My Turbo Levo FSR is a 2016 model that now has about 3000 miles total. The Brose Motor was replaced at about 2200 miles due to various maladies. The first two years were a nightmare with problems, including the dealer going out of business and Specialized having zero factory support. Now have...

The battery will drain more quickly if you ride with Turbo set at 100%, or close. When the bike is not being used, the battery drain should be near enough zero, even after months. If the battery drains when not being ridden, there must be a short or other load. I think if you fully charge...

One more interesting improvement was noticed yesterday on the second ride with the new motor. With the required speed limit here of 20mph, the bike motor shuts off the boost when you try to exceed that number. With the first bike in this saga, the motor would start to turn off at 16-18 mph...

Another update on my Turbo Levo FSR. The dealer now installed a new motor (warranty except for labor) and the result is remarkable. The motor firmware level is 5.0.0 now, and I suspect this may also be an updated Brose motor. On the first test ride, about 13 miles, there was never a...

Latest update on my 2016 Turbo Levo FSR. This is the second bike, as the first one was replaced under warranty within 6 weeks. Because the selling dealer suddenly went out of business, I was caught in the middle, but found an outstanding dealer that is also not too far away, and who became a...

Very interesting that Specialized got back to you. Hasn't happened for me. No response from Ridercare, no return phone calls, no acknowledgement of letter to President of company. At least you found someone there that took the initiative to help you. If anyone has an update on the Mission...

This is a followup to my 9-25-17 report. My Levo FSR continues to operate reasonably well, after the firmware updates, though it still has intermittent issues with power loss on up-shifts. It doesn't matter much on easy trails, but on uphill rugged trails, it can be alarming. It is a high-end...

Here's my 9-25-17 update. With a suggestion from a Specialized rep, I was able to find a dealer not too far away who actually has a trained tech on e-bikes. He was able to "borrow" the needed parts and installed new firmware for the battery and motor, and also got my Mission Control app...

My 2016 Turbo Levo FSR Mission Control has gone bonkers. Bluetooth sometimes doesn't hook up, but always says "pairing rejected by Specialized". Yesterday, the screen spontaneously showed a new format with Let's Ride only, and none of the other options. It can be scrolled to the right for...

I have a 2016 turbo levo fsr 6fattie, purchased 12 months ago. The first bike was soon completely replaced under warranty because of various control issues. The new bike did make noises in the lower bracket, clicking and rattling. Not sure why, but I discovered that if you back pedal a...

Yes, the power drops off when shifting, often even if you crash shift it, that is, keep pedaling normally through the shift. I find that it is best to anticipate a change and shift earlier than normal, and even to a lower gear than normal. I would think that the acceleration setting affects...

Have a Turbo Levo FSR, now with about 800 miles. Have motor cut-off from time to time, and I relate it to motor temperature rise. Specialized says that the control starts cutting the motor power when the temperature reaches 170-180 F, but I notice it sometimes at 160 F. The default setting...

Rede - After much consternation, Specialized decided to replace the battery, and for the first time the Mission Control would display the battery and motor details and conditions. I finally related the problem to motor temperature. Eventually, on long uphill climbs, the motor temperature got...

Thanks for the replies. I had the bike back to the shop, and they couldn't duplicate the problem, but they only went for a short ride. I went out for a 25 mile ride yesterday, and started having the intermittent problem after about 15-16 miles. At about 20 miles, I was wondering if I would...

Just purchased new Levo. Great handling bike, but have had an issue with motor control. It has an intermittent problem when changing gears, or restarting pedaling after coasting. Sometimes it reacts normally, and immediately responds to pedal torque. At other times, it seems to not turn on...
