    Anyone Own a Turbo Levo Comp Fat

    I still just can't decide between the fat and the comp 6fattie full suspension. Both are deeply discounted with about 20 percent off for being a 2017 with the 2018's already available. I have a Haibike (my icon) Cross SL that I am loving, but do want something more trail rated to ride the...

    What governs whether a bike gets pedal assist up to 20 vs. 28 mph?

    As far as I understand it, its purely software. But, that doesn't meant you can stretch a 20 mph bike to 28 without actual firmware that supports it. There are dongles and such out there that will do it for you and many would argue it won't hurt anything, but I wouldn't do it myself.

    Anyone Own a Turbo Levo Comp Fat

    Hey everyone, Trying to find some information on the Turbo Levo Comp Fat with HT. Not a lot on this and all the reviews are on the Comp and Expert FSR. I rode the Expert and really liked it, but can't afford it. There seems to be a window about to open up on all of the 2017 stock that I want to...

    Turbo Levo Expert - Red Light on Battery All The Time

    Hi, I just bought a Turbo Levo Expert demo from my LBS. I looked at it a long time and finally pulled the trigger today. The bike is in great shape, but there is one thing I am wondering about, but its probably just something I can't find in the manual. The last light on the battery (last 10...

    Which e-mtb to get back in the groove?

    The bike is brand new in the box... comes with full warranty and everything you get from a new purchase. I bought it from a store in California that was making room for their new bikes coming in and its a 2016 model so it was already a year out of date. This one is an SDURO though, so it comes...

    Which e-mtb to get back in the groove?

    So, I totally blew my own question out of the water as I found a killer deal on a Haibike SDURO Cross SL that was basically half price. I figure I can see if I even will get on a bike and maybe get really into it, and if that happens I can go ahead and sink the 4-5K into a bike. The Cross is...

    Which e-mtb to get back in the groove?

    I really like the Bulls Plus bike, but I found the non plus bike from last year for 3K.. the current 27.5 Plus is 4600... I read there are some bigger tires you can put on the non plus, but for 1600 bucks more, is the plus worth the extra??? Well that would be my guess too. I am guessing its a...

    Which e-mtb to get back in the groove?

    Hey, I have done a LOT of reading and watching videos etc, and I might just be asking this to feel like I am getting some advice from those who might have experience, or maybe just to write my thoughts down and see if I have already made a decision while doing so.. lol. I am looking for an...

    Used Market in the Future???

    Thats a great point on the bike being useless without the battery. Now, two things come to mind about this though. One is that you can repack a battery at any battery shop from what I understand. My biggest concern in buying a Specialized Turbo Levo or a Bulls E-Stream is that the battery is...

    Used Market in the Future???

    Hey Rich, I agree. Less than half if lucky around here too. The problem is that the technology will change so fast that the current generation of electric bikes will be like a commodore 64 (showing my age) in the next 3-5 years. I guess I should just buy it to enjoy it and hope for the best...

    Used Market in the Future???

    Hey there, haven't really posted a ton as I have been mostly reading a trying to absorb all the data I can to make an informed decision on which e-mtb to buy. I was the typical guy who looked at a 5-8K dollar bike and wondered why anyone would not just buy a motorcycle or used car for that kind...
