I'm not a fan of the Class system primarily since the differences between all three classes are imperceptible to the naked eye and impossible to regulate. It makes legislators and land manager feel better by dictating which classes are allowed where, but IME, users just ignore it all and buy...

There are plenty of free clinometer apps that will give you readouts in either % or degrees. FWIW, phone apps aren't very accurate since how you're holding your phone isn't.

The people who don't want ebikes on trails aren't dumb, and are pointing out the problems with the Class1-3 laws. I wish P4B had left well enough alone with the CPSA. Fair warning, it's almost 40 pages long, but they get right to it in the first few...

That seat though...... owww

I know lots of Harley riders, of the typical demographic. White, male, have some money, like the noise, how fast they go in a straight line, the culture and playing dress up. None of them would touch a bike unless it fell on their Harley. Or an ebike. If they are trying to chase the hip younger...

It'd be a good ute, I don't like the tread pattern on the tires, not so good for side hills. Easy enough to change

All motors will be "rated" at 250w or 750w and will continue to increase in power. Nm and power are what sells for most people.

There are many, many threads about Levo problems, some cable related since beside motors dying it's the most common problem. I didn't bother searching them, you can search for the posts made by Specialized Rider Care as well.

You'll find people with the same issues here, plus, Specialized actually monitors the forum and responds. https://www.emtbforums.com/community/forums/specialized.4/

What? No puddle of oil underneath? That ain't no Harley....

There is also a new market segment of lightweight emtbs in the 17kg/37lb range, suitable for those with both strong legs and wallets. https://ebike-mtb.com/en/specialized-levo-sl-2020-emtb-review/

Depending on how much cash you have, they're in the high 30's to the low 50's, with most in the 40's. https://ebike-mtb.com/en/

Ouch, that's almost twice as much as other emtbs

I'm unsure if the decisions will survive the next administration

" for an extended period of time " Lol, define "extended period of time" this makes it impossible to enforce. Class 2 will either be allowed or not allowed, they can't be allowed with such a subjective condition in place.

The weight savings are minor on a bike that heavy to begin with. Most cheap carbon frames are built in two ways, either as light as high quality ones, which are more likely to break, or overbuilt to be strong enough to last. In the first case, the difference between a high quality carbon frame...

Depends, although that is a solution I use on several bikes. A wheelset with 32s for mostly road and a little dirt, and another with 42s for the inverse for example. You could do the same with an emtb hardtail with a rigid front fork and have a wider tire parameters, but I'm not aware of an e...

I have a friend who has one of these, it's very nice and you can fit 38s in it. https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/domane-plus-lt/ Buy a second battery and have your sag driver charge it up somewhere during the day. A gravel bike is a bit underbiked for the TD IMO, but whatever floats your boat.
