andydude Posted October 31, 2018 Posted October 31, 2018 Exactly. And will be tough to pedal after the battery runs out!
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted October 31, 2018 Posted October 31, 2018 Shouldn't this be under chit chat seeing as a motorbike was stolen??
Shebeen Posted October 31, 2018 Posted October 31, 2018 interesting, since the Levo has an app that is required to operate the thing. can spez track it down when it's next paired? would be kind of obvious to build that sort of theft protection in.
bikebloke Posted October 31, 2018 Posted October 31, 2018 im sure somewhere in a stolen bicycle chop shop in cape thief town a bunch of scumbags are standing around saying " ag nee man what is this thing nou " remember a Thule bike rack is a Kaapse takeaway counter
Kranswurm Posted October 31, 2018 Posted October 31, 2018 This is quite a high ticket item.If there is a market for other high end bikes this will fly as well.No problem buying a charger

You don't need the app. It's only there for more functionality and changing settings.

There are only about 30 Specialized shops in SA which would have to get them in. Not sure if the chargers are being posted to sell second hand though.

Not sure if the chargers are being posted to sell second hand though.Spez should take an oath to only sell chargers to people that can prove they own the bike with either the original invoice or signed letter from seller confirming the sale of the bike as secondhand .... although what does the plug in look like ? You could prolly find an old laptop charger that'll do the job
johannrissik Posted October 31, 2018 Posted October 31, 2018 “ Spez” and ”oath” in the same sentence? ????

dev null Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 When the Thule salesman showed me how my new Thule rack allows bikes to be locked on rack, I told him to skip that part of the presentation, as the locks are worthless. I swear that if the take the locks off, less bikes will get stolen. But then again, stupid can't be fixed.
