Sweet skills, Bearing Man. I can see it's a job that's well beyond my toolkit. The video is lucid, cheers for that. I wonder if anyone may have suggestions for where (I'm in San Diego) I might go to seek this bearing confirmation diagnosis and/or fix, or shall I simply start with the Specialized...
I seem to have the same problem with my Specialized Turbo Levo 2017. First symptom was scraping sound (thought is was rear hub), which stopped. Soon followed (next day) by motor still engaging a few seconds more after I stopped pedaling. Is there a DIY fix anyone knows? I expect I'm well out of...
I found this great little video from ParkTools (entertaining characters, they are!) that estimates loads, torque, dropper-specific issues. Their numbers are fascinating and confidence-inspiring.
Conclusions I took away from their analysis:
1. clamp force from their stand's clamp: about 60...
I hear ya, but wheel spins hasn't been an issue for me; my issue's been slow- to no-startup of the feature itself. I only engage it on hills, so am always in low gear at such times. Seems glitchy... just dunno what's up, seems it's a common problem from what I'm reading on the inter-web. Not a...

Go Chris!
Yessir, that's a real concern, especially for those (like me) who shop hard on used bike gear to save a bundle. I've always done so: for cars, boats, motorcycles, toothbrushes (not) and it's been just fine, if you know what to look for and don't mind a little gamble for what you can't know for...
Me too: 2018 Levo, unreliable walk-assist. Random power, spin, stop. A real head-scratcher. Also happens in other modes, often just shuts off. Changed out battery harness and connector plug housing (visible plastic angular bit that holds the battery charging cable and is pushed on to connect the...
What a lovely flow of stellar reports on Chris's work and ways. Makes me wish we lived closer to Chris! (here in California, alas, a bit outside the standard 5MRTTBB: 5-mile round trip to Berkshire Bikes). Funny thing, was just yesterday watching Chris's YouTube with Rob on maintenance. The...
