A NOTE FOR PARENTS OR GUARDIANS OF INTENDED RIDERS
As the parent or guardian of the intended rider, you are responsible for the activities and safety of the rider. Review this manual’s warnings, the bicycle’s functions, and the bicycle’s operating
procedures with the rider before letting them ride the bicycle. Make sure to check the following:
That the bicycle correctly fits the rider.
That it is in good repair and safe operating condition.
That you and the rider have learned and understand the safe operation of the bicycle.
That you and the rider have learned, understand, and are capable of obeying not only the applicable local motor vehicle, bicycle, and traffic laws but also the common-sense rules of safe and
responsible bicycling.
WARNING! Make sure the rider is always wearing an approved bicycle helmet when riding. Make sure the rider understands that a bicycle helmet is for bicycling only and
must be removed when not riding. A helmet must not be worn while playing, in play areas, on playground equipment, while climbing trees, or at any time while not riding
a bicycle. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious injury or death.
WARNING! Make sure that the bicycle is the correct size for the rider. When the saddle is adjusted correctly, both feet should touch the ground comfortably. If the new
bicycle does not fit, ask your dealer to exchange it before the rider rides.
Before we get started, a few words about electric bicycles.
Unlike regular bicycles, Specialized electric bicycles have highly-sophisticated electrical components, including a motor, an integrated battery, sensors, display unit(s), and wiring. Be careful
not to damage these electrical components. Do not expose any electrical components to water (e.g., do not pressure-wash the bicycle), drop or otherwise damage the battery, touch any live
components, or open or otherwise tamper with electrical components. Be mindful that the lithium-ion battery, when sufficiently charged, has enough energy stored to potentially start a fire.
Follow the instructions in this manual when it comes to charging, transporting, cleaning, or storing the battery carefully, all of which should be done by a responsible adult only.
Not following these instructions may have serious consequences and can result in a fire, which may cause injury to the rider or others in the surrounding area. Be sure to read this manual in its
entirety and call us if you have any questions.
WARNING! Please read and familiarise yourself with the Important Safety Instructions pertaining to the risk of fire or electric shock in section 10.1. of this User Manual
before riding or servicing your bicycle.
WARNING! Be careful not to damage or expose electrical components to water. Do not pressure wash the battery, motor, or any other electrical components. Damaging
electrical components or exposing them to water may start a fire which can result in serious injury or even death.
WARNING! Always be present when charging the battery and disconnect it when it is fully charged. Do not leave the battery plugged in or let it charge overnight.
Immediately disconnect the battery from the charger if you encounter any problem during the charging process, e.g., if the charger or battery get extremely hot or when
the LED lights signal a problem. Failure to follow this warning can result in a fire which can result in serious injury or even death.

The Levo SL HT is classified as an EPAC (Electrically power assisted cycle, otherwise known
as a pedelec), and is referred to in this manual as a bicycle unless otherwise noted.
Additional languages are available for download at www.specialized.com.
When reading this user manual, you will note various important symbols and warnings, which
are explained below:
WARNING! The combination of this symbol and word indicates a
potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious
injury or death. Many of the Warnings say “the rider may lose control and
fall.” Because any fall can result in serious injury or even death, we do not
always repeat the warning of possible injury or death.
CAUTION: The combination of the safety alert symbol and the word
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided,
may result in minor or moderate injury, or is an alert against unsafe
practices.
The word CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indicates a
situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious damage to the bicycle
or the voiding of your warranty.
This symbol alerts the reader to information which is particularly important.
This symbol means that high quality grease should be applied as illustrated.
This symbol highlights the correct torque value for a specific bolt. In order
to achieve the specified torque value, a quality torque wrench must be
used.
Tech Tips are useful tips and tricks regarding installation and use.
WARNING – HOT SURFACE! The combination of this symbol and words
indicates a potentially hazardous situation involving a surface too hot to
touch that, if not avoided, could result in burn injuries of various degrees.

tampering with the power output and/or system is prohibited and will void
the warranty.
Before letting a minor ride a Levo SL HT bicycle, please inform yourself of all
applicable legal requirements and regulations in your country or state. There
may be restrictions on riding the Levo SL HT 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
the Levo SL HT 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.
4.3. STRUCTURAL WEIGHT LIMITS
LEVO SL HT MODEL MAX CARGO WEIGHT STRUCTURAL

