3. GENERAL NOTES ABOUT ASSEMBLY
Due to the high degree of 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.
WARNING! This instruction guide is not intended as a comprehensive 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! 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! 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.
Your Specialized Levo frame does not require any bottom bracket or head tube pre-installation preparation. All
surfaces are already prepared from the factory.
Specialized Levo frames use a 1 1/8” (41.8mm x 8mm x 45°) Campagnolo Standard compatible top and 1.5” (52mm x
7mm x 45°) bottom bearing. Ensure that replacement bearings are compatible with the Specialized headset specification.
No tools are needed for installation or removal of both bearings. Grease bearing surfaces before installation.
When assembling the rear brake disc, the Speed Sensor Magnet must be installed on the rotor (fig.1). Four of the
six bolts are standard rotor bolts. The remaining two bolts (M5 x 0.8 pitch x 15mm length, with countersunk flat
head) attach the Speed Sensor Magnet to the rotor.

SEATPOST
When inserting the seatpost into the seat tube, the seatpost must not extend out of the seat tube beyond the
minimum insertion line on the seatpost. Do NOT cut the seat post short!
If the frame has a seat tube that extends above the topside of the top tube, Specialized recommends inserting the
seatpost into the seat tube so that the seatpost extends at least below the underside of the top tube (fig.2).
If the seat post is at the minimum insertion line and the saddle is not high enough, the seat post must be replaced
with a longer seat post.
Specialized Levo frames have a 30.9mm seatpost diameter and require that the seatpost have a tolerance of
30.78mm to 30.95mm.
WARNING! The seatpost and frame BOTH require a minimum amount of insertion into the frame in
order to maintain structural integrity (fig.2). If the minimum insertion depth required for the seatpost
and frame are different, always go with the deeper insertion depth. If you have any questions, refer to
your Authorized Specialized Retailer.
FSR MODELS ONLY: When running a saddle in a low position, it’s important to fully compress the
rear end of the bicycle to ensure that the tire does not contact the saddle.
If using a carbon seatpost, do not apply grease to the interface between a carbon seatpost
and the seat tube. Grease can reduce the friction, which can prevent the seatpost from staying
at the desired height. Specialized recommends the application of carbon friction paste (or
assembly compound) to increase friction. See your Authorized Specialized Retailer for additional
information.

4. GENERAL NOTES ABOUT MAINTENANCE
The Levo is a high performance bicycle. As such, Specialized recommends that all regular maintenance,
troubleshooting, repair and parts replacement be performed by your Authorized Specialized Retailer. For general
information regarding maintenance of your bicycle, please refer to section 5 of the Owner’s Manual. In addition,
routinely perform the Mechanical Safety Check described in section 1.C of the Owner’s Manual before each ride.
WARNING! Component wear is affected primarily by distance covered, not by time ridden. Since
the Levo is a motor power-supported bicycle more distance is covered in the same amount of
time. This means components may be subject to increased wear and at different rates, depending
on the component. 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 or discover any cracks, no matter how small, or any
damage to components, immediately stop riding the part and have it inspected by your Authorized
Specialized Retailer.
Electrical components can be exposed when opening covers or changing components. Do not
touch any part of the electrical system while under electric charge. All service work or repairs on
any electrical component should only be carried out by your Authorized Specialized Retailer.
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.
Your bicycle should be inspected and serviced by your Authorized Specialized Retailer on a regular
basis, depending on use. The first inspection should be performed within 200 km / 120 miles. See
detailed service schedule on page 21.
5. GENERAL NOTES ABOUT RIDING
The motor provides pedal assistance so long as force is applied to the pedals 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 no
force is applied to the pedals, the motor will not provide any assistance.
The Levo bicycle can also be ridden as a normal bicycle without motor assistance by simply turning off the battery.
The same applies if the battery charge drops below 1%.
The Levo bicycles were designed with a specific intended use. This can be different depending on the model of
Levo bicycle. Refer to the Owner’s Manual for general information about your bicycle, and refer to the Appendix A
supplement (available at www.specialized.com) for information about structural weight limits and intended use.
Any use other than the intended use may subject the bicycle to unexpected stresses and failures, and will void the
warranty.
WARNING! Understand and recognize that the stresses imposed on your bicycle by riding at
speed, jumping or stunt riding may break or damage parts of the bicycle, which may result in loss
of control, serious injury or death.
As a battery operated motor-supported bicycle, the Levo bicycle has a limited range. Below are tips on how to
extend the range:
Use your momentum efficiently and look ahead. Any time braking force is applied, more pedal force is needed to
get the bicycle back up to speed.
Downshift before coming to a stop, so you are ready to start riding again in a low gear.
Shift gears regularly to stay in an optimal cadence range.
Check tire pressure regularly. Low pressure can cause the tires to roll inefficiently.
If your bicycle is exposed to cooler weather, keep the battery stored indoors until just before riding.
Do not expose your bicycle to prolonged excessive heat (e.g. direct sunlight).
Only carry the cargo you need. More cargo weight requires more energy to move.

