    commuting with turbo levo

    commuting with turbo levo

    Hi all Just to follow up. I bought a 2021 turbo levo comp. I am very happy with the bike. I am happy that I got an eMTB (rather than a vado) for commuting. Jumping on and off our pavements etc is a lot easier with the full suspension etc. Whilst I am going overseas only next year, I have...

    commuting with turbo levo

    Stefan Great advice. Thanks! It's gonna be fairly flat. I like your recommendation against carbon. I could only get the vado 3.0, not 4.0. I will be buying the bike here in SA and taking it to Israel. Somehow a modified Levo still seems a better bet for me.
