How about a gen3/4 noise comparison? Metal gears (coated or not) will have a higher whining noise than plastic gears (used in primary planetary gear reduction from previous Brose motor). For me personally, the sound/feel(power delivery) of Brose motor was the best of all and because it wasn't...

That's output power/rider power graph, the one above it was output power/cadence. It would have been nice to see a torque/cadence graph also. But I guess they don't really measure the torque at the crank and they are using output data from motor electronics. Specialized gen2/3 will pull up to...

Also, I would expect they would install a dedicated charging port on the all new Levo. Can't imagine why they skipped that in all prior generations. Having to always disconnect the motor cable before charging, would shorten connector life and also connecting cable (fatigue because of constant...

If the battery won’t output voltage on 36v rail when it’s turned on and the fuses/mosfets are ok cell have the same voltages on all bancs, ntc sensors ok, it might have a firmware lock. I can help, but I need physical access to the BMS board. If you’re in the EU, you can send the board and I...

Most likely water damage on the PCB. Either charging circuit failure or firmware lock because of faults recorded. You said it's not charging, how about discharging? Does the bike still turn on?

Can you share the source of this information? As far as I know, passivation layer is only present on Primary Li ion batteries (eg. non rechargeable). Assuming 18650 cells have that from the factory, when they reach battery pack manufacturer, they are tested for capacity by means of...

If the cells reach 0v, you can safely dispose them, do not try to charge them or it might end up messy :) Assuming the other banks are good (balanced with max delta of 20-30mV), you can try to replace the 3 faulty banks with same cell type. But if the rest of the battery cells are used (lower...

Ok, so it works intermittently. And you got the 3rd led blinking when you try to charge it? Also, how many cycles? You said you bought it second hand. Any signs of case opening? Did you wash your bike with high pressure water ? The fact that it's still powers on is a good sign. But in order to...

That would be me :) How long ago it manifested this symptom? Prior to that event, were there any concerning signs? (eg. capacity loss, interruptions when low state of charge). Does the TCU turn on or not?

I would not judge a bike just by software/app features. For me it's important how the bike feels when you ride on it. I might hate or love Specialized (company), it won't change their product. What is the accepted truth about Levo ? :) Almost all bigger players (companies) are driven purely by...
