Motor engages when not required.

Hi. I have a turbo Levo and every now and then the motor engages and pulls me along whilst not pedalling. Does anyone else’s do that? It can be quite off putting if you climbing a hill or technical part!

Are you talking about when you stop pedaling and it still continues for maybe .5secs? Mine does that and so did my other ebike a Shimano motor, but this Brose seems to do it slightly longer time as I never felt the extra run on with the Shimano motor.

Yes.....exactly that. It doesn’t do it every time, but when it does, you can feel like you are out of control. Any idea what causes it?

Specialized once said it should stop after about 0,2s when you stop putting pressure on the pedals, but sometimes it does take a sec or 2, also depends on your power/acceleration setting, but if it is several seconds or if you even experiencing infinite pedal spin then this sounds like problem with torque sensor and new motor may be required to fix the problem.
