Hi all!
I got Levo HT 29er from 2017, TCU ver 1.7.0 and aplication works like a charm.
I use LG G6 with baro.
Its a Very great job made form Paolo! Thank you!
Im reading all this thread and im now on page 77
I use smart HR and its, for now best option for me.
With smart Power i need to do more adjustment. I've tried it but it helped me too much even if i dont needed it...
Is it possible to change destination folder of maps and GPX files to SDcard? I got plenty of space there...

if you can upgrade it to Android 9

Yes you can.

If you want more information about G6 just ask, i use it from most 2 years. After update to Android 9 there is Blevo crash when trying to download maps. Rest seems to be ok.
After 2h ride i ve got 50% of telephone battery. Before ride i need to remember to charge it...
Its not perfect for Blevo it has too much resolution and it cause much battery consumption. As for everyday use AND Blevo it might be perfect ;D

What heart monitor is everyone using ?

Maybe not everyone but i use cheap, china, BLE, chest strap, buyed 2 years ago on aliexpress. It works quite ok. I was thinking about buying POLAR OH1 as it would be more comfortable in use.

 

[TMS]

Polar OH1 user here. No connection problems, like it a lot. Not as sensitive in rapid heart rate changes as chest strap I think. Smart HR may work much better with chest strap?

For Gpx you can use only the internal storage, but for the map, you can use the external sd..

Just to know, do you use a cover? If yes, which is?
And for handlebar support? What you use?
Do you have a picture?

I have a 2020 specialized levo turbo HT, it’s only around 3 weeks old. It’s on firmware version V1.7.0.
If I change the speed only in Blevo to 20.2mph and leave the wheel size at 2300mm, the wheel size is still 2300mm in MC. But if I change the wheel size in Blevo the wheel size changes in MC to the same. Is this correct and should I only be changing the speed in Blevo as I am doing? Thanks

Thanks, so Blevo will work with my firmware version? And the wheel size will be the the same in MC as Blevo?
The table says if I set my wheel size in Blevo to 2300 (which is the correct size) and speed to 30kph then my wheel size will change in MC to 1917mm......mine stays at 2300 in MC?

If in MC stay at 2300, I think the bike has not saved the value..
But is the motor connected correctly with the battery? Could you clean the contact of the cable?

Yes connected and contacts are clean, if I change the wheel size in Blevo it does change wheel size in MC to the same.

 

[PaoloBLEvo]

Yes connected and contacts are clean, if I change the wheel size in Blevo it does change wheel size in MC to the same.

The wheel size will be the same if the speed is 25 Km/h...

 

[Howz]

The wheel size will be the same if the speed is 25 Km/h...

Speed set at 30km/h and wheel size set at 2300mm in Blevo, wheel size in MC is 2300mm ?

I got cover but instead of its look its it very certain on shakes and moulds. Its a cheap china cover but mounted on stem with plastic straps ill make photos tomorrow.
G6 is IP68

 

[Dee Scee]

trouble w/ polar h10 chest strap: it’s been working perfectly with bv6000, blevo and polar beat app for a year. but, the last few rides, the polar beat app has lost the sensor and hr data for half the ride. like, it’s connected to start, but at some point drops. not sure how to troubleshoot. blevo has the hr data for the whole ride. i searched polar and polar forums, but found no mention.

 

[Bomble]

Could anyone suggest a setup where eco is set pretty low for nearly flat stuff, turbo everything set on max for the steepest stuff and is it possible to set trail mode where it acts like Bosch emtb?
Not sure it’s even possible but it would be perfect if I could basically leave it in trail mode all day and it would adapt

 

[Zimmerframe]

Today's obscure Blevo question .. a friend asked me today if a Levo with a "speed cable" would still work with Blevo ? He's been proposed one as a way to de-restrict his Levo - he rides in his own private forest (4000 hectares), but wants to carry on using Blevo. Which leads to the next question - what the heck is a "speed cable" ????

Hi BigFoot,

Besides the comments of Indigo in previous post, I can only add that the BV6000 (32GB) has a smaller internal memory than the BV6000S (16GB). I use the openandro maps which you download once and then save on the device so you can use the maps without a simcard. I am not sure how big the files are for the US but I guess, taking the price difference in mind, it's maybe smarter to order a BV6000.

Thanks for the invite of riding near Washington DC. I have never been in that area before but it must be beautiful. Unfortunately we have small kids so I guess we will not be able to visit the area in short term.

Thanks for all the help I just went for my first android BV 6000 S with remote ride?
I set most of all the settings identical to your post early #2741

My friend also just went for his first BV 6000S android ride as well, both bikes seem to disconnect from the app especially in the beginning of the ride my friends bike 2019 levo would only disconnect for 2 to 5 seconds sometimes as long as 30 seconds where my bike would disconnect from the blevo app for as long as a minute or minute and a half and then it would reconnect.

As the ride went on My 2019 levo would still disconnect but not quite as much.

I do notice last week my iPhone X in the beginning of the ride it would disconnect a little bit but then once I got going it stayed connected.

Is there something wrong with both bikes or do we need to change settings in the BV 6000 S ?

We both were using smart power it worked very well when the phone was connected .

I do have the CVS files from both bike ride.
Both bikes have the newer software version.
The battery SW is 0.3.1
The TCU is 3.025
Blevo version 3.6.1
let me know if you would like the entire CVS file or what do you need, or what setting can I change?

Thanks

Read post #2741 there’s a lot of pictures showing how to set up the android phone the iPhone can be set up similar.
Smart power modulates the percentage of assistance according to how hard you pedal.
But you have to be willing to change the watt leg power setting according to how strong you are ,your endurance and how much you weigh ,I found somewhere between 180 and 240 W is a good setting where it gets me sweating but the motor comes up to speed,
I weigh 195 pounds
If you set the leg power to low the motor ramps up to The highest setting you set

If you set the leg watt power to high the motor will run at minimum and you’ll get very little assistance.

Having this tiny remote strapped to the bars today seem to make the experience much easier to tune. ( first ride with the BV 6000 S android phone.)

I just connected my iPhone to the bike and the Bluetooth setting seems much more stable there must be some sort of energy saving or some type of setting in the android phone that I know nothing about as I’ve never used an android phone before?
Can someone help?

You probably need to turn off battery optimization for the app. Paolo has mentioned it earlier in thread.

Like this ?maybe

Thanks Bigfoot, much appreciated.
