The Official BLEvo Thread

Downloaded the Lightblue app, so fingers crossed when i check later.

It sounds like if motor is 6.1.0 and TCU version is 1.011 (confirmed with ligtblue) then it cannot be changed yet.

This is what my 2019 Levo unfortunately is. Hopefully they’ll be a fix soon....

Sorry, but what you mean with "they"?

I think he means there?
Paolo when do you get your bike?
Do you think you can also handle yet blocked TCU version in the future to change speed limit?

I cannot answer without a bike.. next week I will do some test on a Levo 2019..
Stay tuned

Can someone clarify if the Levo 2019 model can now be derestricted?

How do you find out the TCU? Looked on light blue and can't see anything that matches that.

I'm releasing a new version of BLEvo in order to check quickly the TCU version.
You can connect with loghtblue and check the firmware version

 

[PaoloBLEvo]

I just released version 3.0.4 of BLEvo for Android.
The version of the TCU can now be checked in the battery monitor. From the various tests done, it seems that if the version of the TCU is 2.019 (for the Levo 2019) the wheel circumference is modifiable. Instead if the version is 2.025, the wheel circumference is NOT changeable. The "old" Levo / Kenevo will present the TCU version V1.7.0.

Here are the news:
- The default wheel size is 2300 for the Levo 2019
- Fixed the Wh of the battery on 2019 (added a factor of 0.9)
- Added the possibility of not disabling the keys when the screen is located (for those holding the phone on the handlebar)
- Added reading of the TCU version

Download the update from Google Play:

Enjoy your ride

That's cool. But I want to check it works via light blue before purchasing the app.

I can't find TCU under any of the options in light blue.

Use nRFConnect or LightBlue.. They are free.

Tried ble scanner too and still can't see TCU. Is it visible from the below screenshot?

 

[ccrdave]

its the software version, I would say your bike is modifiable

You can see the "software revision string" value set to 2.019. You should be able to change the wheel size.
Let us know.

 

[All Mountain Coaching]

Ok, I've bought the app.

 

[PaoloBLEvo]

Ok, I've bought the app.

.... and... are you able to change the speed limit?

 

[RickW]

drum roll...... meanwhile getting mine (both) on Saturday...

 

[Midie]

Hi there, next week, I‘ll get my Turbo Levo 2018 with the new Turbo Connect Display. I have just bought Blevo for my iPhone (xs). Now I‘m thinking if the combination TCD and Blevo is ideal. What Do you think? Is it better to mount the iPhone on the Levo bar and use Blevo as a Display?

And is there a good Mount for the iPhone which you can recommend?

 

[Matt00]

Hi Paolo

My 2019 Levo is:

Motor 6.1.0
Firmware revision 1.011
Software revision 2.025

The speed adjust slider works but when bike is reset, returns to it original position so does not work.

You mentioned wheel size which defaults at 2255 (I’m on iOS)

I understand that the speed adjust will not work at this time.

Are you saying that the wheel size can still be changed to ultimately over ride the speed restriction i.e. pretend the wheels are smaller?

Thanks

 

[All Mountain Coaching]

Ok, I've bought the app.

.... and... are you able to change the speed limit?

Yes. Changed the kph up to 50. Restarted the bike, set off along the road. It didn't stop at 25.

Reset back down to 25 and restarted bike.

So is that all you need to do to keep it derestricted?

Is it traceable?

Do you need to have the app running for it to take effect? Because I don't have a mount and I'm not interested in all the data, speed etc.

 

[khorn]

Maybe I'm too paranoid but I would immediately delete the original Specialized Mission control from your phone as I'm suspicious that they are logging loads of stuff from your bike even if the app is turned off. Specialized have in another thread described(same concept as Tesla) how they are able to interact, via the app, with your software installed on your bike behind your back. That is if you want to keep your warranty safe

I'm also a BLevo user and whatever you can do in MC, you can do so much better in BLevo anyway. Also, don't update any bike firmware/software in the future as you could loose important functions in BLevo.

[All Mountain Coaching]

Done!

How do you stop that happening?

 

[khorn]

How do you stop that happening?

Tell your LBS “DON’T TOUCH THE SOFTWARE” if/when it goes in for service and don’t connect MC.

No, you don't to keep the App up and running if you don't want to use smart power..
Enjoy with your unlocked bike..

But before every ride, you have to start the app and pair it with the bike, so that all the settings take effect?

 

[PaoloBLEvo]

No.. the static settings are stored in the bike..

 

[Thomas]

What would you recommend when receiving new bike?
Register and set up everything with mission control fisrt and then use BLevo or skip everything and just set up everything with BLevo?

That's perfect. Set and forget. Exactly what I was after. Keep up the good work.

 

[Benny90]

Has anyone managed to get LightBlue working like before where you changed the coding?

 

[TheBikePilot]

I’ve hacked my bike using light blue. Will this affect BLEvo as it’s still recognised the wheel size as 2250 but mission control sees it as 700mm..

If so does anyone know the Hex code to put my bike back to standard size to just use blevo? Cheers. Jon

 

[Boots3150]

Was this acheived on your 2019 Levo?
I have tried running this app on IOS 12 and apart from scroll wheels spinning out of control and not sticking and messages displaying over other messages, it simply failed to save any change in the Max Speed beyond 25km/h.
I have not seen an app update come through that may have remedied these issues.

Any tricks or tips would be appreciated. Is there a video anywhere of someone successfully using this app?
