Looks like a new Mastermind display too.
Interesting. I wonder if they managed to squeeze it into the same space, be awesome if this was an easy upgrade for older bikes. New SL1.2 motor, mastermind MCU and this battery as an upgrade kit would be sweet.
Handlebar display though

It has been released half a year ago already but yeah would be a nice capacity for the SL bikes while being still reasonably light. The downtube of the Vado is much wider than the current Levo/Kenevo SL though so it will not be an upgrade for the current models I'm afraid

Yes! And the large battery would increase the weight near to non SL level…
5 years on, 16,000+km and 210 charge cycles and I finally had to change the TCU battery.
Also got a good tip on getting the battery out. No tweezers or screwdrivers required. Just unplug the TCU and open up the rubber port cover and with the battery opening facing down, tap the TCU firmly onto your palm or a rubber pad and the battery just pops out!

I have to do it also TCU battery after almost 5 years and around 20.000 km but my main battery shows now 90% and I feel that it drops lot faster :/
My main battery is still showing 100% health, which I wouldn't think would be true by now. It still seems to perform ok though.

Any advice? I’m replacing my transmission with Shimano and just noticed my carbon (unlike the aluminum) version does not have any tubing for the rear derailleur.I had exactly the same issue and unfortunately you have to drop the motor

Do you have a guide or any photos that you followed?
Picked up my 2024 Comp yesterday. Sold my full power e-bike a couple of years back but had an itch that needed scratching. Saw the bike at a cracking price and gave in. Not my first choice colour wise but for a 2.5 grand saving, I can easily live with it. Today’s job is swapping the carbon wheels and better fork from the enduro bike it’s replacing. It’s already only a couple of kilos heavier than it (Transition Sentinel), so these swaps should put it even closer.
Never ridden a lower power E bike and hoping I don’t miss the extra grunt. TBH I never rode the Bosch motor in boost much, so I don’t think it should be a problem.
Excited for test day out tomorrow.

Picked up a bargain range extender today, but it has the wrong cable - 160mm version for the old Levo SL, not the 145mm version for the current Levo SL.
Anyone run the 'wrong' cable? Any obvious issues assuming I get it tucked out of the way of anything it could catch?
Not mega bucks for a new cable, but if I dont need it...
