Turbo limp mode. Disable it?

[CourtIOW]

Afternoon all. Just done the IOW 7hills on my 2019 turbo levo comp, all was going to plan, with mainly trail, then eco on couple of flat ish bits and turbo for steep bits, the just at end of last climb (luckily near end of climb and not at the bottom), bike seemed to loose nearly all power, and go to limp mode, battery light went to 1 bar red, checked on mission control and showed 9%.
Still had about 5 miles left, which I know I should have been good for in eco, but instead had a tough last few miles.

If there anyway to stop it going into low power assist once it goes (by the looks of it ) under 10% left? I would rather manage myself until nothing left and it stops completely.

Just wandering...
Thanks
Paul

There is no official way to disable this. Also no point of doing this as it could make a great negative impact on the battery life ...

Ok thanks

Ok thanks

The best option is to use the mission control app to limit your power over the known distance and height. In theory it should increase the assistance on the climbs, but you can override with turbo. Specify 10%battery left at the end and you shouldn't enter the pain zone.

Must admit, not played with the smart mode yet. ?

It seems to work pretty well, just keep an eye on your phones battery level - I've had mine go flat a couple of times and not sure if that's just because of my phone or something else .

same thing happened to me at beast of brenin , used too much at beginning cause im old and unfit , last 2 miles with hardly any assistance even in turbo, got back at 4%

 

[CourtIOW]

Do we know what it cuts back to?
Cant find anything on it. Seemed to be next to no assist.

I'm sure it starts at 20% then progressively goes more.

Manual says 15%:

Unfortunately it seems to go to limp mode when you choose to use up the Extender first. So even if you have 100% of your main battery ready to go, it will limp for quite a while. I turned off the bike and reset the battery usage preference to continue. Otherwise, it was zero support even with one green bar showing on the extender and full blue on the main.
