4. GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR LEVO
4.1. INTENDED USE
The Levo is intended and tested for All Mountain mountain biking (Condition 4) use only.
For more information on the intended use and structural weight limits, please refer to the
Specialized Owner’s Manual.
INFO: Before using your Levo bicycle, please inform yourself of all applicable
legal requirements and regulations in your country or state. There may be
restrictions on riding your Levo bicycle on public roads, cycling paths, and/
or trails. There may also be applicable helmet requirements, age restrictions,
or license, or insurance requirements. Specialized does not, and will not,
make any promise, representation, or warranty regarding the use of your Levo
bicycle. As laws and regulations regarding electric bicycles vary by country
and/or state and are constantly changing, please make sure to obtain the
latest information. You should also regularly see your Authorized Specialized
Retailer for updated information.
CAUTION: All Levo bicycles have a fixed pre-set speed limit at which the motor
support will automatically shut off. Any unauthorized (attempted) tampering
with the power output and/or system is prohibited and will void the warranty.
4.2. PEDELEC / EPAC
The Levo is classified as an EPAC.
Your motor support will automatically shut off when you reach a maximum assistance speed
depending on the country of purchase. A driver’s license or insurance is typically not required.
Per EN 15194: The A-weighted emission sound pressure level at the driver ears is less than 70
dB(A).

5
WARNING! The acceleration of an electric bicycle can be faster than
anticipated and may feel unusual at first. Before your first ride, you should use
the lowest power ECO mode and become familiar with the operation of the
electric bicycle by practicing starting and stopping, cornering and navigating
obstacles in a safe environment away from other bicycles, pedestrians and/or
vehicles. Due to the greater acceleration of an electric bicycle, you should also
pay particular attention to terrain conditions as you may approach obstacles
faster than expected. Please note the default motor support mode upon
startup is always TRAIL mode.
CAUTION: The weight of your Levo is significantly higher than a bicycle
without motor support. Use caution when handling the bicycle (including, but
not limited to parking, lifting, pushing, loading it into a car or onto a bicycle
carrier and unloading it).
WARNING! Use caution when viewing or using the display while riding, as it
can be distracting and can lead to accidents. You should always stop before
changing settings or operating the various functions of the display.
5.2. BEFORE RIDING
Regardless of your experience level, you should read the “FIRST” section of your Owner’s
Manual (Bike Fit, Safety First, Mechanical Safety Check and First Ride) and carry out all
important safety checks. In addition, make sure you are familiar with the following areas of the
bicycle that are specific to electric bicycles.
BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE:
BATTERY: Is the battery fully charged?
TCU DISPLAY: Are you familiar with the function of the display features?
REMOTE: Are you familiar with the function of the buttons on the remote?
BEFORE EVERY RIDE:
BATTERY: Do you have sufficient battery charge?
TCU DISPLAY: Is the display functioning correctly?
REMOTE: Do you know how to use the remote to change the motor support level from OFF
to ECO to TRAIL to TURBO?
5. GENERAL NOTES ABOUT RIDING
The Levo motor provides pedal assistance only while you are pedaling and the bicycle is in
motion. The amount of pedal assistance will be higher or lower depending on the amount of
force applied to the pedals. If you stop pedaling, the motor will stop providing any assistance.
The Levo bicycle can also be ridden as a normal bicycle without motor assistance by switching
the display to the OFF mode. The same applies if the battery charge drops below 5% - 3%.
5.1. RIDING TIPS
Because of the electric motor assist, the Levo offers a unique riding experience compared to
a bicycle without motor assist. Below are some riding tips which may also reduce component
wear and increase battery range:
Pay attention to your speed going into a corner and be sure to stop pedaling well before
entering the corner. Otherwise you may carry too much speed when entering a corner.
Ride efficiently and look ahead. Any time braking force is applied, more energy is needed
to get the bicycle back up to speed.
Shift gears regularly to stay in an optimal cadence range and downshift before coming to
a stop.
Reduce pedal force before initiating a gear shift to reduce drivetrain wear.
Braking while steering may reduce the ability to control your bicycle.
Check the tire pressure regularly. Low pressure can cause the tires to roll inefficiently.
Only carry the cargo you need. More weight will drain the battery faster.
If your bicycle is exposed to cooler temperatures (0 degrees), keep the bicycle stored
indoors until just before riding.
WARNING! The motor support is activated as soon as you step onto the pedals
and the bicycle is in motion. You should be seated on the bicycle and engage
at least one brake before starting to pedal. Do not put one foot on a pedal and
throw a leg over the bicycle, as it could accelerate unexpectedly. Failure to
follow this warning may result in serious personal injury or even death.

