Sorry for resurrecting an old thread but I posted very similar problems with my 2017 levo. I have motor power problems when I remove the battery to charge. After reinstalling the battery, more than half the time, I am having problems with no motor engagement and then I am fiddling around with the harness cover.
In addition, I also adjusted my dropper post so I pulled some slack through the cable located in the bottom bracket, and I was thinking this could of caused a problem with the motor harness cable.
I’m going to try to clean the connections on the battery and harness cover. I will also try to remove the motor cover on the non driver side to see if something got pinched. If there is any other advisement, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys
Word of warning on putting anything metallic in the socket charging connection to make it work. If you short the battery charge to the small gold connectors it blows the batteries management circuit. You are then £700 down as they can't be repaired.A recent mtbr post just made me the happiest guy on the planet! Putting small wads of foil into the female connector holes instantly did the trick! Seems like the female connectors stretch out and start to lose contact with the male pins, causing this problem of intermittent or no connection.
I’m having the same issue on my 2019 Kenevo Expert. Happened a few months ago but seemed to resolve itself. Now it won’t turn motor on. I wonder how it went with the foil solution? Simple fix or as the following post suggests a disaster? I’m afraid now of taking it to the shop fearing a Covid-19 lockdown and having my bike in “quarantine” for months, especially if there may be an easy fix or at least to give a try to rule out other problems.
