If you run peak power at 100% you will always have full motor power available if you put out enough power. This chart is useful to understand what the permutations are.
I always have peak power set to max so that the bike power always increases in line with my output. I run assistance levels of 15 35 and 65 and can get almost 500w from the motor in eco at 15%. Running any less than max peak power is just creating another motor limiter, which is great for...
I think running an SL with trail set to 50% 1:1 ride assist would be a sweet spot between a good workout and a lot of fast fun and presumably for a reasonable distance with the standard battery. Shame I wasn’t allowed to change the settings today to test my theory. Maybe I’ll have to try to...
Big thanks to Adam from Specialized for letting me go up front on most of the trails which enabled me to ride this bike as fast as I could on many. I left the bike in the trail mode setting for the all of the runs which defaults to 35% assistance, 100% peak power. I was carrying the extra...
Couldn’t you use Smart control in theory? Tell it you have 80 km until you get home estimate the evaluation tell it you want 2% battery left and let Mission Control manage the power.
I’d say that limiting peak power will give you the biggest battery saving potential. If you can put out reasonable power you will be able to get that motor to its max power even at relatively low assistance levels. I run my Eco mode at only 15% assistance , but with PP at 100% according to BLEvo...
I’m at the Specialized Peaslake Levo SL event on Sunday. I’m hoping it’s a great bike, but that I’ll prefer my 3 month old Levo Comp Carbon. Main reason I bought the Levo was to get more miles of trail riding in in the limited time I have available, which it enables me to do nicely. My rides are...
A new KMC chain, a cheap one as the £30 Ebike specific one that came with the Levo is knackered after only 8 weeks and 215 miles of riding in the wet Surrey Hills!