7
WARNING! The acceleration of an electric bicycle can be faster than anticipated and may feel
unusual at first. Before your first ride, Specialized recommends using the lowest power ECO
mode and becoming familiar with the operation of the electric bicycle in a safe environment away
from other bicycles, pedestrians and/or vehicles. Please note that the system always launches in
TURBO mode as a default.
WARNING! The motor support is activated as soon as you step onto the pedals and the bicycle
is in motion. Specialized recommends being seated on the bicycle before applying force to the
pedals. 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.
WARNING! The brakes on Levo bicycles are more powerful than the motor. If you encounter
any problems while riding due to the acceleration and speed of the bicycle, use your brakes to
overcome the motor support and slow down the bicycle.
CAUTION: Specialized recommends changing gears regularly, as one would do with a non-motor
supported bicycle. Always reduce the pedal force before initiating a gear shift in order to reduce
wear on the drivetrain.
WARNING! Since the motor support allows for greater speeds and acceleration, Specialized
recommends paying particular attention to the terrain conditions when riding.
6. GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR LEVO
Pedal assist bicycles or EPACs (Electrically Power Assisted Cycles) are bicycles with an auxiliary motor that only
provides support when force is applied to the pedals. When you stop pedaling, the motor switches off. On pedal
assist bicycles where the motor support switches off automatically at a speed of 25 km/h (15 mph) a driver’s license
or insurance is typically not required. Depending on the country of sale, the motor support on your Levo bicycle will
switch off automatically at a speed of 25 km/h (15 mph) or 32 km/h (20 mph) (USA and Canada only).
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 bicycles
on public roads, cycling paths, and/or trails. There may also be applicable 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.
WARNING! The Levo bicycle is only approved for use by one person at a time. Do not use a child
carrier or trailer.

7. SYSTEM INTERFACE
SUPPORT MODES
1
- : TRAIL OR ECO
+ : TRAIL OR TURBO
POWER
The Levo motor support is available in three
different drive settings - TURBO, TRAIL and ECO.
TURBO MODE: The motor, while pedaling,
provides maximum (100%) support.
TRAIL MODE: The motor, while pedaling,
provides 50% support (default).
ECO MODE: The motor, while pedaling,
provides 20% (default).
The various modes (TURBO, TRAIL and ECO)
are managed using the +/- buttons on the Trail
Display, located on the side of the battery (fig.1).
In addition, the drive system can be controlled
through a variety of devices (Mission Control App
or select LEV-supported computers) by being able
to access additional control features.
To switch into a different support mode, press the +or -button on the battery, app or computer. After reaching the
strongest or weakest mode, the system will not continue to switch. To reduce from TURBO to TRAIL to ECO, you
have to press the -button. To increase from ECO to TRAIL to TURBO, you have to press the +button.
The support modes affect how much support the motor delivers based on your pedaling input.
Generally, more support provides faster acceleration and easier climbing at the expense of shorter
range and greater chance of wheelspin. Lower power modes that provide less support result in
longer battery run times, longer range, and more control in situations where traction is limited.
Specialized recommends experimenting with the power settings that work best for your riding
style and conditions.
The level of motor support in TURBO, TRAIL and ECO modes can be customized for your individual
needs. Using the Mission Control App or with help from your local Authorized Specialized Retailer,
you can adjust the ECO and TRAIL modes to provide between 10% and 70% of motor support.
CONNECTIVITY OPTIONS
The motor support system provides a high degree of interface flexibility, through Bluetooth and/or ANT+
connectivity. Depending on the device and the connectivity option, a variety of features can be accessed.
BLUETOOTH LE:
The Mission Control App (iOS or Android) provides an enhanced ride experience by recording rides while syncing with Strava,
eliminating “range anxiety” with the Smart Control function, GPS-based navigation, and system diagnostics. Android and iOS
devices can sync to all Levo bicycles via Bluetooth LE. Visit Google Play or the Apple App Store for the latest version of the free
Mission Control App. All Mission Control functionality instructions can be found within the App itself.
ANT+:
The ANT+ Protocol offers a range of devices that sync with the Levo bicycles.
The LEV (Light Electric Vehicle) profile allows visibility of additional types of data, including cadence, rider power
output, motor temperature, battery temperature, battery State of Charge, and speed while also allowing some
support mode control. For an up-to-date list of LEV compatible ANT+ devices go to https://www.thisisant.com/
directory/filter/~/~/~/200/.
The “Fake Channel” option displays the battery State of Charge on any ANT+ cycling device that has an unused
Power, Heart rate, or Cadence channel. The Mission Control App must be used to select this option.

