    Mission Control Mission Control App - Do you use it?

    .. or a last-known state and `rsync` / diff it with the bike when re-connected (or state all data will be lost on reconnect [mastership])

    Newbie, my hands ache during a ride and a couple of other questions .

    Agree with fitment test, if one is available. If that doesn't work, I have been dealing with this issue on my new bike (Levo SL) coming from an older bike (2013 StumpJumper FSR). Some of it was the major change in stock setups and adapting as well as +1 frame size for me with a completely...

    North Carolina Newbie

    I would use this as a guide if you are not familiar [0] There are some trails that do not allow eMTBs (Williamson Preserve). This is buried on each page's info and not readily available on the main page (that I have seen). As long as you are being respectful on-trail and not riding areas that...

    Mission Control Mission Control App - Do you use it?

    Do you use the Specialized Mission Control App? - Yes, albeit I am in my first week with it What do you like about it? First party, approved, clean UI that gives me the option to use a phone directly to get the important / core information I need for a side Really good if you have old phones...

    Levo SL Gen 1 New Owner! Assistance Resistance On/Off Question

    Hi all! After about a 6 month wait, I finally got my Turbo Levo SL Carbon Comp! I went out on a quick 6 mile ride with my daughter on the road between rain showers. When riding between assistance to no assistance (but Levo SL TCU on), I noted that I would get what felt like bottom bracket...

    Mission Control Mission Control App - Do you use it?

    Can't do that. It has already been reported, in direct public forums that @Rob Rides EMTB hosted for the launch of the Turbo Levo SL, that some riders DO NOT want their location or information tracked. Therefore, I doubt this will ever be a first party function due to data privacy concerns.

    Levo or Levo SL - can't decide

    I would assume that is determined by the motor and battery suppliers. Since it is mostly a modular construction (I made a frame, I am choosing X-motor which uses Y-batteries), it is more than likely convention at this point and economies of scale (+back support, warranty, etc). More than...

    Levo or Levo SL - can't decide

    Remember the Turbo Levo SL is running a 48V system, not a 36V system. It matters how much energy the motor is consuming. So, if you aren't pulling the same energy from the system with a lower consumption rate, you can make the battery smaller and get the same effective range... with less weight...

    Levo or Levo SL - can't decide

    As you may know, the real issue here is that most people cannot afford both and they offer different experiences. I personally had to really stretch to get to the first SL Carbon tier, and even then, I am asking myself why I didn't go Expert (reason: cost). With that in mind, people are having...

    Levo or Levo SL - can't decide

    Sounds like it was a godo ride. Why do you believe you should have gotten the SL? Just so you didn't ride as far or would have been on the bike less time with more effort? I am assuming the ride was still good and enjoyable if you did a complete 70km. :)

    eMTB deniers, not so much as haters, funny when they come around.

    hmm... that's a good analogy that I find myself on the different sides, depending on the topic. So, I am an eMTB + acoustic MTB rider. As I am getting older, the eMTB allows me to ride on down days and trails / epics I am not ready for, but I can at least go and have a shot. For cars, I am...

    Levo SL Gen 1 Mission Control: Is there a security / lockdown mode / GPS tracking?

    Hey All! Finally decided on a solution between the Levo "FF"/ Levo SL (the latter) and I am waiting for delivery in December. However, thinking about a 7k USD bike and riding around in the USA, I definitely need a bike lock / security solution. While looking for solutions for the back of the...

    Levo Gen 2 Levo limiter and power-off: What is the pedal resistance like?

    Thanks. What I really wanted to know is, at low speed or having to ride out of a ride due to malfunction / no battery, is the Levo impossible to ride and the Levo SL is at least somewhat possible? I do peak about 22 mph on my rides, but that is really on the brief downhill sections. I am mostly...

    Levo Gen 2 Levo limiter and power-off: What is the pedal resistance like?

    Thank you, all! I think that answers the logical questions as much as possible without getting on the Levo. Much appreciated!

    Levo Gen 2 Levo limiter and power-off: What is the pedal resistance like?

    Is this the case or worse for the FF Levo?

    Levo Gen 2 Levo limiter and power-off: What is the pedal resistance like?

    Note: I have not been able to test ride / demo a Levo as they are just not available in my region (within 100mi) to demo during COVID. At best, you get to ride around in a parking lot. Thus far, I have not even been able to find a Levo to do this :( My High Level Problem: Attempting to decide...
