There are a couple of things we could do for the Bosch, especially with regards the sealing. We're still working in this one. And, we warranty any motor we work on, regardless of make. (We don't cover water ingress though!).

Not a bad shout because you will get another years warranty with us! Unfortunately, there is currently no upgrade available for the Bosch Gen 4.

No, Brose actually claim IP56 (IP56 = Protected from limited dust ingress. Protected from high pressure water jets from any direction) :censored:

Most eBike mid drive motors are manufactured to an ingress rating to IP54, and are quite happy being ridden about in the rain. Rain or general puddles are not the problem. This is why road/commuter bikes rarely fail. You would be perfectly fine, riding your V3 Levo through the rain every day if...

I think the torque settings are for initial torque which will stretch the bolt. And if this bolt needs to be re-torqued it should then be torqued to 9.5Nm so as not to snap the already stretched bolt. This would all make sense for a T25 5mm bolt or screw, but T30 are usually set from 9Nm to 11Nm...

reading never was my strong point! 😂 anyway, sod the copyright.

No, what you have found is the paper sheet that comes with new mounting plates. I am gobsmacked that they tell you that you will need a 1Nm to 10Nm torque wrench, but then don't tell you what torque you should tighten it to! 🤪 I got my information from the Bosch 2023 eBike Manual. This is the...

I can't say I disagree with a single word you write here. Although there is one point you're missing. And I'm not sticking up for the manufacturers when I point this out, but when you are a huge corporation run by the bean counters you can see the logic. The biggest world market for bikes by...

Just so there is no confusion, the motors that Specialized use in all but their SL bikes are manufactured by the German company Brose. The outer facing bearings of all eBike motors, regardless of make, are always pre-lubricated from the bearing manufacturers and will have what ever grease they...

This is directly from the 2023 Bosch eBike manual. I cannot copy or reproduce this manual or parts of it due to copy write infringement. We do this for a living so please trust that the information stated is correct. The early Gen 4's did have standard T25 machine screws fitted. Bosch do not...

Little known fact: I would just check your Marine grease as most are Aluminium based, this can react with the standard grease found on your normal bearings and turn it back to liquid. This is why a lot of boat trailer bearings fail when people take the grease cap off and pack it with marine...

As the maker of this video I thought I better point out a few things before you change your mind about owning a Levo. First of all, for every motor that fails, thousands have no problem at all. 99% of ALL ebike motors fail due to water or dirt ingress. Many new ebike motors use a sprag clutch...

Bosch state that the TS25 (Torx Security 5 point) screws are: First time used 10Nm. If being refitted or re-tightened for a second time 9.5Nm The larger TP40 (Torx Plus) screws holding the mounting plates to the frame should be 20Nm Do not use a standard Torx "T40" bit! You may get away with...

Contact me by email Jil. I may have someone who can help you.

We see a lot of models with high mileage, but as it takes time to add mileage, these are mostly older models. Newer models that are available in todays bikes don't yet have high mileages. Personally, if I were going around the world and carrying a lot of weight, I would probably choose an old...

Although we used to repair Shimano motors, we stopped working on them due to their software issues and total lack of support. Unfortunately, this means we don't have anywhere near the data that we have amassed on other motors, or enough knowledge to answer this question accurately.

We service and repair many eBike motors belonging to delivery riders, dispatch riders and long distance riders etc. It's not uncommon for us to see road bike motors with 50,000 to 60,000 miles ( 80,467 to 96,560km) on them. The ones we have seen with this type of mileage on them are generally in...

Yes, you just need to build yourself a small rig and find a spare battery. Feel free to email me through my site if you get stuck.

No, the current situation as I understand it... all new motors with prefix -200 are fitted with the Polymer belt. If this belt fails, it can only be replaced by the latest upgraded belt released at the start of 2022. I can't guarantee these motor numbers or dates yet. Some motors have a carbon...

Yes, it's called "Technical Vaseline" You can find out more here: www.ebikemotorcentre.com/product/technical vaseline As for the bearings, see here: www.ebikemotorcentre.com/brose-bearings
