    Levo SL Gen 1 Official Levo SL Thread

    But in Italy we don't need the "Turbo" button to get away from the alligators. ;)

    Other Switch from Levo to Levo SL?

    If you are ever in NE Florida you are welcome to try my SL. :) But really, reaching out on this forum may turn up someone a little closer to you who would let you try their bike.

    Other Switch from Levo to Levo SL?

    It appears you re using 30% of the assist of the Levo and less than 50% of the battery: in other words no more than the SL could provide but with 10 pounds less weight. I am heart rate limited and sometimes switch back and forth between 35% and 65% to keep my HR in a happy place, it works. At...

    Levo SL Gen 1 Convert Levo SL to 11 Speed

    Yes, very strange. Before adding clearance the 11 T cog would barely engage the splines, certainly not enough to work. Maybe the freewheel for the boost hub has new spacing (it has the standard splines). ***Update: I may have figured it out, the PG-1170 cassette is for road, not MTB. Road...

    Levo SL Gen 1 Convert Levo SL to 11 Speed

    The Eagle NX shifting is just ok but the main reason to change to 11 speed was to get a better range of gears. I ride in coastal Florida so the trails are flat, a 50 T gear (and really anything larger than 30) does not get much use. The biggest (only) hill around here is the bridge over the...

    Levo Gen 2 Turbo Levo Rear wheel axle sheared

    This knowledge has been around for many years, it is surprising that designers are not taught this (or they forget).

    Levo Gen 2 Turbo Levo Rear wheel axle sheared

    A classic design mistake, look at Carroll Smith's "Engineer To Win" page 115 to see why a part should never be designed with a sharp edge like this. An enterprising aftermarket supplier could make a greatly improved axle.

    Inverter for my van to charge Ebikes

    The only brand I know of is Tripp-Lite, quality products but $$$. It is possible your charger may not require pure sine wave, check with the supplier. It is difficult to tell what kind of startup power the charger may take but I would expect a 1000 w inverter to have no trouble with two 250 w...

    Inverter for my van to charge Ebikes

    Many power supplies call for pure sine wave. Some inverter suppliers call their products "pure sine wave" when they are not really, it may be best to get a name brand to be safe even though they are probably more $$. Two chargers could be a lot of amps. My charger (Levo SL) specifies about...

    Levo SL Gen 1 Levo SL 2022 - 60nm?

    60 N*M is an entirely new motor, feasible and probably likely down the road but not just a tune on the existing motor. Gears, shafts, splines, clutches all have to be designed larger. The extra heat has to go somewhere and the battery has to power it for a decent amount of time. Like a car...

    Other SL 1.1 motor reduction ratio question.

    I do not have the answer but my guess is the internal gearing is all the same since the motors all have the same power and torque specifications (at the crank). The external gearing is very different: 30/11 to 50 for Levo Sl; 44/11 to 42 for Vado SL; 46/11 to 42 for Creo and that could account...

    Levo SL Gen 1 Upgrade from NX to GX cassette. How?

    Amazon appears to have the NX at the usual list price ($100). From the video it sure looks like your chain is riding up on the cog, kind of like it is wanting to shift to the next cog.

    Levo SL Gen 1 Upgrade from NX to GX cassette. How?

    I can certainly commiserate with you, it is maddening when things go like this! I would suspect the derailleur adjustments, maybe there is too little tension when in the smallest cog (or the chain is too long?). I have a good LBS but they still miss things sometimes, I always double check...

    2020 Kenevo derestricting alternatives ?

    Your LBS can adjust for smaller tires, not sure if you can get 5 mph out of it. I changed my Levo SL to 27.5" wheels and lost 2 mph, the wheel size adjust got it back.

    Levo SL Gen 1 Upgrade from NX to GX cassette. How?

    There are a lot of SL's out there that are working just fine with the original cassette. Before changing parts to chase down an issue that may not be related to those parts I would get it back to working with the original configuration. Otherwise you may endlessly chase the problem and spend a...

    Levo SL Gen 1 Shh - Don't tell Trek Forum / Rail to Levo SL

    The SL default levels are 35%, 60%, and 100% of assist, up to the 240 watt limit. According to Specialized Rider Care this means we will get 35% of max assist in Eco (times 2x rider power for the SL) or 70% boost. Or 120%, or 200% in the other settings. The amount and limits of assist are all...

    Levo Gen 2 22 levo makes me want to start upgrading my 21 to a mullet configuration

    I didn't like how the bike steered and turned with the 29's, too slow and the extra weight/centrifugal force of the front 29 probably made it worse. The smaller wheels/tires dropped over 2 lb! If I rode rock-strewn trails the 27.5 may not have worked but there are no trails like that at the...
