Over 70 miles in the last 2 days and over 100 in my first week. I am loving this bike!

I thought it would be fun to have a thread where we list how many total miles we have on our Turbos. I'm hoping to hear about lots of people racking up big miles on these awesome bikes! I'll start: 2016 Turbo X -- 63 miles as of 9/26/2016

I've now done my first two commutes on my X (20 miles and 29 miles, respectively) and the bike is really fun and so competent at eating up the miles! It handles beautifully on dirt/gravel (better than I expected) and range is about what I figured so far. I've been using mostly Eco70 so far...

For what it's worth, I just did my first charge on my X (from about 50% as Court suggested) and the odometer did not reset. The battery reads 98% (after the charger light turned a solid green to indicate it's charged). Is that normal? On 3 of the 4 turbos I test rode (3 Xs and an S, all new...

Hey Stormtrooper- Great reports and thread! You willing to do a quick update? How many miles do you have on the bike and are you still happy with it?

Sorry for the frustration!

What is the point of putting in the distance/time and desired battery remaining? Does it then adjust your Eco ## to a level that it thinks will get you there with the correct battery % left? How can it possibly estimate that without dealing with hills and wind? Also, is there a way to log in...

Now that I am a proud Turbo owner, I figured I'd start a thread about Mission Control. I downloaded it and set it up, but I haven't played around with it much. Does it work? Do people like and use it? What's it actually useful for? Is it a gimmick or a game changer? Please discuss...

I bought the X today! Looking forward to sharing our experiences and tips. Super excited for my first commute (Friday)!

Really great review- thanks for writing this up!

I did a 7-mile test ride of a 2016 Turbo X yesterday and thought I'd share my results if helpful. (Admittedly, the 2016 has the more powerful 250W motor, so this isn't exactly apples to apples.) In Turbo mode, a steady 27-28 mph (indicated) was definitely doable with a solid pedaling effort...

You had me at "mad demon sprints"!

Interesting and very helpful. So it's not the push of a button, but it sounds easy enough to do on the fly. For example, I could see wanting to do this in a case where I'm running through the battery quicker than expected and I want to cruise in Eco50 instead of Eco70 or something like that...

Thanks. But there's no easy way to go from, say Eco50 to Eco70 while riding, right?

Thanks again. I've now ridden the X in a M and L and really like it. One question- other e bikes usually have 3-4 power settings. Am I right that Turbo only has these choices: 1. Turbo 2. Eco XX [customizable from 10-90] 3. Off (no assist) 4. Regen Not a deal breaker, but I'd rather be able...

What a great thread- so helpful! Does anyone have thoughts on the built-in lights in the 2015 (versus none in 2016)? I think I'd be fine to just use good DiNotte aftermarket lights instead, although I do like the idea of not having to separately charge them. Also, is the included suspension...

(also asked in the General forum but the answer might be specific to Specialized) I'm planning to buy a bike soon. How can I tell if an in-stock floor model has barely been ridden versus used as a demo with 100 battery cycles on it already? Other than obvious wear and tear, is there a...

I'm planning to buy a bike soon. How can I tell if an in-stock model has barely been ridden versus used as a demo with 100 battery cycles on it already? Other than obvious wear and tear, is there a diagnostic that can be run on the battery or something like that? For example, I've used this...

What a great description! Super helpful- thanks for writing that up. I've done some short test rides, but it's hard to really get the feel for a bike during just a short spin.

Thanks!
