    Levo SL Gen 1 Battery range significantly affected by outside temperature

    Has anyone else noticed how much range is affected by outside temp? I would say that for a 10C increase in temp, you lose about 20% of range (I haven't done a detailed analysis). It's more significant than I would like, and I don't think the 1st Gen Levo had such a big range difference due to...

    Levo SL Gen 1 Rattles Eliminated!

    It took a few rides, but I finally took care of all the rattles in my new Levo SL. So much nicer to ride when it doesn’t sound like a bucket of bolts! Here are the steps I took: 1. Clean and grease chain. Sounds obvious, but I’ve fixed rattles before just from a proper chain clean. 2. Added...

    How long will Specialized make parts for the Levo?

    Does anyone know? Now that the Levo can cost more than a motorcycle, and given how quickly bikes depreciate, it makes sense to know if Specialized will support a 10 year old Levo SL that needs a new motor or circuit board. Thoughts?

    Levo SL Gen 1 2018 vs 2020 SL assist levels

    Can someone help clarify the difference in max assist between the 2018 Turbo Levo and the 2020 SL? I understand the SL maxes out at doubling the power your legs put in. And the 2018 is 1.5X the power you put in?

    How to discharge the battery without riding

    Thought I’d share an easy way to run down the battery. As you know, Specialized recommends recharging the battery to at least 30% every 3 months. How do you do that if you don’t ride the bike (in the winter, for example)? The bike is on a stand an a simple clamp is pressing on the walk assist...

    Converting to a non e-bike?

    Has anyone thought of how to do this? Thinking that a viable “upgrade” option in the future, when our battery and motor tech is completely outdated, is to use the Levos as regular mountain bikes. Battery of course is easy to remove. Motor removal has the problem of what to mount the chainring...

    Battery only charging to 80%?

    Hi, My battery seems to be charging to 80% only. The charger light becomes green at 80%. Has this happened to anyone else? I disconnected and reconnected the charger cable, but the light stayed green. I checked battery level in Blevo and it’s 80%.

    Latest firmware version / top speed?

    Does anyone know what the latest motor and battery firmware versions are? I bought the bike and use it in Canada, which should mean top motor speed is 20mph/31kph, correct? My SW Turbo Levo seems to top out at ~26kph. Thanks

    Wait 8 hours after charging?

    Hi, I just read the charger manual for my Turbo Levo and noticed it says that Specialized recommends you wait 8 hours/overnight after charging the batt fully before riding. I hope that is just for the first use?!
