Warning!!

Riding a tuned or deristricted EMTB is not a trivial offence and can have serious legal consequences. Also, many manufacturers can detect the use of a tuning device or deristricting method and may decline a repair under warranty if it was modified from the intended original specification. Deristricting EMTB's can also add increased loads for motors and batteries. Riding above the local law limit may reclassify the bike as a low-powered bike, requiring insurance, registration and a number plate.

Be aware of your local country laws. Many laws prohibit use of modified EMTB's. It is your responsibility to check local laws. Ignoring it, has potential implications to trail access, and risk of prosecution in the event of an accident.

Just wondering if anyone has ever had any luck in getting hold of a copy of Specialized Turbo Studio to use at home?
I know there's a dealer login etc but wondered if there were any cracked versions or anything of the sort. I'm based in the UK and was looking at ways to install the US firmware on a Turbo Levo via VPN etc. It's purely for academic reasons and I would of course switch back if I were to ever use it on something other than private land....
It seems to be an ideal option to reduce the restriction without doing anything that could potentially harm the bike as you're just installing Specialized's own firmware, just for a different country.
