Failed, took chunks out of the bike too.
Might have been a bad one, but thought I'd post it. I'm running on ?
Quite a few ebikes are steel so maybe there was a small chance of failure and manufacturer's opted for steel.
I'm planning to swap it out as soon as I can. At least the alloy one...
Just bringing this back up. I've just fitted the cheap alloy chainring a few others are running. A mate pointed me to a thread on the Levo owners page showing one that's failed. I'll be switching back to steel I think.
Borrowing the thread rather than start another. Will this work with a 114 link chain? My cassette is 11-46 so I'm worried it'll be a touch too short on the 46. Might have a 116 lying around but if not I'd have to buy a chain too.
Yea I'd live with it if mine hadn't gotten so deep. It's 2/3mm of metal. If they won't fix I'll get it welded sanded and painted myself.
I dropped my motor too but I always refit using the marks left by the original screw locations, not to say I didn't get it wrong but I'm sticking to my 'I...
So that's 3 of us. Hopefully others have already complained too that don't use the forums. Obviously some clearances aren't quite enough or the build process is flawed when it comes to setting the bracket correctly.
Might be worth you raising it as well, the more they see this issue, the more...
Interesting that someone else had the issue. Did you even try a claim? I'm going to be pushing them on this. The only possible way they could block the claim is because I did drop the motor a few inches to fit the brakes and you do have to remove the BB plate to get at one of the motor bolts...
Went back again, let all the air out of my shock and moved the chain stay around. It hits in every position so would be the mount to the frame that's out of position. All very odd still.
Ok so as I looked at the photos when I posted I realised it must be the chain guide so nipped back out and sure enough this is the other side.
Time for another call to wiggle as I've never moved it So has been like this since delivery.
I've got an odd bit of damage to the bike and I've no clue how it could have happened. See the photo. There is so much metal worn away it very odd. It's clean as though something is still rubbing it now.
This is why I'm thinking of switching to Specialized. I've got loads of mate on Levo/Kenevo's, they aren't without fault, in fact most of them are on motor 2 already. But all of them take their bike to a shop and can have the motor swopped under warranty whilst they wait.
I suspect they are waiting for the E9000 before doing integration. Possibly a good business plan to save two consecutive frame redesigns if the motor is a different size.
Plus if it ain't broke....
Bugger. Didn't see this till I spotted someone's Strava from yesterday ?
Will get out for the next one. Got some new trails a little further a field you all might like ?
