New owner of a specialized turbo levo comp 2020.
My first E-bike experience.
If you have some advice for my turbo levo, please let me know.

Thanks!

Change the jockey wheels straight away. My last two bikes'jockey wheels lasted about 4 months. I went for Hope, then Superstar on my Levo Comp, although I notice uberbike do them as well. Only other changes I made is to a X1 chain when the original wore out, and knogg oi and Timber bells. Oh and Invisiframe and go tubeless. Use Milkit valves, Stan's sealant and a Stan's DART. Don't use a jet wash, or even spray from a hose, I use a cone brush on a hose, no detergent, and just brush and rinse. Smear a little silicone grease around the seal on the battery plug (not the contacts). Nearly forgot, enjoy.

Thanks for the tips KennyB.

Pleasure. I think you'll get a lot more if you change the title, TDVW doesn't do much for me, and post under Specialized, not newbies.

Good point.
I am new in this.
Will do so next time.
Thanks.

keep water away from the bearings. My jockey wheels seized, and also had to replace hub bearings. That's after 3 months.

I'd also be careful not to overload the chain, change gear in time, and not uphill under full load. Snapped mine. I'm now a lot gentler with it.

I'd also be careful not to run the battery too low. It will greatly reduce power at about 20%. don't get caught short!
