Had the same issue on my Levo. Turned out the threads for the screws holding the motor cover were cut to short. Hence the screws were sticking out, catching on the battery expander clip. Does'nt really speak for Specialized when it comes to quality, since that issue could have easily been...
I personally did not have the best experiences with OneUp droppers. Rode two of the 210mm travel ones on two different bikes. Both of them had quite an amount of play in them and both of them failed after a certain amount of time. The Post could'nt be locked anymore, which means it would slide...
Do the defects on your frame look somewhat like the pictures below? I also have some air trapped below the coating as well as white spots which are obviously fingerprints on multiple areas. My lbs told me that's normal which I don't believe till today. I am pretty convinced my bike is a lemon...
@j.e. So did you get to fix the problem? My experience with the Specialized service has been a real joke so far. It's been over a month since I've reported the issue to my lbs and they informed Specialized about it.
So far I have gotten a motor cover (which has nothing to do with the issue) and...
Yupp, I have read that thread too and now I'm a little worried if my frame is even going to hold up. Would be nice to hear if those marks on my frame could be a sign of a bad frame or if it's just a cosmetic issue.
Hmm that is a tough question, generally there is no space in the frame to just take the motor bolts out and pivot the motor out of the way. I think you'll be able to pull it out using enough force, carefully wiggling it out from side to side might help as well. As I stated someone must have...
Yeah that is my dilemma too, currently there are just no bikes comparable to the Levo Gen. 3 but I don't think it's going to stay like that for long. After my personal experiences considering reliability, quality and customer service so far I was not really that eager anymore to buy another...
So after my plans on downsizing to a S3 Kenevo were foiled by the current availability my LBS made me a nice offer for a new Levo Gen.3. So as it turns out I am now a proud owner of a new Levo Expert. A proud owner but not a happy owner so far.
It all started when I took my Levo apart to apply...
I am aware that the supply chain is a complex process especially considering the current situation. I still don't think it is any excuse for needing half a year to tell your customer that you can just fullfill a third of your orders. Especially since i got stalled by Specialized for over a month...
@Rosemount Now i did and there is really nothing new I didn't know yet. I just didn't watch it before because I really don't see the point, since I've already ridden a S3 for a full day and know it's the right size (Sadly I didnt't have that opportunity before I bought my S4). The thing is that...
Thanks for all the links guys. The thing is that with the reliability I had with my S4 Kenevo in the past I really don't want to buy such a bike online. Also I don't really see the point in buying a bike online while paying extra for a bikeshop brand rather than direct sales. With my lbs I can...
Okay, I have just been called by my LBS and he told me that my Kenevo got cancelled completely. I must say that I'm not really eager to buy from a brand anymore which finds it more important to pump out three new 2022 models (new FF Kenevo is gonna be here soon as well) before 2021 isn't even...
Hey Dan, as I stated in another thread, ergonomically there was nothing wrong with the S4 for me. On the S4 I have a more stretched out, yet really comfortable seating position. I just prefer the nimbleness of the S3 as I can just put down a more agile riding style, do better bunny hops and...
If I wouldn't know better by now, I'd say it's the manual on how to manufacture a 700wh battery for the YT Decoy. At least that would explain why they didn't manage to make one yet...
Paid a visit to my lbs last Saturday and got to talk to the owner this time. My Kenevo is going to be here soon, but it could be till April instead of March 15th which was the delivery date mentioned on the invoice. Hope this is going to be true. Sorry to hear you are going to wait a lot longer...
I can totally get where you're coming from, as I am currently sizing down from S4 to S3 and I am 5'11" too. The thing is that I still think that S4 is the right size for you, as well as it wasn't the wrong size for me. But my reason to do so is completely different from yours:
I really like...
You realize, that this post was written yesterday by a guy who lives in a timezone where it is actually earlier than at your place? ;) Sorry for being a smartarse though, I'm really excited for the announcement too.:)
I was just wondering not hearing anyone else ranting about it online. I've ordered a black Kenevo Expert S3 last September and it was announced to get here on March 15th. But when I asked my LBS last week if my bike is gonna be here in time, I just got the reply that the order got cancelled by...
Ah okay, so I suppose it's different for every bike, since there might some tolerance between the frame and the motor cover. On my bike, the hoses run extremely tight between the cover and the frame and I would've had to pull so hard, I'd be afraid to rip something.
So I've removed the motor...
