    Cannondale Topstone Gravel Ebike

    Hi all, these bikes are pretty interesting, and seem to be the most versatile of the bunch between the Creos and Domanes. Can the Topstones be used as pseudo commuters with rail panniers etc? Can these also be used on natural trails? (no jumps obviously). And do any other similar bikes exist...

    Best FS XC/Trail eMTB under 10k? Levo, Kenevo, Rail, Haibikes (too many models to narrow down)

    So what's interesting about this is.. I took the Allant out this weekend and tried to push hard to see the top speed, and then also rode around to see what I normally ride at.. It seems my top speed is around 24mph/38km unsustained, and around 22mph/36km normal speeds. I didn't realize this...

    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    Lol I was always curious why roadie bikes are always flying up hills..figured it was the lightweightness of the bike and the driver 😆 had no idea there were multiple gearsets and that ebikes only have the single.. Ive never ridden a road bike but they look sooooo fun

    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    Hey All, Few questions; Can a larger chainring be fit to the SL? 48t for example? Can the extended battery be used to charge the main battery? Also, if you were to stop halfway on whatever you would deem a moderate hill, would you be able to bike up it with assist? Fitness level varies of...

    Turbo Levo Comp Alloy - Any immediate upgrades need to be made?

    Yeah thats the interesting thing about the Trance.. it seems to ride very.. Levo-ish from reviews.. despite having 29er wheels and a huge chainstay.. its kinda odd actually. It took me a few days to research but I think I figured out what I was looking for in an eMTB: Strong, Torquey Motor...

    Lol R&M does remind me of Mercedes too, Specialized very similar to BMW

    This is true indeed and also a thought when it comes to cars!

    Turbo Levo Comp Alloy - Any immediate upgrades need to be made?

    This might very well be the case lol! I like to do the research to make sure that every option is covered, otherwise following the crowd could lead to a more hollow option; but i do like the Levos; they seem the best at most things.. Torque, Geometry, handling, battery, electronics.. looks are...

    Turbo Levo Comp Alloy - Any immediate upgrades need to be made?

    Yeah, the Levos are the ones I compare the other options to; The Trek Rail 9.8 is in there too, but those seem very, jack of all trades vs great at one thing or another

    Best FS XC/Trail eMTB under 10k? Levo, Kenevo, Rail, Haibikes (too many models to narrow down)

    Yeah it looks like they took a few steps back for some reason with the 2022's.. huge chainstays, 29er only, more stable than punchy :/

    Yeah this guy is a really strong, objective reviewer; I just watched his video on the direct compare between the Shimano EP8 vs the Bosch, which was interesting, since the EP8 seems to come in low on everyones power meters

    Turbo Levo Comp Alloy - Any immediate upgrades need to be made?

    Ok, will note that aspect-TY; Will research more, but it seems the Giant is the most well rounded option. Reading on the eMTB forums, people do speak of many issues with the Shimano EP8 motor which removes the Norco and Merida :/

    Its sooo weird and makes the upper models look low budget

    Best FS XC/Trail eMTB under 10k? Levo, Kenevo, Rail, Haibikes (too many models to narrow down)

    Ok, ill have to think on this aspect; any issues with used bikes? There's a seemingly well maintained 2021 Trek XTR for sale that may be an option as well
