2021 Turbo Levo SL carbon power goes off

[Stefan Mikes]

You do not need to remove the crank or chainring to access the motor bolts. Removing the drive-side pedal is necessary.

Dropping the SL 1.1 motor to remove the main battery is one of the easier things a layman can do to an SL e-bike.

P.S. Everything is easy when you rotate the e-bike first so it is resting on the bars and the saddle.

I've had similar problem with my 2020 Levo (not an SL). My Levo sometimes doesn't start and gives a red error message on the TCU. Disconnecting and reconnecting the battery has always fixed it. Unfortunately for you, unlike with Levo SL, removing and reinstalling the battery on a Levo is easy. At one point, my LBS took it apart and cleaned off all of the connections. That solved this occasional problem for a long time. This error still happens once in a while if the bike sits for months (like in winter). Fingers crossed, your problem is an easy fix!

I had a 2016 Turbo Levo Fattie, an early model. which was problematic, and was almost immediately replaced with a new one, by Specialized. Went through lots of repairs/replaced parts over the first two years, all under warranty, and then it settled down. Did have the occasional power shutoff, and found that the plug needed cleaning. On one ride the power went off, and I was stranded, but managed to get back. Took it to the shop, and they couldn't find anything wrong. There I noticed the new SL's and decided why not!! Was able to sell the Levo to Pro's Closet for a nice figure. Very happy with the SL, hopefully it will be fixed. The shop says it's the battery moving, and that's what the stabilization kit is for. The tech did say the connector plug is not threaded or a bayonet, just pushes in, so I guess it could lose the connection if the battery is moving.
