Now you need a trailwatts booster ?Already have a shock spring and mudguard from Sicomtb, a FJM Custom stand and now a Levociaptor ordered. Supporting the people who make cool products for ebikes!

It’s a very neat solution but the website has quite limited information . Also what we all need to know is can a LBS using their Specialised support software detect if the motor has been assisting above the set limit . Voiding a warranty would be seriously bad news if you needed it! And on this note what about the difference in the max assist set for different countries?
I agree the 'cut' off point in the UK is just a shade too low. I love the off road performance and its plenty fast enough for me, but riding along roads to get places can be a bit frustrating, especially in headwinds when a bit of extra assistance would be appreciated. None of us want silly speeds just a bit more help for the road! 20Kg + bikes with fat tyres aren't much fun on tarmac!I agree , I would like my bike to assist up to say 30 mph to stop the surging effect on road riding , but worried about how it wires in , and if detectable for warranty etc
Is that a new one from the 2018?Not bothered about this kit as i dereistricted my Levo 2019 via lightblue etc...
But... with the restiction lifted i cannot peddle past 32mph, the rpm of my legs is just too fast throwing my legs into oblivion! It is not comfortable trying to keep that pace due to the rpm, sure i could up my chainring but its just not needed.
The main issue is the diy builds with push button power!
If you remove the device following instructions, calibration shows no signs of the levociraptor.
Diagnostic shows no strange data. Specialized concept store test ?
De-restricting your bike to raise limit to 20-25mph will be sufficient for most who are fit and ride manual bikes.
Just because there is a maximum I think you would need to be World XC fitness to get that speed and I wouldn’t like to try.
This is what will ruin it for the rest of us, too bad.
At those speeds they should consider a dirt bike.

Exactly what I was trying to say, totally agree with you, some people in this thread seem to be suggesting we want to ride our E-MTB's at 60mph! we don't! Like you I try to use eco most of the time when out with friends and trail mode up some of the steeper climbs, but roads are pretty boring! I rarely use Turbo unless I'm really tired or want to get up stupidly steep climbs.I now ride on tarmac to the trails from home. Pre eMTB I would take my E-MTB's to the tralis on a car rack. 20 min drive.
I have the fitness to ride my Levo 2019 the 30 min cycle journey to and from the trails but it gets boring and puts me off sometimes. Also headwinds on the returns journey with tired legs takes out what joy is left. So a bit of oomph to get me their and back quicker and leave me more time on the trails is a plus for slightly faster motor. On the trails I rarely come out of eco mode and prefer to work hard (ish!) ?

This is for everyone "freaking out" Relax and enjoy the bike no matter what is done to it, as far as the law goes, how many cops are going to be able to determine if a fuckin emtb is derestricted or not??? Or even care, just relax, stress less, spend more time getting out there and enjoying it then being frantic about being caught.
Limited by air resistance of the rider.Drag Limited?
Would be funny to watch someone trying to pedal at that speed, your legs would explode. Even at 25-30 mph you feel like a hamster in a wheel, the gearing just isn't right for speeds much above the limit on a Turbo Levo. We just a few more than the 15.5mph limit here in the UK though. In fact most people I talk to would be happy with 25 or even 20
You nailed itYep, it’s ok at the mo whilst all us sensible old men have the bikes. Enjoy em while you can I say.
Once the idiots amongst us start selling them to/buying them for kids.
Then we’re all fubard.
But if the motor was sent back to Specialised for repair surely they could tell if it had been used above the set speed limits?If you remove the device following instructions, calibration shows no signs of the levociraptor.

Hi,
Nice device!
How do you know specialized can't detect your device have been connected?
I went to a specialized concept store yesterday, bought a Turbo Levo and discussed unrestricting and if they could detect it.
The guy from the shop said that they can detect tuning. He showed me one engine that had failure, sent back to manufacturer and came back with writing on it with indelible marker "tuned" and other cases. Several of his customers have lost the warranty on the entire bikes.
That’s fair enough but it does seem that Spec can detect motors that have been assisting beyond the set limit, and if this voids your warranty that’s a big concern obviously ? who wants to pay £1000 for a new motor ! I don’t know if your system is any different but we kind of need to know the risks?I will not discuss publicly how the module works to modify signals etc.
Disclaimer: Levociraptor is not accountable for you fitting and using a device that removes factory restrictions. If the fitting and removal process are followed it is invisible to the bike.
