Where did you find this bike in BC? Also at what weight do you think kids need the suspension? My daughter is 3.5 and still under 30lbs but loves shredding trails. Thanks!

I have a 22 model levo alloy and being in my mid 50s was a good entry level model as I hadn't ridden a push bike since my teens as I had always had dirt motorbikes. Its great to see if you want to continue riding emtb and later step up to better models of give it away. For me I'm happy just to be out there now with this and not pushing to 11/10ths of risk anymore 😂

Hi, currently torn on the Prevelo Zulu 3 and the Giant STP 20 for our soon to be 6 year old. Of course the price point of the Prevelo is slightly higher (about £100 GPB difference with various deals in the UK) - Wondered what your thoughts were as a comparison?

Our TC fork lockout stopped working and now leaking a little oil out of the bottom on the rebound knob. Do you think a rebuild will solve this or indicative of a much bigger issue?
@TheBikeDads
@TheBikeDads Месяц назад
It’s easy to pull apart. You’ll need a new seal by your rebound knob if it is leaking. Call Brett at Trailcraft. He is an awesome guy.

I just racked up 4500 miles on my bike. Then I had to rebuild the motor, replaced all the bearings in my rear hub, installed a new cassette, new chain, new front chain ring, new tires, new valve stem. Back on the road $1600 later! And before that I upgraded my suspension to coil front and back and built my own wheels and upgraded my brake rotors. The bike is an absolute blast but if you ride them hard they are effing money pits!

I've just got a shotgun and it is not good at all. I've got an XXL frame and I can put the kid seat too near to the front. So during small (15°) turn the bar is hitting the 3 yo kids knee which makes this not work. In this video the top and bottom tube angle is small and those are close to each other. Take this in consideration before trying this seat. Maybe I could sell it in marketplace. :(

I’m torn between the s3 and s4 I’m 5’ 8” 1/2 on the specialized page I’m kinda in between also I’m seeing people talk about being in between and they recommend going smaller! I’m in north Mississippi so terrain is probably below average for what the bike could handle thoughts s3 vs s4??

With ebikes, we always sized down if in between sizes. It makes the heavier bike more manageable and the downside is very minimal, if at all.

Hi, Woom is spoken like Vroom in German. The Austrian Dad, that designed the bike for his son, said that his son was always saying Vroom, when riding his bike or running around somewhere. Our twins are turning 3 this year and we'd like to get them the Woom 2. Looks like your little shredder really loved his Woom 2 bike. What's he riding today (March 2024)?
