I'm thinking of selling my 2017 Levo, the battery and motor don't have miles on them both having been replaced recently (mileage wise). Problem is that I have absolutely no idea what sort of value second hand ebikes (especially of this age) are worth. So what would a good condition 2017 Levo be worth now? (I can work out some sort of value based on condition of mine from that) This is not a stealth ad, I'm not even sure I do want to sell it yet!
Check ebay selling history.
Also, do a search on EMTB Forum's for sale section. A few 2017 Levos in there. Prob a good place to advertise it.
Start at 3 grand and haggle.
E-bike market is buoyant to say the least. Most will struggle to find a new one in stock so secondhand sells well.
I just bought an ex demo levo comp (2019 30 cycles on battery) for 3.6k
Thanks all, looks like it might actually be worth something then!
I wouldn't dare buy a used ebike. Not without the cost of a new motor knocked off the price anyway.
Seeing lots of stories of motor replacement in warranty. With no guarantee you've got to factor in that as a likely cost.
They cost so much new, but because of that risk, potentially worth very little used.
Not reliable enough.

Used prices generally seem to high given the cost most people (ie those not servicing at home) will have servicing shocks, replacing bearings etc.. but factoring in a failed motor as well?
OP if they are going for good prices i'd sell as ASAP as possible
Mate of mine just sold his 1 year old Orbea wild for just south of 5 grand.
Specialised warranties transfer with the bike don't they ?
I bought from Alpine anyway so warrantied.
Not sure I'd be too worried about failure. I don't know anyone with a failed motor yet.

Say what now ?

Yes, as long as you have the original receipt. However, a 2017 Levo is going to be a long way outside the 2 year motor warranty.
Not sure I’d be too worried about failure. I don’t know anyone with a failed motor yet.
And I don’t know a single Levo or Kenevo owner who hasn’t had at least 1 motor under warranty.

Perhaps that's how I should have written it .
Ah, that's better. I was going to suggest that if your friends are lucky enough to own Levos on the original motor they should buy some lottery tickets... 😀

I was just browsing in our local ebike store (Rutland cycles) whilst the cats were having their annual checkup - loads of brand new Levos on display, no shortage of models / sizes in the shop.
I’d suggest to any sh buyer to do a motor rebuild check and espares availability/compatibility - a lot of the motors now have fixed prices type rebuild deals available so at least you can budget, pretty much everything else is std bike type issues.
*top tip - some motors seem to much more rebuildable than others.
