Hi all,
I'm about to take the plunge and buy my first e-bike. I have decided on the Specialized Turbo Levo, however I am torn between the following 3 options.
Base
Comp
Comp Carbon
Of course some will say buy the comp carbon if you can afford it, but i think that's a little to simplistic.
For example, I could buy the base model and upgrade parts separately. I could save the £1500 and put that toward a few holidays and long biking weekends away etc.
I'm leaning toward toward the comp carbon personally, however it leaves me zero budget for anything else.
Do you think the comp carbon is worth the extra £1500 over the base model? Is the comp worth the extra £750 over the base model, is the comp carbon worth £750 over the comp?
Does the carbon frame make much of a difference in handling, performance etc and is it really worth the extra cost over the comp?
Anyone with direct experience over the 3 models would be great to know, I genuinely can't go any higher than £5000 so the comp carbon is the limit for me as the experts are way above my top limit price range.
My issue here is that's I don't want to spend 5k on the comp carbon if the comp or base model would be almost identical with a saving of £1500 that I could put toward added features, options, upgrades or even a holiday.
If anyone with direct experience cares to help me out with some information on the differences in feel, look and overall performance etc. I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance
