Secondhand LevoSL buyer here.
From the comments and tone of everyone replying here, I'm assuming everyone here also only buys cars brand new? lol
I've only ever bought used cars, and I've had good luck over 11 vehicles. And because of people's fears of a scary used car/bike, if you buy new you...
Steve_sordy has it right. Anyone in security will tell you that a layered defense is the way to go.
I have an auto-closing garage door so I’ll never leave it open. Floor and wall anchors inside the garage. Solid bump proof side door. Same NY noose chain , and a hiplock d1000. Bikes locked down...
TLDR: If you would like to see class1 ebikes allowed on mountain bike trails, now is the time to act! Please take 15min and submit your feedback.

@mart1nn search the forum on FF vs SL. There have been quite a few threads on the topic... I've posted my own story several times. I went from Stumpjumper to Levo to SL. The FF is a pig. You'll definitely notice the extra 10 pounds.
You say you mostly ride solo and are hoping to find a group to...
I have a gen1 SL, and am considering getting my son a used gen1 SL so he can ride with me.
He's 13 and growing fast... thinking of getting him a size M (height-wise he's right between size S and M), but I think he'll do better going from his 26" to a 27.5 vs up to 29".
I've been reading posts...
I had a Levo and traded it for a Levo SL. There are lots of posts on the forum comparing the two. The two bikes exist for a reason and you need to sort what is going to work for you. I’d encourage you to rent/borrow/demo both if you can.
For me I didn’t like the extra weight of the FF and...
“More than 100 fires were caused by e-bikes in 2021, resulting in 79 injuries and four deaths, according to the FDNY.”
"We also want to emphasize the rising cause of fires from e-bikes and to ensure that families are making sure that they are following the safest possible way to use these...
This is all I'm asking really.
I've tried (maybe not hard enough) to be clear that I lock my bikes with gold/diamond rated locks, garage them, airtag them... I have a dog who sounds ferocious but he's a big baby. I have cameras and motion detectors.
I'm just trying to figure out how robust...
yep, as mentioned I use locks (gold and diamond rated), even inside my garage.
I disagree with your point on a tracker. Trackers can be removed, just like my airtag can be removed.
I've thought a lot about ebike security and had considered building a tracker with some ebike features, but...
I have read about System Lock feature in the new MasterMind display, but I've found very little information other than high-level what it does and how to set it up.
Does anyone know how fool-proof the technology is? (ie, does it actually brick the bike? or is there a workaround? proven/tested?)...
Did a couple rides with my brother this weekend. I piggybacked on his mobile network connection as my phone didn't have signal (he's on Verizon and I use AT&T). At that point he noticed that *my* Levo SL's battery status was showing up on *his* Garmin Fenix 7 watch.
I did have mission control...
Two rides with my brother this weekend. He was on a rented Norco Sight VLT (FF, ~58lbs, Simano EP8 w/540wh battery) and me on my '19 SL Expert. Second ride was 23.6 miles with 3400ft elevation gain. He mostly rode in 'Trail' or 'Eco' to ride together. On climbs when he switched into 'boost' mode...
