£156 for a new one next day delivery
spray inside the tcu with specialist quick drying electrical contact spray did the trick for me also take the motor cover off the non drive side and spray the main battery connector with it
I’ll try it cheers ?

Speak to Chris at berkshire bikes he is the levo man and help you all day long
So connect with Mission Control if you can and it should give you an error code....you can find out what those error codes mean using Google.
If you are sure it is not water damage and the battery connection is clean you could check that you have not in some way affected the speed sensor.
Won’t connect with mission control. Got a badass box on it so can see the speed sensor connected to this.
I’m willing to try anything to rule it out and I’ll have to take it off anyway to send it back to get sorted should I not be able to suss it myself (with yous helping of course)
I had to go get some contact cleaner blasted everything with it also took off badass box and restored bike to factory standard still dead!
I’ll try call him in the morning see if it’s open ?
i have had the plug be finicky, but re-seating fixed it. i’ve had the walk assist cut out and then pedal assist cut out - turned bike off and back on - fixed it. the other day, it wasn’t working and i was just about to panic. i knelt down and looked at the plug and there was a snapped off tip of razor blade (x-acto knife) stuck to the magnet! what a relief! so far, any issues have been remedied simply. good luck with yours! so frustrating when that happens.?
Taking mine to the shop I’ve messed around with the plug making sure it’s fully mated and cleaning it with contact cleaner I’ll leave it to the shop now to run diagnostics ? hope yours stays reliable
I am also having the same problem. Last year took bought my Turbo Levo in Incycles California, that worked for not more than 4 times. The bike has las than 30 miles on it, and the Battery is totally DEAD. As I have moved to Brazil, the retailer wants me to send the bike to the US to give me a new battery. Totally ridiculous... Is there any thing to do with batteries that are mal functioning?

If the badass box had developed a fault that could well have corrupted the Levo software and the only way to correct that would be to re flash the firmware. That can only be done by a Specialised dealer via the TCU USB port. You would be best advised to at least tell the LBS a badass box had been fitted so they realise a re flashing of the firmware could resolve the issue. As it stands the battery warning lights flashing alternatively are basically saying the CPU is not receiving the correct set of sensor inputs in its start up check and therefore will not power on. (One of the downsides to fitting non standard parts to a software driven system!).
If the battery has not been damaged, managed correctly in storage (I assume it has been stored if the bike has only done 30 miles in 8 months plus and charged only with the Specialised charger supplied with the bike, there is no reason for the battery to develop a fault. An easy test would be to borrow a Levo battery to see if that makes everything work.
Yes, the bike stayed in doors, most of the time, so it is very weird. It is actually a bad product that has been done, but do not know if the Specialized will give me a new battery. It is always easier not to...

The Specialized bicycle warranty is worldwide, use Specialized store finder to find your nearest stores.
Sorted took it to Evans cycles in Durham and the technician in there sorted it free o
He plugged it in to diagnostics and updated the software that was it back to life...Massive thanks to Evans cycles Durham who didn’t charge me a penny for sorting my bike ?? The technician in there also tried to get me a replacement e-bike from the Newcastle store which was above and beyond customer service, turns out he sorted mine within a few hours anyway ?
Basically yes

Fitted new tcu to mine back to life but no eco mode
https://www.emtbforums.com/community/attachments/1549651203037-png.10647/
basically you had a short circuit on your connector.
Not so good David got Levo 2 months ago been ok had about 7 runs on it no problem. Washing is going to be an issue if it's covered in mud you cant just wipe it down as suggested. As for walking in to shop and quoting fair trading agreements I wish I knew a shop that would wear that one. Best of luck anyway .

So the "-" button on the remote doesn't work?
Did you try cycling through the modes using the mode button on the TCU?
