    How to actually change settings on Turbo?

    I tried the exact same thing last week with the hope of having the backlight back to life. Same result. Just a fool's hope. Now I need to send the bike some time after the summer to get it replaced. I wonder how many times we will have to replace until this is solved permanently. Is my 2nd...

    Longest Single Ride Yet!

    @Douglas Ruby, I am so tempted to buy the 691Wh battery that you have no idea... for the moment my standard 391Wh battery works ok for the range of 44 km/ 28 miles per day commuting to work, but now I am also debating internally in adquire the Specialized Sirrus Elite Carbon bike (2016 model is...

    Longest Single Ride Yet!

    In the base Turbo European version (FLR, the one that comes with the rack and fenders), they removed this feature. I managed to restore it when I diagnosed my bike and unlock its full speed capability.

    Turbo Owners -- What's your total mileage? [OFFICIAL MILEAGE THREAD]

    It almost never anything repaired with Loctite on a bike, ends up well. Specially something so related to your own security as the break pads. Buy new parts. Your head may be more valuable.

    Is there any alternative to bike or helmet mirrors?

    For the moment I just purchased a handle mirror for the left side of the bike and a wrist-velcro mirror. I will decide which of both are the best, if not the two of them at the same time, otherwise I will move on and try some of the other things you've recommended. I had previously a mirror that...

    The new turbo Vado 2017

    I think e-bikes should have a decent support after several years after the purchase (even after warranty time). This is not a phone that you can just simply dispose off (though everything is like that now, but the future will tell). So far, I have had several problems with my Turbo 2016, but so...

    Is there any alternative to bike or helmet mirrors?

    I commute more than 200 miles per week and one of my greatest concerns is when I have to look back to pass someone (probably the most dangerous part of cycling). And frankly, I don't like installing mirrors on my bike, it looks horrible. I've been checking some discrete mirrors on the...

    Known Issues & Problems with Specialized Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    My LCD background light died after 2 months of use too. It has been replaced before for the same issue. I am tired of going back to the dealer for this kind of minor things. In your case, try to unplug-replug the LCD connector to see if comes back to life.

    Known Issues & Problems with Specialized Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Are you sure the sound comes from the motor? Did you try puting the bike in a bike holder and move the pedals? or, did you try pedaling being stand up for example and not on the seat?

    Replace the bottom bracket system for a more efficient one

    "I've been recently experiencing a strange noise that I am pretty sure is coming from the Bottom-Bracket (pedalier/velvlager) of the bike." False alarm. Was not the BB. It came from the seat post shock absorber I got last year (I did on it 500 km or 350 miles). The Cane Creek Thudbuster LT. It...

    Replace the bottom bracket system for a more efficient one

    Which BB system do you have in your bike? Is it at least the size 68 x 116 mm (BC1 37" x 24T) ? (I am actually not sure if mine is 116 or 118, I took a picture and the last number is a little bit blurry, then I mounted it back, so now I am not sure).

    Turbo Batteries - 2013 and beyond

    Hi @Douglas Ruby , if you want, you could add to your list the SBC-B01 - 11Ah / 396Wh battery that is included in the 2016 Turbo base FLR bikes (same as base Turbo but came with the fenders and luggage carrier). Probably they seel this bikes mainly in Europe, but my bike came with this battery...

    Replace the bottom bracket system for a more efficient one

    Hello guys, I own a Turbo Base (FLR) 2016. I've been recently experiencing a strange noise that I am pretty sure is coming from the Bottom-Bracket (pedalier/velvlager) of the bike. The bike has already 2300km (1430miles). It's funny because I've been thinking in changing the pedals and...

    Replacing entire Turbo front brake system

    I do the same as the other guys: just keep the disks as clean as possible (I keep a towell in my backpack) and use the regen when going steeply downhill. This works. But I agree with you that is annoying that the breaks have to be maintained so often to avoid this. When the road is wet, the...

    Broken spokes

    At the beginning I tried to fix it myself (I had a few extra spokes and even bought the tension measuring tool which was not expensive and I still think is worthy to have for future bikes), but even so, when I believed that the tensions were correct (I am sure they were, at least I followed the...

    Known Issues & Problems with Specialized Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    In my experience I suffered these problems after the bike was less than 1000km (620 miles). Base Turbo FLR. 1- Spokes starting to pop out 1 by 1 in the rear wheel. After the 4th came out I sent it to the dealer and they sent me a whole new wheel (no problems so far with the new wheel after 300km...

    Tyres for the Turbo

    Hi, well, there's no specific measure for inflation as it depends on the road and weather conditions, your weight, etc. The best you can do is not get over or below the limits specified on the wheel (PSI) and then, depending on the previous factors I mentioned, do your adjustments. I think is...
