Levo Gen 3 Removable Battery?

[new_rider]

I have contacted a few bike shops now and they all say the 2022 Specialized Turbo Levo does not have an easily removable battery compared to the 2021. I can't find anything on Specialized's website about this. Can any owners comment?

Use case: I live in a condo and don't have an easily accessible plug in the garage so I would like to take my battery with me to charge inside.

Thank you in advance.

As the battery is the same as on Gen2, only difference is rockguard and charging port design, it should be easily removable. Maybe shops are referring to Levo SL which require more effort to remove the battery...

Thanks Salko!

That must be it. They are probably referring to the Levo SL.

I really liked the Brose motor on the Levo better than the Bosch motor on the Trek Rail. Brose is so much quieter and smoother. However, I went with the Trek Rail because 1) it was in stock and 2) The bike shop convinced me the battery was not easily removable on the Levo.

Maybe I'll switch over to the Levo next season.

I swap between two batteries each alternating ride. It a minute or two.

Thanks Flash! Do you have two batteries for extra range or some other reason? Battery life? Convenience?

Mostly for big weekends away. But also to extend battery life by sharing the load across two batteries. Also gives some redundancy just in case.

That makes sense. Thanks Flash.
