Chainring steel, 104 BCD : S161400009
This is a 104 mm BCD chainring made specifically for Levo by Praxis
Works. There are two features that make the chainring ideal for Levo:
• It is made of steel for durability.
• It has internal threads for the chainring bolts which eliminates
the need for backing nuts. If the chainring had backing nuts,
the spider would have to be removed to install the chainring.
While standard 104 mm BCD chainrings are compatible with the
Levo spider, performance could be compromised because:
• Most standard chainrings are made of aluminum and
will wear more quickly than a steel chainring.
• Most standard chainrings do not have internal
threads for the chainring bolts so the spider
must be removed to install the chainring.
• Use of a chainring larger than the stock 32T may inhibit climbing
and make larger gears less useful because the larger gears will
be difficult to engage until the speed is above the speed limiter
(i.e. the speed is above the limit where the motor is required to
turn off).
Refer to the
First Ride Tips
later in this guide for climbing tips.
Max chainring: 36T with chain guide; 38T without chain guide

Amazinger 2.0 Derailleur Hanger : S162600002
A straight, aligned derailleur hanger is more critical to shift
performance on a Levo bicycle versus a traditional bicycle because
the motor applies more torque through the rear of the bike. Any
misalignment of the derailleur hanger can cause shifting issues.
Retailers should encourage Levo riders to purchase a spare hanger
and keep it on hand in case the hanger is bent during a ride.
Battery mounting thru axle : S166800004
Levo riders who frequently remove the battery from the bike to
charge the system will most likely need to replace the thru axle
because of increased wear, damage, and/or loss of the axle.
