Levo Gen 2 2019 turbo levo expert or 2021 turbo levo comp

[flyfishsick]

Looking for some advice. I’m looking to buy my first e-bike so I’m thinking about getting used? I have the opportunity to get a clean 2019 turbo levo expert or a 2021 turbo levo comp alloy. Both are all stock clean and about the same price ( the expert is about $400 more ) also the expert still has a warranty until May 2024 on the motor with the extended warranty where as the 2021 comp I believe is out of warranty?

So what would be the better buy? What would you do if you were me? Help me spend my money.

When was the 2019 Expert purchased?

My 2020 Expert was purchased in October 2019 so the motor's extended warranty runs out in October 23

The 2021 only got the standard 2 year warranty as the belt issue that affected the 2019 & 2020 models was fixed for 2021

If they are both out of warranty then id go for the one with the lowest mileage and smoothest feeling/most quiet sounding motor, also check which has the healthiest battery

Which ever one you buy you will be taking a risk on the motor and battery if they have no warranty

Motors can be repaired relatively cheaply, batteries arent chaep to fix or replace but you can find 2nd hand 500w ones quite easily

The expert was purchased March 2020 so the motor warranty should be good until March 2024. I believe the comp is out of warranty? Both the expert and comp have about 1k of mileage on them.
I know the comp is carbon and both have a the 700 pack. So are the components any better or worse between them??? So what would you do? What would be the better deal???

The Expert will have a better fork, shock, brakes etc.. and has just under 1 years warranty left on the motor so id go for that one
