Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 18, 2018 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldron Posted June 19, 2018 Share 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: shaper, IH8MUD, Headshot and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grease_Monkey Posted June 19, 2018 Share 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.

Grease_Monkey Posted June 19, 2018 Share 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!!

Go for an Alta and do it properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
