Interesting bike at 3D Printing Show in Germany - has Brose developed a Gearbox Motor ?

I have had my Levo for 5 years now, and the motor power was noticeably reduced with every firmware update - and when finally it needed a replacement motor (after nearly 4 years), the power was even less. Of course these power reductions were intentional, in order to lengthen motor life, but it...

I prefer Hybrid Assist as well. The "feel" is good, but as expected the maximum capability is less than my Turbo Levo - however I usually ride the TSDZ2 eMTB on less technical trails (partly because of the reduced ground clearance), which I would never use Boost on the Levo on anyway.

Yes, I've done that.

250wh - good for around 35 km, and a spare is light enough to carry in a backpack if required.

Non-drive side

I built this during Lockdown to see whether a 16.5kg eMTB was a good idea - and it is.

Just disconnect (or even take off) the throttle, only use it in the lower/mid power setting, and ride considerately.

Some previous discussion about this, but mostly about grips, bar angle, fork setup, tyre pressure etc - but none of it explains why it happens more on eMTB's. My theory is that because you don't put as much force downwards into the pedals when riding eBikes compared to analogue bikes, the...

I agree - the belt tensioner needs to be far better resolved for eMTB's.

BikeBug have a further 25% off the already discounted 50% price - AU$5654 for a Cyon Halo !

Mine did too

I had exactly the same issue with my 2019 Levo a couple of years ago - initially the battery cable was replaced but to no effect, so then they gave me a new TCU, and it's been fine ever since.

I also have a 2019 Levo, which finally needed a new motor a couple of months ago - and the new motor is definitely noisier than the original one . . . not an unpleasant noise, but slightly annoying nonetheless.

Oval Chainrings are not for mid-motor eBikes

In some respects an eBike mid-motor is the equivalent of the Bottom Bracket in an Analogue Bike - it is treated as a single component which is specifically warranted for 4 years (Specialized don't repair Brose Motors, they replace the whole unit). If the Bottom Bracket of an Analogue Bike...

That's exactly what I did @Zimmerframe - and now I have a new motor after 3 years and 11 months with the original one.

2019 Levo purchased 3 years and 11 months ago finally needed a new motor this week !