6
ENFRDECZSKFREEFREE PL
WARNING! If your battery, charger or other component exhibits any signs of
damage, do not use the bicycle and immediately bring it to your Authorized
Specialized Retailer for inspection.
5.3. KNOW YOUR RANGE
Know the range of your electric bicycle before you start your ride. You can calculate your range
by visiting www.specialized.com, selecting your Turbo bicycle model, then clicking on the
range calculator. In addition to the range calculator, we recommend using the Smart Control
feature in the Mission Control App to control your range.
5.4. REMOVABLE YELLOW STICKER
Your Levo bicycle has a removable
yellow sticker adhered to the frame,
stating the bicycle serial number and
your personal BLE (BLUETOOTH
LOW ENERGY) pairing code.
Remove this sticker from the bicycle
and place it on the last page of this
manual for future reference.
Models equipped with the TCU 2 will not show the BLE Code.
5.5. RIDING WITH KIDS
There are many different setups that allow you to ride with kids. Please look at the Riding
Safely section in the Owner’s Manual regarding general information and instructions on child
carriers or trailers.
If you regularly ride with kids on your bicycle, your Authorized Specialized Retailer should
conduct a periodic safety inspection.
WARNING! Specialized bicycles are only designed and tested for use by one
person at a time. Carrying a child on your Specialized bicycle is at your own
risk. If you choose to install an accessory on your Specialized bicycle such
as a trailer, carrier, or trailer cycle, make sure it is compatible and refer to
the manufacturer’s instructions and your Authorized Specialized Retailer.
You should make sure your bicycle is still safe to ride with the accessory
installed. Be sure to not exceed the structural weight limit of the bicycle when
using a trailer, trailer cycle or child carrier. Also make sure not to exceed the
maximum cargo weight when using a child carrier.
WARNING! Riding with kids on your bicycle will affect the handling by altering
the center of gravity, weight and balance. It may also negatively impact your
cornering ability, increase your stopping distance and reduce your ability to
slow down and maneuver, especially at higher speeds or down a steep grade.
All of this can result in a loss of control, potentially causing serious injury and/
or death. You should also become familiar with and practice riding with the
accessory in a controlled environment away from traffic.
WARNING! Do not attach a child carrier, trailer or similar accessory to a
composite or carbon fiber part or component, either directly or indirectly.
For example, do not attach a trailer to a rear axle when the rear triangle is
made of composite or carbon fiber. Likewise, do not attach a trailer cycle to
a composite or carbon seatpost or a child carrier to a composite or carbon
fork. Either may potentially apply unusual forces on your bicycle frame or
component which could result in damage and cause a complete failure,
with the risk of serious injury or death. If you have previously attached an
accessory to a composite or carbon fiber part or component, do not ride until
you have had your Authorized Specialized Retailer conduct a careful safety
inspection.
Before riding with kids on your bicycle, please inform yourself of all applicable
legal requirements and regulations in your country and state. There may be
restrictions on riding your bicycle with certain or any accessory(ies). This is
especially true for electric and pedal-assist bicycles.

No tools are needed for installation or removal of both bearings. Grease the bearing
surfaces before installation.
For more information on the installation of the headset bearings see section 12 in this manual.
WARNING! Burrs and sharp edges can damage the carbon and alloy surfaces
of the components. Any deep scratches or gouges in the stem or fork can
weaken the components.
6.2. SEATPOST
SEATPOST MINIMUM INSERTION:
Both the frame and seatpost have
minimum insertion requirements. In
addition, the frame has a maximum
insertion requirement to prevent damage
to the frame and seatpost.
MINIMUM INSERTION: The seatpost
must be inserted into the frame deep
enough so the minimum insertion/
maximum extension (min/max) mark
on the seatpost is not visible. The
frame requires a minimum of 100 mm
of insertion.
MAXIMUM INSERTION: The seat
tube is reamed to a specified
maximum insertion depth for each
frame size. This ream depth limits
the insertion depth of the seatpost.
Please refer to the table in Fig.6.1.
If the desired seat height cannot be
achieved within the minimum and maximum insertion requirements, the seatpost should be
replaced for a shorter or longer one.
Once the saddle height is determined, torque the seatpost collar bolt to 55 in-lbf / 6.2 Nm.
6. GENERAL NOTES ABOUT ASSEMBLY
This manual is not intended as a comprehensive assembly, use, service, repair or maintenance
guide. Please see your Authorized Specialized Retailer for all service, repairs or maintenance.
Your Authorized Specialized Retailer may also be able to refer you to classes, clinics or books
on bicycle use, service, repair, and maintenance.
WARNING! Due to the complexity of the Levo bicycle, proper assembly
requires a high degree of mechanical expertise, skill, training and specialty
tools. Therefore, it is essential for your safety that the assembly, maintenance
and troubleshooting be performed by an Authorized Specialized Retailer.
Before your first ride, make sure your components, such as brakes and
drivetrain, are assembled and adjusted in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions and are functioning properly.
WARNING! Many components on the Levo, including, but not limited to
the motor, battery and cable guides, are proprietary to the Levo. Only use
originally supplied components and hardware at all times. Use of other
components or hardware will compromise the integrity and strength of the
assembly. Levo specific components should only be used on the Levo and not
on other bicycles, even if they fit. Failure to follow this warning could result in
serious injury or death.
WARNING! Never modify your frame or bicycle in any way. Do not sand, drill,
file or remove parts from your bicycle. Do not install incompatible components
or hardware. Failure to follow this warning may result in serious personal
injury or death.
WARNING! Electrical components can be exposed when working on your
bicycle. Do not touch any part of the electrical system while under electric
charge. Do not expose the connections of the battery and frame to water. If
any live components or the battery are damaged, stop riding immediately and
bring your bicycle to your Authorized Specialized Retailer.
6.1. HEADSET BEARINGS
The headset uses a 1 1/8” (42 mm x 30.5 x 8 mm, 45 x 45°) Campagnolo Standard
compatible upper bearing and a 1.5” (52 mm x 40 x 7 mm, 45 x 45°) lower bearing. Ensure
that replacement bearings are compatible with the Specialized headset specification.

