Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 Are they available in SA? I've only ever seen the Levos here... If I were to get an e-bike that would be top of my list too. Some 2.8" Butcher tyres and coil suspension front and rear mmmmm Nope.
L.T.G Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 Hard times create strong men. Strong men create easy times. Easy times create weak men. Weak men create e-bikes.I'm the weakest in the easiest of times....and bliksem it's fun!!!! Duane_Bosch and AllAboutRides 2

Eldron Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 Just had a disturbing thought - anyone want to hazard a guess at how long it will be before a normal mountain bike race will be called an "unplugged" race? With my current view of the human race probably not too long... Melodramatic Eldron is seriously concerned that this is the future of our species: Hairy, shaper, gogo@ and 3 others 6

Hairy Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 Spez is enjoying fuelling the rage  ok .... all I get from that is that I am now putting Rage Against the Machine on my playlist for the rest of the day ... that is about it Patchelicious, EmptyB and PhilipV 3
Grease_Monkey Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 Well that settles that, a Turbo Levo with a Fox 49 - that makes sense. But let's be honest... that's as close as you get to an MX bike without getting an MX bike. Maybe I should just buy a KLX450 again. Hairy 1
Grease_Monkey Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 On a serious note, one thing that he mentioned which rings very true for me is this.... "Embrace it as an entirely new sport." That is the core of this argument, most people are cool with e-bikes as long as they are not raced with normal bikes. If we embrace it as a new sport amentirely it makes that whole argument null and void because tennis and squash is not played on the same court, neither is rugby and football. So by that logic e-bikes and mtbs certainly should not be raced together. Now, I'm not gonna go as far as to say they don't belong on he se trails because trail runners and mtbers have been sharing trails in harmony (mostly), so the same can be done with mtbs and e-bikes. Hell, if it is seen as a different sport alltogether I might be able to put my shame aside and buy myself a bad-ass levo with a DH fork - makes me all tingly just thinking about it!! shaper, Hairy and L.T.G 3

Go for an Alta and do it properly.Â
