The bike is suited to my riding - although I thank you for your concern :) suspension being serviced along with the rest of it in a couple of weeks :)

That doesn't make it right though - it just makes it the default that riders have accepted

I'm impossible to offend don't worry. If I bought a car, and I needed to replace 25% of the parts after 10,000K - there would be uproar. The fact that I've spent £500+ on a bike only 12 months old is still just mad. The fact that I'm doing most of the distance on flat terrain should mean it...

My 2018 Turbo Levo has done 10,000K. Most of that on roads and bike paths for a commute. In the 16 months I have had it, it's had this many new parts: 1 new motor 1 new rear tyre 4 chains 3 cassettes 2 chainrings 1 battery cable 1 derailiur 3 sets of brake pads This, to be quite frank, is...

And another update - I massaged the shop I got the bike from, Tredz and they rang Specialized whilst I was on the chat and got a new cable sent out to me for free, which saves me £75 :) Kudos to Tredz No dos to Specialzed for this piss poor design.

I know it's not strictly relevant to my initial topic but I have to say I'm shockingly disappointed in the amount of parts that need replacing. If I bought a new car it wouldn't need half of it replacing within 10,000K. or 100,000 for that matter.

Probably 200 trips at 50k each so yeah about that :) 1 new motor 1 new rear tyre 4 chains 3 cassettes 1 front cog thingy whatsit And now one battery cable

Pfff. So ironically I broke it. When I cleaned the contacts, the thing i used to do it was too big and bent the spring / mesh in the cable coming from bike to battery. God knows why they chose that method on a mountain bike but I assume greater engineering minds than me can justify it. New...

Hi folks - 2018 Turbo Levo owner here - I use the bike for a daily commute so I rack up about 200K per week on it. I jumped on this morning and managed to ride to the bottom of a big hill before realising the motor wasn't up and running, then had to push it back up and get in the car. At least...

Yeah it was done all ok in the end, even though I'd clocked it for occasional off road use - entire drive train needed replacing at the same time and the cassette had been replaced before at about 2000 - think the wear will be less now I now how to ride it a little less hard!

Coo well that beats me - I do 200k+ per week (though less the last few weeks in the icy temperatures...) Motor gave out after 4,000K and had to be replaced!

There’s a factual difference. Ebike motors in the EU are artificially limited to do less than they were designed to do. The motor is identical in other countries were the limit is higher. Fitting a super charger to your Ford Focus is making it do something it’s not designed to do.

No b No. Because that’s not the same. if you use the engine in a way it’s designed for - and it is as it’s higher in other countries - you’re ok

And I think the reason we let governments set trading standards not manufacturers is so we don’t have to listen to them :)

And anyway - I did get mine replaced. For free. After the motor said it has done 3.5 million kilometres :) In the frame Relates to bikes and them failing - as long as you're not doing anything weird, like commercial use, you're all good.

They can shove it up their bum. Statutory rights cannot be over written because a manufacturer wants it to be so

When you buy something it should last a reasonable amount of time under reasonable use. It’s a mountain bike. I should be able to ride it up and down one all day long.

Terms of the warranty are not relevant - statutory rights always exceeds those manufacturer supplied warranties.

Derestricting isn’t illegal. Riding a assisted bike that can go faster than 25kph on the road is - not the same thing. I’d like to see Specialized prove that I rode a bike on the road rather than a mountain.

Sales of goods act doesn't work that way. I could keep on taking this thing back again and again and again if I wanted to and if they didn't fix it I'd take them to court :)
