    Big guy, which motor might be best?

    Big guy here, gone from a 19 Ali Levo with 5k all year round off-road miles, to a 22 Ali Levo. As I’m happy with their performance, excellent handling & real world reliability. No fan boi, as I’d never had a spesch previously, just great bikes.

    Most discreet way of carrying tools and tubes on your bike?

    Limited to ppl running dual clamp... Watching the mud yutters on YT, I noticed one of the guys (sans back pack) carries a pump and tool bag of some sort in front of his headstock, though he is riding a Kenovo with dual clamps, looks like a nice simple/clean setup (nasty screen shot, but you get...

    Levo Gen 3 Your first ride impressions Levo Gen 3

    Got mine out for it 1st ride yesterday, but have been riding my friend for the last 2wks, so knew what to expect. I’ve come from a gen2 levo & though heavier, the gen3 rides so much lighter. Did 5000miles (90% off road), so was very happy with my old one, but a single quick test of my friends...

    My 2016 Levo motor could be dead beyond repair :-( BUT could I convert the frame into a standard non ebike ?

    It’s worth approaching specialized about a motor replacement under their Assisted Replacement if the worst comes to the worst, as they ’cover’ the motor for 5 years. You won’t get a free replacement but they should be able to supply a motor. Seen someone post that they got a new motor & battery...

    Full suspension XXL bike for a 6'7" Rider - I want a Santa Cruz Heckler 29" but they're 10+ weeks out..

    And you’ve totally ignored everyone telling you removing the levo battery is easy, there’s no compromise

    Full suspension XXL bike for a 6'7" Rider - I want a Santa Cruz Heckler 29" but they're 10+ weeks out..

    they do the S6 in all models of the turbo levo (availability might be your issue), only the basic model has the 500wh battery & it is removable. the battery is held in by just one bolt, disconnect the battery connector & it slides out the bottom of the top tube

    Levo Gen 3 extender

    Cheers for the reply @TrailwattsUK, that‘s a pity as I was under the impression the motor was basically the same as the gen2, I had hoped it would be a straight swap, but life is never straight forwand. Are you selling the Gen3 version of your extended yet, as it’s not listed on your site? (Any...

    Special tools or bike mechanic

    As above you don't need special tools, but they do make it a lot easier and if you buy it now, you'll have it ready for next time! I'd expect to pay an hours rate for the mechanic to do the work for you... which could work out similar to the cost of a couple of tools.

    Levo Gen 3 extender

    Hi @TrailwattsUK, I can see you've added an extender to the Levo Gen 3 bike your selling on your online store, is it the same as the Levo Gen 2 version? I fancy buying one for my current bike (Levo Gen 2) but plan to move to the Levo Gen 3 at some point and obvious would want to move the...

    Other Gen1 Levo - Lyrik discount worth the upgrade ?

    I replaced my Gen 2's basic Rev's with Zeb Ultimate and it's made a world of difference, not that the Rev's were bad, just the Zeb so much better. The Lyriks would be great upgrade, I only went Zeb as I'm a larger lad, but only you can decide if spending that money is worthwhile or you...

    E-bike availability.. whats your (current) experience

    I bought my last bike way back at the end of '19 and they were discounting them, in preparation for the new '20 model I'm now interested in replacing it and though there does seem to be stock (Spesch Levo), there's seemingly bugger all chance of a discount (well until the new ones are launched...

    Bike Work Stand Recommendations

    www.fjmcustombikestands.com (seems a BB with a hole thru it) No their not pennys, but when did any good come cheap? I've had a Mk2 for since Dec '19 and it the one of the best things I've bought for my ebike. Wash the bike without leaning it up against the wall, oil the chain in 30 seconds...

    Replacing an E8000 with an EP8 Motor

    and lots of ppl saying you get no warranty on these ebay motors, so your better off going back to Shimano and at least getting a warranty.

    Levo Gen 3 Specialized Gen 3 Sizing

    Interesting thread, I’m 6’2” & have tried a S5. I liked it a lot, such a great handing bike, but it felt a little short, especially compared to my gen2 XL. My XL is a bus though on switchbacks, so the S5 size is tempting. I’ve sat on a S6 (sold S-works, so only a quick sit, couldn‘t afford to...
