Hi @PaoloBLEvo
I've been doing some rides on my Levo with SmartPower&HR and enjoying seeing how economical it can be with the battery. However, I have a question about average consumption per mile.

On today's ride I did 24.86 miles consuming 110Wh of battery, 110/24.86 = 4.42 Wh/mile

The screenshot below, which I get to see by choosing 'more details', shows 6.93 Wh/mile.

The screenshot below that, which is the overview one for the ride, shows 4.31 Wh/mile which is much closer to my calculation.

Can you explain why the figures on these two screenshots are different.
Many thanks

The Wh/km is calculated in function of the parameter "Calculate the autonomy including the descent data". This is because when the motor is not consuming (e.g. during the descent), in my opinion the km should not be considered.. So with this option you can select the different calculation mode..

 

[PaoloBLEvo]

I've noticed a number of what seem to be inconsistencies in values displayed. In your case, if you do the conversion you'll find that 6.93 is 1.61 x 4.31, where 1.61 is the number of kilometers in a mile. IOW, there's a mistake in the app where the miles to km conversion is not being done. I'm not sure this is happening in other places.

You are right.. there is a bug in the tour list.. thanks.. I will fix in the next release..

I am guessing this was already asked in this thread but I was not able to find it. I have been using BLevo for over a year on my 2019 Turbo Levo Expert and the Ascent value has always been mostly accurate compared to another Garmin I use at the same time.
Just in the last week, the value has increased to almost double what it should be. Everything else is matching up with my Garmin app accept for the ascent value.
Just got off a ride and my Garmin shows the ascent value at 2985 feet and the BLevo app is showing 5553 feet.
Any ideas, has anyone experienced the over calculated value?
Thank you for any help in advance.

@MTBGUY65 - sorry, can't answer your question, but I'm curious as to why your 515wh battery usage is split into two: 380 + 135. Do you have two battery sources?

So... is there any chance that we will be able to configure a landscape screen on an ios device? Sorry if this has been asked already!

Hi,

I am having a problem with my Kenevo expert (2019) and the Blevo speed limiter adjustment.

I own a Kenevo expert 2019 and I have a problem with the "engine" (no power) and I have to take it to the bike shop. The dealer said that I have to put the factory settings back on (change the max speed from 70 km/h back to 25 km/h). There seems to be a problem with Blevo because I can not adjust the speed limit. When I change it back to 25 km/h and try to save, then Blevo tells me to restart the bike. I restart the bike but every time I do it, the speed limit turns back to 70 km/h. What is going on with Blevo? Very annoying. I am using an iPhone xs (ios). My iPhone's and blevo's software is updated to the newest versions.

The problem with my kenevo:
The engine "will not start" (the engine does not give any power). The battery turns on (lights turn on) but the engine power controls on the handlebar do not work. It is still possible to charge the battery via charging cable. I looked at the mission control app and it does not show any problems. Maybe this problem has to do with the battery or engine cables...not sure and not an expert in this matter.

What I have tried to do to solve this blevo speed limiter issue:
- Deleted Blevo app and re-installed it, twice (did not help)
- Tried about 100 times to adjust the speed limit back to 25 km/h, save, turned off and restarted the kenevo battery, etc (did nothing).

I am getting so frustrated because I want to go and ride my keveno Do you guys have any ideas about what I should try to do to solve this problem? Thanks.

Just a suggestion - no idea if it will work - but what if you try the restore factory settings function in Mission Control? I think it's top right on the Tune screen.

Thanks for the help! Last night I took the battery of the bike and now I installed it back. I opened mission control. Mission control does not show the restore factory settings. I also now noticed that I can not see any information about the engine. I opened Blevo and now it shows that the engine is not on ("red light"). I think I just have to take the bike to the bike shop and deal with the consequences...maybe it might be a costly visit.

Hi Paolo... Creo Expert EVO. BLEvo v3.5.8 iOS I have been having problems with the App losing connection to the bike during rides... My phone still shows a connection and so does the bike but I lose all power... I am able sometimes to restart the connection by turning off the motor and restart the pairing... But that does not always work, then I have to start a New Ride which is a PITA since I loose all the data for the first part of the ride... Is there anything I can do to keep the connection during my ride.... Thanks, Dexter

I think the phone has the barometer, am I right?

If you have a battery extender, you can configure BLEvo to calculate the use of the 2 batteries

I think you could have some issue in the cable between battery and motor.. please try to clean the contacts..

The connection on iOS should be stable.. It is very strange.. you can try to re-install the app (sorry but you lost all the rides) or you can try with another phone.. Let me know..

 

[PaoloBLEvo]

Hi Paolo. I keep getting blank rides in between every actual ride. i.e. no data for a ride that never actually happened. I delete them of course, but what's causing them to appear?

 

[MTBGUY65]

Yes it does it is Samsung Note 9.

 

[MTBGUY65]

My BLevo crashes as soon as I try to start a ride. Attached are the crash files. I sure hope you can see what is making it crash from the attachments.
I will really miss using the app.

Are you sure that you wait the GPS signal before start the ride?

 

[PaoloBLEvo]

Yes it does it is Samsung Note 9.

Are you using some other app in parallel? Because I understood that if the barometer is used by another app, BLEvo calculates wrongly the ascent value..
Let me know..

 

[MTBGUY65]

Yes it show the GPS and Bike had the thumbs up.

Please try to use a different map type..
I read that there is an issue in Google Map..

Sign in - Google Accounts

The solution for Google is to clear the cache of the App, but in this case you will lost all the rides data..

 

[PaoloBLEvo]

Are you sure that the battery optimization is disabled for BLEvo?

Hi Paolo... I removed the App and installed the new version like you suggested and I'm having some problems with the setup... I'm trying to use Smart Power and Smart HR together and the new version will not let me enable the Smart HR function which I use a lot!
The second problem is on Eco, in the older version I could set the parameters from 0% to 10% and now it will only let me go to 1% to 10%!! I want my bike to be using 0% battery when I'm under 200w leg power. Does this mean I will be using 1% of the battery all the time when I'm under 200w?

BLEvo never allow to use 0% of assistance.. strange that you could do..
About the Smart HR you have to setup the heart rate monitor belt or configure BLEvo to use the Apple Watch.

Thanks Paolo... For some reason my HR monitor belt was not stored when I added the new update...

Could be, as I usually am inside when I start. I’ll check next time.

 

[mikelafrance]

The wheel diameter setting should be your actual wheel diameter, this will keep the distance covered true. The MPH change is the 'unrestrict' setting

You need to change what you want to change..
If you want to change the speed limit, change the speed limit. The wheel size must be the real wheel size..

so changing the mph will allow me to go past the default 20mph? what is the "speed x value " used for?
