On second motor. 2020 Turbo Levo Comp, purchased in Dec. 2019. 800 miles and motor went out 4 weeks ago.
10 days to get bike back. Was told motor is new, but once I started riding, noticed motor is louder then motor that came with bike.
anyone notice new motor being louder then original motor? Is there a break in period with a new motor.

2300 miles. Same Motor. Use Turbo mode all the time, use too high of a gear regularly, do a lot of standing pedalling on the climb with low RPM. Muddy conditions. Washed with pressure washer - full pressure on the tyres but only low pressure on the frame and componants. It's never seen dust (very wet Summer/Autumn this year and it's north west England)

Did about 900kms on my 2020 Levo Expert, motor died about 2 weeks ago after 4months. Motor still worked in walk mode but torque sensor was stuffed in the motor.

2 weeks later I new motor and new cables for everything. Hopefully no more problems.

Lost one motor due to failed Prague clutch at 3200 kms. Shop replaced whole motor very quickly and efficiently but I’m a bit nervous about repeats given a 3000km bikepacking trip next March

Impressive. Wish I had your motor ?

2500 miles now no problem with the motor but I'm getting my first electrical issue with the bike now - Battery errors and taking about 30 attempts to start up if it's not been used for a couple of days or more

Don't blame you I've only had one in a year an a half don't think I would cope with three. Did you lose a fortune .
Not too much being honest...but happy its finally gone. Looking into Santa now...will see...still having a 2020 Cube as back-up, which is solid and does what it is built for, bombarding the tracks (-:

My '19 and my '20 Levo, 9000 miles between them, I've had 12 motors. Yes 12. They've lasted as long as 1200 miles, but the latest 3 motors went no more than 800.
Mind you I bought the '20 as a spare, and it's a good thing, cause Id be without a bike every month practically.

For the record, I love the bikes. I'm not complaining.
