First Ride: The 2020 Specialized Turbo Levo SL Weighs Only 38 Pounds

You obviously have no clue what an e-mtb is. Let me explain to you once and for all. An ebike is pedal assisted, a moped is not, it only has at throttle that adjusts the speed. WIth an ebike you have to pedal for the motor to assit you. You can choose how much help you want through choosing eco, trail or turbo. You can keep the assist low so you have to work hard, or get turbo boost and coast along. Get it now? And please go and try one before you knock it.

Being an oldie i remember when the Klein Adroit came out, all xtr´d up and with smahing colors. It was a far away dream for me as a poor smelly stundent. You could have made the same list with that bike. :) There will allways be bikes that cost a fortune.

Pinkbike Poll: Do You Ride a Hardtail Anymore?

Remembering my first real mt.bike was a Cannondale M700, with the rigid peperoni fork and Coda cantilevers :) the worst brakes in mt.biking history! If it rained, all you could do was hold on for your dear life and white nuckle it down the trail. Steep learning curve though ???? The funny thing is that 30 years later there are now cruix that i rode back then, where I bail out on riding my full sus with 150 mm and xtr hydralic brakes tioday. I guess age and remembering my airborn flights over handelbars are holding me back. Happy days ????
