Levo Gen 2 Unreliable Specialized!

[MrSimmo]

Just completed my 3000th mile on my 2020 Levo today on its original motor.

How dare the bike be so reliable?! Damn Specialized!

Nice to hear a positiv story.

My first motor died at about 2500 miles so not as lucky as you. I make about 2000-3000 miles per year on emtb, 3000 miles is not neraly enough to tell if motor is reliable or not. I think majority of motors should whitstand at least 10000+ miles to deserve to be called 'reliable'.

me and my mate both on Levos....over 2 years old both approaching 2000miles...neither has had a single fault. Not really faults but both of us have upgraded the forks.

For me only 2500 mile on my 2019 Levo on its original motor and the battery is 100% safe.

4500 motor 1, 1800 motor 2, motor 3 still going fine at 800

Semantics I know but never heard of a case where the motor has failed..........the transfer gears/sprag bearings/torque sensor/speed sensor or crankshaft yes or occasionally a PCB component............ but then non e bike BBs wear out as well.

My 2020 Levo Comp has over 9,000 miles on the clock with 6,400 so far this year.
The battery is 100% and the only problem was a split power cable 2,000 miles ago replaced under warranty.
This is a huge improvement on my 2016 Levo that ate motors, batteries and even snapped the axel in the bottom bracket.
Spec HQ finally took it back, sorted it out, and for a year it was most reliable until I exchanged it for this model.
Needless to say, I am delighted with Specialized and I just hope my lucky run continues.

Can all you folks with reliable Levos pray for @Gibspark please? We're off to Scotland for 5 days on Monday and I'd really like his motor to last until Friday.

I've had bikes of various manufacturers over the years and they've all been appallingly unreliable

4300 miles on my 2019 Levo Comp. Since July 2019. Trouble free. What a great bike.

I’ve done just under 4000 miles since owning the levo in august 2019, I’ve had 5 motors, the bike is outstanding, but any issue with sprag bearings, unable to load SW, belts all result in a new motor. Interesting though my two riding buddies, one with Shimano and Bosch have done similar milage to me (as we ride as a brat pack) and the other two haven’t glitched let alone failed.

My Bosch Gen 2 is bulletproof.
