Glad to hear you found the culprit. I recently made the mistake of not checking the inside of my tire after changing a flat rear tube in good weather. Got back on and tire went flat again due to tiny sliver of metal that had made it's way through. Did not have another spare tube with me and...

Exact same reason for me.

Thanks for the link ... I know some vineyard folks in that area that would be interested in doing an ebike tour on the dusty trails.

John, welcome to EBR forum. My daughter lives in NZ, in fact she will be in Cromwell on Boxing Day doing some hut to hut tramping. I was in your neck of the woods last year. Great area, love the stone fruit. Did not get a chance to check out the local MTB trails ... Have a great holiday and...

Did you notice any increase in mph using 2000? Someone I believe reported a 1-2 mph increase above 20 mph cut off.

Scott - Did you ever get the wheel size "hack" to work or find some other work around?

Shoestring - I only tested the Bulls Shimano MTB and the motor was whining pretty loud at the highest rpms, but I may be more sensitive to high pitch noises since I been married for so long (just joking of course). Anyway, I am sure the noise level depends on the bike gearing set up as well as...

I have very limited experience test riding the Bosch bikes but for the sake of discussion would like to share my non-expert experience. Having only tested two MTB Bosch CX mid drives on two separate occasions, one at the recent Bike Expo in Philly, I did find that both bikes seemed more...

I also went to the Philly Expo and test road mostly eMTBs to get a feel of the different motors. Also tested Specialized Como and Vado and posted my impressions in Spec Como thread earlier today. With regards to the motors, I preferred the smooth natural ride feel of the Brose motor even...

I also test rode the Como 2.0 at the Philly Bike Expo. Court's review is spot on. I was impressed with the looks, build quality, comfort, and handling of this bike. The seat and upright position were very comfortable. The tuning of the Brose motor IMO is perfect for this cruiser-style...

I agree .... The bottom line is that there will always be a market for quality. The question then becomes does the carbon frame represent a significant uptick in quality and thus a better ride experience for the average buyer of carbon e-MTBs to justify the cost? My gut feeling is, having only...

I noticed more manufacturers offering carbon eMTBs in the past couple years. Bulls and Specialized for example. One pays a premium for these bikes compared to their aluminum counterparts. Besides the seemingly insignificant reduction in weight and perhaps increased esthetics (cool factor), is...

Ragtop - sounds like you really are enjoying your Levo. May I ask where did you purchase the bike? I want to take one for a test drive but the dealers close to me do not stock them.

Which begs the question why didn't the event organizers know this in advance or wait until now to cancel. After all the eclipse has been general knowledge some time now. Anyway, I am in Portland now on vacation and the local vendors are talking about it and looking forward to the business.

I love the quality of Trek bikes, the frame welds and paint seem better to me than many of the competition. Enjoy your new wheels. I grew up in your area and very familiar with the bike trails north of DC. If you ride the Rock Creek trail watch out for those speed cameras if you plan on going...

A capable hitch mounted rack is a must and if you are doing this solo make sure you are comfortable lifting 45 to 55 pounds of dead weight (without battery). Finding the proper hand lifting balance points on the frame is the key.

Colors remind me of motor cross bikes. Cool looking and definitely targeting MTB jet setters.

Of course lacking details on how the test was performed it is difficult to interpret the data. Still, it is useful information and on a relative basis in line with what I have read about the comparative performance of pre-2017 motor models. Sonoboy - thanks for sharing!

I think it is reasonable to assume the source was Bosch since their branding is clearly indicated on the chart while the other motor company trademarks are lacking.
