You think a spesh employee is going to tell you the true failure rate? Imagine if he said 1 in 3 fail. Would you buy it? No chance. The fact he said 5% rather than the stock reply of 1% is telling in itself. The market knows they are unreliable. They just dont know how bad it is. You will know just how bad it is when Brose is a gone from the next Levo/kenevo redesign.
Also selling a Levo 1 year in of course you have no issues. The problems will start when 2020 models end of warranty and the market is well educated and bike shops are telling customers to steer clear of Brose motors.
Also what does depreciation on some random used bike have to do with future value of unreliable specialized bikes?
People are far too accepting of this problem. No other product would be expected to have this kind of failure rate. Imagine if your tesla blew motors like Brose does. There would be class action suits all over america already.
I see you own or owned a Decoy, how is their reliability going?
A post on the decoy forums from another member. "Hi All, as many other have shared on these threads, I'm having a nightmare with my Decoy, I have no faith in the long term reliability of the system and I no longer wish to own the bike. I'm really struggling with my YT experience and was wondering if anyone else here has been through similar and can offer advice. "
NOTHING IS 100% reliable. People need to educate themselves on expensive purchases and then make a decision, I bought one knowing the risks and warranty period and I will be buying one again.
I am pointing out that 1000 bucks to cover a new motor is very small in comparison to the investment really or selling secondhand.
