- Do E-bikes really give you the power to ride more trails? And will you get fat if you buy one? Lets find out by testing the Specialized Turbo Levo Comp at the Royal National Park Loftus.

As someone just getting into mountain biking in sydney i just wanted to say that im loving the channel!
Yew thanks 💪💪 Have fun out there
Nice work mate 🤘🏼
Was a bit shocked when it clicked that I was watching you coming down the s's!
Nice one dude! Great info in there
Glad you dug it ⛏️
Top video man 🤙
Thanks for watching 💪
So good
Thanks 👍
Nice!
Thanks!
A great Bike!
i have a specialized turbo levo comp 2020!
What would life be without a Turbo levo .))
Peace all
Lucky you. I've only sampled them but I'd love to add an ebike to my stable some time in the future. Thanks for watching!
Nice. And yo, the e bike. I’ve got an e bike to get to work. Be so cool for Amanda and I to have the e mountain bike option also. Summer is going to be brutal.... so I think the e mountain could be the solution. Will have to start saving. And I think that’s the bike. Cheers!
Check out the Levo SL, I thought it was even better. Still has plenty of power and it rides more like a regular bike. As for summer, you guys do know someone with a shuttle rack 😉😉
MTB McPhee will do with the SL. And yeah man shuttling!!!! We are always keen for that, hope the mountains if ya up there this weekend rocks
got me a Turbo Levo comp 21 in August.
change the 36 160mm to a 38 170mm with a olins coilshox in the rear, assegai front and dhr 2 in the back and enjoy your life.
Yeah that’d be a sick setup with coil and a bigger fork 💪
Nice mate, any chance of a “how to” on kiera barrel jump? Mill creek one was super valuable
Hah, thanks but I don't know those trails well enough for a how to. Will be doing one on Turps so hopefully that will translate to Barrel. I just roll into the berms slow and try not to brake :)
These ebike things will never take off! Great review mate. Take one to wicked wallaby or wonderland, that's where these bikes make the most sense IMO.
Destined to go the way of Beta Max and Laser Disk? I was hoping to hit wonderland on it but I ran out of time, would have been great with those nasty climbs!
Once battery technology improves and filters down ,they will sell.
I sat on one on the shop and it was a tank ,def wouldn’t buy one yet.
@@A.D.D.O.C.D.T yeah big steps every generation. The Levo SL was an eye opener for me, I'd love to see that motor/battery in a more aggressive enduro bike
The Levo is nice but imagine the Kenevo on wonny heights, all those hard climbs left in the dust and 180mm of buttery downhill goodness!
Working on that edit next... The Wonnie ride ended abruptly in a flat but Keira was epic
The tires are terrible. I put maxis dh2 on front and an agressor on the rear and it completely changed how the bike handled. Basically tons of grip
I got on with the specialized tyres pretty fine but it would be good to compare as I prefer maxxis as well 👍
You’ve converted haven’t you?
Is that an electricity pun? 😂
MTB McPhee Say watt?
They call them 'acoustic' bikes due to the noise from the poor riders whining about e-bikes.
Haha I’m one of those riders because I don’t own an eeb 😬
@@MTBMcPhee Lucky me :-) BTW regarding that comment you made about the power staying on after ceasing peddling, I have a theory that it might be related to the 'Acceleration' setting (in Mission Control app). If it's set very high, any unintended pressure on the pedal may be causing power to be applied. I reduced mine down and the issues with power in tight bits that I had went away.
@@Swaggerlot good to know. I didn’t have time to play around with the app but I will if I get the chance to ride one again
