Kenevo Gen1 Specialized motor issue and second hand market

[rektumrekter]

Hello Friends,

I am on the market for a new ebike, I want to buy it on the sale market and not new. There is a lot of opportunity, but I have a few question in regard of the motor and the warranty.
When I stumble upon a selling about the kenevo I often see 'new motor'.

So what the deal with specialized motor ? I look it up and a lot of people are complaining, so I thought I must ask the specialized community.
Is this motor more prone to failure than other bike ? I have a giant for 2019 and no issue on the motor.

And what about warranty for the second buyer, in europe can I still use the warranty if the motor fail on me ?

Thanks

Yes if you have original receipt from first buyer . Also if bike is still in warranty period
