Hey all, long time lurker, first time poster.

I've had my Turbo Levo for around 3 years now, 2021 base model, had a new motor & battery last year just before warranty ran out and now I'm looking to make some upgrades, bike sizing and standards are quite alien to me so just looking for some assistance when it comes to sizes etc...

Noticed that the headset appeared to be creaking on a ride last week, stripped down, cleaned but it looked beyond its best so I was looking into an upgrade, potentially Chris King - has anyone done this? Is it worth it? If so which one of the HUNDREDS on the website did you use? - I've found this one... Is the right one?

Also, I think the forks are prime for an update, thinking Fox 36 or 38 again, I've been looking for a set but was just hoping to confirm steerer tube size before pulling the trigger on these - Fox 38's listing says 1.5" steerer, is that the right size? I've had a good search round and found conflicting info as to what size is needed.

Tapered steerer. Beefy fork - a 38 would be the better choice. Chris King headsets are overrrated - Cane Creek delivers equal or better performance for 30-50% less cost.
