Hope you are stopping up at Everstoke this trip West? Dabble in some trail building? Oh and Tommy!

I'm 71 yrs. old and swapped my SC 5010 for a Specialized Turbo Levo a couple of months ago. I find that I can ride about twice as long and explore more territory and If I ride in Eco mode (lowest power) I can still get a great workout. The surprise for me is the way that it takes on janky uphill sections so well and I love riding uphill switchbacks on it. It's a bit long legged and heavy so it took some time to get used to riding tight downhill switchbacks. Love it!

@@HD6SOCCER OK , you sound young and angry, let me fill in some blanks for you. I started mountain biking in 1987 (riding rigid, not even a suspension fork) and started entering races in 1990. I did well until I quit the NORBA race circuit in around 2002. I've lived longer than I expected so I'm old now. I bought the ebike so that I can have a little help riding the trails I've been riding all these years. I ride mostly in eco mode and I don't damage trails any more than people on regular bikes. I'm 6 feet tall and I weigh in at 170 pounds. I ride the trails at least 4 times a week and I lift weights every other day. Fat? Not compared to the majority of Americans.

I totally understand why so many trails are kept secret and you know for a fact some of these people would never MTB if it wasn’t for e bikes making the climbs accessible because they are just lazy

I truly feel like mountain biking has saved my life and I believe the ebike I got for my father is extending his life. Thanks for the awesome videos!

The C1 EMTB has been a blessing for me after breaking my back and for my wife after L5S1 fusion. We both love exploring our limits on the bikes. We met doing century rides in Germany in the late 80s. As we get older some of our abilities lessen. This has helped us to take back some of the things we love. Any day on the bike is a good day.

I wasn't riding as much during covid due to being as icu nurse working 5 12hr night shift and having rheumatoid arthritis. Lost what little fitness i had and gained 30lbs. Finally bought an ebike last year. Now even working 60hr a week and knee pains, I can go out and ride. Even back to pre-covid weight.

Honestly.... This looks beautiful. I love how the vibe they're going for. It looks styled after a supercar. Looking forward to the evolution of ebikes

Had a Levo since end of 2016. To me ebikes are more versatile for training. You could set the power settings to feel like the weight of a regular bike on eco mode. There are apps that can change the power setting based on your heart rate. Legs get to tired and lungs start to hurt, put it in turbo mode and have a blast.

I have an orbea rise and I love how light it is. When the motor is turned off it's basically a non-carbon bike weight-wise. Definitely agree with the versatility on being able to choose the assist level and sometimes it actually gives me confidence to go farther with low to no assist (e.g. eco) since I'm confident that even if I'm exhausted, I can still get back home by turning the assist to high.

Thanks for the awesome video Brian. Much appreciated. I fell in love with the Hakka this year. There is just something fun about a sub 20 Lbs bike. Easy to ride, easy to transport, easy to store. Love to see you ride that same route on yours sometime too👌

Awesome, glad to see you got a class-1 eMTB. I want to get one myself some day (it's the money that gets in the way). Looking forward to your eMTB adventures, Brian !

I would have never imagined that you would have an EBike! 😂 they are loads of fun!

63 years young and more than a few knee surgeries and my Kenevo SL keeps me riding blue and some blacks. I have an acoustic for the gravity parks and places that discriminate against us old people on eMTB’s. Yes, Class 1 should be legal on MTB trails. My Kenevo can usually pass as an acoustic with the smallish down tube minimalist motor. A lot of the mid assist bikes are very stealth. I just ordered an Orbea Wild to have a full assist big battery.

I started mountain biking in 1998 and recently due to a bad knee went to a ebike. I'm back on the trail...cheers!

Holy Hell! My old self found a new muse without even watching the video! The title was enough. I'm fully awake! Continue!

You can definitely hear how heavier this bike is while you're riding!! Can't wait to see what more you can do with this on future videos!!!

By state law, in Arkansas ebikes are legal anywhere a regular bike is legal. So ride Bentonville and surrounding area. on the Oso all you like.

I'm going hold you on taking a quick spin B. & I have to believe that Ibis sent Sarah an E Bike as well if not at least you'll be able to keep up with her now. 👍 Great Video

Really great to see this EMTB video! and thanks for the great mood boosts mine a lot! By the way EMTB's are great you are 4x yourself on those things!

"I think a class one e-bike should be allowed anywhere a regular mountain bike is allowed to go" I couldn't agree more. I love riding my Rail-7 but I don't ride any more or faster than I did my hard tail Litespeed 25 years ago. The problem we face is both ignorance and stubborn ideas of what mountain bike is and how people believe our sport and/or nature should only be enjoyed the way they do it.

The bike looks awesome. I’d like to see Ibis integrate the display/controller into the top tube the way specialized did. Busy cockpit and looks like it would be pretty easy to break in a crash.

I agree that an integrated system is the way forward. The bracket for the kiox is brittle to say the least. It is also much longer than it needs to be.

E-bikes increase trail traffic with riders who are usually NEWer to riding. This overcrowds trails and increases trail damage (widening). The other big problem with E-bikes is the FIRE risk.

