thanks - so i will try it out.
You have the 2.2 motor and 6.038 TCU version ?
And 2020 Levociraptor version ?

Hello riders, can someone tell me if levociraptor affects battery consumption. Recently I was riding in the mountains with a friend who also had a spec turbo levo, we both had 15% of support. After 50 kilometers, I only had 10% of the battery left and he had over 30%. I had levociraptor, he didn't. I was about 5 kilograms heavier than him. We did not exceed 25 km / h. Sorry for google translator.

I’ve had mine in for over a month now and haven’t seen any difference in battery consumption.

Derestrictors such as Velociraptor do not increase the amount of power supplied by the motor. The only thing that changes is that the motor can supply assistance above the factory speed cutoff. It's not going to consume more battery juice above the cutoff compared to below the cutoff unless the rider also puts more power into the pedals.
Based on looking at a bunch of BLEvo logs, I think you will drain the battery faster doing a steep climb at 10 kph than you will cruising a flat fire road at 30 kph. All of my logs show that my highest rider power happens on climbs (no surprise there). Highest rider power means highest motor power, which means highest rate of battery drain.

My bike wouldnt power up after i washed it. I tried pulling it apart and drying the wiring looms out but no luck. The TCU was completely dead.
So i removed the levoicraptor, and took it to my LBS without resetting anything (i couldn't... it was dead)
They replaced some wiring and got it working again, and then upgraded the TCU to 22.B, firmware 7.4.2.
They noticed the wheel circumference was "wrong" so they reset it.
I told them i was using Blevo, didnt mention the levoicraptor. They knew about Blevo, and suggested i may have issues with my warranty down the track if i need to use it.
Oh well, wait and see, fingers crossed I dont need to claim it.
Now the question is, do i reinstall the levoicraptor using the new updates. I guess i have already compromised my warranty so why stop now?

If only you didn’t admit to the Blevo app and play dumb, “in the voice of a scooby doo villain” “I would have got away with it if wasn’t for you pesky kids”

how about the detection of the Levociraptor in the newer 2022 Specialized? Some LBS say they can detect the Levociraptor even if it has been removed.

Is Levociraptor still safe to use on 2020 Specialized or is it now detectable with firmware updates etc ?
If i set it to 2 (that´s enough for me in EU), BLevo multiplayer is same than with 0 or 1?
So BLevo is not helping at all in my situation? Wheelsize should be 2000 instead of 2300 but that is something i can't change anyway?
just searching through problems with the Levociraptor, I recently (last week) purchased a Levo comp carbon from a forum member who also included a levociraptor which was not fitted and the former owner only tried it once or twice and decided it wasn’t for him, I fitted it and went for my first proper ride on sunday, I took the bike on a carrier and after unloading it it wouldn’t turn on, I unplugged it and plugged it back in and all was good. When I got home the bike wouldn’t turn on again unless I unplugged and plugged the battery back in, trying to solve the fault I disconnected the levociraptor and the bike was back to turning off and on as per normal, plugged the levociraptor in again and re set, and the bike won’t turn on again with the button, should I assume the levociraptor is faulty?

We don’t see this issue often. Please return to me for inspection. I can’t always check the forum. Contacting me directly to resolve issues is the best method. [email protected]
Thanks Graham, I didn’t realise that you are the uk distributor, I have your details and will get in the post, many thanks.

I have read most of the Velociraptor posts because I just got one. I'm using a Garmin 830 and Garmin speed sensor with my bike. The bike transmits also a speed and cadence signal. When using this, the speed shown on the Garmin is half the actual speed. I can get the right speed when using the Garmin speed sensor, but disabling the sensors on the bike doesn't give a cadence signal. Is there a way to get it back and getting the actual speed on the display?

Sorry this is not possible to display the correct speed on display. Using GPS data for speed distance as Levociraptor is altering the signal data which the TCU transmits.

When using the speed sensor, the speed is displayed correctly but I can't see cadence. Would like to see that without having to buy the cadence sensor.

Just got a Levociraptor Gen 2 I use iOS 15.4.1 (latest firmware) and BLEvo (latest firmware).
The problem I’m seeing is when the timer is up on crash detection, a white box pops up asking to “confirm ok” which is pretty pointless if you’re unconscious and even if you press the ok to confirm it still doesn’t text or call the 07 number I’d input ???
Anyone else experiencing this ?

Sent you an email Paolo. Graham @ trailwatts may also of contacted you about this.
Thank you

Hi mate! Did you find a way to track cadence from bike sensor and speed on Garmin GPS?

have you found a workaround?
The cadence doesn't matter with Levociraptor...
I think the issue is in other place...
Could you see the cadence with Mission Control and without Levociraptor installed?
Hi
not sure if this is an old thread but…
Just bought a levo 2019 so it’s all new to me!
can the levociaper and mission control be installed on a iPhone?
Thanks

Just read the Levociraptor instructions…and follow. It’s all explained very clearly what you need to do. Personally….the day I installed the dongle was the day I uninstalled MC and used Blevo. I did not want to record any rides using MC whilst the dongle was fitted….also you get the correct speed read out using Blevo (and a lot more info)
If/when you need a new motor
or you’re just taking your bike for a service…follow instructions to remove dongle (Levociraptor)

I lost my remaining 1 year of warranty today. I'd removed the Levociraptor (purchased Jan-21), took my Gen2 2019 Levo in for service due to a weird fault going on (wouldn't turn on after 4 - 6 turnings on and off, but resets after disconnecting and reconnecting battery).
Dealer said it was a faulty battery and they made a claim with Specialized on my behalf, and they came back and said the warranty is void as they (Specialized) could tell it had been "hacked".. I'm not sure if they are bluffing and just knew for other historic reasons.. However I suspect the issue arose because of a software update in the past 3 months with the Levociraptor still connected.. I was planning to sell the bike, but that's made more difficult as it's lost its warranty and I need to buy a new battery.. btw the Mission control still showed 100% battery health. Something doesn't seem quite right here.
Perhaps I should have followed some instructions on removing the Levociraptor before the software update?
At this point I'm kinda done with my bike and feel like I need to come to terms with the fact that I'll be selling it for peanuts.. or putting it in the dumpster / selling for parts. Any advice welcome, thanks.

It’s only a new battery needed, just buy a new battery, maybe up grade to a 700w!, we all know these thing don’t last for ever and money will have to be spent on it sooner or later!, as with anything!
In hindsight you could have removed the raptor, but didn’t, lesson learned!, move on, get a new battery and enjoy the bike .
As for engine, there are fixes out there when you get a problem

Yes true! But I have barely ridden it this year due to rain and closed trails. Just wanted to sell the Levo. The 'faulty' batt is already 700w! I've already had 2 faulty motors replaced under warranty.. don't know why anyone would want to buy an out of warranty 2nd hand Levo. What fixes are there for a faulty motor other than a new replacement?
