’t wipe off ! It is...
