    Real miles matches miles now and lines up with the display. Keep in mind that when wheel size is changed by LBS it computes as if that was the size of the wheel from the moment it started registering the data.In other words, your odometer (accumulated mileage) will change according to the Specs...

    BLEvo is now where it should be 15.6 mph. I never could change that before prior to update. After the update it allowed me to change it to 17.9 mph because of the 2000 mm wheel size input by the firmware.

    If you put Electraks Armadillos 2.0 on your Vado make sure the circumference is changed to 2300 mm.(converts in MC to 90.55 in).

    I left out other good. I still have my bike to ride until they decide when I need to bring it back for repair. Also, I have another E-bike that gets up to 24mph with a throttle, to ride and take my mind off this.

    Update: LBS applied the update tool at the display for the motor. I was standing right next to him and watched. There were three choices 25kmh, 30kmh and 28mph 45kmh. He selected the 28mph. The wheel size said 2000. We left it at that. I took it out for a spin but couldn't break the 19.5 mph...

    The Electraks are A1. The Triggers were too. They both handle great. I think I prefer the Electraks slightly more because they seem to have slightly less rolling resistance than the Triggers. What I'm trying to say is it feels like the tires roll a little farther and smoother than the triggers...

    https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/turbo-levo-tuning.9995/ Talks about another process here and a few other places in the forum. Perimeters for wheel circumference allowed by Specialized for the LEvo were 2000-2400. 13% + more speed before the motor stops assisting with 2300 mm...

    Actually it does. Smaller wheel circumference in my case messes with the range and speed. The display return trip reports a couple mph slower than I was actually traveling. According to GPS. 26.2 mile trip, display reported 22.6 miles. The bike thinks I'm traveling slower and shorter distance...

    I'm old school too. U break u fix. I'm only hesitant leaving my bike for pickup at their local LBS. According to Specialized ridercare they just need to reinstall the software as Class 3 and measure the wheel circumference then input it in their system for accuracy. I can take it to the...

    BLEvo doesn't allow you to alter mph. 15.6 mph is default speed limit. After the update I was able to change the speed based on the (firmware/wheel circumference) to 17.9 mph. An extra 2.3 mph boost. With a Class 3 wheel size set at 2000 mm will allow the bike to top out at 30.3 before the motor...

    Just by your input you've cleared up something that has plagued another Vado 5.0 user. I believe he liked your post. He was complaining that his battery was stuck at 7.20.0 while a number of Vado 5.0 users U.S. were at 7.3.4. According to headquarters there are some unhappy campers that updated...

    Which chain is on the Vado 5.0?

    Okay thanks. I missed these post. I had the same tires. However, my wheel size was set to 2255 mm or 88.7 in. That's weird. That wheel size in not uniform across all our 5.0 Turbo Vados, especially with the same rims/tires. BLEvo is reading my Wheel size now as 2300 mm or 90.6 in. since I...

    I think this screw up origins is from MC/Specialized most likely.

    I talked over the phone to headquarters. I explained another Specialized dealer did the upgrade. He was familiar with the dealer and shop. Said they were solid people. I agree. I think the LBS just followed the instructions given by Specialized. The local LBS and I have bad blood. That's why I...

    Unbelievable. I'm the only person in the entire U.S. with a Turbo Vado 5.0 that got these updates? Well let me warn those who are thinking of upgrading to new display/motor firmware. Taking my bike to the lbs local for main shop pickup. Pedaling unassisted is over for flat terrain. Turning off...

    Does anyone with Turbo Vado 5.0 U.S. versions have these firmware for motor/display? I was looking around for reports from others who got the notice and updated but didn't see any.

    Specialized Trigger vs Schwalbe Marathon E Plus

    In the last post I made a mistake. Miles is accurate to the the display. Real miles is saying I actually traveled shorter distance. It's weird that BlEvo detected the actual size of the ELectraks 90.6 slightly larger than 90.3 (50-622) in the chart. Should I take it back to the LBS or leave it...

    Specialized Trigger vs Schwalbe Marathon E Plus

    So, I uninstalled BlEvo and then reinstalled. It detected my real wheel at 2300 mm. Converted to inches 90.6. Real miles is accurate to my display. But the other reading is way off in proportion to 2000 mm wheel. When I try to set the wheel size t0 2000 mm it only allows me to Ser at 2100 with...
