Get well soon!

I'm not an expert, but I've heard that the quickest charging occurs at the lower ranges (e.g., 20-40% goes much quicker than 80-100%), which makes me think you'd be better off waiting until you're getting closer to the "E" mark. That said, the best approach of course is to bring a good book and...

Other ideas would be to hit them in the court of public opinion with harsh negative reviews on Yelp, Google, etc.

Hey @Senseiwai --> From @Douglas Ruby in the other backlight thread from last week: The Manual is incorrect regarding how you get into backlight and km/mile setup mode. You have to power the bike down. Then you push the joystick vertically in the center position (not up/down/left/right) and...

Helpful, thanks. I'm going back to my dealer/LBS soon (bike is only 1 month old, so definitely under warranty). Everything looks and works fine EXCEPT the backlight doesn't work.

Had an interesting commute today with a strong headwind. Instead of ending with my usual ~30% battery life, I finished my 20 miles with only 8% left!

I'm at 250 miles after one month of ownership (tracking using Strava because my odo reset).

Thanks to the interesting comments from Douglas, I realized that you can check the motor temp using the display panel. Does anyone know if there is a "safe" range or if this is something I should be monitoring while I ride? Seems like more of a diagnostic tool given that it's in the "setup"...

With my increased speed on my sweet new ebike (Specialized Turbo X), I am getting so many bugs in my face (including eyes and mouth) when I commute through a local wetlands park in the early morning and at dusk. Has anyone come up with a good face covering to help with this but not interfere...

I personally get nervous passing cars on the right (e.g.,. in a bike lane) because I don't think drivers are expecting it or looking in that direction and so the risk of a right hook or unintentional drift into the bike lane/shoulder seems more likely. How about you guys?

OK, I have to say WOW! I just hit 250 miles on my Turbo X (2016) and I realized that I've done all my rides in Eco mode (between 50-70) for a better workout. I did my first commute (18 miles, only did one way today) in "Turbo" mode and it DEFINITELY makes a difference. The bike pulls harder...

Thanks, Douglas, how did you ever figure that out?!? Talk about not intuitive... The good news is that it got me to the miles/km and the backlight y/n screens. The bad news is that it didn't turn on the light. Dealer pinged and hopefully they'll just get me a new display.

FROM MANUAL: To access the setup function of the computer: Press and hold the joystick to the left while squeezing the right-side brake lever. Press the battery power button to turn on the system, then continue to hold the joystick to the left and the brake lever closed for 3 seconds. FWIW...

My backlight (for the display) quit working and I'm wondering if this is a hardware/light problem or if it's in the settings. I tried to follow the instructions in the manual for changing the backlight, but I couldn't figure it out. Any ideas? Thanks!

Thanks, J.R., this is great and I definitely did appreciate it! Seems like a cool guy and I have to say that it makes me glad I live/work where I do- my commute is a lot nicer and more scenic than his!

I think you'd actually need a power meter to get a good calorie estimate (like the guy in the article linked above). A heart-rate monitor might help as well.

Wai, this is great, but I don't have a light cable there...

this is also hilarious: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=4&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjf1vr4xujPAhVrxFQKHYYnAssQtwIIMzAD&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DUoiEEVfU-bc&usg=AFQjCNG2m6NGZPSX68m3bb_JpC8nsQN0GA&sig2=FYucEioJ9STdLOgig7lufg

This might be a dumb question, but I wanted to make sure I wouldn't hurt anything if I tried to climb some big hills as fast as possible on my Turbo. Am I right in thinking the motor has sufficient protections built in to avoid overheating, etc.? This won't be my regular commute, but I thought...

Bummer- thanks to the documentation that was posted in a separate thread, I learned that only the Levo (not the Go Swiss hub-motor Turbos) can give rider power figures. Makes the idea of getting an iPhone mount for my bars less interesting.