LEVO SL HT 24 22 LB / 10 KG 220 lb / 100 kg
STRUCTURAL WEIGHT LIMIT: The maximum total weight (rider and cargo) a bicycle is
designed and tested to support structurally.
CARGO WEIGHT LIMIT: The maximum cargo weight a bicycle has been designed and tested
to support structurally.
WARNING! This Specialized bicycle is designed and tested for use by one
person at a time. See the information above for intended use weight limits
and height restrictions.
WARNING! Do not attach a child carrier, trailer, or similar accessory to this
bicycle, either directly or indirectly.
For more information on the intended use and structural weight limits for the
frame and components, please refer to the Owner’s Manual.
4. GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEVO SL HT
4.1. INTENDED USE
The Turbo Levo SL HT is designed for riders between the height of 1.22 m / 48 in and 1.50 m / 59
in and is intended and tested for general-purpose riding (condition 3) use only.
CONDITION 3
Bikes designed for riding conditions 1 and 2, plus rough trails, small obstacles,
and smooth technical areas, including areas where momentary loss of tire
contact with the ground may occur. NOT for jumping. All mountain bikes
without rear suspension are condition 3, as well as some lightweight rear
suspension models.
INTENDED
For cross-country riding which ranges from mild to aggressive over
intermediate terrain (e.g., hilly with small obstacles like roots, rocks, loose
surfaces, hard pack and depressions). Cross-country equipment (tires,
shocks, frames, drive trains) are light-weight, favoring nimble speed over brute
force. Suspension travel is relatively short since the bike is intended to move
quickly on the ground.
NOT
INTENDED
Not for hardcore freeriding, extreme downhill, dirt jumping, slopestyle, or very
aggressive or extreme riding. Not for spending time in the air, landing hard and
hammering through obstacles.
TRADE OFF
Cross-country bikes are lighter, faster to ride uphill, and more nimble than all-
mountain bikes. Cross-country and marathon bikes trade off some ruggedness
for pedaling efficiency and uphill speed.
4.2. PEDELEC / EPAC
The Levo SL HT is classified as an Pedelec/EPAC. Regardless of its classification, it provides
motor support only while pedaling. The motor support automatically shuts off when the rider
reaches a maximum assistance speed depending on the country of purchase.
Depending on the classification, there can be different requirements and regulations affecting
the use of the bicycle. 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).
Information on the various conditions can be found in the Specialized Bicycle
Owner's Manual.

ENITESPTCNTCNSJP KR
5. GENERAL NOTES ABOUT RIDING
The Levo SL HT motor provides pedal assistance only while the rider 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 the rider stops pedaling, the motor will stop providing any
assistance.
The Levo SL HT bicycle can also be ridden like a regular 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 SL HT offers a unique riding experience for the
rider, compared to a bicycle without motor assist. Pay particular attention to all warnings and
maintenance instructions, and ensure the rider understands the following points before riding.
These riding tips ensure the rider has a fun and safe experience when riding the Levo SL HT,
and may also reduce component wear, and increase battery range. Riders should:
Always ride at a comfortable, efficient cadence, and look ahead.
Pay attention to their speed going into a corner, and be sure they stop pedaling well before
entering a corner.
Keep their feet on the pedals at all times during riding.
Be aware that more energy is needed to get the bicycle back up to speed when braking
force is applied.
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.
Be aware that braking while steering may reduce the ability of the rider to control the
bicycle.
Check tire pressure regularly. Low pressure can cause the tires to roll inefficiently.
Do Not expose the bicycle to prolonged excessive heat (e.g., direct sunlight).
Only carry needed cargo. More weight will drain the battery faster.
Keep the bicycle stored indoors until just before riding if they plan to ride in cooler
temperatures (0 °C - 32 °F).
WARNING! The motor support is activated as soon as the rider steps onto the
pedals, and the bicycle is in motion. The rider should be seated on the bicycle
and engage at least one brake before starting to pedal. The rider should 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 acceleration of an electric bicycle can be faster than
anticipated and may feel unusual at first. Before the first ride, the bicycle
should be in the lowest power ECO mode and the rider should become familiar
with the operation of the electric bicycle by practicing starting, 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, the rider should also pay particular attention to terrain
conditions as they may approach obstacles faster than expected. Please note
the default motor support mode upon startup is always TRAIL mode.
CAUTION: The weight of the Levo SL HT is significantly higher than a bicycle
without motor support. The rider should 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! The rider should use caution when viewing or using the display
while riding, as it can be distracting and can lead to accidents. The rider
should always stop before changing settings or operating the various
functions of the display.
WARNING – HOT SURFACE! Do not touch exposed motor casings during or
after motor use. The motor can become extremely hot, especially after long or
intense use such as going up a prolonged steep climb. Turn off the system and
allow the motor to cool down before handling.
5.2. BEFORE RIDING
Regardless of the rider’s experience level, you should read and ensure they understand the
“FIRST” section of the Owner’s Manual (Bike Fit, Safety First, Mechanical Safety Check, and
First Ride) and as the parent or guardian carry out all essential safety checks.
In addition, make sure the rider is familiar with the following areas of the bicycle that are
specific to electric bicycles.t