CAUTION: If a cable-actuated seat post is inserted too far into the seat-tube,
the housing can be damaged and cause the seat post to not function properly.
6.3. DERAILLEUR HANGER
The Levo frame uses the SRAM UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) at the rear dropout.
This hanger must be installed following SRAM’s installation instructions. Please refer to the
installation steps in section 14, or refer to the SRAM UDH User Manual.
6.4. SPEED SENSOR
The Levo is equipped with a Speed Sensor magnet, located on the rear hub/disc rotor
interface. Dirt and/or metal debris may accumulate on the Speed Sensor magnet. Too much
accumulation may result in interruptions in motor support and/or inaccurate speed readings.
Regularly check your Speed Sensor magnet for an accumulation of dirt and/or metal debris,
and clean accordingly. The frequency of the cleaning depends on your riding conditions, ride
frequency and/or brake pad material. Removing metal debris may require the use of a magnet
stronger than the Speed Sensor magnet.
When assembling the rear brake disc, the Speed Sensor Magnet must be installed on the
rotor. Four of the six bolts are standard rotor bolts. The remaining two bolts (M5 x 0.8 pitch x
15 mm length, with a countersunk flat head) attach the Speed Sensor Magnet to the rotor.
INFO: The Levo is equipped with a Seat post stopper located on the rear of the
seat tube, the stopper is designed to stop the seatpost from being inserted too
far and impacting the motor.
TECH TIP: The fit between the seatpost and the seat tube must allow the
seatpost to slide into the seat tube smoothly and without twisting, but not so
loosely that there’s excessive side-to-side play/wiggle. Any fit and/or torque
issues should be inspected by your Authorized Specialized Retailer. If the
seatpost does not fit properly or moves in the frame even though it is torqued
to spec, you should have it inspected by your Authorized Specialized Retailer.
TECH TIP: Do not apply grease to the contact surfaces between the seatpost
and the seat tube. Grease reduces friction, which is critical to proper seatpost
grip. Specialized recommends the application of carbon assembly compound
(fiber paste), which can increase friction between carbon surfaces. Please
visit your Specialized Authorized Retailer for additional information.
TECH TIP: The specified ream depths are listed in the table in Fig.6.1. The
tolerance of the ream depth can vary from frame to frame. Install a regular
34.9 seatpost in the seat tube to verify the actual ream depth of the frame.
INFO: The seat tube is designed for a 34.9 mm post but a smaller diameter
seatpost can be used with a shim.
WARNING! Failure to follow the seatpost and frame insertion requirements
(Fig. 6.1) may result in damage to the frame and/or seatpost, which could
cause you to lose control and fall.
If the seatpost is cut short, the min/max mark on the seatpost may no longer
be accurate. Before cutting the seatpost, note the min/max depth required by
the seatpost manufacturer.
WARNING! For general instructions regarding the installation of the seatpost,
refer to the appropriate section in the Owner’s Manual. Riding with an
improperly tightened seatpost can allow the saddle and seatpost to slide
down, which can damage the frame and cause you to lose control and fall.
WARNING! Inspect the seatpost and seat tube to ensure that there are
no burrs or sharp edges. Remove any burrs or sharp edges using fine-grit
sandpaper.

6.6. STEM
Some Levo models are equipped with an Alloy Trail Stem.
WARNING! The stem is designed with no gap between the stem body and the
faceplate at the upper bolt area. The upper bolts must be tightened such that the
faceplate bottoms out against the stem body before being torqued. Failure to
bottom out the faceplate against the stem body can result in structural damage to
the handlebar.

