    Known Issues & Problems with Specialized Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Saw this thread, and just wanted to send an update on my 2021Turbo Levo SL. I have been enjoying this successor to my 2016 Levo FSR. It's a great bike, much lighter, excellent handling, and though it has the lower power motor and battery range, it's been adequate. I added the RE battery to...

    2016 Levo FSR

    Stefan, I noted your comment about "it is a real mystery how your Levo is expected to operate". I have been concerned considering the age of my Levo, including Gen 1 electronics, that it suddenly shut off, and the fact that there is no explanation for the failure, and therefore no resolution...

    2016 Levo FSR

    The LBS expert is not aware of any "limp home mode" on my Levo. The only thing he can think of is the harness connection was suddenly lost. However, that does really explain what happened. I need to go for a few test rides to see if it happens again. I have never used Smart Control, but I...

    2016 Levo FSR

    Stefan, Just detailed the bike, cleaned up all the sprockets and chain, etc. Took it for a short ride. Runs very well in boost, and also smoothly with battery off in lower gears. When I first got the Levo, it was a disaster, and Specialized actually replaced the whole bike after one month, so...

    2016 Levo FSR

    Stefan, thanks again. I checked and the battery firmware is 4.17.1 and motor is 7.1.1. Also the odometer shows 2853 miles, which would be the present (third) motor, not the total for the bike or battery. This bike also had the harness replaced once, and the charger replaced once. It's also...

    2016 Levo FSR

    Stefan, thank you. I didn't think this old man, me that is, had any illusions, but clearly I do. I took off the chain, and the crank is free as a bird, no resistance at all. I knew about the Smart Control, but have it turned off. So if the "limp home" mode kicks in at 20% battery, is there a...

    2016 Levo FSR

    Have had motor issues, and my 2016 Turbo Levo is on its third motor, but has been great for 2000 miles. Yesterday, after 25 miles, it suddenly became harder to pedal, like a resistance to pedaling. The battery was down to 20%. This morning I turned it on to 100% boost and tried it. It was...

    Known Issues & Problems with Specialized Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    A new apparent failure on my 2016 Turbo Levo FSR. I'm on my third motor, which was installed in January, 2020 and has worked flawlessly. Have about 6000 miles on bike, so maybe 2000 miles on this motor. Rode today, and just at the end of a 25 mile ride, bike became hard to pedal, I...

    Have no updates on my MC. Same glitches and false data.

    It shows 155 charge cycles which doesn't seem very high. Battery must be losing cells?

    Known Issues & Problems with Specialized Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    For whatever reason over the last year or so, the battery usually only charges up to 94-96%, rarely 100%. The charger is relatively new, a warranty replacement in 2019. So with 90% healthy battery, does that mean the capacity is now 0.90 times 0.95 = 0.855, or a range reduction of roughly 15%...

    Known Issues & Problems with Specialized Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    I bought it because it was supposedly much better than MC, which was perfect 4 years ago, and now is problematic, especially with no service. I'm quite aware that these wonderful "plug and play" devices are often not. The Iphone 11 is rather mainstream, and if there is an issue, then BLevo...

    Known Issues & Problems with Specialized Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    The claim is that it is compatible with my e-bike. It is not, apparently, and support via some forum is useless. It's a Gen I Specialized e-bike with up to date firmware and an Iphone 11 that is quite functional. Very simple.

    Known Issues & Problems with Specialized Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Paolo sent a forumfree.it link. Comes with ads for young girls looking to hookup. I'm trying to hook up with the BLevo app, not the girls. Tried it again after changing and re-entering settings. It says scanning for bike, but never finds it. Now it's back to "turn Bluetooth on". I asked...

    Emailed Paolo Dozio. No response. Ridercare at Specialized is also unavailable, but that's been frequently the case for years.

    Known Issues & Problems with Specialized Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    I wonder if the updated MC, stated as only for Gen II bikes is the cause of the glitches on mine. Another puzzle. Of course MC does the updates with no notice. It must be that Swiss precision, unfortunately only good for watches.

    Didn't find it on my iPhone, but MC says it's 2.4.3 Build 75 on contact page. That version, however, is not for my Generation I. Looking how to contact BLevo. Haven't found it.

    Known Issues & Problems with Specialized Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    MC was available from the start, and continues to be heavily promoted by Specialized. For me the MC was perfect at the beginning, and furthermore you could actually contact MC for support on settings. MC then made some updates, never with advance notice, and has gone to zero support. I think...

    Known Issues & Problems with Specialized Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Bike firmware is up to date, according to Specialized. My bike is a Generation I, and the latest MC update is apparently only for newer bikes. How do I determine my MC version? Purchased and downloaded BLevo. DOA. It opens up, says "Bluetooth is off. Please activate the Bluetooth", and...
