Kenevo SL Kenevo SL loud motor?

[motoadve]

Kenevo SL 3rd ride , motor seems louder than my Levo SL.
Does this seem normal?

Have you checked the chainguide ?

Sounds like gear damage to me.

Does not sound normal. Should be the same as the Levo SL.

Yeah doesn't sound great. Actually sounds like there is quite a bit of added friction going on from something. How does it pedal with the motor off? It should be relatively friction free.

Sounds like a gargling cat.

Yeah, that seems odd...Def more noise than mine.

I could never own a bike that loud.

That’s 100% a motor problem. You have a Levo SL? In that case it should be clear.

Did you ever get your Kenevo SL motor fixed? I just found this post after a month of riding my Kenevo SL Comp. My Kenevo SL sounds nothing like that.

I put 800 more miles, no issues with the motor and it is not as loud anymore.

I am glad to hear that.
How do you like your Kenevo SL? Due to trail closures, from rain, I haven't ridden mine on any trail yet. I rode it for 250 miles on the road and the motor seems powerful enough.

Most fun bike I have ever ridden, had the Specialized Enduro, have the Levo and Levo SL, this bike is the best bike for descends in rough steep terrain by far, which is what I ride most of the time.

I almost bought a Levo. Sounds like I didn't make a mistake buying the Kenevo SL. Thanks.
