Levo Gen 2 Where to buy a rockguard for gen 2 battery

[#lazy]

You got the safety glove on the wrong hand ?

That was protection against dirt from that log I was pretty sure that I will not hit myself

 

[Stompweaver]

That's some pretty robust testing. Put my name down for one and I'll see if I can break it on (or off!) my bike. If we can a few people signed up and get them for around €50 that would be great.

add 90kg and a sharp rock into the mix and I’m sure it’ll break

Whatcha saying about my weight and riding style?

@PaloEMTB try hitting it hard with a pointy rock!

Was being kind , bike weighs 24kg

Looks like a huge improvement ? I’ll definitely buy one of these if/when I break the original. Well done ?

 

[PaloEMTB]

My opinion is that it would break if I hit it with the rock right way. But it was never meant to be indestructible, only better in every possible aspect. Price would be 70€. It is impossible to sell it for 50€ , I looked almost everywhere for the best price.

There is one more option for material PA11 which would probably make it even better as it is more flexible material, like hard rubber. But price is 100€.

Nothing is indestructible. As long as it can take sliding over rocks and roots rather than shattering like the original one that's the important thing. A direct impact with a rock on the bottom of the bike would likely do more damage than just smashing the battery rock guard anyway. Given that that you've beaten it with a hammer it must be pretty strong!

€70 is not much more than the standard one so it seems like a reasonable price to me.

 

[Kellermanns]

Great job - would you ship to the US? If so, what do you think the price would be?

 

[#lazy]

Was a bit of a faff instaling as the battery’s thread sinks in frame but with persistence once the nut catches it tightens up nicely . The water release hole doesn’t matchup but that doesn’t really matter !

 

[PaloEMTB]

Yes, it would be possible, it is apx 10€ for postal service , 20€ for express shipping

 

[PaloEMTB]

Final Look. Made few little changes from prototype.

 

[PaloEMTB]

These are kind of drain holes and channels to drain water. I saw high water lines on my old rock guard. This could prevent it from collecting water.

If you dont like something or you have some insights tell me now.

 

[congerball]

Great job ??

 

[Johnsok77]

Great job!
I don’t think it needs the S, i really liked the prototype with the spesh logo, but understand why you dropped it.

 

[Stompweaver]

I think it looks great as well. Would it be possible for the handle cut out to be removed. I have found it to be a weak point and it's not entirely necessary as the battery can still be removed with it filled in as it is on my home modified rock guard. I have fibre glassed a thin sheet of aluminum over the lower part with the handle cut out. It isn't pretty but it works.

 

[Stompweaver]

Also good idea with the drain holes although I think they will quickly become blocked with dirt.

I can see why you aren't putting the Specialized logo on it. I agree with @Johnsok77 that it doesn't need the S. It would look better without any logo at all.

 

[#lazy]

Just make the whole guard from aluminium

I will leave it clean, logo will be only inside. It was registered trademark, yes.

It could be removed, but I will probably leave it there.

I dont think you would like the price

edit:

If anybody was crazy enough pricing from metals

- Stainless steel 650€
- Aluminium 1050€
- Titanium 1650€

 

[#lazy]

Please!
I’m based in Belgium, and my current guard has a couple of cracks in.
I asked my local store to order one 2 months ago, but nothing!
I’ve followed the development of this, and would like to take one
I’ve got a 2019 S-Works
