My 13 year old tries out my XL Levo

[dobbyhasfriends]

dropped the seat as much as I could and let my13 year old have his first ever try on an e-bike.
it would be true to say that the e-bike has split opinions in the family, right up until they tried it and then pretty much instantly they changed their minds, every one of em although sometimes this was more about the cost than the fact that its an ebike..

Great to see! Trouble is that he will probably now think that he needs a bigger bike!

Since he was 7, my grandson has been stealing rides on my Large-size bike (whichever one it was at the time). When he was 9, I bought him a frame that was borderline too big for him and built up a bike, I had to cut 4" off the seat post so that he could pedal! He is now 12 and recently has a 780 mm bar on that bike and a 105 mm dropper. On technical trails, he goes faster than his grandad is comfortable with. The bike is technically the correct size, just. If I look at all the bikes that he says feel perfect, they are all too big according to the size charts. So I'm ignoring all that and getting him a bigger bike for Xmas, and one that is more suited to his riding ability. He will absolutely love it and I can't wait to see his reaction, but he will still steal rides on my Focus Jam2 whenever he can get away with it.

When I take Ms 15yo riding she takes my levo & I'm back on the carbon comp. It's great! I can ride as far & fast as I like & the turbo looks after her. Win win & we both enjoy the ride. (I'm not the world's strongest rider to be honest)
