I was told by Spec Rider Care that the faulty motor's were noisy all the time.... So I'm not sure a quick pedal will bring up the issue as mine starts after about 30 mins under load.
If the noise I'm experiencing is normal, I'm not sure what I'm going to do - can't sell the bike without...
Yes - I did notice it got louder after 30 mins of riding but luckily not as loud as before. Specialized customer care have been very good and are keen to make sure I’m happy, so peace of mind if it gets worse.
So I took my Levo out yesterday and it sounded much quieter compared to my last ride. This is only my second ride. Was very surprised. Much colder yesterday - perhaps heat related or to do with the motors belts?
So I dropped my 2019 Levo off at the dealer. Got a call today to say that he thinks there's nothing wrong with it and tested against a demo. Not very impressed. I had a 2018 Cube with a Bosch motor previously, and this is way louder.
So I have to take my Levo back to the shop to see if the motor is at fault. Apparently "specialized have motors in stock if they need to replace"....... Hope they are not the noisy ones!!
Yes mine is quiet on eco but gets really loud when the power goes up. So loud it’s embarrassing. Going to get in touch with the dealer. Way louder than my Bosch.
So after I did a bit more riding, there doesn’t seem to be drag when you are not peddling, but certainly seems to slow down the more you peddle. Very odd. Like riding in porridge. Not what I was expecting. I had a Cube with a Bosch the same weight so I am comparing one with the other. Worse than...
I originally ordered the 2019 Comp, then changed my mind and got a good deal on the entry level. I’ve ordered a new dropper post off eBay and some Guide RE brake set (new) also from EBay. Job done I reckon
Fat tyres have less rolling resistance on tarmac so should be more efficient that thinner tyres but then you have to factor in the wind resistance. I’ll turn the bike upside down and turn the cranks and see - cheers for the help everyone
