Agree with this approach. On uphills with 10-15% grade I do use the granny gear in Eco. I think I could lose the lower granny gear or two by adding more assist. I'm gonna take note of how hard it will be in the 32, 37 or even 28 rear tooth. When it comes time to change the casstte, I will...

I have Ebike field on the 130. It was handy for automatically saving battery and assist level data to garmin connect. It was handy to guesstimate how much battery was used for my rides when I first got the SL. However Blevo does a better job so I just use Blevo data now. Additonally, Ebike...

I have used an edge 130 and edge explore. Both work to show cadence. The Edge Explore does not support the power sensor so I do use Blevo when I want the power display/ride info. The edge 130 will save both cadence and power data into garmin connect to show graphs over time/distance as well...

I don't think this is necessary. With the default setting to use both batteries simultaneously, I've found it's ok to have the range extender charge (eg 100%) exceed the internal battery. It will drain the range extender until both batteries are approx the same voltage. I've been using the...

When I purchased my 4.0 SL last year, Specialized's website and docs advertised the 1.1 motor assist as 1.8 times you. I noticed the updated website does now indicate 2 times you. I wonder if this is a real change or just marketing rounding/enhancing or possibly a result of the motor firmware...

I agree that the SL is not 1 for 1 match to rider power. The SL is advertised as 1.8 x you. So for 100 W of rider power, the assistance at 100/100 settings would be 180 W. The 180 W is mechanical power and Blevo or Mission control would display the electrical power required by the motor. The...

Not an issue for me since I am in the US. But I was under the impression that Blevo could be used to derestrict. I remember I did change the wheel size a bit so that the Blevo odomer readings would match up with my garmin.

When I dismount the bike, I balance on the left pedal and coast while I swing my right leg over the seat and rack Once my right foot hits the ground I'm either stopped or going very slow and can unclip my left foot. Dismounting this way is much easier for me than getting started. When we...

Likewise my normal rides come nowhere near needing the full 320 Wh of the internal battery. However I've been using a range extender since I've gotten my 4.0 SL. Since I was somewhat concerned about battery wear and somewhat hopeful that someday I might want to ride further than the the 320 Wh...

That is for the TCD. The 4.0 SL comes with the mount but not the TCD. If you have a 5.0, you should also have gotten the TCD. The mount is compatible with garmin mount devices. I use mine with a garmin.

I'll see if I can find a hill like that nearby. With the update to Blevo, it now also shows about 300 W motor power. For the first time I also rode with the Blevo battery monitor display. As before, it shows a current draw of 4.0 amps in turbo mode - meaning it must be drawing about 2 A from...

Agreed. Also a similar bug to the voltage CSV might also affect the motor power display. I noticed and installed the new version of Blevo today. No time for a ride but I did check to see that the touted feature of being able to read the range extender seems to be working properly - now...

Went on ride using mission control to show rider power. Around 300 W peak in turbo. So the 450 W showing up on Blevo after the upated is probably just an anomaly with how Blevo is showing the motor power. Strange since the SL has a sensor for motor power so not sure why Blevo is not using it...

Went on the same 10 mile turbo segment today without the range extender. This time current was 6.2 max but motor power is still in the 450 W range. I'm thinking whatever the firmware update did, it confuses Blevo's report enough to show 450 instead of 300 W in Turbo mode. As for the increase...

You are probably right that Blevo doesn't include the range extender. At the start of the ride it always asks what the range extender Wh is. One stat always shows battery start/end with the range extender 1/2 pct of the main battery. For my last ride it shows battery consumed 22% calculated...

I'm not sure there is an extra 150 W. If there is, maybe all it is doing is heating up the motor. The increase in motor temperature was very noticeable. On the flats I didn't notice any boost to make it easier to top out at 28 mph. I'm gonna see if it makes a difference on climbs. First...

Oh, I agree that what MC and Blevo call motor power is the input power to the motor. Assuming the 320 Wh and 160 Wh specs for the main and ranged extender are accurate, comparing what Blevo reports as motor power Wh used in a ride to the % used by the battery, it's more in the ballpark that...

Specialized has a number of youtube videos that could be helpful. Specifically tells how to set up the Mission Control app to connect your phone to the bike for tuning/diagnostics etc. My LBS gave me the pairing code written on the manual so I didn't need take off the TCU to find it.

I only see the increase motor output to 445-450 W in Turbo mode. Attached shows different rider/motor power ratios vs assist levels. Harder to see but in Eco for a little over first 5 miles, then Sport for about 10, then Turbo for almost 10 more miles, then off (herd of turtles blocking the...

As GrayFox noted, Mission Control shows revs and when updates are available. My motor was updated to version 43.6.33 by my LBS where I bought the bike.
