Is it time for a change?

I have a 2019 Levo, during this time its had a new motor, 2 replacement power harness's and a replacement TCU.
Now looking like another new motor is required, thankfully still under warranty.
Not good for a £5k bike when new.
My sons £1200 Citroen is more reliable.
That lack of reliability has begun to put me off Specialized, despite sticking to that brand for 5 bikes.
I am now wondering whether to jump ship and move to another brand with a different motor, the fear of a fault occuring while in the depths of the Peak District scares me.

Is there such a motor and its related tech that can be declared the winner in the reliability stakes.
What would be the chosen bike in the same vein as the Levo ie a cross country trail bike, budget would be circa £5500.

Initial thoughts were a Trek Powerfly with a Bosch motor, but open to opinions based on everyones experience.

Thank You.

The Bosch is probably the safest bet at the moment.

Maybe a Trek Rail.

Cube ? Radon ? (often reasonable value for spec).

Focus Jam2 6.9 - great spec for the money and rides well. (the 7.x has the Shimano motor)

There's quite a few out there, but finding one which still offers "value" if you can call it that ....... is more of a challenge.
