    Hi Jezzer, No problem although I'm pretty limited to ride times. Usually go out to QE Sunday mornings. Now I have the Levo i'm riding from home instead of loading up the car so can meet up with on the way through. I was out for a few drinks last night so may head over later this afternoon...

    first, ride on the levo today

    Interesting you say that. I expected to have a fairly harsh introduction into how a Levo would ride having never ridden a 29er or an ebike on trails before but I found it the COMPLETE opposite. I felt at home straight away and was popping jumps and wheelies much easier than I ever expected...

    2019 Turbo Levo Owners Thread

    So I took my Levo 2019 out for its first proper ride today and I bloody loved it. 22.35 miles in total, 13 mile round trip on road to and from the trails and 9.35 miles off road on QECP singletrack. Got home with 4% of the battery remaining and that was a mix of all modes although mainly trail...

    2019 Turbo Levo Owners Thread

    Black, Base model. Went in with the intentions of getting the Hyper and it did look good but they didn't have an XL so he wheeled out the black and it looked excellent, bought it there and then and took it home 40 minutes later. I only went in to have a look and went home with a new...

    2019 Turbo Levo Owners Thread

    Just to bring some positivity back to the thread, took the new Levo out for a test ride today and the motor is quiet, seriously quiet. The tyres are louder than the motor. I'm impressed so far, early days but I was thinking the worst after all the reports and so far so good. Felt smooth with...

    2019 Turbo Levo Owners Thread

    Seriously people, this thread appears to be getting out of control. Too much talk of problems that haven't actually happened yet. Do we have any reported Motor failures due to the holes in the casing of 2019 Levos?? If we do then fine, let's see the evidence and how Specialized are dealing with...

    2019 Turbo Levo Owners Thread

    Go in and have a chat with them, they can answer your concerns and you can make the decision with the bike in front of you. I was worried about everything I'd read but to be honest what's the point, the warranty will cover any failings IF they occur and I'm sure any replacements will rectify...

    2019 Turbo Levo Owners Thread

    Picked up a brand new Turbo Levo 2019 base model today after an impromptu visit to well known LBS in Crowthorne. Mentioned the issues raised on the forum to the guys in the shop who pretty much dismissed it as a problem that I should not be worrying about and that their faith in Specialized...

    2019 Turbo Levo Owners Thread

    Very fair point for all current owners (y) but I'm talking from a prospective buyers point of view and if I'm told that I would need to buy an additional mudguard to help protect the motor from standard UK weather conditions etc I would be questioning my purchase.....which to be honest at this...

    2019 Turbo Levo Owners Thread

    And no way you should have to run a mudguard to sort this problem anyway. I'm sure there are lots of work arounds to minimise the issue but on a £4000-£10000 bike I'm pretty sure Specialized should have thought about this before releasing the bike. They will need to provide the protection for...

    2019 Turbo Levo Owners Thread

    I really can't see how this ISN'T going to be a problem. This picture alone is ringing alarm bells with me, I would like to see another one after your off piste ride today. I ride Queen Elizabeth Country Park in Hampshire on a weekly basis and it is notorious for throwing up all types of mud...

    2019 Turbo Levo Owners Thread

    Also in regards to the Motor debris issue, it appears we are talking about more than one possible inlet, am I correct on this? Back of the motor between the frame and the wheel, the hole made for apparent cooling of the motor and possibly the charging input socket??

    2019 Turbo Levo Owners Thread

    I have to say this is starting to become a concern for me. I have a large deposit down on a 2019 Levo and I live on the South Coast of the UK where mud, sludge and leaves etc are common place for most of the year riding conditions. I think we would all really appreciate some feedback from any...

    No lights on my new Levo

    Come on, we all know that unplugging and plugging back in is the first rule of any electrical failure! ;)

    Any Uk shops stocking a Specialized fsr turbo levo aluminium XL Frame ?

    I'm in exactly the same position as I've tried numerous shops/online sellers but nobody can commit with an actual date to any of the bikes arriving. It would seem that very few XL bikes will be here before 2019 and most variants of the bike in XL are showing as April/May 2019. I am seriously...

    2019 Turbo Levo Delivery Countdown

    Lets be realistic here though, Specialized will know this is a major problem and that they will need to have stock shipping before or at least very early 2019 otherwise people will surely start to look elsewhere. I am getting dates of May 2019 for a Hyper/Black base model but I'm pretty sure by...

    2019 Turbo Levo Owners Thread

    Oh yes, this looks the absolute business. This is going to be my first ebike but unfortunately the UK stock of this colour is currently not due in until May 2019!!!!

    Help finding a 2019 levo

    Popular yes, but more like stock and supply issues over here at the moment. Specialized are stating the Hyper/Black in XL is not due until May 2019!!!
