Orbea Wild
YT Decoy
Specialized Kenevo

I can't wait for my Orbea.

 

[Streetdoctor]

Only bad thing I've heard about orbea is their customer service sucks. At least in the colorado region. Anything warranty takes forever...

 

[kntr]

I hope not. My LBS said they would go right through Bosch for motor or battery warranty work.

 

[Streetdoctor]

Thats probably true but expect anything else to take forever. I talked to a guy yesterday who ordered the updated linkage for his Rallon and it took 3 months

Thats why I ended up with a Levo. Take the spacers out of the shock and change the fork travel to 160 and it's now a 158/160 bike. Specialized warranty turn around is 2 days in Colorado.

I had a Levo and it needed a new motor after 491 miles. I had a new motor in a week but I didn't want to be replacing motors every 500 miles.

 

[oclvframe]

what was the nature of the failure of the motor?

 

[Salespunk]

Clutches are failing if there is heavy use of Turbo mode, specifically switching between Trail/Turbo on singletrack climbs. From what I have seen, Specialized has instituted a running change quietly. A lot of my friends replaced their motors early on and now have zero issues after replacement.

 

[kntr]

I believe inner bearing. It was all gritty and noisy. My Buddys is going the same thing at 750 miles.

 

[kntr]

A specialized rep told our LBS the same thing.

 

[matt4x4]

Of course they will say it wont take long. They just want the sale.
I have a friend who bought an etrike from Honda stealership, months and months and more months. A simple crash he said. With diy components might be a one month wait for slow boat from china to come.
