Before I got my Turbo Levo I rode clips on my Santa Cruz so I assumed clips on the EMTB too and started out that way but had some awkward tip over falls at low speeds and eventually decided to switch to flats because I can come off the pedals quicker and don’t need the extra climbing power with...

300+ Riders climp 2400 ft Kennedy Trail Thanksgiving Morning at 8:00am and throw a party at the top, bringing food and cheer to share. I’m usually out of town but not this year. It was a brisk 48F at 8 so getting on the move was a good feeling. I did get a few calls of “cheater” as I passed...

Great input guys!

I’m hope some clever engineer is working on a EMTB system to recharge the battery using a little of the kenetic energy when going downhill or braking, like a hybrid auto does. This would allow a smaller battery and longer range? I’m sure there are technical issues to overcome, the least of...

An inverter will plug into the cigarette lighter port or clip to your auto battery and convert to the household AC current in your country.. You just plug you charger into the inverter and charge away. You can buy at auto parts stores or Amazon. Be sure to get one that has rated outputs more...

There are some good vids on YouTube comparing motors. Just search EMTB motor comparisons. On many new bikes now you can adjust the assist at the various levels to tune the bike to better fit your needs. I have a Specialized Levo and there is the Specialized app Mission Control and a new...

Needed body armor Sunday last as I crashed at Wilder Ranch Santa Cruz CA going down hard on my side and have very sore ribs 5 days later and probably the rest of the month, on a steady diet of pain pills, not good. If I had carried more speed I probably would not have gone down. I’m still...

My wife picked the Focus Jam2 plus 27.5 and a 82 year old friend got the Pro 29 with Di2 shifters. You get a lot of bike with Focus for the money. The Trek powerfly bikes are good but I really like the Focus bike my wife got, the Shimano Step engages quickly for her at a stop uphill, the...

Thanks, I will.

I had fun, Greg wrote to ask if I was injured my reply: Sore, stiff neck and bruised ribs on my right side, but nothing broken but my pride. I realize that if I had carried more speed I would not have tipped over when my pedal hit the bump. I definitely need to work on my technical riding...

Charger on, I’m ready to go, see y’all in the am

Hoping for a strong on-shore breeze to develop

Awesome, look forward to checking the Flyon out at Current e-bikes in Santa Cruz this summer. Gonna be pricey!

I’m riding a 2019 Levo Comp Carbon size L, we can compare.

Yes, that sounds like the plan. I will take her back there sometime and we can ride it at her pace. Sounds like I will be tested to keep up with you as I just got a new knee 8/15 and started cancer treatment this week which makes me fatigued. I will do the best I can but will not be...

Plan to be there

Any women riding Wilder this Sunday? My wife wants to know, she is trying to decide if she is going to join us. She is very much a beginner and does not want to slow me or the gruoup down. I do know women who can easily outride the majority of men, so not being sexist, I hope...

Wilder Ranch sounds good, I will check with my wife to make sure I am free that weekend and I might invite some friends if that is OK with you? Go ahead and send me the details. Saratoga Gap would be a good EMTB ride, we can talk more about that

Yeah, I have a condo at Northstar, so ski season will cut into riding, but lets see if we can get a group together and do a planned ride. Open to suggestions.

It would be fun to organized a Northern California group ride. Any interest? Power to the Pedal
