Levo Gen 3 Changed wheel size by dealer

[cuaion]

Hi,

I have upgraded from a 2020 Levo to a 2022 Levo. I can feel the max speed is way different.

Dealer can change wheel circumference to 2000mm, so it will go faster, by a few kmh. I don't need unlimited, but I can feel its 1-2kmh slower than the old one.

Have anyone on here have there Levo set to 2000mm, with 27.5 rear wheel? And if so, what speed will the motor cut out at?

Thanks in advance

Well difference between 29 and 27,5" wheels is ~5%, so if you have same wheel circumference top speed on 27,5" will be also ~5% lower ...

When I have Kenovo 2020 with 27,5" size wheel, I changed wheel circumference to 2000. It gave speed up to 28,2 kmph

Hello, I have really mesured my rear wheel circunference at 2163mm (DT Swiss H1700 35mm internal with Assegai 2.5" DH Casing Maxxgrip). About the same circonference as with a Big Betty 2.4". I'll ask my LBS to set my Gen3 Levo at 2163 and see if it more accurate (because with the actual 2250 it's completely out of the reality)

Have it on 2000 now, very noticeable that speed is higher. Not that its faster, but it feels better, since its not on/off all the time.

Just get it at 2000, then you not going too fast, or missing a couple kmh

I recommend setting wheel size to minimum 2000mm to get max restricted speed. It makes a difference even on the 2022 Levo.

In EU speedlimit is 25km/h. Now i'm mulleting(or 27.5 to front also) my 2021 Levo and if you set the wheel size below 2300 it voids warranty.
Sucks.

I’m not sure if this is the same thing, but according to this it can be changed down to 2000.

This is not true, changing down to 2000mm won't void warranty.

You are right, i asked that from Specialized Nordic; if dealer changes tire size to measured 27.5 tire it won't void warranty. But i think changing down to 2000mm will.

Again, if dealer changes it down to 2000mm it won't void warranty.

Okay, but I would still like to see some evidence to support you claim.
i.e. from Spesh.

I have it set to 2000 from day 1. After 4kkm they replaced motor under warranty...
