Last year I bought 3 Turbo Levo Comp, one for me (L size), one for my wife (M) and one for a son (XL).
After 350 km, having the bikes side by side, we noticed that the X-Fusion Manic seat tube of the XL bike was not 170 mm long (as in specifications) but only 125 mm.
I called Specialized Italy...
Specialized, the walk button is now not completely useless, but almost useless, yes.
I guess you start with a slow crank rotation to assure the bike never "walk" at more than 5 km/h, and wait for two magnet passages in order to calculate the crank/wheel rotation rate. After this initial...
A bit OT, but I hope this data can be interesting...
Regarding the discussion about the support drop at 15% and 5% and the voltage drop
Data collected during a single trip 3050m vertical drop
700 Wh battery, I always let the battery 1 minute before taking the screenshot (the battery recovers...
Pressing the button ! ;)
If you "help" the wheel to rotate, in order to speed up the two passages of the magnet in front of the speed sensor, doesn't work.
The motor has to "feel" some resistance.
If you rotate the wheel only one turn, the motor has to turn by itself the wheel other two turns...
New experience.
Place the chain on 42T sprocket, and the magnet just after the speed sensor.
Push walk mode and time a complete turn of the crank.
On my bike 6-9", it depends on previous trials.
So a complete turn of the wheel takes a minimum of 42/32*6" = 7.9"
and if the magnet has just passed...
I agree to base on evidence (see my measurements about walk mode), but if I'm pushing at about 250W (I'm 65 :() at 40% support and SUDDENLY "feel" a dramatic drop in support and then look at the battery remaining and see 15% (before this discussion, so not influenced), what should I think...
Yes, you're right: if you push the bike (faster than the motor push) while pressing walk button, after some seconds (or pedal rotation, I don't know) pedals stop rotating, and if you keep the walk button pressed you will get an error.
Following my previous hypothesis I tried to "accelerate" the initial transitory speeding up 2 wheel rotation by hand: no way, it waits for his rotations.
I tried to continuously rotate the wheel by hand: after some seconds pedals stops!
So I think the software wants to "feel" resistance, in...
Maybe walk mode starts slow, waiting for 2 passages of the magnet in front of the speed sensor, in order to allow the software to calculate the actual gear ratio, and then drive the bike at 5 km/h ?
:unsure:
Eagerly posted an official answer to the second question.
About the first one, to get out of hearsay, I made some experiences (Mag 2.1 and 7.3.6 firmware).
With rear wheel in free air, before engaging the normal walk mode (about 5 km/h) it seems the speed sensor waits for 2 passages of the...
Pyr0, I agree.
No drop until 15% battery remaining, at that point big drop.
Not sure if there is another minor drop at 10%
For sure there is another drop at 5%, but the motor is still pushing: no need to check the motor power in MC, only try to go to zero support....
At 5% you are pushing as an...
Mike, do you have a link to that regulatory change?
because I'm not able to find anything on the web
especially regarding the >10" before the normal speed
Are we sure 10" slow motion is set by Pedelec or did Specialized exceeded?
Another hint: once the walk mode is correctly engaged, if you release the walk button and push it again, the bike starts soon at 6 km/h.
You can repeat it as many time as you like and the behavior lasts until push again on pedals (you can feel the disengagement if you pedal with an hand or in a...
The walk mode takes about a complete crank turn (very slow) to engage a normal speed in walk mode, but if the chain is on the lowest gear (normal condition when I climb steep terrain), and there is some resistance (on steep terrain), and the magnet has just passed the speed sensor, the magnet...
We (me, my wife and a son) have 3 Specialized Turbo Levo Comp equipped with Brose Mag 2.1
Before I had 2 Haibike Sduro Fullnine SL, equipped with Yamaha
Before we had (the other son even now) many muscular bikes, mainly Specialized, but now I'm over 65 and I need some help to reach 2500-3000 m...
I have exactly the same behaviour, on 3 different Turbo Levo.
Sometime does not engage at all, sometime after few seconds at very low speed disengages and, in all cases, after about 5 secons I get the error (red line and blue line just below).
Never got this error if the rear wheel is free in...
