@Specialized Rider Care are you able to respond?Well ... the inevitable happened. My charger flap thing took off on the breeze the other day. I'm loving the bike overall, and there's not much I'd change, but the charger flap really is a shonky bit of design. No idea how this made it through R&D / testing etc
I ride is West Wales mostly, with plenty of mud and crud so don't want to leave this area uncovered - have gone for the Gorilla tape 'fix' for now.
Interested to hear if anyone's found a workaround / way of improving this, or is the only option is to order another battery bash guard (with the same sh1tty flap) through my LBS?
There were some rumours knocking around that Spesh were working on a fix for this - anyone heard anything more concrete on this?
Thanks for any advice / thoughts
Hi guys, Considering a new expert model here in the UK and just wanted to find out what sort of finish the red is on the expert model?
Is it an anodised or painted finish?
Also sizing wise.... Im just a smidge under 6 foot 1 and was looking at a S5 size bike. Compared to my last bike the the reach is slightly longer 485 x 502 but Im unsure what the ETT is as thats not listed on the geo chart?
What size are you all riding??
Does anybody know what size crank boots from Race Face or Sram will fit the new Praxis 160mm cranks? Mine have looked like this since about 300 miles, not many days to go before they fall off.
Are you checking for cracks after every ride? Little rubber boots can only do so much for carbon vs rocks. IMO, if you ride anywhere rocky and like technical climbs then risking carbon cranks to save 100 grams is crazy. I had an 2020 S-Works and after 2 good smacks I ordered a set of alloy cranks for $70. After a few local rides and a trip to Lake Tahoe they looked like this.

My last 4 or 5 bikes all had carbon cranks and never had an issue. We'll see how Praxis holds up.
My battery door in my Gen 3 Levo fell off after 1.5 weeks of riding. So shoddy. LBS aren’t even offering to replace under warranty. Very poor.It's absolutely true, they must design a new parts and give it to the customer as free part of recall program
@Specialized Rider Care can you respond to the battery plug door hinge issue please?
No shim on S-Works. I really think there is a mistake on the specsView attachment 73198
Do Spesh shim the seat post for the SW and Pro models? I guess the frame is exactly the same between each model and the seat post tube is 34.9mm?
Haven't had any issues with minereading this thread has puts me off buying a gen 3. For the best part of £9k I can expect motor rattles and cheap plastic parts (in the area that is meant to be the most waterproof it has ever been). Not sure I want that type of ownership experience. The Levo SL still looks like the ebike with the least amount of issues. Why can't they get the Gen 3 trouble free?
Are you sure? S-Works have always been shimmed down to 30.9 and you can easily tell from the website pics. Also, the Pro comes with a Fox Transfer that isn't available in 34.9.No shim on S-Works. I really think there is a mistake on the specs
Previously i was on SL that have shim for 30,9 tube, but not on the Levo Gen3
Me too. My battery door is still on too and can't see any reason why it would fall off mid ride. I had no problems with the old design, but I ride in California, not the UK.Haven't had any issues with mine

Next time you open the door to charge your battery have a look at how they have made the hinge for the door. The material is a very thin piece of folded plastic. As I said above, it reminds me of the plastic hinges you get on the ‘flip up‘ tops on bottles of shampoo and ketchup.Me too.
