The Official BLEvo Thread

[PaoloBLEvo]

I just tried the app on a 2019 Levo. The maps on a iPhone Xs displays the paths really thin so I have a hard time reading them. Is it better on a android phone with lower resolution screen, ie the bv6000? Can someone show me scrrendumps or photos of the map display?

I can increase the size of the track..

 

[PaoloBLEvo]

Hi new to the forum. Is there anyway of putting standard settings back on my bike, kenevo expert 2019, after using blevo and changing speed, wheelsize etc it seems to be stuck on theses settings? Thanks

You can use the reset button present in Mission Control..

Hi Paolo
Any idea when the new update will be released?
Thanks

I hope before the end of the week..

If you have the barometer BLEvo shows to you the barometer menu.. do you see it?
And the altitude on display is in italic..

Paolo,
No barometer menu in BLEvo on my BV5500 which comes as no surprise. You get what you pay for.

BLEvo v3.5.0 now available on Google play store! So far so good. Horizontal display is a nice option. Think I'll stick with it. Total miles instead of kilometers is fixed if you roll that way. Time of day display still 24 hour clock even though it's 12 hours in the ride stats and phone settings.

You are right..
Google send an email this morning about it...

Coming back to budget phone choice again - which sensors (or which minimum model) do you need to ensure you have to get all the features of Blevo? Not sure if my iphone has a barometer built in (6S) or if I need one? Isn't altitude calculated from GPS?

 

[FRASAMA]

Hello, thank you for accepting me in your forum.
I have a specialized turbo levo and I am interested in better understanding the BLEVO application.
Sorry, my english is not good.

 

[FRASAMA]

Question for Paolo, in the future the application Blevo could go up to more than 25Km for the new turbo levo 2019?
Best regards

I don't that iPhone has the barometer.. If the phone doesn't have, BLEvo uses the GPS altitude to calculate the altitude and the ascend data..
But the GPS is not so precise, so the ascend data is not good.. but you can adjust after with Strava tool..

Did you read the documentation?
Here you can find the link for it...

I think it will not be possible via BLEvo...
But I can suggest to ask to dealer to set the wheel size to 2000mm in order to have the limit speed to 28.8km/h..
It is not high but it is better than 25..

Thanks. Does the phone need a compass?? Again I don’t know just something someone mentioned IIRC?

No.. BLEvo uses the barometer or the GPS altitude..

 

[Max-E]

OK but how is the barometer/GPS altitude related to the compass?

 

[Kave]

I just tried changing top speed on my 2019 with TCU 3.019 and firmare 0.3.1 and it works fine. I thought it was not supposwd to work anymore?

It only works for early version 2.019/3.019. 2.025 and 2.026 will not work.

I think there is no relation...

Hi Paolo,

Today I have been riding following official mtb track with latest BLEvo version in The Netherlands:
Windraak

I downloaded the official gpx track. The length is 37km and the amount of height meters 561.

Underneath the result when I returned to my car:

I think BLEvo total amount of km’s and meters in ascent accuracy (BV6000 with barometer) is amazing!

Thanks for all your efforts!

 

[Kave]

It only works for early version 2.019/3.019. 2.025 and 2.026 will not work.

So should I request it beeing upgraded?

 

[Maastricht]

That depends on if you are happy with current performance and speed.

I know later versions have improved shuttle mode and walk assist. Also some other things are improved.

My bike has been upgraded by LBS before delivery. I ride with 2.026.

Interesting study regarding altitude accuracy of different devices. Seems a barometer is no guarantee, especially if you don’t pay attention to ongoing calibration as the weather changes.

Thanks!

Not sure if you are aware but BLEvo has an option to ask for each ride about the height you start your tour. (this way weather influences are automatically eliminated) I activated that option and now, based on my experience of today with latest Android update, it’s really very accurate.

Most phones use GPS for the compass.

Ahh, very nice. Paolo’s thought of everything! I’m still ok with my non-barometer BV5500 but will consider something with one in the future.

 

[Jeff H]

I've been using BLEvo for a week and still can't figure out what "autonomy" is. Can someone please explain?

Autonomy is calculated based on the wh/km of the ride an the wh available.. the km considered are only the ascend km..
If you want an autonomy that uses also che km in descend, there an option in BLEvo configuration..

Hi. I noticed the month is correct but the day is
Off. Is there somewhere in the blevo app to correct this?
Thanks

The day is taken from the phone date when you press the first time the start button..
Now try to do another fake ride and check if the date is today...
Let me know..
