Hello Everyone :)

Newbie here. Looking for my first eMTB as I believe I'm due an upgrade. I currently own a rather old and weary Trek Y3 so, as you might imagine, and upgrade is required.

I'm hoping to start my eMTBing soon and I'm after a Turbo Levo,

Good luck, Levo's are getting hard to find but they sure are fun!

Thanks. Any tips on finding one would be welcomed. Do you think it might be worth calling around the bike shops?

Absolutely. I had to try 5 or so shops before I found one. Someone else had to do the same just this week. First shop I called said "everybody is out of them, and they can't be ordered until next year" but I kept calling around and eventually found the bike I wanted. Covid concurrently increased demand, and messed with supply chain so they are in short supply.

Well, I managed to find myself an Turbo Levo FSR from the ConceptStore and ordered it tonight. Not sure why I didn't look there first but hey, it's in the bag now so all's good.

I have no idea when it will be delivered, I'm hoping with some shops re-opening next week that it will arrive shortly after however, I'm not getting my hopes up.

Whilst I'm here, I was wondering if there was any quick advice anyone could give me as a new owner of a Levo. For instance, is a Rock Guard absolutely essential and also, I touched on a thread here in the forums about water getting in the motor casing (and the fix for it) is that an important issue on the 2020 version?

Thanks.

I think on the 2020's there isn't anything you need to do other than download Blevo app if you like to geek out a bit.

Thanks. Looks like I'll have my Levo this coming Saturday, all being well. I've just spent this morning looking at insurance quotes, which don't seem too pricey when considering the cost of the bike.
