I bought Kenevo comp last month and I had tried Levo expert 2018 before. I can't feel the difference. My kenevo is size XL and it's 4kg more heavy than Levo but the power and battery usage are very very close . However that is just what you feel when riding. If you are planning to race kenevo...
Here is what I get from specialized sales representative:
So it's the old motor with 2 changes to fix the overheating issue:
1- They used some thermal paste between motor and bike frame to enhance heat transfer.
2- They tune the motor to have lower pick power so it overheat lesser and battery...
I also wondering how much this bikes weight without battery and motor.
In my rough calculation if battery and motor weight around 7 Kg, Levo carbon should weight around 15 Kg as normal bike.
Isn't that too much? where are those extra 3 Kg come from compare to a normal stumpy? :unsure:
In where I live they only have comp available. I think if you have access to the expert model and you want the long travel ebike it is a no brainer choice (compare to comp) due to its very sorted spec. In my opinion the compromises on comp version is more than its price drop.
Here are some information I got from specialized dealer regarding new 1.2E motor:
'E' stands for 'Economical'
It has the same hardware as 1.2 motor but it is tuned to consume less energy than 1.2 motor.
Its peak torque at 60 rpm is 60NM compare to 75NM of original 1.2 motor and 90NM of 1.3...
1.3 motors are tuned Brose "Drive S". I wonder if the new 1.2E is the same motor with different tune or they have downgrade to "Drive T" motor.
It would be great if anyone here who has access to the motors (can open the covers) can see the labels on the motor to identify this.
The series...
