Been loving using the eMTB to explore Mt Wellington this Winter. The mountain is often closed to vehicles due to ice and snow, so you pretty much have it to yourself in the mornings until the road is cleared.
I've been riding a 2017 Levo, and a 2019 Levo from Cranke in Hobart (disclaimer: I work there! We hire eMTB, MTB, road bikes, vans, utes, bike trailers, bike racks etc as well as run eMTB tours)
It's usually cold and windy on the exposed summit, minus 15 to minus 20 factoring in wind chill, with ice growing off everything. The cold doesn't seem to effect the battery life that much. It's more the extra load of pushing through deep snow that chews it up.
Anyhow, basically it's a shitload of fun and a great way to roam around the mountain in Winter. I usually take in some South Hobart trails on the way down. Lots of great stuff happening in the South Hobart area ATM!
Here's a few pics. More at
