2019-2020 Levo (2020 Kenevo) Speed Unlock Levociraptor

[Barto]

You pull out your tcu and plug this in-between the tcu and the motor and then put all of it in the downtube, it derestricts the motor so it doesn't bog down when you pedal past full speed. It has power settings that can let you overpower your motor too. It is easily removed and then you can take it to the shop and they are none the wiser. It's idiot proof, as I am an idiot and I use it.

Also, regarding warranty issues and if specialized will bother you my experience is that i have my 2020 Levo comp motor blow up in setting 4 with about 1000mi on it. sent to warranty and replaced with absolutely no issues. Now I just run setting 3 most of the time.

Levociraptor is essential . Makes the bike do what it should.

Thank you very much for all that. I was particularly interested in how the device tricks the computer into thinking the wheel circumference has changed and wondering if any data traces are left to inform Specialized that it was connected?

You cannot alter firmware within the tcu.

misunderstanding?
i sugest you change levoceraptor, so it has other multiplicators

About a month ago I was cycling through a village on the way to a bridleway on my Levo doing circa 14mph from the pavement a little girl about 4 or 5 years of age ran out immediately in front of me her head was handlebar height somehow more by luck than skill I managed to miss her honestly there was millimetres in it, its already been established by the courts in the UK that if you hit pedestrian its the cyclists fault regardless even if the pedestrian is using their phone and not looking even slightly where their going so if Id have struck that little girl the accident would have been my fault if I was riding a derestricted Levo so effectively an unregistered uninsured motorbike and the little girl was seriously injured Id have been looking at jail-time on top of that Id of lost my house to cover ensuing costs and compensation. Any thoughts I had of derestricting my bike evaporated in a cold sweat.

I only every take my bike to bikeparks in a van, so this would never be an issue for me.

Well my levociraptor stopped working, erratically turns off the whole bike, wouldn’t turn on anymore, worked like a charm before. Hope Trailwatts responds and replaces the unit. Will report

I received mine a few days ago (#1010). I have a 2020 Turbo Levo Comp with TCU 26.B.0. For me only levels 3-5 work (or maybe 1-5, but I haven’t tested 1 and 2). When setting it to 6 or 7 it seems to be restricted at 25 km/h. Any idea what the issue might be?

This is happening to me as well, cant get to the bottom of it.

 

[congerball]

Hopefully @TrailwattsUK can help you out. I noticed that their website does NOT list 26.B.0 as a tested firmware, considering how long this firmware has been out I’d have thought they’d have made the effort to update their website if it has indeed been tested and confirmed to be working as advertised. I don’t own one YET as I’m waiting for my warranty to run out first but if the website doesn’t list my firmware (or can’t be bothered to update it) then I’ll be leaving it alone ?

@TrailwattsUK
22b is the last display version (MC) listed as compatible on the website, there are newer versions now, when will the website be updated with newer versions?

So far there has been no issue with all new versions. Newest firmware allows use up to setting 5 on Levociraptor unit.

My Levociraptor works perfect with display version 25.B.0. (setting 3) Now i'am asked to update (mission control) to 26.B.0. I don't know if this works?

Remove levociraptor then update if you wish.

 

[desmoracing]

Always ask yourself what Advantage does the update bring.....and what might be the Risk, then decide... I mostly don’t see any benefit in firmware updates except they tend to break your speed unlocks

 

[desmoracing]

And that’s not a benefit

 

[blacktiger]

I've fitted a "Planet3" to my Levo. It's mechanical and works. Cheaper than the 'raptor and doesn't risk your electronics. I'm curious as to why so many are raving about the Levoraptor?

[Robin Grant]

@TrailwattsUK So does the Levociraptor work with the new firmware update released on 28th July? Or not? It's not very clear from the above!

 

[JetSetDemo]

Just had the update and I think from a very short ride around the estate I live that’s it’s no longer working as it did before, anyone else got any thoughts?

 

[JetSetDemo]

Ok good news after a proper ride it still works fine, trail seams to be a little different in power delivery but turbo is full on full fat no speed limiter

Yes it works

Long time lurker... hello

Anyone that's running this since last year able to report back on long term problems?

Also keen to learn how it impacts range... my rides tend to leave me with 20% or so left over on a standard 2020 Levo 500wh battery

Thanks!

 

[JetSetDemo]

I run a 700w so can only speak for that. I have 2500 miles on my Levo in a year and a bit, around 1000 with it fitted. I do t ride that much in turbo mostly just 35% trail and a bit of 25% eco.

I don’t notice the impact on distance. As always it’s subject to elevation as well as miles but for perspective I was at Iners and Glentress 2 weeks ago and do 32miles with 3800ft of climbing on one ride and it was dead, I was also blown out by that point and had used the odd bit of turbo to avoid cardiac arrest.

I am also on my first motor and battery although I have had the battery cable issues and that was fixed under warranty start of this year so I have had no issues with the device so far breaking the motor.

hope this helps, although if a 500w user has some feedback for you that may be more relevant.

I dont think it impacts battery life. If you go hard in turbo maybe 10 % extra . If cruising in eco or trail no effect

 

[GazzR]

Thanks for the feedback guys. I know it would be hard to fully quantify the effect because of all the variables at play. Appreciate the replies, think i'll have to get one on my shopping list for sure

 

[AdamDuckworth]

I have just had the new, new motor fitted to my 2019 Levo Expert. So I now have another two years warranty.. nice.
Any issues on using the Levociraptor with the latest upgraded motor and firmwares?

 

[desmoracing]

I am normally not using any public Forums for getting to the manufacturer, but I have been trying to get my faulty Levociraptor replaced by Trailwatts, for the last 4 weeks, I have sent you my unit and Trailwatts said he will replace it...since then no reply to any emails etc. I was very happy with your customer service so far, but now ....Nothing!

 

[Bike]

I installed my Levociraptor a couple of weeks ago. (all working as it should)
A couple of days later my TCU started acting up. So I performed a TCU reset with the dongle installed on position 0 and took the bike back to my Spesh dealer and they replaced the TCU under warranty, so I presume they cannot check if it has been installed or not.
Great product!

This is valid for tcu not for the engine, i suppose you should remove it before,doesn'it?

I'm still curious if there is some sort of data logging inside the engine itsself. I offcourse removed the levociraptor before performing the reset and taking the bike back to the shop.

After a couple of rides I did have soms problems with the motor acting up (started accelleration too hard considering the input I was giving). I checked everything and had some water ingress in the contacts between the levociraptor and the TCU. I solved this by applying some dielectric grease to the rubber seals, also, I have applied dielectric grease to the bottom of the TCU (where the TCU touches the frame) for a more watertight fit. Haven't had any problems since.

Levociraptor replacement unit arrived today from Trailwatts. Thx for the customer service

Hello, sorry google translate,
I too have noticed excessive consumption on the battery.
I ride with very low assistance and I could easily do 1500/1700 meters in altitude.
I bought levociraptor in June 2020, I drive with selection 4, I have noticed that I cannot climb more than 1000/1100 meters and I run out of battery. In these laps I hardly exceed 25km / h.
I removed the levociraptor with its procedure and went to the dealer for a check. Result has not seen any changes ..., the engine is ok, the battery is ok, update performed.
I reinstall the levociraptor, I walk a known path and the same problem of autonomy.
TrailwattsUK do you have sulutions? Does anyone else have this problem?
