8 years agoHi! Thanks for all your reviews that help me and others to get what is most suitable for us. In fact, I ride an “unlocked” Bosch engined bike by BMW. It is an older version, 2015, so Active Line with low torque. Specialised and Brose convince me to get this bike but you pointed out an important issue: the battery locking system. Since you have seen it in person, can you tell if this Hexlox locking system could work out for securing the battery?

8 years agoHi Vincenzo! The skewer is like a 15 mm thru-axle with the threading on the left side of the downtube. If you could find a bolt with a proprietary locking pattern vs. the standard hex that was the same length and diameter then yeah, I think it could work! I don’t have access to the bike at this moment so cannot say the exact length but I think you’re onto something with this idea. Also, I was trained by a Specialized rep on how to lock the bike with a u-lock in a way that it keeps the battery from being removed. Here’s a short video on that.

7 years agoHad this for about 2 weeks now. The thing is awesome getting to work and back. It makes the commute to work seem like a trail ride sometimes. I go about 22 miles round trip in trail mode and still have around 20-30 percent when I get home. The no display is really awesome and if you do want that option, just download the mission control app and it will give you the map, speed, battery, and motor out-put. Lots of other options as well. The dropper post is amazing when stopping at intersections. Over all, I am super happy with this bike. It has me looking at the clock at work because I can’t wait to ride it home! Choose this because my commute is not the best bike friendly route and this thing has no problem going into grass/dirt.

7 years agoNice! I’m so glad the bike is performing for you Jesus, I love this thing too… Sounds like it gets the job done and adds a splash of fun and interest to the day. That’s a big part of why I love bicycles, awesome!

7 years agoHi Johan, perhaps you could find someone who is trying to sell their used electric bike in the EBR Forums in the for sale section here.

7 years agoI test rode the women’s version of this bike at Cynergy Cycles in Santa Monica. I loved the color: glittery black with a splash of white! What a beauty. I took the bike out to test responsiveness, battery range and performance. It is a truly amazing piece of engineering and I enjoyed every minute of my ride. The Mission Control app from Specialized is really useful to adjust acceleration from start and other parameters at the beginning. However I would expect not to use it again after the first few adjustments. The biggest drawback of this bike for me is the lack of an integrated assist control on the handlebar. The garmin button has limitations in that it would not show me the current level of assist. On the other hand for those who want to conceal the motor there is nothing better than the Specialized Turbo Levo. Cynergy Cycles in Santa Monica has a great service shop, accessories and I highly recommend it.

7 years agoThanks for the feedback Flavia! Glad to hear you enjoyed the bike and also got a chance to experiment with the Mission Control smartphone application. It’s funny that you mention the lack of reachable buttons, to control assist. For me, after riding so many other ebikes, I did miss that… I feel that they could have done a tiny display and buttons to be “minimalist” but instead, you have to reach way down. Great points all around, thanks for sharing your insights :D

6 years agoThank you for the excellent review! I’m thinking of purchasing a 2018 model that is being cleared out right now but the store only has a M and XL left. I am just under 5 feet 10 inches so I was thinking large would be my appropriate size, however there are none left in stock. I see you rode a medium size LEVO COMP here. Do you think medium would be appropriate for people up to 5″10? Thanks!
