Levo Gen 2 2019 Levo vs. 2018? (or wait for newer)

[JetSedgwick]

Hi all, what are the main differences between the model years 2018/2019/2020?

I'm shopping for an e-bike and it seems like the Levo is the way to go, I can't demo all the different bikes locally. I demo'd a 2018 yesterday but I understand that the 2019 motor is much better...how so?

It seems like the 2020 and 2021 are mostly the same...meaning the sweet spot of value is the 2019???

Definitely go for 2019 if you still find it, 19/20/21 all have same frames and 2.1 motors, but 2021 has motor with latest improvements to prevent premature motor failures. You'll get 4 years warranty on motor for 2019 and 2020 models (for 2021 model only 2 years). Only concern I would have with 2019 model (which may stand in the shop for 2 years) is battery condition, even if the bike is new the battery might not have 100% health anymore, you have to check it with Blevo, MC app can show you 100% even if its less than that ....
