Hello,
I have just bought a used 2019 Turbo Levo FSR, installed Mission Control app, and this is what I can see for the Motor and Display.
I have looked everywhere for options I have to unlock full speed of this bike, but in all posts all versions are different than this.
I am in Morocco, so no access to a Specialized Retailer to update anything, the seller says he can use a speedbox to unlock the bike, but wanted to know if Blevo option is better for my situation.
Thank you

You can't unlock the speed with BLEvo.. but you can buy something like Levociraptor.

Thank you for the reply.
Awesome work you put on the app man.
Unfortunately, I have no access to a Levociraptor.
I found a guy who can put a different "device" called speed box, any idea how it will work and if I can still get Blevo and use it.
Thank you.

I have the same bike.First of all you should make sure your bike was originally set by a Specialized dealer to American spec which is 20mph (32km/h) limit and not the EU spec of 25km/h. Secondly, I understand that from 2019 onwards the bikes are locked by Specialized so that BLevo can no longer reset the in-built speed limits and, even if you could do it, it is not recommended as it would invalidate the manufacturer's warranty of 4 years on motor and battery. You might need this - I have a 2019 Turbo Levo Expert and I am on my 4th motor already! (All replaced free under warranty).
I have heard of people maxing out the wheel circumference setting to get more speed, but then I assume that not only your speed but your distance readings would be wrong too. Also, it is already a 29er, so I imagine that pretending you have bigger tyres won't make too much difference - certainly not an extra 25% speed. Maybe someone else who as tried this can comment?
I have found that the best solution is to ride with BLevo in Heart Rate mode. This adjusts the boost automatically when in Eco or Trail (but not in Turbo) to try to keep your Heart Rate in your selected range, and critically, it does not not shut off the power "hard" at 32km/h but tapers it. So when I want max speed, I ride in Heart Rate mode but select Turbo (100% boost) so that it does not vary the power but it DOES still taper gradually down from 32km/h until it gets to zero boost at about 38Km/h (almost 24mph). I find this significantly better than a hard stop at 32km/h.

Thank you for you reply.
The bike I have was originally purchased in England, wheel circumference is at 2000 mm on Mission Control app, I feel like the assistance stops at 27-28 km/h (From Mission Control readings).
I really don't care about the warranty, I am in Morocco and have no access to any Specialized Dealership, so motor replacement is not even an option for me.
I am looking at options to order a Levociraptor, or I will do some more research about this "Speedbox" hack, I got a reply from their sales team and was told that it was compatible with this specific bike/firmware I have.

You can buy from here...

Yeah, found this official link in one of your posts, but international shipping to Morocco is a nightmare.
I will try to contact them, see what they suggest.
Thank you for your reaction Paolo, you are the man, really respect your work and appreciate the implication with users.

hello, i have been cycling for about 40 years and am starting to think about an E-mtb for that.
I often cycle a total of 65km on the mtb.
This loop consists of approximately 40km of road and 25km of forest.
For the 40km road, the Levo could be slightly faster than the 25 km / h.
I am orienting myself for a Levo and have a few questions:
- can any Levo be set to American settings?
- can every dealer do this?
- Can the wheel circumference still be changed (even with new LEVs)?
thanks for the comments!

Yes you can. You can set miles and mph
CITAZIONE - can every dealer do this?
What you mean?

No, you can't with BLEvo.. you need something like Levociraptor

I mean, can the dealer put the bike on american settings. and does it mean if i put the bike on miles it puts 20 MPH?
Can't the dealer change the wheel size too?
I think 25 km / h is really too slow on the road. 30 km / h is fine. If I can achieve this without software adjustments from the outside, I also have less warranty problems if something breaks.
thank you in advance for your response and sorry for my english ...

For sure the dealer can change the wheel size..
I don't know if the dealer can change the setup for US law..
