When I get my turbo levo only one I'll put on low end is eco if I know my battery is low as a get home setting but trail I'll have on about 60 out of 100 and turbo I'm definitely putting on 100/100 at max possible output. Probably use trail unless I'm hill climbing

Great video. I'm looking at 2 bikes, one has Bosch CX GEN 4 the other Specialised 2.0 To me everything is equal between both bikes but one non-Specialised dealer advised against Specialised motors as they are unreliable and believes the manufacturer will fit 3rd party motors in the near future. I don't know if that was just a sales pitch to buy his bike. Are Specialised motors any less reliable? I hate taking advice from salesmen!

This was a great test! It would have been really interesting to see the rider power stats though. I know you tried to maintain a consistent HR but its hard to tell how many WH you contributed. The comparison i want to look at is the ep801 vs the specialized. The ep801 did 1700m 40min faster than the Levo did 1600. That means the 801 was pulling an average of 360w to the levos 230. who knows if those numbers were impacted by cheeky chats though 😄.

@michaeltiffe6341 7 сағат бұрын
Interesting but I would disagree. One element missing in the video is rider weight. Need to understand the impact on battery capacity. Myself, I am 57 and 230 lbs. Last March during a week long bike trip we rode at Ride Kanuga for of the 2 days. Each day was basically 1200 m of climbing and 32 kms pedalling up. An Ebike still seems to be a limiting factor on a full day of riding if it is done after approx 1600 m. I want more riding not the same amount in less time, I am away and the only thing on the agenda is riding for the full day for 5-7 days straight. We pedalled over 5000 m up that week, had a bit of a rest lift day there in the beginning of the trip on day 2. So the question is do I need 2 or 3 batteries each day?
@streddaz 3 сағат бұрын
@@michaeltiffe6341 if you still have strength in your legs, you can keep peddling, regardless if you have any charge in your battery. What Sam was doing was stopping as soon as the battery died, but if he wanted to he could have kept peddling. Rider weight does make a difference to the range, but as long as you are testing each bike with the same rider, the results will be reasonably consistent.

I get about 1 km per % battery on 32% boost on my Altitude. So up to 100 km per charge. I ride my 10 km technical trail up to 7 times on a charge. The bms drains the battery more than I like if it sits any length of time. I read the Overtime pack has to be charged often just to keep a charge on it even when not used. I just got one on the half price sale but haven't used it yet.

or use the two battery method . take an extra battery in panniers and ride until the first battery drops to say five or ten percent . then change batteries and ride back . this of course requires that you ride on equal ups and downs both ways or do your climbing on the first battery . that way you will be using less of the second battery on your return trip guaranteeing you make it back .

Dayum so this thing got 250m elevation per 100 Wh battery, compared to the 160-194m elevation per 100 Wh battery in the EP8/CX4/Brose/Syncdrive test. That's impressive, although if this thing did about 80% of the power output compared to the full power motors it would make sense.

@@SamsBikes no sorry it didn't come out the way I meant, I just had surgery I'm on 1 arm so type slow and short, broke my collarbone in bike crash. I meant like more data, like with your power/wattage. The wattage that was also coming from the motor, for instance on the Shimano 801, did you actually reach full cadence to get all the power from the motor and for how long, just some details like that to help paint the full picture. It was a good video and appreciate all the work you put in this. Also, not sure how official the start/stop of the timing was, I'm not even a Shimano 801 fan but something seems way off with that one.
