Specialized Turbo Levo FSR vs Bulls e-Stream EVO3

Hi there,

I am struggling to decide bewteen these two, since they are both in the same price range (Levo is 139€ more expensive only).
I do now weekend routes of about 30-40km and I am sure I will do the same and even more with the ebike.

The Bulls has the 750Wh battery vs the 504Wh of the Levo. I guess that with the Levo it would be enough for me, but I expect that as soon as I ride it, I will do more kms in total, so I am considering the Bulls.

Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance!

Even when the engine is the same, do both manage the power likely?
Maybe my question makes no sense I am a newbie in ebikes. :-/

I rode an earlier version of the Specialized on a long trek and it was fun; tried the Bulls around a parking lot and didn't see much difference. My friend has a Bulls and it has been "bulls"et-proof (pun intended) for a couple of years of riding. I think you'll be delighted with either, but the larger battery is a consideration if you'll use it. In any case, from my experience, if you run out of battery these bikes pedal well.

Better battery IMO. Longer range bike. Brose vs Specialized motor?
You really need to try both of them yourself. They all ride and delivery power just a bit differently.
Bulls have been making eMTBs for a while longer, haven't they?
I tried half a dozen before I bought.

Thanks a lot for your answers. I tried once only a few kms though, the turbo levo from 2017. I have to admit that I liked it. Now I was ready to buy one but I saw in a bike shop the bulls. Of course the salesman told me that it was just amazing and that many specialized turbo levo people went there complaining about the battery range, and ended up with a Bulls, but of course he needs to convince me about this.
Si this was the main reason of my question, looking for non sales point of view, but real users.

Thanks a lot for your answers and thoughts.

I have found that the Bulls weight is 24.9kg and the TL, not the basic but the carbon fiber one, weights 21.8 kg so for sure the basic TL may be over this weight. Then I wonder about the weight difference and the better battery range of the Bulls... The main issue is that I really like the design of the TL, so I need to really convince myself about the Bulls being a better option.
And I cannot find any review of the Bulls.

Thanks again for sharing your thoughts
