    Some thoughts on buying a new battery for the Turbo

    Hello guys, I have been thinking about buying an extra Turbo 691wh battery for my Turbo FLR bike. I have some questions that I'd like to clear out considering the experience of some members here: - Do you think is worthy? or is better to save the money and spend it on a new bike in the future...

    Brake pad life

    I did also had to replace my breakpads when the odometer was near 1200km. I guess it will depend on your route and obstacles (people, traffic lights, etc.), but in general sounds quite reasonable. I bought the Shimano B01S Resin pads as a substitute for the ones that came with the bike (I guess...

    Broken spokes

    What is wrong with this bike? Now I broke 2 extra spokes. I just realized about it when I was about to change for better winter wheels today (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) You can see the 2 broken spokes here (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) And here a closeup: (Link Removed - No Longer...

    New Firmware for Turbos

    The link you shared, even though in German, is interesting. When I was trying to diagnose my bike a month ago, the guy who was trying to help me these files to me (there are different firmwares for the different batteries models). But to upload this anyway you need the tool and also the BMS...

    The new turbo Vado 2017

    Can't you use bike paths with an S-Pedelec? WTF, most of my way home is bike path and taking the highway is very dangerous. I guess I will hold on to my Turbo FLR to keep it all legal then. I see some guys with mopeds without plates and faster than 25km/h which are off the law. I see this every...

    First 1000 km on my Turbo S – a review from Stockholm, Sweden

    Hi @Taipan, nice pictures. Thanks for the recommendations of your equipment. I definitely liked the jacket, especially the option that has protection in shoulders and elbow. I have the same size as you, but it was sold out, I'll keep checking regularly. I travel frequently to Spain, and they...

    How I failed to get my bike diagnosed with the Diagnosis Tool

    Hi Douglas, are you sure about this? how could you know? if so, there's still hope if I get a new Turbo S battery.

    First 1000 km on my Turbo S – a review from Stockholm, Sweden

    I have similar clothing setup as you do. I was wearing a snowboarding goggles and helmet when the cold stroke last week, It felt much nicer overall and had lees trouble with the moisture inside the goggles compared to the regular bike glasses I own. A small trick here: you can apply a thin layer...

    How I failed to get my bike diagnosed with the Diagnosis Tool

    Hi, nope, nothing new regarding unlocking my bike assist limit. I just desisted with this and I returned my Diagnosis device back to the store. I had contact with a guy in Sportson in Kungens Kurva wich is probably the best place to repair/diagnose e-bikes in Sweden (they know what I was talking...

    2017 Turbo models

    Only the Levo models make reference to 2017, the rest of the Turbo models don't specify any date. I heard that Specialized is migrating the system to a mid-drive model like the Levos, so probably our Turbos will be discontinued. I wonder what will happen when we need replacements or buy a new...

    How I failed to get my bike diagnosed with the Diagnosis Tool

    I called my insurance and they said anything that goes between 25km/h and 50km/h could be declared as a moped without breaking any law. Even Specialized send you a form within the bike manual that you authorize your reseller to make the change (you sign it, your responsibility). They even sell...

    How I failed to get my bike diagnosed with the Diagnosis Tool

    Well, I just wanted for you to know how frustrated I am for not being able to diagnose my bike, even by getting the tool myself and not able to do anything with it, was completely useless. This is the story: As I am frustrated with the famous cut-off at 25 km/h (imagine you guys in the US being...

    First 1000 km on my Turbo S – a review from Stockholm, Sweden

    Good to know. I am taking the bus now as I broke the spoke and I am waiting to be fixed. I hate taking the public transport. Crowded, full people, slow and with many delays. I prefer to be outside at -20c than being on a bus. As soon as I grab my bike I will not step on that again. In these...

    Wow...Don't put away your regular bike.

    As broke a spoke yesterday I took my old bike to go to work again. I just wanted to cut my balls off after running 11 kms. I just got off, paid for the bus and left the bike somewhere there with the hope it will get stolen.

    Safe to climb big hills on a Turbo?

    Overheating the motor will depend on many factors: the external temperature, your weight, running mode (turbo or Eco), wind speed, the amount of force you apply when pedaling and the time the engine has to work taking into account all these factors altogether. In the user manual clearly states...

    Broken spokes

    Not all spokes should be necessarily hard. The adjustment of each spoke makes the wheel being aligned. Some spokes might be slightly loose than others. Of course, if a spoke is very loose then you might have a problem (but in that case also the wheel will be unaligned because the spokes from one...

    Broken spokes

    I am. This is a major setback for me. Now if I have to deliver it to the store where I bought it to use the warranty, it will be without bike for at least a week. I could do it myself if I had the spare part, but I asked in the bikestores around here and nobody has the size of a spoke for a...

    Broken spokes

    I've broken my first spoke ever in my life, with my Turbo FLR at reaching almost 1000km/621 miles with the bike, just today at 10km from work. I think this might be a problem of these bikes with the motor and shorter and ill-adjusted spokes. I am not that heavy guy but the road is bumpy almost...

    Brooks saddles

    Sorry but I can't say about Brooks measurement. Sure there's some info on the net or you can ask them directly to convert your measurements to their standard.

    Brooks saddles

    You have to measure your ass's bones and according to their distance, you'll have to choose a right saddle according to your posture on the bike. Check this picture: (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) I personally bought this Brooks a couple of years ago, and I find it quite uncomfortable for...
