Levo Gen 3 Specialized Gen 3 2022 Levo Megathread!

You may also use the Heart Rate to control your support via Mission Control - From Specialized:

You can add a Bluetooth heart rate belt/strap to monitor your heart rate.
You can set your turbo support to maintain a chosen heart rate.

Most ride reports I’ve seen say the Specialized App is not nearly as functional though. Is that true?

Mission Control says there's a new firmware update for my 2022 comp alloy (US)

Anyone find release notes or update yet?

I rode the bike an hour ago and it said there was an update and needed to take it to a specialized authorized dealer for the update.

Then I connected to get you a screenshot of my current versions and now there's no update available.

Must be a bug...

I've had this before

 

[Zimmerframe]

I've had this before

Last time this happened to people the solution, for most people, was to uninstall mission control and re-install it.

 

[spicker]

Dang it!

 

[brigcampbell]

Yeah... You need to remove the plug by getting a piece of the plug, pinching it, and not just the handle. I use two hands.

I was at a specialized store looking at a bike and opened the charge port door to peek in there. The plug handle was missing. LOL

The store broke it off charging it one time.

The entire charge port door and contents are a design disaster. It's literally located in the worst possible location on the bike.

If you said "where could we put the door to do the most damage?"

No need, it's already there

Yeah. Definitely a drag. I wonder if it’s designed to fail as opposed to breaking the housing of the battery. I was thinking I could drill out the remaining plastic hinge and slip in some steel rod but then what if that breaks the part it clips into? Then it’s cable replacement.

Sized it up and it looks like a piece of 1/8” stainless rod would be a good fit. I think I will try to fix this one up while waiting for a new one from the shop.

Is anyone running just the base cascade link on a alloy levo comp im 88 kg and am thinking about getting one but would like to know if anyones done it and how much of a difference it made

 

[brigcampbell]

What version? My motor has 8.1.0 which was released 09/03/21.

There is a new version after I just updated MC from the play store

 

[roccobarocco]

The App got also a major update to 3.0.0!

I see the same. Nothing new under 'What's New' though, the new firmware isn't listed.

Update complete! What's changed? No idea!?

 

[j.e.]

In the App store the changes are described. There is a new jump count functionality ^_^

 

[ebikerider]

The new firmware is allegedly capable of detecting anything non standard and is then stopping the motors from working. Those with derestrictors beware!

What's New

MasterMind TCU Update
Get the newest firmware using Over the Air updates to benefit from new features and improvements.

Jump Stats (Beta)
Add Jump metrics (number of jumps, last jump distance, and last jump airtime) to your MasterMind TCU. Record a ride and all your jumps will be recorded. On the ride screen, you will see a summary and a list of all jumps.

New Design
With the new and refreshed look of Mission Control, it's now easier than ever to add and manage your Turbo E-Bikes.

 

[spicker]

I updated mine over the air with the older TCU1 on my 22 Comp Alloy.

 

[brigcampbell]

Yawn. Add an ambulance tracker for a complete solution

Haha the scaremongering has started

 

[ebikerider]

From a reputable source. If you can contradict it with further info be my guest.

 

[Cb750stu]

I can indeed contradict it All I'll say is I've done the latest updates and the bike is working fine

 

[ruppia]

Derestricted ? So you have now new app and motor firmware 8.1.5 ?

 

[Cb750stu]

 

[miguelmendes]

Updated yesterday

I noiticed a small bug: when I'm on the new "screen", that I added with the jumping stats data, it sometimes randomly jumps into the 1st "screen" ( default ).

anyone seeing it happening ?

 

[ebikerider]

What device are you using and did you disconnect it prior to doing the update?

 

[Gyre]

No luck getting the update to download on the Levo. Constantly fails between 4-26% during the update connection module phase. I tried deleting and reinstalling the app. No improvement. Any ideas?

Edit: Spoke to Specialized Rider Care this morning. They're seeing a history of errors between the TCU and motor in the log, so it sounds like a bad TCU. Seriously a bummer. I was having problems with the remote on this bike as well and had to swap that out. However Specialized implemented their CANbus, it seems the hardware isn't very robust at all.

Hi !

Same here ! Skips back to the 1st screen.
Perhaps its a feature ?

The new firmware is allegedly capable of detecting anything non standard and is then stopping the motors from working. Those with derestrictors beware!

No way ! The only speed input is the rpm sensor. Every unlocker that creates a smooth modulated signal near the limit can not be detected clearly

The only bug i found is, that when jumping derestricted a 8m Table is shown with only 6.5m due to the wrong speed input over 24km/h

Overall it is a Nice feature Especially the Jump counter !

Best regards,

Chris

Levociraptor and yes

Looks like I will have to try and repair this one as the Canadian distributor doesn't have any spare battery pulls. That kinda sucks. 1/8" steel is a little bit larger than the fat ends of the hinge too. Perhaps I can print a piece to repair it.

 

[SD_Levo]

So to double and triple confirm... Levociraptor 2.0 will continue to work after 8.1.5 update?

The recommendation is to unplug Levociraptor first, update the bike through the MC app, then reconnect it?
