Specialized Turbo Levo SL Kids
Capability
At only 36.6 pounds and with plenty of power, it disappears beneath them leaving nothing but fun trail experiences. Plus, with a trusted motor and long battery life, riders can keep up with their parents on the trails.
Amplification
The advanced Turbo OS is the key to combining their own energy with the power of the Levo SL Kids. It doubles the rider’s effort so smoothly and seamlessly that it feels like it’s them, only faster. But Turbo OS offers more than just power and range, it also keeps track of where and how you ride. It monitors motor and battery health and can receive over-the-air updates to improve performance over time. The Turbo OS is the heart of a more awesome riding experience and is how you and your Levo SL Kids can grow better together.
Kid Friendly Design
Every aspect of the bike has been designed to fit young riders perfectly. The bike’s Retül-backed progressive geometry features a low standover for confidence, and ensures long-term fit with a growing child. The slackened head angle and lengthened reach create more stability while short chainstays help for maximum maneuverability and responsiveness. With a RockShox Reba 100mm AIR fork, SRAM NX 11-speed drivetrain, and reach adjustable SRAM Level T hydraulic brakes, and a short-travel dropper post to enhance their descending capabilities. The Levo SL Kids is built to ride hard, go big, and last the long haul.
Mission Control/MasterMind
The same sophisticated and highly adjustable system used on our full-size bikes, Mission Control, enables highly adjustable control for the Levo SL Kids. Two available max speed settings for motor assist: Parents can choose between 10 mph (recommended for younger children and/or children new to e-bikes) and 15.5 mph (for older and more experienced riders). Speed settings can be adjusted by an Authorized Specialized Retailer.
Ride Anywhere Range
The same 320wh battery and motor that powers the adult’s Levo SL drives the new Levo SL Kids. The full size Levo SL, piloted by an adult, gives you up to 5 hours of range. With a much smaller rider on Levo SL Kids, the range goes up considerably. Trust us, the only juice you should be worried about running out of is the kind squeeze from a fruit.
