I have owned a Specialized Turbo Levo since 2016 and just moved on to the 2019 model. I live in Chamonix, France & also ride road bikes & my non assisted Stumpjumper.
Hello, thanks for adding me to the forum.

I too recently joined the forum.
I am hoping to be able to get a Turbo Levo Expert next year sometime. So gathering all the info I can in the meantime.
I've found, so far, that different sales folk have vastly different knowledge about the bike.
I asked one what the best bike rack would be, he responded a wheel supporting track style. Another asked what type I already had, and suggested just getting the right size bike adapter bar, as long as the rack can support the weight. What do you use/recommend?
I recently dusted off and started riding my 30 year old RockHopper. I had replaced the original inner tubes with foam tubes after collecting about 150 star thistles on a ride. Now both tire and tube felt like solid rubber wheel. Practically shook me off the bike in some bumpy spots
Now sporting some fresh tires with tubes, protective strips and tire goop. Now riding as often as i can to get my legs back into shape (well... my butt too, I forgot that needs a bit of training too to overcome initial soreness. Having a blast, hoping to greatly improve range next year with the Levo.

I run a Saris two bike rack on my old golf and it holds my Turbo Levo fine. I wouldn't put another eBike on the back though.
You just need a 'Bike Bar' to create a horizontal mount between the stem and seat post on Full Sus bikes. Saris do one which I got which was £39 but Halfords do essentially the same thing for £20. I've had to put foam on the rack to stop it rubbing the frame but that's no issue. It's just a bit of a hack. If you've got a towbar I would get one of the Thule racks.
It's an ongoing debate but I would go Tubeless if you can, negates thorn punctures etc. Carry a spare inner and the tools to reinflate a tyre.

This works great for my Levo (both 2016 with 3.0 width tyres & 2019 model) & my girlfriends full suspension EMTB. The only negative that it is a little heavy / awkward once off the bike.
