Yes, that IS a good point for sure. I have experienced that too. Harder compound and/or PSI does make a noticeable difference in range. And overall width and weight as well although on an e-bike you have to find that balance (on the rear) or, at least for me, you'll pound rims and get flats like...

This! I used to ride a LOT of moto in the Rockies and no eBike seems too heavy after trying to get out of some of the boulder fields and other jams we got in with dirt bikes. In all seriousness I have found a good balance around the mid-40's if you can get it. Mullet setup, carbon bars and...

So, I have for over a year now had two Levo Comps that are extremely similar with the exception of one being setup "mullet" with 27.5 in the rear. Riding characteristics aside (and personally I do prefer the quicker spin up and more playful feel of the 27.5,) I have actually noticed what I...

So, despite some of the great deals Spec has right now online for eBikes (Turbo Levo for $5600...same as what I paid in 2020, and a low spec but carbon 500w for $5,000), I found a pristine 2019 Carbon Levo Expert with upgrades and 200 miles on the new motor, 700w with 50 charge cycles. And yep...

Okay so then I am incorrect and in a Gen 2 (2019-2021) that came as a 500w, that should also be able to be converted to a 700w with a battery swap correct? And thank you! I appreciate it VERY much man!

Awesome and thank you! Okay, so the TCU...regular or Mastermind have no bearing on interchanging batteries or motors it sounds like. All batteries and motors from this era should work with either TCU it seems. Very cool the the 3rd Gen batteries...both 500w and 700w are interchangeable and...

Hi all, I have been piecing things together but can’t quite get this clear concerning batteries… I have a 2020 Levo Comp with the 700w battery. Love the bike. As I look at a second one I’m trying to figure out what mixing and matching of batteries I can or cannot do: FIRST, what are the...

Yes, but see the evolution of my attempts to fix this myself. I had little to no luck with all the solutions I tried. It finally got resolved when I went to the Trek store and they installed the battery truss and a new connector plate. So I'm recommending to everyone with this issue to go...

Okay, I wanted to post an update. My father in law has had the bike and ridden a few hundred miles on just roads around his house. No issues, but not a great test. Today I got a solid 23 mile, tech ride in and it is indeed fully fixed. So the truss plus the new connection plate did the trick for...

Well I thought I'd post an update: I have the bike back from the Trek Store / Shop. I would say they were helpful overall. They acknowledged the issue with these and agreed the best approach was ordering the battery truss and a new connector. All good. They were willing to give it to me as a...

Thought I'd add an update. I have let the Trek shop keep it a LONG time here since I have a few other bikes. But, they are working on it and rode it and were able to get it to disconnect no problem over bumps and choppy terrain. The Trek techs at the shop say it has most certainly been an...

Thanks for the info! Good to know about LHC and I have heard a lot of eBikers are going there and the terrain is good for eMTB's! It should be, it was good for motos a decade ago. It's on my list! I miss 4wheeling / moto there (although less since I'm all in with eBikes now; I'll never buy a...

Okay...update. So it's at the Trek Store. This is a Trek-owned bike shop in my hometown. All they sell and do is Trek. The guys there were great and said they wanted to take a look and no charge until they see what they think and do an assessment. So pleasantly surprised! I was honest about not...

I have looked at them. I'd have to compare warranty to Spec but I do like them.

Well and I can tell you that Spec and their motor issues were this way. Quick and no cost at all. 4 years and fully transferable. Take it to any dealer and get it back in a few days ready to rock. They just dealt with it and on an expensive part too. They wanted to get in early on the eBikes and...
