ROJA - Around 1,700 miles, but had to stop riding due to two broken Metacarpals in my right hand. The middle and ring fingers, right above the wrist...Boo!

AFAIK that is exactly what I have on my Turbo with Turbo S battery.

Bill, Yes the 691wh battery plugged right in. All original Turbo b atteries are interchangeable subject to item #2 below. I did have the local dealer set the max speed to 45kph, set the odometer, and make sure it had the newest firmware. It does have the bluetooth capability. Works well with...

I have used standard 104BCD 10 or 11-speed chain rings on my 2015 Turbo. They work fine. If you need a chain guard/bash ring, 48T 104BCD are harder to find

Your earlier Turbo S did NOT come with the 691Wh battery that the later Turbo S did. If you had the US model of the Turbo S, the 2014 model had a 504Wh battery with no bluetooth support. I recollect that a previous owner of a Turbo got an SBC-M03 as a replacement (or had one originally). When...

Craig, current Mission Control does not support the Vado.

Great job. I would agree you should do at 70 miles at Eco30. That suggests at least 50 miles at Eco40. By the way, this suggests your Eco30 is similar to my Eco40 in terms of consumption.

ROJA, as I said elsewhere, I have tended to just "estimate" my distance based on experience. I would suggest a different approach. I know that if I were planning a 44 mi ride with my base Turbo, I would start at Eco50, use full Turbo for steep hills, and then switch back to Eco50 anywhere else...

On the Turbo, the relationship between Eco50 (or any other Eco level) and full Turbo is proportional wrt. distance. If I can go 70+ miles at Eco50, I probably can go 35+ miles at full Turbo. I have not been able to calibrate this to motor power (200W in my case) and battery capacity (691Wh)...

When you go under 20%, you are locked out of Turbo but can be in any Eco level from 10% to 70%. So this is not full cripple, just conservation. Full cripple happens when you get below 5% (or 2%?). Then assist stops and only the lights work.

Just got the following notification from Specializedv Mission Control App Users: Reset Your Password Dear Turbo Rider, In the pursuit of providing an even better web experience, as well as a safer database for your account information, Specialized has launched a new website and login...

Couple of things... 1. Brakes work ok. They just tend to squeak. The 2016 Turbo X had Shimano brakes which were better. 2. The 2015 Turbo X had a 200w motor same as base Turbo. The 2016 Turbo X had a 250w motor same as older Turbo S. Only the 2015 and later Turbo S had a 500w motor.

The design of the handlebar "Clean Cockpit" control is indeed design flaw. Other than the metal case surrounding the electronics, the same part is used on the base Turbo, 2015 Turbo X, 2016 Turbo X, and both early (SRAM) and later (Shimano) Turbo S. The case is different depending on whether the...

Essentially the answer is no. the wheel diameter hack used on the Levo doesn't do much except make the speedo/odo inaccurate. You feel the "speed cutoff" on the Turbo family more than some other e-bikes due to the direct drive. The resistance created by the permanent magnets when no boost is...

If what your dealer meant is that Specialized will change their design to upgrade to a new motor system every 3 or so years, then there is an element of truth. The original Turbo was released in late 2012 with a 250W hub motor. Upgrades were introduced in 2015 with the 200W base Turbo and the...

Some time ago, I went to the GoSwissDrive web page. Their data indicated that the 200W motor had a 42 kmh (26.2 mph) cutoff, whereas the 250W and 500W motors has a 45 kmh cutoff. It is possible to nudge 45 kmh (28 mph) by playing with wheel diameter in the diagnostics, but to no great benefit...

I don't think the speed limit is in the wheel, but in the battery firmware since that is where it gets set by diagnostics (setting 25 km/h vs. 45 km/h). I have a Turbo S battery in my base Turbo and found a bit of difference by setting the wheel diameter smaller at the 2000 mm limit. But it is...

Using the diagnostics or Mission Control, you can adjust the wheel size only down to 2000 mm from the actual of around 2200 mm on a Turbo S using its 700x45c tires. (Note the Specialized Nimbus tires on the Turbo S are a bit larger than the Specialized Electrak on the base Turbo). This might buy...

Nothing specific. Given the controller bugs reported so far on Vado 3.0 and 4.0, and the fact that Mission Control integration is yet to be seen, I am pessimistic.

I wrote a bug report. I have gotten no response. No fix to my knowledge.
