No, you can't "derestrict" it to have more power. Even if you could unlock the firmware, and you can't, it's built for absolute minimum weight and would burn up.
There's nothing wrong with the bike itself. But in my experience, you probably won't be happy with it. That's why resale is so bad: everyone buys it, realizes they should have bought a full-power Class 1 ebike, and passes it on to another rider just getting into ebikes who finds out the same thing.

I do really like these newer lighter weight ebikes that are coming out. I tried to talk my wife into one, but she doesn't want to ride an ebike.
Once the knee was recovered I sold it for the reason others cite. For my local trails I'd rather ride my lighter weight Yeti. For longer trails with 1500+ vertical foot logging-road climbs to the top I'd rather have a lot more power and a bigger battery for more runs..
The Levo SL is a great e-bike for the right person, but in my opinion it's a niche market.
I really wanted to be at $5K and a carbon ebike. What are your guys thoughts?
Which bike is the best bang for your bucks and features?

Do you think at $5K is a good price or potentially can drop more and how did you get the store to absorb the tax?
For the levos specifically, theon you linked is a downgraded model with a smaller battery and a downgraded display. The comp aluminum has the same display but a larger battery. The comp carbon is the lowest level with the full featured display. I put a down payment on the carbon comp before I found an unexpected deal for a Santa Cruz that I couldn't pass up.
For ebikes generally, the bosch motor is generally the most powerful and can be repaired. The levo (brose) is the quietest and isn't far off for power. It has by far the best software and display. Shimano has the largest dealer network but is NOT serviceable, so if anything goes wrong you have to replace the entire motor. Specialized is great about warranty replacement for the two years the warranty lasts. The bosch and shimano motor warranties will rely on who made your bike (and your local shop).
The new SL takes a completely new approach in design (non integrated battery, & weight without one is under 30lbs @ expensive builds tested). Motor is refined and better than this.
The light eMTBs are a niche. Not for keeping up with other full power eMTBs, but for an extra ooomph if you are enjoying it solo, or trying to keep up with much stronger friends on regular bikes, or you want to keep you fitness up in the recovery days w/o throwing around a 50lbs full power bike, or if you are doing eMTB tourism by air and cannot fly with integrated batteries that are yuge.
Guys with the walmart bikes, or upvoting those not in the market for a new emtb that post one-liners for the lulz, congrats: you bought used cars for less 10y ago? Cool beans. Others paid markups 2* more than this bike to buy a new car last couple of years...for them is "cheap". It's all perspective.
Long story short, I'd skip this SL v1. Not because I'd be happy with a walmart bike like some commenting here, but because there are better horses for those courses already.
