If I was biking to work I'd be a sweaty mess at the end of it, and no place I worked at had shower facilities.
That wouldn't happen with an ebike.

Thanks for that. Do you recommend them? Are they good value compared to other bikes on the market?

Well I might as well get a car or motorbike or scooter or catch a bus or taxi with that attitude.
I've told you, put everything to the side you think of cycle transportation and take on board there's now a new commuting vehicle.
I don't want to be knackered or sweaty by the time I get to work, I don't have proper washing facilities.
That's besides the fact that on Friday I had my PreAMS for a full knee replacement, I can't actually ride a 'proper' bike.

I'd probably go for this though...

Two hundred quid cheaper and better specced...better gears and a bigger battery.
Plus you get a display which the Levo is lacking.
On the other hand, this may be a woman's bike!

Speak to your local dealer.
You may be able to get a better deal than advertised.
I managed a decent 20% discount on a 2020 levo on black Friday despite there being no deals shown on the 2020 bikes.
Also, if you have any issues, you'll be glad to have local support.
I had a problem with my front brake and was upgraded to some Shimano XTRs for the inconvenience.

Picked up my 2019 Specialized Turbo Levo HT 29 today. Had a quick spin around the block and it seems like its going to be a lot of fun. Heading into Epping Forest tomorrow to really try it out.

I've just bought two of these - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07R2D9QC8/ref=pe_3187911_189395841_TE_3p_dp_1
In the last 6 years I've had 3x bottle batteries die on me perhaps because I leave them on my bikes all the time in every type of weather conditions.
With these I'll be able to take them off and take them insdie.
