Yes, it's the opposite of what the crank on a Bosch bike does. On that you spin the crank one rev and the chainring spins 2 revs. This will spin the magnet at less revs than the wheel.
I agree this needs sort of gasket/cover for mud protection, in the UK anyway.
The teeth look very small...
I had my LBS ask Specialized and they told me there are no tokens in the Expert shock. If they are wrong and you can remove one I would be interested in buying it :)
The bike power modes are very customisable. I have setup 2 'trail' modes and a turbo mode. Like you I wanted to ride with other people without struggling or running away. I have changed the ECO mode to 25/100%, Trail 40/100% and TURBO 100/100%. I might tune the 2 lower mode base levels up or...
I think the range is more limited by elevation than distance. I did about 1000m with a comp carbon 500wh battery. As mentioned your weight, ground conditions etc all affect range.
I got the firmware updated and there is a clear improvement. I wouldn't say its perfect, the engagement of the motor after pressing the button is still quite variable but it doesn't take more than a few yards to get going. It also doesn't have to be a long gear anymore. It seems to be influenced...
I tried my 2019 Expert for the first time yesterday. There are a few sections on my local trails where pushing up is required so I hoped walk mode would help but it was a very mixed bag. It fails to deliver a consistant level of assistance, sometimes I press the button and start pushing and...
I can't find good info on the 2019 battery LEDs. When charging my 700wh version there are 4 LED's, 2 are green constant on, one off, one blinking green. Is that normal ?
The problem I have with this (as an £7250 Levo Expert owner) is that when I sell the bike potentional buyers might look at it as an early unfixed bike with the wrong motor cover and it will cost me.
The point is that when the issues appear due to corrosion it will be too late for warranty claims and we will be screwed. It obviously is a problem that has happened to some 2017/2018 bikes and it will be even worse for 2019 bikes that don't get the 'fix'. If Specialized say that they will make...
