The Official BLEvo Thread

[PaoloBLEvo]

Connected bike up last night to Blevo , I'm now at work but is there a way to read the firmware version etc from the blevo app now or does it have to be connected to bike.

The firmware version is on the bike, but if you read all the parameters yesterday, the Android version permits to see the previuos value.. Enter in the bike setup and send the screenshot..

Thanks to hari43 for the translation of the Android BLEvo documentation in German.
This is the link.


It is accesible directly from the App if the language is in German.
Thanks again.

Hi, anybody tried with a VPN and a US IP setting it up to 32km/h? MC or BLEvo or shop SW? For Levo 2019 with new SW.

The TCU doesn't know where you are located..
What I see is that the new version of the TCU doesn't forward the CAN message to change the wheel size to the motor. And TCU check also the wheel size and change it if it is lower than 2000mm...
I don't know which is the parameter for switching the bike from EU Market to US Market... and I don't know if this parameter can be set via Smartphone..

Ok, but in theory if someone had access to the dealer portal and logged in with US IP and got hold of the US firmware it could work? The HW must be the same for US and Euro models?

Sorry but I don't know.. and if someone know this, it should be very helpful..

Hi, without sim card only maps will not work as within BLEvo ios version these are online. If you like to use maps offline you should buy the BLEvo android version and a cheap android phone.

Also battery consumption could be a problem.. an old phone doesn't have a god battery..

This is really interesting!

Until today we only were aware of TCU 2019 firmware versions 2.019, 2.025 and 2.026 but not 3.019.

@PaoloBLEvo I did an excellent ride today thanks to Blevo but the battery on my BV6000 died just before I got home and I can't upload the file to strava or use the exported tax or gpx? unrecognised file type? file_tour.tcx.gz.tcx any ideas please?

 

[gaba]

Shouldn’t it be possible to revert to an earlier version of firmware? If someone has the earlier version on their bike, could one copy that version to be installed on another bike. Someone must know how to do this, correct?

 

[Robin Grant]

Can you make an Apple Watch version that displays battery percentage live?

Please send the tcx file to [email protected] and I fix it for you...

Hi Paolo!

Just for you to know. Content of Battery status page is loading very slow. And I can't get all the information to page. Every time some of the items are not loaded. I asked earlier about battery capacity, Now it shows 700/504. But I don't mind this battery status page. Bike monitoring is working without any problems. Great app!

I will check about the slow and wrong value..

 

[BobasV]

I have an extra battery located in the bottleneck holder. This gives me 252 Wh extra so the total is 504 + 252 = 756 Wh. Is it possible to change the capacity in the blevo app to 756?

May I have one question ? How is the extra battery connected to standard battery ? Thx.

The original cable that runs from the battery to the motor is replaced by a cable that runs from from both batteries to the motor.

Thank you for the answer. Where can I buy this cable or compoments to make it ? And what extra battery you use ? Thank you.

I don’t know where to buy the components because I bought it as a complete set. Their website is Levo Range Extender

Hey @PaoloBLEvo - do you have any plans to make an Apple Watch version of BLEvo that displays battery percentage?

Or even better, somehow add BLEvo battery percentage to the "Workourdoors" workout Apple Watch app

Sorry, but this functionality is not planned..

For those using an apple watch with blevo on the iphone how are you keeping the bpm on as mine switches from 0 to 61 and nothing else. I was advised that you have a heart rate app running in background but what do you use?

 

[PaoloBLEvo]

I just release the new version 3.4.2 of BLEvo for iOS.
These are the news:

- Now it is possible to start the ride without the bike connected to use the app with a different bike than the Levo / Kenevo
- Activity upload button on Strava active only at the end of the ride
- Separate voice messages in English and American
- Bugfix: Dedicated leg power setting for turbo mode
- Bugfix: Optimized GPS update
- Bugfix: Map orientation in driving direction

Please update it from iTunes
‎BLEvo - For Smart Turbo Levo

I downloaded gpx files to Blevo from my iPhone and can't get them to show up on the map. The map box is empty. These are the steps I'm taking to get there.
Bike monitor - add/del gpx on map - click checkbox on the appropriate gpx map.

Maybe the GPX is not valid for BLEvo.. Could you send it to [email protected]?
Thanks.

@PaoloBLEvo
I recently purchased BLEvo to use with my 2019 Kenevo Expert. What a difference it made using smart power mode. I did however burn through battery at a higher rate so I might need to tweak the settings slightly.

I have a question that you might be able to help me with. BLEvo offers me much more insight that Mission Control. The battery monitor is showing the battery capacity at 480wh and 95% healthy with only 12 charge cycles. Is that correct / expected to drop 5% health after only 12 charges? Mission control shows 100% health.