For Ibis' first foray into the eMTB world that's a really great looking bike. The price of admission is steeper than most would be able to afford, including myself. The weight penalty vs. a Ripmo AF would be hard to swallow for me personally. At nearly 1/3 my body weight that's a lot to throw around on trail. Nice that the Oso retains the DW Link, and has a bit more travel than the Ripmo v2 or AF. Maybe one day when I get a big boy bank account...

When I demoed an e-bike i loved the uphill aid of course but the downhill was just no fun. with the bike being so heavy i wasnt able to ride playfully down the tech and trail features. And I only used 3% battery!! I would love to be on a 35lb ebike haha. lighter motor and wayyyyy less battery capacity for me. Glad you finally got one though. This should help showcase some amazing adventures on that.

recently for my 55th birthday i purchased my 1st ebike …norco sight vlt…after 20yrs of pedalling high end santa cruzs it was time for me to give up all those anti ebike ideas i had…and as others have found out you actually have to pedal but the uphills turn into feature that you actually look forward to…instead of grinding your knees and torturing your body…its been a revelation to a new form of mtnbiking for me….

Nice bike, I just recently started to look around for a good but cheap ish e-mtb. It would be cool to see you out in Simi Valley again on some steep loose and rocky sections.

A tip for chain cleaning/lubing. Take a 6 to 8 inch length of double sided hook and loop (velcro tm) strip and pass it behind a chain ring spider arm then spin the crankarm around so that you can wrap the crankarm with the velcro thus locking the crankarm to the chainring spider and you will be able to spin the chain backwards.

I put a short 5mm hex in one of the chainring bolt holes…rotate the crank backwards until it hits!

One of these will definitely be in my garage at some point in the future. Maybe for my 50th bday in 8yrs. By then the tech should be dialed and the price within reason. 11k is just absurd. On a side note I'm riding Kanuga for the first time this weekend and I'm seriously considering an ebike rental. Endless laps does sound fun!

That's just the embargo lifting.

To lube the chain, stick an Allen wrench (4mm I think) into one of the front chainring mounting bolts and back the crank against it. This allows you to free wheel the chain backwards to lube the chain. Works great! Nice video! Love my Levo. It’s all I ride and everyday is a “good” day on the Levo even though I may not have ridden for a while or something hurts (I’m 55). I track my heart rate and im in the exertion zone, so I’m getting a good workout. I have so much fun riding it, it just doesn’t feel like a workout which is the best kind! Makes me want to ride more. Sure it’s not the same as a regular bike, but I’m not training for a race. I want fun and exercise and the ebike is the best of both to me. And I don’t have to load up a dirt bike and drive 5 hours to great trails. I have great trails right down the road from where I live.

Just grab the chainring itself and rotate it counterclockwise. No need for anything additional.

Pretty sweet ride!

I've had an Orbea Wild FS for 2 yrs now. Luckily all of TN is "inclusive". I now ride 2-5x more miles per trip and definitely more elevation. And I can keep up with groups now.

At 62 I love my ebike can ride up hills again that were getting just a bit to hard and ride more trails.Still have a hardtail though which I love

I switch between an ebike and regular bike. After throwing the ebike around on tech trails the regular bike feels effortless to pop over stuff.

Damnnnn that looks so good

the first corner where you smiled :))

Tip: take a hex key and insert (wrapped with a paper towel) into one of the open slots on your chainring. Reverse the crankarm to meet the wrench and then you can spin 'backwards' to lube your chain and such.

Can’t wait to try it out🤘🏽

Never thought I’d see you with an ebike. Now I want to see some epic climb challenge vids 👍🏻

I don't love riding e-Bikes, but it is nice to see DW on something other than a Shuttle. I might try to get a demo on one of these once demos start picking up again. Regarding fitness boosts from e-Bikes; I've demo'd a few of them. Most of them have pedal assist that requires some higher cadence for full boost. I had to maintain 75-90rpm to get the full boost when I rode my local loop. I did shave 14 minutes off my best time of 1hr3min, but there were still singlespeeders that had times faster then my ebike time. When I got done with the ride, my lungs were burning. No, they aren't the same as unassisted bikes, but the idea that they require little to no effort, (or are "motorcycles,") is idiotic.

Brian, come ride that thing with me at SoMo. They love e bikes here on my home trails! National on repeat!

I like ebikes. It's gotten more people into the spot of mountain biking and they are great for commuting. But please don't tell me they aren't just flat out faster. They definitely give a boost to power outside the realm of human capably. I'm a ok mountain biker, I race XC and do a bit of swift in the winter. My FTP is 250W. If I could add 250W to my FTP that... would be impossible. Even with the added weight of the bike you're still going to climb better than just about anyone. Even a beginner with an ebike can put out Tour De France level numbers. For reference, an absolutely incredible FTP would be anything over 400W and an average mountain biker whole has been riding for many years can do anything over 200W. With an ebike you could easily reach a combined total power over a ride of well over 400W

Cadence is important on ebikes. Higher cadence makes the motor run more efficient and battery last longer.

The power meter shows your power. The Bosch app can upload to Strava as well.
