Yup, I reached the same conclusion. I think I might order a spare at the same time...seems like we might need more than one replacement, and it appears they aren't easily available in Europe. In case you didn't see it, this post from Douglas Ruby might be useful...

I've just started having this problem on mine over the past few weeks...unreliable in the up/down, such that I have to power down and back up to move to full assist from lower power assist levels. Just starting to research it, will let you know if I find anything out. I am presuming at the...

Been away from the forums for a while, and catching up on some posts I've missed. Regarding the bluetooth connectivity, I am having this problem on occasion. I've found the quickest remedy is toggling bluetooth off/on on the phone and then reconnecting through the app before making other...

Two things made the CW a good purchase for us: (a) we bought at the pre-production price of $700, had to wait a long time for delivery but fortunately we weren't anxious for delivery; and (b) we had an existing $2700 trike that made a retrofit attractive over buying a new trike. I think the CW...

I've been loving my wife's TerraTrike outfitted with the wheel. The trike gives me a comfortable place to contemplate existence in what amounts to a lawn chair while the dog does her business, and the regenerative braking makes it easy to match her pace as we trot around the park. Taking her...

As the chart posted by E-Wheels shows, it's the last 20% of topping off your battery that shortens long-term battery life the most. If (I'm making up some numbers here) your daily commute knocks 8% off your battery charge, from 80% down to 72%, it's not going to make too much difference topping...

I was trying to get into the setup tonight and was feeling bewildered that I couldn't make it work (thought I did every variation on interpretation of the instructions that I could). Thanks so much for this clarification; it did the trick for me.

If you remove the battery there should be a label on it with model and capacity information.

Data point: I brought my non-responsive battery to my LBS last Thursday (June 15). They gave me a loaner they took off a demo base Turbo, and gave me a call on Monday (June 19) to say that they had received a battery from Specialized. Turns out that the new battery is 504Wh, and that Specialized...

Thanks for the link, Senseiwai. I can forgive myself for forgetting having read the thread (even if being of recent vintage). I don't know how I missed spotting it when I searched the Specialized forum for battery problems. :confused: Wish I would have thought about looking at the battery with...

My newish (2 month old) Turbo X wouldn't turn on a couple days ago. The suddenly-appearing problem was somewhat ironic in that I had it in to my LBS for the 200 mile tune-up the day before and all seemed fine. Chargers would not charge. I feared the battery had shorted out or something such...

It's a low probability but high stakes situation. I used to wear my helmet only occasionally, and was lucky enough to have it on when I fell and smacked my head on the pavement. I was so happy to be able to get up and continue on my ride rather than wait for an ambulance. Needless to say, I got...

It seems to me that might work, since the Touch would be making a bluetooth connection to the bike. You wouldn't have a cellular data connection on the Touch, but the Mission Control app does allow for downloading your local maps.

I have a phone app that claims to provide ongoing monitoring of the phone's battery charge status. It's provided some insights to me for best charging practices to prolong battery service life, and justification in my mind for buying a Satiator. Two caveats to acknowledge up front: (a) phone...

While not what you were asking about, I'd note that you likely can be getting model close-out sales pricing. The prices you noted were listed on the web site, but my dealer quoted prices of $3K and $2K back in March.