Gradually torque the upper bolts to spec alternating from the left to right bolt to evenly
increase the torque until the spec is reached (C).
Gradually torque the lower bolts, alternating from the left to right bolt to evenly increase the
torque until the spec is reached (D).
Check the handlebar is installed correctly by rotating the handlebars up and down, then
twisting the handlebars side to side while holding the front wheel. If there is any movement
the stem is not sufficiently tightened and should be re-torqued.
WARNING! Burrs and sharp edges can damage the carbon and alloy surfaces
of the components. Any deep scratches or gouges in the stem or fork can
weaken the components.
CAUTION: All edges of the stem in contact with the steerer tube should be
rounded out to eliminate any stress points.
6.7. TCU / HANDLEBAR
The TCU sits above the top tube and has the potential to be struck by the handlebar or stem
when the handlebar is rotated fully. When assembling the bicycle, make sure to have enough
clearance between the handlebar, stem, and the TCU.
The number of spacers below the stem necessary to clear TCU will depend on several factors.
These include stem model/length/orientation, which TCU version your bicycle is equipped
with, and the head angle adjustment position.

7. GENERAL NOTES ABOUT MAINTENANCE
The Levo is a high performance bicycle. All regular maintenance, troubleshooting, repair and
parts replacement must be performed by an Authorized Specialized Retailer. For general
information regarding maintenance of your bicycle, please refer to the Owner’s Manual. In
addition, routinely perform a Mechanical Safety Check before each ride, as described in the
Owner’s Manual.
Great care should be taken to not damage carbon fiber or composite material. Damage
may result in a loss of structural integrity, which may result in a catastrophic failure. This
damage may or may not be visible during inspection. Before each ride, and after any crash,
you should carefully inspect your bicycle for any fraying, gouging, scratches through the
paint, chipping, bending, or any other signs of damage. Do not ride if your bicycle shows
any of these signs. After any crash, and before you ride any further, take your bicycle to an
Authorized Specialized Retailer for a complete inspection.
While riding, listen for any creaks, as a creak can be a sign of a problem with one or more
components. Periodically examine all surfaces in bright sunlight to check for any small
hairline cracks or fatigue at stress points, such as welds, seams, holes, and points of
contact with other parts. If you hear any creaks, see signs of excessive wear, discover any
cracks, no matter how small, or any damage to the bicycle, immediately stop riding the
bicycle and have it inspected by your Authorized Specialized Retailer.
Lifespan and the type and frequency of maintenance depends on many factors, such as
use, rider weight, riding conditions and/or impacts. Additionally, the Levo uses a power-
assisted drive system, which means more distance is covered in the same amount of
time. Components may be subject to increased wear at different rates, depending on the
component. Drivetrain and brake components are especially subject to wear. Periodically
have your Authorized Specialized Retailer inspect your bicycle and components for wear.
Exposure to harsh elements, especially salty air (such as riding near the ocean or in the winter),
can result in galvanic corrosion of components such as the crank spindle and bolts, which
can accelerate wear and shorten the lifespan. Dirt can also accelerate wear of surfaces and
bearings. The surfaces of the bicycle should be cleaned before each ride. The bicycle should
also be maintained regularly by an Authorized Specialized Retailer, which means it should be
cleaned, lubricated, and (partially) disassembled and inspected for signs of corrosion and/or
cracks . If you notice any signs of corrosion or cracking on the frame or any component, the
affected item must be replaced.
Regularly clean and lubricate the drivetrain according to the drivetrain manufacturer’s
instructions.
Do not use a high pressure water spray directly on the bearings. Even water from a garden
hose can penetrate bearing seals and crank interfaces, increasing bearing and crank wear.
Use a clean, damp cloth and bicycle cleaning agents for cleaning.
Do not expose the bicycle to prolonged direct sunlight or excessive heat, such as inside a
parked car or near a heat source such as a radiator.
From time to time, clean the Speed Sensor magnet on the rear wheel with a soft cloth.
Depending on your ride conditions and brake pad choice, dirt and/or metal shavings can
collect on the Speed Sensor magnet, which could lead to interruptions in motor support or
wrong speed readings.
WARNING! Failure to follow the instructions in this section may result in
damage to the components on your bicycle and will void your warranty, but,
most importantly, may result in serious personal injury or death. If your bicycle
exhibits any signs of damage, do not use it and immediately bring it to your
Authorized Specialized Retailer for inspection.
WARNING! Use a repair stand to support the bicycle during assembly or
maintenance, and a bicycle rack for transportation.
When placing the frame and/or bicycle in a repair stand, clamp the stand to
the seatpost and not the frame. Clamping the frame can cause damage to the
frame that may or may not be visible, and you may lose control and fall.
WARNING! Always turn off the battery when not in use and/or when working
on the bicycle.
CAUTION: Do not open the motor assembly. The motor assembly is a
sealed maintenance-free system. Any work on the motor assembly must be
performed by a Specialized Service Center.
