MBevo
for Specialized Turbo Levo
and Kenevo
with BLEvo app or Garmin device
Ausgabe: A
Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing our product! Please read the instructions
carefully before using the device and keep them in a safe place.
If the device is passed on, these instructions must also be handed over.
The manufacturer assumes no liability if the information in this manual is
not observed.
In the context of further development, we reserve the right to change the
product, packaging or description documents at any time.
Features:
• Assistance remains active up to 50 km/h or even up to 75 km/h
• Compatible with BLEvo app: displays the real speed and distance
over 25 km/h too. MBevo divides the speed by 2 or 3 and the BLEvo
multiples back it to real speed. Therefore, the speed limit will be 50
km/h if the speed divider is 2, and 75 km/h if it is 3.
• Compatible with Garmin devices: The actual wheel circumference
must be divided by 2 or 3 and set it in Garmin.
• Supports the walking mode at 5-6 km/h. MBevo doesn’t divide the
speed under 6 km/h, therefore the motor will keep walking speed,
bike will not run away.
• Works in all type of assistance mode, eco, trail, turbo too, with any
percent value.
• Simple, reliable electronical device, it doesn’t fail and it is
independent from engine firmware version
• Can be installed easy, no need to disassemble the crank arm, just
unscrew the 4 screws, and plug it.
—1— Edition: A
• Programmable, there are 5 modes of operation from which you can
choose and preset:
1. speed limit is the factory setting, tuning is off
2. speed limit is 50 km/h, tuning is always on (factory setting
of MBevo)
3. speed limit is 50 km/h and tuning is on if the wheel magnet
over the sensor when you turn on the bike
4. speed limit is 75 km/h, tuning is always on
5. speed limit is 75 km/h and tuning is on if the wheel magnet
is over the sensor when you turn on the bike
• Works well in both "walking" and normal modes, even if the wheel
circumference value set in the engine is not real, only the speed
limits will be a few km/h higher and the actual wheel circumference
value must be entered in BLEvo. (Many people set it to the minimum
of 2000 mm in the service so that, for example, if a 27.5" wheel is
placed on the bike, do not disable it at 23 km/h).
• Cheaper than other electronical tuning and it has support and help.
Compatible racing ebikes:
• Specialized Levo FSR: all 2018/2019/2020/2021
• Specialized Kenevo: 2018 only the Expert /2019 only the Expert
/2020 all (Kenevo Expert, Kenevo Comp) /2021 all (Kenevo Expert,
Kenevo Comp)
• Specialized Levo Hardtail Comp: 2019-2021
—2— Edition: A
Compatible motor firmwares:
• Brose Drive-S (Specialized 1.3) up to V 7.1.1
• Brose Drive-S Mag (Specialized 2.1) up to V 7.4.1
Compatible displays:
• Smartphone with BLEvo application
• Garmin Edge®, Forerunner®, fēnix® 5
The operation of the MBevo tuning is guaranteed for specified ebike
models and for that firmware versions which released up to the date of
purchase of the tuning itself. If the ebike is subsequently updated with
firmware for which the MBevo tuning has not been designed, you may find
that your bike will fail, will get disabled, or just the tuning will not work.
The manufacturer and distributor of this ebike tuning declines any
responsibility for any anomalies caused by the anti-tuning defenses that
the engine manufacturers could activate in the future by new
firmware/engine/bike. Before updating your engine, it is necessary to
check the compatibility with your MBevo tuning, so in this case, contact
us.
—3— Edition: A
Installation
In order to determine the current speed, the e-bike has a sensor that uses a
magnet to receive impulses per wheel revolution. This sensor is located on the left
side at the end of rear fork and the magnet is on the brake disc of the rear wheel.
The MBevo must be inserted between the motor and the speed sensor.
You perform the installation indoors, where the floor is smooth and clean and
empty, as smaller parts can easily fall off and be lost. Do not mount on
grassy, sandy ground! The bike should be cleaned and dried before you begin
the installation!
Installation using a Turbo Levo FSR is shown below:

3. Step: Test
• Plug in the battery, turn on the Levo ebike, and smartphone with BLEvo app,
then start a ride on BLEvo, turn the rear wheel slowly, accelerating and you
can see the correct speed as usual under 5 km/h. This is the walking speed
range and the tuning is not active.

• In order for BLEvo to display the correct cycling speed, the multiplier must be
set in the BLEvo application to multiply by 2 the divided speed
—9— Edition: A• Set the speed multiplier to 2x on the "Bike Setup" page in the BLEvo

• You may notice that below 6 km/h the displayed speed will be double on BLEvo,
but this is not important as such a low speed only occurs in walking mode.
When you ride a bike and start, your speed will immediately be higher than
5km/h, so you will always see the correct value
— 10 — Edition: A4. Step: Assembly
• Arrange the cables in the house
• Turn back the motor cover to the right position:
• Turn it to right and hook the right edge tab first
• then turn it left and hook in the tabs on the left as well

