Hi all
I've done a little searching but have been unable to get these questions answered.

I'm currently riding a 2018 Meta Power. I've put 2000 single track miles on to date. It's been rock solid reliable. Until last week I wasn't even considering changing bikes, then I rode a new Levo Alloy Comp and the S6 just felt like it fits vs my XL Meta being way too small.

Do any of the Levo power mode dynamically adjust based on rider output? I currently have my EP8000 set with relatively low assistance levels, but the trial mode by default dynamically adjusts based on rider input. Eco and Boost are fixed assistance. Does the Levo behave this way as well in its stock for or will I need to figure out Blevo to get that sort of function?

Has anyone had any success with a RS Super Delux Coil shock? I've got one now and it's the right size.

The battery seems to be in a vulnerable place. How durable is the bottom end of the battery both against water ingress and impacts? Sadly most of my time available for riding is during the wet season. I have smacked the motor/skid plate many times and the meta has a higher BB.

Overall how reliable is the power system on Levos? Early on I remember ready so many complaints about problems and needing warranty work. To date I have not missed a single riding opportunity do to a motor/battery issue on my shimano system.

If I could find a bike with the same geometry and an EP8 motor I'd do it in a heart beat.

Thanks.
