Man. Wow, what a great video. Loved how smooth those runs were. The bike was solid. Please post more with the ebike. I have one and I will be taking to Whistler next time, this changed my perspective!
Good man, I only got into MTB 12 months ago and ended up getting an emtb. I'm older so wanted something easier on the climbs, can feel the weight but I watched Danny MacAskill and saw how he could throw it around so I approached the emtb differently and got more physically with it. I give it more muscle to throw it around now. As another commenter mentioned motorx, I think emtb is is an inbetweener for riding technique.
Ive got the range A2 and its been incredible for DH tracks, If I had 200mm front rear that would be most ideal but its honestly super close to a dh bike in feeling. Very planted and very fast. Gotta show the people the weight doesn't matter 😅 cheers
in my opinion i don't get why people are scared of the last jump, the stepdown before scares me instead, i found that you have to really give the stepdown a good pull otherwise you nose dive, the last jump is by far the best jump on earth.
Nice, I don't regret buying mine. I still like having the regular bike, but I feel like I can do anything on the E-bike that I can do on the regular bike. Maybe a bit more sluggish/cumbersome in tighter trails and jumps, but you get used to it.
@@samsherwoodrides your line is just so clean and direct. No need to worry about what angle you’re taking, or adjusting at last second. Looks like you sent it pretty damn good🤟. Gonna have to try it next summer.
I'm 5'10", 1.78 meters. It's a medium. I've since sold it and now have a Transition Repeater. Both are fun. If you like jumping and bouncing around, the repeater is better. If you like rock gardens and going fast, the Range is better.
Great stuff here. Done Crabapple and DM on an Enduro bike, do you feel more stable with the added weight from the ebike? How does the ebike handle berms and landings weight may make it feel harsher 🤷🏻♂️?
Id say it feels a little more stable in the air. The landings are more stable if its a good landing, but if you come up short or go long, you can feel the added weight. Big bike park corners aren't an issue, but if its tight and steep, you feel the weight.
Not on that one. It's a bit of work to get the battery out. Only one I know of that you can is the Transition Relay. It's not a full power E-bike, but my friend has one and keeps up ok. He has to work a bit harder on the climbs.
Some of us who are wanting to pull the pin on the same bike all probably asking the same question... How the bike look, ride and sound after all the big hits. Still holding up to the bike it's supposed to be?
It held up well until I sold it. Now I have a Transition Repeater. The Transition is more lively feeling on jumps. The Norco does better on fast tech. It's more of a monster truck. But I think the Repeater is more fun for the riding I do most.
It's sort of an automatic response to try and not be stiff in the air. Also just trying to learn how to do bigger whips. Whips are mostly just for looks, but there is an awkward stage when they don't quite look stylish. But it's necessary to keep doing them to learn big ones.
It's not as bad as you would think. If I were more daring, I could have thrown it out a lot more. The bike was not the limiting factor in whip size here. You don't notice the weight as much when you are in the air. It's more noticeable on the landings, in the corners, and when braking down hill. You feel it a bit in the air, but the heavy battery and motor are low in the frame, so it helps keep the center of gravity lower.
Yea I’m my opinion if your an experienced rider and above 120lbs the added weight to the bike will not make a difference. I personally don’t have one but have rented them at parks and within a run you can get used to it and do exactly what you can with a pedal bike
Great video. I've had a Levo for just about a year now and wouldn't trade back to an analog bike. I've been riding for decades and have never had this much fun on a mountain bike.
@@steve4296 me neither! Been riding ebikes since early 2018 and have taken a lot of arrows, evil eye and BS for a long time. Glad to see sooo many people finally coming around to accepting ebikes. I haven't ridden my analog bike ever since and why would I.
Great video but please dont take my comment personal , to all the mountain guys out there please dont allowed this electric crap to creep in , seems to be its getting everywhere nobody wanna put in pedal work anymore , please
You do realize you’re commenting on a video taken at a lift accessed bike park where the vast majority ride a lift to the top, meaning zero pedaling, correct?
@@canieto1yea i meant having electric stuff out there , maybe im old school and new gens new ways and new gadgets , will take over i guess now its more comfort in everything , i guess no pain no gain its a thing off the past
@@mosaclipz6549 thanks man , i appreciated reply im assuming u understood wat im trying to say nothing agains ur video ur rad electric or any waz just my 2 cents be safe
