    Minnesota, USA, e-Bike Law Question

    The issue isn't really being pulled over. It is liability in an accident. If you get in an accident while riding a speed pedalec, you could be found at fault—or the person who hit you may be found not-liable—because you were driving the vehicle illegally. Insurance companies could argue, you...

    Rear derailleur out of alignment. How to fix?

    Is the lock pin engaged (round button with lock symbol on it)? Maybe dirt got in it and is holding the pin in the lock position.

    Anyone Own a Turbo Levo Comp Fat

    I own the fatbike and love it, too. I also got to try a 6Fattie for 3 days while I was waiting for mine to be ordered. Talking to the Specialized rep a the EBike Expo in my area, the Comp Fat HT is going to be ending its product life. They just don't sell enough of them to justify continuing to...

    Maximize battery: Spin or Mash?

    The best battery range I got was on my 2015 Turbo-X spinning at low speed in low gear. Average speed was 12MPH and I rode 42 miles in Eco 50 with 48% left on the battery. I've gone on other rides at similar speed mashing and range was greatly reduced. Reducing your speed, from my experience, has...

    Chainstay Damage (Turbo Levo)

    As the Turbo Levo Fat bike is somewhat unique to the Levos in terms of frame size/shape, this may not affect other Levo riders as much. Hit a big bump on a trail ride this morning and the chain popped up onto the chainstay. Unfortunately, the rubber that is meant to protect it, peeled and held...

    How to actually change settings on Turbo?

    Just got my 2015 Turbo X back from having the display replaced (backlight—of course). They even asked if I knew how to change the display from kph to mph. It's not easy for anyone. They eventually figured it out.

    touring panniers

    Looking at this site recently; found it interesting almost none of the pictured bikes use panniers. http://bikepacker.com/2017-tour-divide-rigs/ Great site for inspiration on packing light.

    Testing a loaner Turbo Levo HT

    Thankfully, I have a really great Specialized dealer a block and a half from my house. They contacted their Specialized rep and got me a Levo HT to borrow for a few days while I make my final decisions about buying the Turbo Levo Comp Fat. I took it out for an hour tonight on some local...

    The new turbo Vado 2017

    Agreed @JayVee. I only wish I could love the shape of that downtube. Maybe it will grow on me.

    What kind of range do you get on one charge?

    Has anyone else tried ebikemaps.com? I've only compared a few rides, but it was pretty close to accurate each time.
