Levo Gen 2 How many Levo motors have you had?

On second motor. 2020 Turbo Levo Comp, purchased in Dec. 2019. 800 miles and motor went out 4 weeks ago.
10 days to get bike back. Was told motor is new, but once I started riding, noticed motor is louder then motor that came with bike.
anyone notice new motor being louder then original motor? Is there a break in period with a new motor.

Early 2020 (bought November 2019) still on original motor after 1300 miles.
 
2300 miles. Same Motor. Use Turbo mode all the time, use too high of a gear regularly, do a lot of standing pedalling on the climb with low RPM. Muddy conditions. Washed with pressure washer - full pressure on the tyres but only low pressure on the frame and componants. It's never seen dust (very wet Summer/Autumn this year and it's north west England)
 
Did about 900kms on my 2020 Levo Expert, motor died about 2 weeks ago after 4months. Motor still worked in walk mode but torque sensor was stuffed in the motor.

2 weeks later I new motor and new cables for everything. Hopefully no more problems.
 
Lost one motor due to failed Prague clutch at 3200 kms. Shop replaced whole motor very quickly and efficiently but I’m a bit nervous about repeats given a 3000km bikepacking trip next March

Impressive. Wish I had your motor ?
 
2500 miles now no problem with the motor but I'm getting my first electrical issue with the bike now - Battery errors and taking about 30 attempts to start up if it's not been used for a couple of days or more
 
May 2020 Levo with April 2019 motor; 1800 miles, loads of low cadence 'make the legs burn' climbing, and first motor. Have been on motor fw 6.1 until last week.
 
Levo S Works May 2019: 4.800 km - first motor - no problems.
(mainly trails in the woods and above - but carefuly operated)
 
Don't blame you I've only had one in a year an a half don't think I would cope with three. Did you lose a fortune .
Not too much being honest...but happy its finally gone. Looking into Santa now...will see...still having a 2020 Cube as back-up, which is solid and does what it is built for, bombarding the tracks (-:
 
2018 levo sworks - 1 battery, 1 motor
2019 levo comp - 1 battery, 1 motor
2020 SL - so far so good
 
Im on my 5th motor now. Cant belive Specialized has not sorted out the Brose yet.!!
Just back from ride had to change plans it started slipping then spinning only when you stop peddling and start again. Pressume that's another motor going number 2 done about 470 miles on this one got 2600 first one crap that
 
5th motor went this weekend on my Levo, same issue as in the past, belt slippage...650 miles on this motor that was just installed in October 2020, build date on motor was July 2020....outside of brakes and chain ring, bike is stock.

How old is bike ? That's horrendous.
 
Bike was bought new in August 2019 and had a February 2019 motor in it. BTW, the bike was up to date on all the software as well!
Mine June 19 .Just spoke to bike shop he reckons it's Pawls on freehub not motor . Know more tomorrow after daylight. Minus 4 yesterday so could have frozen I hope he is right.

My '19 and my '20 Levo, 9000 miles between them, I've had 12 motors. Yes 12. They've lasted as long as 1200 miles, but the latest 3 motors went no more than 800.
Mind you I bought the '20 as a spare, and it's a good thing, cause Id be without a bike every month practically.

For the record, I love the bikes. I'm not complaining.
 
2019 Levo - motor failed with a few hundred ks on the clock - sold it immediately after motor replacement.