9
BEFORE THE FIRST RIDE:
BATTERY: Is the battery fully charged? Is the battery charge port door properly closed?
MASTERMIND TCU DISPLAY: Is the rider familiar with the function and features of the
display?
REMOTE: Is the rider familiar with the operation of the buttons on the remote? Does the
rider know how to use the remote to change the motor support level from OFF to ECO to
TRAIL to TURBO?
BEFORE EVERY RIDE:
BATTERY: Does the battery have sufficient battery charge? Is the battery charge port door
properly closed?
MASTERMIND TCU DISPLAY: Is the display functioning correctly?
REMOTE: Is the rider familiar with the operation of the buttons on the remote? Does the
rider know how to use the remote to change the motor support level from OFF to ECO to
TRAIL to TURBO?
WARNING! If the 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. CALCULATE RANGE
You and the rider should know the range of the electric bicycle before the rider starts a
ride. You can calculate the range by visiting www.specialized.com, selecting this Turbo
bicycle model, then clicking on the range calculator. In addition to the range calculator, we
recommend using the Smart Control feature in the Specialized App to control the riders range.
5.4. REMOVABLE YELLOW STICKER
This Levo SL HT bicycle has a removable yellow
sticker adhered to the frame stating the bicycle
serial number. Remove this sticker from the
bicycle and place it on the last page of this
manual for future reference.
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 SL HT bicycle, proper assembly
requires a high degree of mechanical expertise, skill, training, and specialty
tools. Therefore, it is essential for the rider’s safety that the assembly,
maintenance, and troubleshooting be performed by an Authorized Specialized
Retailer.
Before their first ride, make sure all 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 SL HT, including, but not limited to
the motor, battery, and cable guides, are proprietary to the Levo SL HT. 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 SL HT specific components should only be used on the Levo
SL HT and not on other bicycles, even if they fit. Failure to follow this warning
could result in serious injury or death.
WARNING! Never modify the frame or bicycle in any way. Do not sand, drill,
file, or remove parts from this 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 the
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 the bicycle to your Authorized Specialized Retailer.

10
ENITESPTCNTCNSJP KR
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 specification.
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.
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.
The tolerance of the ream depth can vary from frame to frame. Install a
regular 30.9 mm seatpost in the seat tube to verify the actual ream depth
of the frame.
The seat tube is designed for a 30.9 mm post but a smaller diameter
seatpost can be used with a shim.
WARNING! Failure to follow the seatpost and frame insertion requirements
may result in damage to the frame and/or seatpost, which could cause the
rider 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 the rider to lose control and
fall.
WARNING! Before your first ride and regularly thereafter, ensure the pedals
are tightened to specification. Pedals can loosen over time depending on the
type and frequency of use. This is especially true if they were not installed
properly. Riding with loose pedals may damage the threads and the pedal may
disengage from the crank, which can result in a loss of control of the bicycle.
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.
No tools are needed for installation or removal of both bearings. Grease the bearing
surfaces before installation.
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

6.3. DERAILLEUR HANGER
The Levo SL HT 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 12, or refer to the SRAM UDH User Manual.
6.4. SPEED SENSOR
The Levo SL HT 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 the speed sensor magnet for an accumulation of dirt and/or metal debris and
clean accordingly. The frequency of the cleaning depends on 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 countersunk flat head) attach the speed sensor magnet to the rotor.

7. GENERAL NOTES ABOUT MAINTENANCE
The Levo SL HT 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 the maintenance of the 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.
General bicycle maintenance such as cleaning, lubrication, and bicycle setup and adjustment
should always be performed or supervised by an adult. Refer to your local Authorized
Specialized Retailer if you do not have the relevant tools or experience.
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 the rider hears any creaks, sees signs of excessive wear,
discovers 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 SL HT 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 the 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.
Clean and lubricate the drivetrain according to the drivetrain manufacturer’s instructions.

14
ENITESPTCNTCNSJP KR
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
car parked in the sun 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 the riding 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 the bicycle and will void the warranty, but,
most importantly, may result in serious personal injury or death. If the 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 the rider 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.
WARNING! Do not modify or attempt to repair the e-bike system except as
indicated in this user manual.
7.1. REPLACEMENT PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
Specialized replacement parts and accessories are available through your Authorized
Specialized Retailer.
7.2. MOTOR SUPPORT ACTIVATION
As mentioned in this manual, with the system powered on, the motor support will activate
as soon as the cranks are rotated and torque is detected. This can also happen when not
actively riding the bicycle, e.g., when the bicycle is in a work stand or flipped upside down
and the cranks are turned or the chain is moved (which then turns the cranks), when walking
alongside and pushing the bicycle and the cranks are turned, or any other scenario where the
cranks are turned, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and the wheels are moving. What
this means is that the system should be powered off if motor assist is not desired to avoid any
unintentional engagement of the motor.
Below are examples of situations where you/the rider MUST ensure the bike is powered OFF:
Pushing the bicycle along without walk-assist activated.
Loading the bicycle for transportation (e.g., car or train).
Carrying the bicycle (e.g. over stairs).
Fixing a dropped chain.
Installing or removing a pedal.
Changing a flat tire.
Performing chain/drivetrain maintenance.
Performing general maintenance and repairs.
Washing the bicycle.
