Yeah, that’s a shame. I would probably be a buyer if the newer motor was an option.

I still have my old Levo SL but I haven’t been on it in years. I miss it as well and was just thinking I need to take it out. It’s been a long time since I had the software in the SL updated. Any improvements in the past ~4 years that’s worth me bringing it to a shop? My biggest complaint was...

From what I can see on Specialized’s website the 1.2 SL motor has a significant bump in peak power output (320W vs 240W) and torque (45Nm vs. 35Nm). Yet I really don’t see anyone commenting on the stronger 1.2 motor vs. the original 1.1 motor. My only complaint with my 2022 SL Expert (1.1...

Definitely try the lightweight on an extended uphill climb before you make a decision. I love my SL but it feels like the motor gradually ramps down its output in extended uphill climbs. Recalibration has helped with this, but from my perspective it’s still lacking on uphill power. It’s really...

I have the issue even at the Turbo setting of 100/100. So unless you’re saying 40/100 will provide more output on inclines than 100/100, adjusting the Eco & Trail settings will not help.

I’m using 40/40, 65/65 and 100/100. Good suggestion about peak power for all assist levels, but I have this issue even on the 100/100 setting. I have no complaints about power assist on flats or even slight inclines, the issue is on 5% inclines or higher. It just feels like the motor...

Thank you, more incentive for me to try to figure this out. Just need to find a good Specialized dealer in my area.

Thought about that, but I prefer high powered dark roast coffee and I’m confident the caffeine in my brews will greatly eclipse any minimal contribution from my SL 1.1 on the inclines.

Agreed, that’s a good analogy that applies to the being in a gear too high scenario. But it seems to extend beyond that. I can barely notice a difference on inclines between the SL and my analogue MTB even when I’m in a proper gear with high cadence. I plan to bring mine in to a LBS to get it...

I get what your saying, but it’s not simply an inadequate amount of linear power output on inclines. I might not have adequately explained the issue above. Power output feels like it’s being severely ramped down on inclines, potentially even shutting off. Yes it will still climb if you pedal...

I’ve noticed the same thing, but can anyone explain why this is? The SL motor has torque as well as cadence sensors. While the power delivery is smooth and nuanced, as it should be with a torque sensor, it should also ramp up power as you apply more torque to the cranks, like when you hit an...

I just mounted 2.4” Maxxis DHR2’s on my 19mm inner width rims (front and rear), which is just within the WTB (and I believe the ETRTO) recommendations. I went with the Double Down versions, very thick sidewalls. The profile of the tire on the rim looks fine, the sidewalls are not bulging and the...

I can confirm the Blackburn Outpost Corner Bag unfortunately does not fit on a Medium Levo SL. Nice bag though if you can fit it.

I’m looking to put an aggressive MTB tire on a hub drive ebike that unfortunately has narrow rims (19mm inner width). The max recommended width tire for that rim is 2.44”. However, the ones I would prefer (Maxxis DFH & DHRII) only come in 2.3” (which I feel is too narrow for my purposss) and...

Thanks. That actually looks like the Blackburn “Outpost Corner Bag”. Their frame bags are all significantly larger. Their small frame bag is 13”+ long. That corner bag looks great though. Just ordered one.

Pedal-Man, would you mind clarifying where you mount the Blackburn Outpost frame bag on your SL? Maybe I’m dense. but even the small is twice the size of the frame opening on my SL (Medium).

Great thread with good options but I’ll add another complicating variable. My wife (<5’) needs a Class 2 (PAS with throttle). That eliminates most of the suggestions above. Is anyone aware of any Class 2 ebikes out there (FS and/or fat tire) with extremely low stand over heights (or step...

Thanks, good to know, scratched off the list as an option for my wife. Don’t think any FS bikes will work for her small size.

Yeah, the dealer just had a hunch that the original factory upload might have been corrupted, or the factory calibration was off. I’m actually happy with the paint on my SL. One other suggestion. Make sure your dealer uses your actual wheel size during the programming and calibration…tell them...

My 2022 Levo SL was way low on power until my dealer did a complete upload of the firmware/software and went through the recalibration process. What a difference. It’s like a different bike. He first tried just doing an incremental update, that made no difference. A full upload and...
