GREAT video! Would love to hear opinions from the riders on which bike they prefer for their riding style. Would also like to see the MRSP of each bike. Lastly, I hear a lot of reviews say that if you’re on the bigger side (I’m 200 pounds) to just get a “regular weight” e-bike. What do you think? Subscribed. Strong work.
Thanks! MSRP on these bikes is constantly changing, but our website has the prices live there. I think a bigger e-bike could be a better idea for bigger riders, but I would choose your bike choice more based on the right geometry and travel for your area, and less on the weight. The Heckler SL, and the Levo SL would handle a bigger rider no problem! With them both having 150mm rear travel, they can handle bigger hits and rougher trail.
Nice reviews, thanks for that! Looking at the Santa Cruz as next e-bike, coming down from full power. Do you have concerns about the Fazua controls being flimsy, do you think they'll age well? Thanks! 👍
I personally really like the design of the control. It keeps the cockpit clean and it is intuitive to use. As for it being flimsy, it is made of plastic so a direct hit to hit may cause it to break, but in a crash, you'd be more likely to smack the brake lever than anything else. The control is also easy to replace, making it simple in the event you need to.
*Correction* Santa Cruz Heckler SL has 430Wh battery and not a 530Wh.

540 on the santa cruz?
@@bikemad If you are referring to battery watt-hours, the Heckler SL has 430.
