Which computer for the Turbo Levo?

[Stumpy]

Garmin 520 or Wahoo Bolt? - that's the question....

I've read good things about both and there is little to choose between the two - I've seen a few posts on the forum about both but again, nothing conclusive.

So... I thought I'd ask you guys for your real life experiences and recommendations!

I've only used the Wahoo bolt, but I purchased it for its neat, small size, easy to use software and excellent reviews. I do hope that they add more Levo functionality and @Cyclejunkie has contacted them, they've pretty much said that Levo / Ebike support is in their roadmap.

Go all in , you won't go wrong with the Edge 1030... I had the Edge 520 and is too small the screen, much happier with 1030 (Garmin as really nice apps, like specialized levo).
If you don't want to spend that much, go with with the Bolt, has great visibility, I had an ELEMNT and was a good computer.

Great info and very much appreciate the offer of further help! - Like you, I'm also keen to see how Wahoo develop the product to get the most out of the Levo motor.

Wahoo winning 2-1 at the moment!

@Rob Hancill & @Cyclejunkie Just received my 2018 Turbo Levo S-Works this week. I bought a Wahoo Bolt as my ride computer. Will you pls help me understand which, if any, data I can pull from the Levo to the Bolt. I thought I read that Battery level was avail... Also, if you can point me to more info or another thread regarding getting this info on the bolt display (custom page?), it would be much appreciated. I may also use my iPhone running the Mission Control app, just not sure if I will keep it in my pocket or mounted.

I have been reading all the posts as I can, and i want to thank you Rob for setting up this forum. Hopefully I will be able to contribute more in the future.

Thanks! Jay

Hi jay at the moment you can only get the battery status on the bolt by using the FAKE channel on the Mission Control App then use the cadence option on the wahoo app then your get the read out of battery status on the bolt sounds complicated but pretty easy when your actually doing it @Rob Hancill may explain it better.
I have emailed wahoo & got a reply from them that there’s a firmware update in the pipe line so the Levo will pair completely with the bolt but no time scale....watch this space....happy riding mate.....if you need anymore help just post here & if I can help no problem ????

Garmin 1030. I upgraded from garmin 1000. 1030 is exspencive. But worth the money. Maps are great.

Quite happy with my little 520 and it's integration with the 2018 levo. If I had an earlier Levo, without the bar control, I would have gone the 820 for the touch screen and the mode changing feature.

Hi all, apologies for digging up an old thread but interested in others experience and views on this. I'm joining the Levo family shortly and looking at display options. I'm leaning towards a Garmin edge 130, I like the compact size and data collection potential (I actually have no issues with the Specialized display from what I can tell, but figure the ability to record data instead of just seeing it in real time makes sense) It seems from digging around here that running @JanCapek data field will make the edge 130 a handy, in-ride display of essential E bike info and other bits and pieces as required. Any edge 130 users want to give any thoughts? Are you using the MTB kit with the mount? Using the remote or unnecessary clutter on the bars? Other options preferred? Anyone using a lezyne super gps with Levo? I can't seem to find any info on Levo connectivity with battery/support level which makes me think that's not an option.

Any advice appreciated, thank you all