STARTING THE SYSTEM
On start-up, the system always launches in TURBO mode.
To start the system, press and hold the power button (fig.1) located on the non-drive-side of the battery, until the
LEDs come on. When the system is switched on, the LEDs will glow green. The number of LEDs that glow green
will depend on the level of charge in the battery.
To switch the support off again, press and hold the power button until the LEDs turn off.
8. BATTERY / CHARGER
Always adhere to the following instructions when handling or charging the battery or when using the Levo bicycle:
Only use the Levo battery with the Levo bicycle. Do not use the Levo battery with any other bicycle or any other
battery with the Levo bicycle, even if it fits.
Always turn the battery off before connecting or disconnecting the wiring harness or charger to or from the battery.
Turn off the battery, unplug the charger from the battery and remove the battery from the Levo bicycle before
performing work of any kind, such as installation, maintenance, cleaning, repair and/or transportation.
Before riding the bicycle, make sure the battery is properly secured in the frame.
When transporting or handling the battery separately from the Levo bicycle, ensure the battery is OFF. Touching
the contacts when the battery is ON can result in electric shock and/or injury.
WHEN CHARGING THE BATTERY:
Regularly inspect the battery and charger for damage. Never charge a battery which you suspect is damaged or
know is broken, and do not use it.
Make sure the charging socket and plug are dry before connecting and charging the battery.
Only use the Specialized charger supplied with the bicycle or other chargers approved by Specialized. Inspect
the charger before every use for possible damage to the charger itself, the cable or the charging plug. Never use
a charger which you suspect is damaged or know is broken.
OBSERVE AND OBEY:
Do not modify, open or disassemble the battery or charger. Modification or disassembly may result in a short
circuit, fire or malfunction.
The battery is very heavy. Be careful when handling it and do not drop it.
Do not allow any nails, screws or other small, sharp and/or metallic objects to come in contact with the battery or
the battery’s charging socket.
Do not allow the battery to overheat. Protect the battery from excessive sun exposure.
Do not expose the battery to an open fire or radiator heat.
Do not submerge the battery in water.
Do not allow the battery to short-circuit. Keep the battery away from metal objects that can cause a short-circuit.
Do not use a battery that shows any signs of damage to the casing or charging port, or is leaking any fluids.
Battery liquid can cause skin irritation and burns. In the event of damage that results in skin or eye contact with any
liquid from the battery, immediately flush with water and seek medical assistance.
WARNING! Failure to follow the instructions in this section may result in damage to electrical
components on your bicycle and will void your warranty, but, most importantly, may result in
serious personal injury or death. If your battery or charger exhibits any signs of damage, do not
use it and immediately bring it to your Authorized Specialized Retailer for inspection.

CHARGING AND USING THE BATTERY
1
BATTERY
Your bicycle is powered by a modern lithium ion (Li-ion) battery (fig.1). Li-ion batteries offer a large capacity (range) at
low weight, and do not suffer from memory effect.
Charge: The battery can be charged whether installed in the bicycle or not. Charge the battery only within the
temperature range of 0° C (+32° F) to +50° C (+122° F). For safety reasons, if the battery is too hot, it will not charge.
Operation: Only operate the battery between the temperature range of -20° C (-4° F) and +70° C (+158° F).

During the charging process, the diode on the charger will glow red (fig.2). When the battery is fully charged, the
diode on the charger will turn green.
CAUTION: If the red LED flashes during the charging process, a charging error has occurred. In
that case, immediately remove the charger from the socket, discontinue use of the motor support
and contact your Authorized Specialized Retailer.
The Battery Management System (BMS) is designed to protect a fully discharged battery from
damage for a period of time. However, in order to maintain the best possible battery performance
and lifespan, Specialized recommends regularly recharging the battery to at least ¾full (7 LEDs).
Please note that Li-ion batteries gradually lose capacity depending on age and use. Strongly reduced
operating time after charging can be a sign that the battery is reaching the end of its useful life
and has to be replaced. Provided the bicycle has been used properly, approximately 75% of the
battery’s original capacity should remain after 300 charging cycles or two years. Replacement
batteries can be purchased from your Authorized Specialized Retailer.

