Levo Gen 2 Replacement motor. 2.1 or 2.2?

[cuaion]

Some where on Facebook I read that you will get a 2.2 motor as replacement, on 19/20/21 Levo.
Can someone confirm that?

Dealer asked for a new motor last week, and hoping to have it this week.

2.2 motor is just 2.1 motor with latest rolling changes/improvements, so yes, all new motors should be 2.2 ...

Yes I know its the same but with improvements. But a friend told my the fitment wasn't the same. Hope its a 2.2.

The fitment is the same, don't worry

They're probably getting confused when looking at Levo Gen3's because the charging port/battery connector is different. This is just because the Gen3 uses a different bash guard (same battery) with a flap/door attached and the Gen3 uses a different cable from the motor to the battery/charge port. The actual motor is exactly the same - apart from Marketing deciding it would be a good idea to call it a 2.2 now with no specified date or serial number changes (some unknown date after July 2020). If you like we can call it a 2.whatever month it is - then people will feel the need to buy a new bike each month to have the latest and greatest.

How do you know on your mission app it's a 2.2 motor ?

You cant.

This may be a very dumb question but here goes...

Is it possible to order the 2.2 housing that the motor sits in so we could get the bash guard with a flap/door and cable from the motor to the battery/charge port?

Is the 2.2 not the serial numbers starting 200?

My Gen2 just had a new motor and has one of the new serial numbers wheras the old motor serial no. started 100.

We tried to find some pattern to the numbers early on with the gen3 bikes, but other than production dates after July/August, at the time there wasn't any. At some point I guess they've started numbering them 200 - makes life easier ! As far as we know, they shouldn't be any different to any made after July/August 2020. We're not aware of any other changes they've made to them.

I have been reliably informed that motors no’s starting with a 200 are a new updated motor. I have no idea what those updates are though.

Based on above, SN E01680-100210304-1-5060 is 2.1 motor?

This is coming from a new in box 2022 Gen3 S-Works Frame only.

Wow! Pretty old engine in the new most expensive frame.

Bike shop says dealer software indicates a 2.2, but based on the SN I am worried now, only because I went thru 4 (yes four) 2.1 motors on a 2019....hmmm

Looks like a build date of March 2021 which is prior to all the hardware updates (now called 2.2) being applied.

It could have been rebuilt with newer components and then fitted to the bike though, dont quote me on that.
