This section outlines a small inventory of critical replacement parts that a retailer should keep in stock to help diagnose issues effectively
and efficiently. Diagnosis of a Levo drive system issue typically requires the replacement of various components of the system with
known functional parts to determine which components are functional or non-functional through a process of elimination. It is much
like finding a creak in a bike. A small inventory of parts will save considerable time and money on ordering and shipping replacement
parts individually for diagnosis purposes. In addition, some components are wear items that a Levo retailer will want to have in stock to
perform service for their customers.
Magnet holder including magnet plate,
anodized black : S166800012
The drive system must recognize the bike is in motion before
it can activate the motor. Motion is detected when the magnet
mounted on the rear brake rotor passes a reed switch in the
speed sensor. The speed sensor then sends a signal to activate
the motor. The motor will not provide power if the magnet is not
attached to the rotor. Riders with multiple wheel sets will need
a magnet on each wheel that is used with the Levo or the rider
will need to transfer the magnet to the other rear wheel rotor.
Recommended inventory: 2-3
Motor-to-battery harness : S176800002
Specification change - S176800002 replaces S166800008
and is backward compatible. S176800002 is a longer harness
length of 180 mm versus the original 165 mm length.
Riders who frequently unplug the battery from the system will
wear out the connector which will require replacement.
Remember, to diagnose system issues, various parts,
including wire harnesses, must be replaced with a known
functional part to eliminate it as a source of the issue.
Recommended inventory: 1
Speed Sensor : S166800018
The speed sensor, much like a traditional cycle computer, is a
wire with a reed switch at the end. While a reed switch rarely
fails, if it does, or if a rider damages the speed sensor, the motor
will not receive a signal to activate and will not operate.
Recommended inventory: 1-2
