@Suset, you have to take part in this thread

eMTB Options For 2024

Bring all your ideas here for mountain bike options for 2020 - now 2023 We had a lot of great discussion on bikes and models in Lenny's 50% off thread but some members complained about the thread content being relevant. So here's a thread to discuss all the options and bike styles, what you...

Please explain @Browneye why Turbo Levo is so special!

Besides, where do you ride offroad in Denmark? Jylland?

Welcome to the asylum!

Turbo Levo in any but the very base model (no dropper seat, basic conponents) are absolutely stellar eMTB's. It's the yardstick to which everything else is compared.
I think Rob explains it best here:

I meant @Browneye that @Suset should tell you, not the opposite

 

[Browneye]

Ah, got it. Yes, I understand.
Turbo Levo Comp at my local bike shop - $5300 plus 8% tax. It's surely an option.

I have not ridden one yet...I guess I need to go test it out.

I'm not telling you Chris what you should choose, really. It is just what the German drivers tell you when you discuss different car makes:
-- Nur Mercedes-Benz!

I took a ride on a Turbo Levo mid range model from our favorite LBS a couple of months ago and just couldn't believe it. It really is some piece of equipment, and I was just fooling around on a brushy hill behind the parking lot. Felt like pure quality the moment I got on it. My wife would shoot me down like a rabid dog if I rolled in on one of these things though, without a little preparation and propaganda work!

On the other hand, her aim isn't always so hot, so maybe it's worth a try.

LOL. I know, I've owned 6 of them - 3 of them were brand new. One was a collector car!
I started a spreadsheet sometime back and entered all the cars I've bought and sold over the years - nearly fifty cars and trucks, including some vintage and collector.
I don't have digital pics of my 1935 Chevrolet Pickup, but that was pretty cool.

Wife surely liked her C250 coupe! A mercedes benz makes you feel like a big-shot, even if you aren't. And the dealer spoils you rotten - they have the client-retention thing down pat.

I'm always surprised when wife is on board for all these hobby interests of mine. She thinks I should get a mountain bike, it's just coming to grips with the dollars at stake - they're a lot of money!
She likes that I do fun stuff instead of spending my time in a bar or on the sofa. Keeping active keeps you healthy and young at heart.

Your wife is a real treasure, Chris. Mine was similar...
