Yeah I'm not sure how smart power works either tho I still intend to use it. Currently setting so the threshold is slightly below average power. Then set the +/- tolerance so that I can easily exceed it to boost assistance. This works pretty well in general for uphills and the headwinds...

I think so, it's when I got an email announcement. Not available from any local stores yet but website still allows ordering Tero 5.0. All sizes except medium say low stock. Called LBS to see when they'd have in stock and was told who knows? Didn't check any of the other models online since...

Here is the configuration page from the Blevo manual. The +power, ++power and boost allow setting the amount of assist pressing the button will add.. The +power is can be set in 1% increments from 1-10. ++power can be set from10-80% with 5% increments. The boost is same as ++power. So it...

I have a vado sl and a levo sl as well. I got the levo after the range extender firmware had already been updated. Haven't noticed any issues swapping the range extender between bikes.

Did a short uphill ride to check out settings with assist acceleration threshold around 100 W, acceleration set to fast and deceleration set to super eco. Climb is about 5% overall with a few >10% bits. Smart power set to eco 19-98W. Overall the assist response was very smooth and the...

I think it is flexible enough. The threshold power can be set in the range from 50 W to 400 W. Then the range boundaries where assist increase/decrease takes effect can be set from +/- 10 to +/- 40 W. So at a minimum, you could set 50 W threshold with 10 W boundary range. In this case you...

Have you tried Blevo's smart power option? While browsing another forum looking for more info on the remote, I came across discussion of the Blevo Smart Power settings and decided to try it out. It does let you set Eco to an initial setting say 10%. You then set a threshold of rider power...

By coincidence I received the remote today. I don't think it could get pass the lock screen - maybe if Blevo is running background with the screen locked it still works. It's no matter to me as when I use Blevo the display is always on and I'm using it as a secondary bike computer that has...

If there is a better practice, it will depend on your ride and elevation profile. You are looking at 20 miles/750 feet climb per range extender and 40 miles/1500 ft average for the main battery. If most of the climb is early in the ride and/or I have hope that I could complete the whole ride...

70 miles / 300 Wh (rounding down from 320 to account for staying out of reduced power) is about 4.2 Wh/mile. On the flats this should be plenty of assist. The bike will definitely feel more lively than the stock Eco settings. However you may be surprised at the battery usage as the 100 peak...

I set Mission Control to drain the range extender first. When the range extender gets low the max support/assist does get limited. Around 10% - possibly higher but I was in Eco so didn't really notice. At <10% the 100% peak power is no longer available. At 5% on the range extender - the...

I think the default Eco settings for a Vado SL are 35 support 35 peak power. Since you also noted a good response with the new motor, I'm guessing it is because of the 30/60 difference in the setting from default Eco settings. Depending on how much rider power you provide, it's likely that the...

You might also consider limiting peak power if your goal is to maximize range. Depending on the range of rider power provided, increasing peak power can drastically increase battery usage. Initially I changed from the default Eco 35/35 settings to 30/100 and found it much more fun to ride...

For me, 1.8x or 2x doesn't really make as much difference as the 240 W max rating. At 100/100 Turbo settings, the difference is rider power of 120 W vs 133 W to max out the motor assist. Below 240 W max assist, the peak power and support levels can be tuned to provide whatever assist is...

Anyone tried this remote control for the Blevo app? If so, are you happy with it? https://www.amazon.com/Synce-MultiRemote-Bluetooth-Remote-Control/dp/B00M0O5UPO/ref=pd_ybh_a_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=8SBGXNNVEPMQYM8Y2BBS It looks like it will make using the Blevo app easier to use to...

I recently replaced the Nimbus tires on my 4.0 with Specialized All Condition Armadillos. 32 instead of the stock 38 and can pump up to 95 psi. Definitely a harsher ride but possibly a bit faster. Supposedly better puncture resistance - time will tell (I only had 2 flats due to HUGE screw...

Most of the multiuse trails around my area are also restricted to Class 1 ebikes. Off road trails frequently prohibit ebikes altogether and there is enforcement by rangers in most of those parks. I don't ride where ebikes are specifically prohibited tho I agree with the sentiment that the...

The little metal piece and screw are meant to prevent the TCD (if you have one) from rotating in the display/garmin stem mount. Provides a bit of extra security if you leave the bike/display unattended.

Well after 5600 miles I decided it would be ok to replace the cassette. Going just about one step down and getting the HG50 version of the 11-36T. It still shifts fine (I also replaced the chain at 4600 miles) but feel I've gotten enough use to justify replacing for the closer mid range...

I just picked up a Levo SL. I already had the range extender and 220 mm cable so I did pick up the 160 mm cable as well. On the Vado, the range extender battery connector faces the chainwheel side when using the 220 mm cable. If I rotate the battery so that the connector is on the opposite...
