Incredibly helpful. Changing gears on Walk Mode and high gear on Walk Modes for uphill is hugely helpful.
Ive had my Levo for about 2 years. I would recommend two tips for beginners- make sure your suspension is set up properly (you will need to get a special pump from you dealer) and get a pair of proper mountain biking shoes - they have a much firmer sole which greatly improves power transfer to the pedal and also have a special grip which stops them slipping off the pedals. They will also give your foot a lot more support and protection than your standard footwear. Doing these two things greatly improved my riding performance and enjoyment.
What brand or type of mountain biking shoes do you recommend?
@@bbarr4377 FiveTen, Ride Concept, etc
I do lots of urban riding. When there are suspicious people at the signal light just run it when it's safe. Same for under a highway overpass at 5:00 in the morning. Just run it when it's safe. And when you come to a red light pop on the sidewalk. All ways keep three rear lights on your ebike. I have had two go out at the same time. USE tire slime in tube tires. Keep you from having flats and repairs them instantly. 99%. (Green stuff).
Pre order all the parts you think you will need. Especially your favorite tires. Learn how to charge your phone from your bike. You never know. Charge your bike after every ride. Immediately. Buy the best lock system you can afford. Ulock and cable combo probably best or close to it.
Don't under estimate easy stuff. One curb got me last week. Bloody ankle and knee.
Cheers
As David said below, walk mode air shifting, brilliant idea.
If your on even a slight downhill fire road or trail then try turning the motor off. Saves power and you find the weight of the bike will keep your momentum up.
I found on climbs that get progressively harder I get into my 3 easiest gear and eco mode to start then as it gets steeper I change the mode first (like a front derailleur) and keep changing that until I get the right amount of power then shift for smaller gradient changes. Its easier on the chain and cassette and you fuss less with shifting and focus on the feel of the climb more.
Great video. Thanks for the tips. Can see where I can improve
Thanks for the tips, really helpful for a beginner.
Love EMBN!
Walk Mode shifting is really a cool idea. Have to try it.
Possibly First?
Great tip for changing gears with walk mode... 'air shifting'
great to see more beginner based stuff.
These tips could’ve helped me prevent a couple crashes and bruises. They really do help keep your bike and skin from getting injured! 😊
The mistake I made with my new Turbo levo. Dont go riding on huge 20 miles loops 3 times a week cause your knee will give out on you due to overuse and you will be off the bike like me for 10+ days! Just take it easy at first and don't override cause then you'll be kicking yourself on a Friday afternoon when your buddies are going without you
So 60 miles a week will wreck you're knees? Think that's specific to you're ability
@@lordpoochalot yeah it's not the bikes fault, it's my physical capabilities showing their weaknesses. I just went on a 15 mile ride yesterday in tacky mud conditions and my knee feels fine today..
Eventually after some conditioning and persistence my body should hopefully be able to handle the big rides more frequently :)
I give these tips to all! new to e bike customers before and when they collect their bikes and normally again on the phone especially when t hey are crunching gears .
Nice vidéo
great, so what's the best cadence rate for the shimano EP8? heard it was between 80 and 90?
That first trail supernova my brother cam off three months back because someone cut back in the trail on the second jump dislocated clavicle 4 months off riding
How do you carry your spare battery when going out on a long ride.
Does anyone find their shocks on ebike less stiff? My ebike seems to vibrate more in the front than my previous XC bike .
I brought my first eMTB yesterday. 😳 this is strange
I bought an NCM Moscow going on 2yrs strong bike no breakdowns very quiet no maintenence rear hub motor
The 3 S's of shifting.. Surge, Slow Pedal, Shift
Yes!
I don’t notice any assist when I put my bike in walk mode (Shimano E8000 system on ‘20 Norco Sight C1 29). Same issue on my wife’s smaller version of exact same bike. To be honest, I’ve never really messed with it much..
Nice video - funny though not using walk mode while pushing bike explaining walk mode .... crank not turning ;-)
I’m struggling with the weight of the ebike and keeping it upright on corners and off camber trails, any hints?
I’m going to assume you’re going to slow if you have a problem keeping it upright. Think about how heavy a dirt bike is and no issues. Good MTB coaching can help a ton!
Wheel Barrow that's one to remember
What bike is he using?
New to eMTB? Wear some kind of shin pads. You will thank me when you get that first pedal strike when, your foot slips off on a technical section...
2:52 happened to me, broke my collarbone on multiple places.. pedal got stuck on a root before a jump.
Don't be like me..
I've never in my life Sen someone sit down going down or over something daft. Apart from bren messing about 🤣
Oh, I have.... even found myself doing it back in the day when I’ve slipped off a peddle on a root a few meters before. But not deliberately, no 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh higher gear for walk mode, thanks
Learn about the real range before going for a big ride. Returning home without assistance can be very challenging
bonne vidéo j ai le meme levo sl c est le top et tres joueur
Nic🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 0:13 0:14 0:14 0:14 0:14
When your new bike throw E010 fault out
All I took from this video was how bloody noisy that bike/motor is. Sounds like a bee buzzing around.
Drop your outside pedal in a flat corner.
All good but even top pros stop where they want all the time or ride back up them get a e bike and go explore bike parks aren't mountain biking to me all the yeah boy fist pumps and loam nare baby heads
its not realy for emtb only its also for mtb
Please, just do a video showing budget bikes with the best range - hardtails - with swap out batteries. Over trails. Most people watching this are NOT tearing through the woods and jumping.
Do you need to spend thousands on a bike if you're not doing backflips or big gaps?
This should be about ebikes, not bikes in general.

you forgot the worst mistake, of believing what kind of junk you are spreading