from the bicycle before cleaning the battery.
CAUTION: Never use a high-pressure cleaner when cleaning your Levo bicycle. Instead, use a dry
or slightly damp cloth. Please ensure no water comes into contact with the electrical components
while washing. Ask your Authorized Specialized Retailer for additional information about cleaning
your bicycle.
STORAGE
CAUTION: If the battery is not being used for an extended period of time, remove the battery from
the frame and store it in a dry, well ventilated area and leave it uncovered. Only store the battery in a
cool location, below +35° C (+95° F).
If the battery is stored and not in use for extended periods of time, be sure to charge the battery at
least every three months. If the battery is not charged over a period longer than three months, it
can cause damage to the battery.
We do not recommend leaving the battery connected to the charger for extended periods after the
battery is charged.
TRANSPORT
Transporting and/or shipping your Levo battery may be subject to certain restrictions and may
require special handling, labelling, and/or packaging. Be sure to inform yourself beforehand of all
applicable legal requirements and regulations in your country or state. Your Authorized Specialized
Retailer may also have helpful information available. When carrying the battery outside the frame,
Specialized recommends using an approved battery transport box.
CAUTION: Be aware that your Levo bicycle is significantly heavier than a bicycle without motor
support. Use caution when handling, carrying or lifting your Levo bicycle.

AUTOSAG AIR SHOCK SETUP
Levo FSR bicycles are equipped with AUTOSAG, a unique new feature designed to simplify and speed up the
adjustment of air pressure. The AUTOSAG feature automatically determines the correct amount of sag, and
eliminates the need to refer to an air chart to determine the correct pressure based on rider weight. However, the
shock still requires compression and rebound adjustment based on type of terrain and rider weight. Once the air
pressure is set, please refer to the compresson settings (page 16) and the rebound chart (page 17).
Air pressures, rebound and compression settings are suggested starting point recommendations
only. They should be adjusted according to the rider’s needs for each type of terrain to achieve
optimal performance. Shock air pressure can be set up manually to rider preference instead of
using AUTOSAG if desired.
SETTING AUTOSAG

1. Position the shock compression lever or knob (blue) to the full
open or off position
1
. Remove the positive air valve cap (black)
and the AUTOSAG valve cap (red).
2. Attach a high-pressure shock pump to the positive air valve
2
,
then inflate to 300 PSI.
3. Make sure you are wearing all gear that would normally be worn
on a ride (shoes, helmet, hydration pack if used, etc.). Mount the
bicycle, prop up against a wall, and sit in the saddle in a normal
riding position. Do not set sag while riding.
4. Press the AUTOSAG valve
3
. Air will release as the suspension
settles into its pre-adjusted sag point. Make sure all the air is out
and release the valve.
5. Cycle the shock a few times
4
, then dismount the bicycle.
6. Do not depress the AUTOSAG valve again, otherwise the proper
sag setting will be lost, and will require this procedure to be
repeated from step #2.
7. Put the positive air and AUTOSAG valve caps back on.
Do not exceed 350psi before activating the AUTOSAG valve (this is a starting pressure only). After
the AUTOSAG is activated, Fox recommends a maximum working pressure of 300psi when riding.
If the pre-sag air pressure is too low, the AUTOSAG button may let air out of the negative chamber,
which would result in incorrect sag.
Sag is measured as the distance between the o-ring and the shock body’s seal, after the rider’s
weight has been applied to the bicycle, with no bounce. When AUTOSAG is correctly set, sag
should measure approximately 20-30% of stroke, depending on riding/terrain experience. If
the rider is approaching 300lbs, AUTOSAG may not function, and sag may exceed the bicycle’s
prescribed amount.
ADJUSTING COMPRESSION
Fox DPS shocks are equipped with a 3-position lever for on-the-fly adjustments of the shock performance under
significant changes in terrain, and is intended to be adjusted throughout the ride.
OPEN: Optimized for the perfect balance of control and plushness for steep, aggressive descents.
• Factory Series shocks are equipped with the “OPEN MODE ADJUST” feature, with 3 additional fine tuning adjustments.
• “Open mode adjust” is useful to control shock performance during rider weight shifts, G-outs, and slow inputs.
• Lift the adjuster, rotate it to the 1, 2, or 3 position, and press it in to lock the position. Fox recommends making these
adjustments with the 3-position lever in the Medium or Firm mode.
• Setting 1 will have a more plush feel and setting 3 will have a firmer feel.
MEDIUM: Moderate for an optimal blend of pedaling efficiency and bicycle control on variable terrain.
FIRM: The firmest setting for maximum pedaling efficiency.

ADJUSTING REBOUND
The rebound adjustment (red knob) is dependent on rider weight. For example, a higher rider weight requires a
slower rebound setting. Refer to the rebound chart below to find your rebound setting.
Turn your rebound knob to the closed position (full clockwise) until it stops. Then back it out (counter-clockwise) to
the number of clicks shown in the table below.
Rebound controls the rate of speed at which the shock extends after compressing.
Clockwise for slower rebound (slow speed, bigger hits).
Counter-clockwise for faster rebound (higher speeds, small bumps, more traction).
