You can read total mileage / trip mileage / battery % on the display, unless it is entirely different on the 2013. The mileage is stored in the battery, so check before it gets replaced.

Just for the record, if you ordered an inexpensive non-electric bike (such as one with the same level of bike parts as the Volton) through the Internet, I can almost guarantee you would have similar out-of-box issues. Buy local is one solution, or, if the buyers were willing to pay a higher...

That would be quite a battery- easily capable of driving the car from Back To The Future. Perhaps it's only 691 Watt-Hours here in reality? 6^)

I've been wondering whether I could transplant a sprung front fork from the X model onto my 2013 Turbo without screwing up the handling? The streets of Portland might as well be off-road, and that frame is very stiff, even with a Thudbuster ST on it. Anyone know whether it would fit properly?

Finally got a new battery from them. Seven weeks. As related by the dealer, Specialized had three people each handling Turbo issues part-time, and with poor communication among them. As a result of my incident and another of similar ilk, they are now said to have one person working full-time on...

Now seven weeks and no battery. Stunningly bad customer service from Specialized.

The Turbo has a 2-year warrantee, and Specialized does not seem to have dealt with that.

Today it has been five weeks. I'm told that a new battery was shipped last Friday, at the four-week mark. Needless to say it hasn't arrived, but that light at the end of the tunnel might not be a train...

The problem seems to be at the Specialized end. The dealer has been very conciliatory, offering to try to make me whole.

The dealer has had the bike sitting there for a month now. I'd guess that the excuse was bs.

And now we're at four weeks with no battery, and it hasn't been shipped yet, supposedly because "they can't figure out how to ship it, because it is toxic material". Biggest bunch of BS I've heard for a while, and I'm completely disillusioned that Specialized service is any better than the rest...

Just spoke with the dealer - he admitted that they screwed up in not getting the battery to Specialized promptly, and that Specialized screwed up in not getting a round toit. Bottom line is maybe next week. Sigh.

Or possibly they are simply out of batteries.

Now over three weeks since the battery failure, and nothing from Specialized on this warrantee issue.

Now that really annoys me, because the symptom "all four LEDs blinking = Yes" leads to REPLACE BATTERY.

So far I'm Not impressed: it has now been eight days, and the dealer still does not even have a Return Authorization from Specialized to ship the busted battery back, much less anything about getting a replacement.

Westside Bikes in Portland nicked me $20 for it.

Well, Specialized proposed that the dealer ship the bad battery back, so they can diagnose it and fix or send me a new one. I requested a new battery shipped at the same time as the old battery, so I'm not off the road for two or three weeks.

BTW, there have been firmware updates for both battery and bike in the last six months. It's probably worth bugging your dealer to install them all before warrantees expire. I'd be real interested to know if anyone has tweaked Max Acceleration to maybe 750% ? Preferably after the warrantee...

After a short ride today, when I plugged in the charger all four battery LEDs started blinking, and will not stop when plugged in to a charger. I tried it out of the bike, in the bike again, different charger, and etcetera. Took the bike to the dealer, who messed around with the battery for a...