Congratulations, the installation is complete!
— 11 — Edition: AOperating modes
You can choose between the following operating modes:
1. Tuning permanently deactivated, speed limit is 25 km/h → BLEvo multiplier must be 1x
2. Tuning according to switch-on condition, speed limit is 50 km/h → BLEvo multiplier must be 2x
3. Tuning permanently activated, speed limit is 50 km/h → BLEvo multiplier must be 2x
(this is the factory setting of MBevo)
4. Tuning according to switch-on condition, speed limit is 75 km/h → BLEvo multiplier must be 3x
5. Tuning permanently activated, speed limit is 75 km/h → BLEvo multiplier must be 3x
Tuning permanently deactivated
No lifting of the speed limit. Support up to 25km/h, The actual speed driven
corresponds to the displayed speed, no division, therefore the BLEvo speed multiplier
must be 1x on the "Bike Setup" page in the BLEvo.
Tuning permanently activated
In these operating modes, the speed limit is permanently lifted to 50 km/h or 75
km/h. The actual speed is divided by 2 or 3 then it is multiplied back by BLEvo for
displaying real speed.
Tuning according to the switch-on condition
To activate the tuning in case of these modes, the magnet must be in front of the
sensor for at least 4 seconds before the system starts. Otherwise the tuning is
deactivated for the duration of this journey. After starting the system with the
magnet in front of the sensor, the speed limit is lifted to 50 km/h or 75 km/h until
the system is turned off. The actual speed is divided by 2 or 3 then it is multiplied
back by BLEvo for displaying real speed.
— 12 — Ausgabe: AReprogramming the operation mode
It is optional. The factory setting of MBevo is speed limit = 50 km/h and tuning is
always on. But you can choose from operation modes and preset it.
Reprogramming is possible by moving the wheel magnet in front of the sensor. The
wheel magnet is on the rear brake disc. The sensor is at the end of the rear fork. It
is enough to move the wheel a quarter turn forward and back. To always find the
magnet back to the sensor, hold the wheel at the base of the rear fork when the
magnet is in front of the sensor. So when we turn a quarter turn, we turn it back
until we have our hand on the fork again. A speed display is required for
reprogramming. e.g. BLEvo app, Garmin device or maybe Mission Controll app.
Follow the sequence below to enter the programming function:
• Turn on the ebike
• Start the BLEvo app on the phone, connect to the bike
• On BLEvo app select the „Bike Setup” menuitem and set
the „Speed x” parameter to 1.0 and set the „Real wheel”
parameter to 2100 mm, as this is the smallest value
that can be entered in the blevo app.
• Select the „Bike Monitor” menuitem on the BLEvo app
and Start a ride
• Turn off the ebike
— 13 — Ausgabe: A• Rotate the rear wheel so that the magnet on the
brake disc is above the sensor at the end of the fork
• Wait 15-20 seconds before turning ebike back on.
• Turn on the ebike
• After beep sound of turning on wait until the
assistance level is shown on BLEvo display. This time
is approx. 3.5 sec.
• When the assistance level is shown on BLEvo display
move the magnet away from the sensor by turning the
wheel a quarter turn
• But as soon as you turn it, immediately turn the
magnet back over the sensor from where you started
the turning first
— 14 — Ausgabe: A• Wait approx. 3 sec and move the magnet away from
the sensor again by turning the wheel a quarter turn
• A speed value will be shown. If the actual operation
mode setting is the factory setting this speed value is
7…8 km/h.
• Each operating mode has a speed value that you can
select to activate the mode:
1. Permanently deactivated, speed limit is 25 → 21…23 km/h
2.Switch-on condition, speed limit is 50 → 10...12 km/h
3.Permanently activated, speed limit is 50 → 7...8 km/h
4.Switch-on condition, speed limit is 75 → 5...6 km/h
5.Permanently activated, speed limit is 75 → 4...5 km/h
These speed values may differ by 1..2 km/h on your
bike, these are for information only!
• To switch to another mode, the magnet must be
turned to front of the sensor.
• Turn the magnet back over the sensor from where
you started the turning first
• 5…6 km/h speed value will be shown (in case of
factory setting)
• If you want the „4. Switch-on condition, speed limit
is 75” mode wait here more than 3 sec., until 0.0
km/h will be shown and the settings will be saved.
• If you want to switch to next mode move the magnet
away from the sensor again by turning the wheel a
quarter turn within 3 seconds. (See next page!)
— 15 — Ausgabe: A• Within 3 seconds move the magnet away from the
sensor again by turning the wheel a quarter turn and
turn the magnet back over the sensor
• 4...5 km/h speed value will be shown
• If you want the „5. Permanently activated, speed
limit is 75” mode wait here until 0.0 km/h will be
shown and the settings will be saved.
• Within 3 seconds move the magnet away from the
sensor again by turning the wheel a quarter turn and
turn the magnet back over the sensor
• 21…23 km/h speed value will be shown
• If you want the „1. Permanently deactivated, speed
limit is 25” mode wait here until 0.0 km/h will be
shown and the settings will be saved.
• Within 3 seconds move the magnet away from the
sensor again by turning the wheel a quarter turn and
turn the magnet back over the sensor
• 10...12 km/h speed value will be shown
• If you want the „2. Switch-on condition, speed limit
is 50” mode wait here until 0.0 km/h will be shown
and the settings will be saved.
• Within 3 seconds move the magnet away from the
sensor again by turning the wheel a quarter turn and
turn the magnet back over the sensor
• 7…8 km/h speed value will be shown again
• If you want the „3. Permanently activated, speed
limit is 50” mode wait here until 0.0 km/h will be
shown and the settings will be saved.
• Turn off the ebike then turn on.
• On BLEvo app select the „Bike Setup” menuitem and
set the „Speed x” parameter to 2.0 in case of 50
km/h limit or 3.0 in case of 75 km/h and set back
the „Real wheel” parameter to real wheel
circumference of your ebike.
