We’re up & running RE: any & all Ebikemotion drivetrain-equipped bikes

The World's Lightest road e-bike is the Ribble:

Ribble Endurance SL e

E-BIKE Previously unimaginable mountain passes, struggling to keep up on hilly group rides and the routes that take you outside your comfort zone are now in the past - Make it possible with the Ribble Endurance SL e
www.ribblecycles.co.uk www.ribblecycles.co.uk

It is based on ebikemotion.

My question: is there a way to configure a remote near the hoods that controls the level of assist (e.g., cycles through none and the 3 levels)? This has been worked out for the Specialized Creo as a DIY, but that bike does not use ebikemotion.

Nice ride, but definitely not the world’s Lightest Ebike... ;)

This 15-lb electric bicycle set a world record and pushes the limits of e-bike construction

We’ve seen lightweight e-bikes before, but none have ever approached the 15.15-lb (6.872 kg) Freicycle electric bike built by mechanical...

Wow, that bike weighs less than my carbon fiber Cervelo! Geez, that is amazing. Just think of riding that, you could never use the motor until you hit a hill and only need it then. If the battery dies, so what it's still lighter the vast majority of bikes and the friction drive disengages so no drag.

A pretty interesting project for his Ph.D.

Check the links to these posts [https://electricbikereview.com/forums/search/1196782/?q=coachsmart+lev&o=date], which indicate the the o-synce Coachsmart LEV computer can do what you want, including moving both up and DOWN between adjacent levels (e.g., from level 3 to level 2). I've got one on order from Bike24 [https://www.bike24.com/p2221461.html]. Also available directly from o_synce [https://www.o-synce-shop.de/shop/en/bike-computers/coachsmart/105/coachsmart-lev] at higher cost. You will also want to order whichever mounting option is appropriate to your needs; several options shown at Bike24.

I suspect it requires the ANT+ conversion kit [https://wilier.com/en/products/int/accessories/ant-conversion-kit-mahle-x35-ebikemotion-system]. Not sure if my Pinarello Dyodo (the arrival of which I'm anxiously awaiting) has ANT+, but suspect it doesn't. I'll find out soon enough....

Did you had the chance to install and test this solution ? What's your feedback ?
Thanks
