Hello there
We have 2 Levos a 2020 and a 2019 and they both seem to have a rattle in the down tube when on the rough stuff .its not the battery as i have removed it and it is still there. has anyone come across this or any thoughts on what it might be? It doesnt seem to impact bike performance...its just a bit annoying!

I had a terrible tapping noise for a while that sounded like cables tapping. It was the headstock in the end. My dealer stripped, regressed and retorqued. No problems since, hope this helps.

My frint end rattle was the spacer disc on right side of axle...naturally free to rotate .. re packed with grease and the rattle dissapeared . Assumed it was the break pads rattling

I have a Kenevo and had an two annoying rattles. I removed the headset bearings and regreased then retorqued everything and the louder noise was gone but I still had a faint tapping noise, that turned out to be the cables rattling in the toptube, I gently pulled the cables out a bit and no more rattles from the front.

I have a 2019 carbon levo, and it’s just developed a loud rattle when doing over chattery blimps like rock gardens at speed. I though it was the battery at first as you can feel it through the frame. I had the forks off re greased put back, (bearing ok) I’ve had the TCU out at the slack cable with connectors were just flapping around like a donkey cock in a shirt sleeve. However this want is, also in the top tube to the LHS there are two cable pipes that run the cables from the rear mech and back brake, these seem to be flapping on the side of the frame. How do I secure these, is it a motor out job, a sit started when my motor was changes....I’m irked

Sounds like mine man does my head in
Notice it a lot over very small bumps like riding on grass.

Mine does the same thing. I'm pretty certain it's coming from the sprag clutch in the motor rattling when unloaded. Nothing terminal btw. Does yours go quiet when you pedal?

It’s worse when I stand up and better when I’m seated and pedalling

I was riding my Brothers 2018 Levo yesterday, annoying rattle when padeling.
At home we removed both cracks. One was not as tight as the other. Cleaned, lubed and fix them with 50Nm, rattle is gone.
