That was definitely interesting. Looks like that bike is going to help keep your cardio working.

@@phedoraoduane4320 it’s a good time, and hopefully it keeps me in shape some, still a lot to figure out about this thing.

Just got me and my wife Tubo Levo Comps 2.5 wks ago. They make climbing fun! The extra weight provides stability. Still get an awesome workout. Better for the heart to stay in zone 2 and 3 for longer periods which the Ebike allows. Going 1.5x-2x the distance in the same time as on my Stumpjumper. >90% of my riding has been in Eco which I've tuned to 15%/25% assist. I use Trail mode only for long or steep climbs or when I'm completely gassed. Turbo mode is ridiculous power! For those that say always ride in Turbo, I say buy a motocross motorcycle instead 😂 As a couple in our early 60s the Levo's will open up a whole lot more riding opportunities and new places for us to visit. Regarding the grips we changed them out for Ergon ga3 which provide much better comfort with palm support. You might like those. Enjoy your Levo!

@@andy5478-MTB man I love this comment thank you. So glad you guys are out enjoying the trails together, and ripping a couple of Levo’s. And yes every time I try to put it in turbo and go climb I always end up dropping it back down so I can get a good workout in. Same with me it’s so fun getting some help from the motor so I can get in a few laps, I’m always exhausted when I’m done with the Levo. Thanks again for watching, see you on the trails 👍👍.

Keep it in Turbo, treat those up hill rides like downhill, work on your e-bike technique. Ride your analog when you want to sweat.

[@fivetwentythreemtb]

@@ianrenomtb great idea, and I think that will be the plan for the future. I definitely have a lot to figure out about this thing. Thanks.

[@peterthomson6161]

Why did you get a ebike?

[@fivetwentythreemtb]

@@peterthomson6161 that’s a good question, basically I wanted to try one, and hopefully it will help get me outside more. The research I had done you can still get a great workout and get a few laps in, and I’m the type that really enjoys the downhill. So far I like it more than i thought I would.
