What Is the Turbo System Lock and How to Use It on a MasterMind TCD | Specialized Turbo E-bikes

The Turbo System Lock works with the Mission Control app to disable the motor of your e-bike, rendering the Turbo useless for any would-be thieves. Nobody can turn the motor back on without your personalized pin.

The system lock is available on all Specialized Turbo bikes with a MasterMind Turbo Connect Display (TCD). Bikes with a TCD are the Turbo Tero and gen. 2 Vado and Como.

Please Specialized add some features:
- Lock without app (as unlocking is also possible without)
- Add a bike to multiple accounts (bikes shared within a family) e.g. by authorizing this from the main account. That would also be used to prevent pairing with someone elses bike
- auto-unlock when connected / auto-lock when disconnected (Bosch)
- provide a widget to lock/unlock

I have the feeling during development you had in mind that people go on longer rides and only lock the bike every now and then.
Using a Vado or Como in town during daily live is different. I need to lock and unlock the bike several times when going from store to store etc. Locking and unlocking should be as efficient as possible.
Bosch has clearly the better system for such use cases at the moment.

Very disappointing that it can still be pedaled. And using it is too complicated. It should lock automatically when turned off, and could be opened with NFC chip or something. And is the alarm really coming only from the screen? But the screen you have to take with you, otherwise it will be stolen?

[benjijasik]

when will you guys add a physical lock so the bike couldn't be used at all and what about GPS tracking with celluar to get the bike back in case stolen? Or a nice hidden place to stick an AirTag would be great too

[acdc]

Will you guys make this feature available for previous generations? Without the mastermind Tcu?

Hi I’ve activated the lock but the alarm doesn’t come on. How do you trigger the alarm? I would like to test it to see what it sounds like and see how loud it is. Thanks

Can the bike be locked without using the Mission Control app?

hello friends i have a 2021 turbo levo 29 alloy and did the whole registration and such at the bike store and have ridden twice on it. but on the mission control app i still can't find the lock feature, is it on some models only?

HI, I have one question: how long lasts the battery btw. how much the battery drains from the lock function? Are there some eperiences (e.g. 100% Battery / 710 Wh = lasts 14 Days for the Lock function). Because the bike may stood some days in the cellar, and it would´t be a good surprise when the battery is empty.

Is this going to be available for the Turbo Levo TCU

[mrhlynnu]

When in the 2022 Vado and Como going to be available in North America?

What does the alarm do? Does it make noise or just scold you on the screen? Does it notify you via the phone app if the alarm goes off?

I have a Turbo Vado SL 5 that came with a TCD . It was purchased new in July this year (2021) Can I retrofit this system to my bike?

[sarahrose]

I have the Como 3.0 2022, and I can tell you this is NOT available on my husband has a COMO 4.0 2022 and he doesn't have this locking/alarm option either. Bike dealer told us the locking system only available on Como 5.0

Since yesterday the turbo lock via the app no longer works.

Every time i want to lock the bike I get the following message:

• Something went wrong, please try again later.



The bicycle is connected to the app, because I can, for example, request how many km I have ridden with the bicycle..



I have already tried the following:

• Remove the battery from the bicycle.

• Removing the bicycle from the app and then adding the bicycle to the app.



However, this does not solve the problem.

Bike type: Specialized Vado 5.0 IGH
Could you please be so kind to inform me how i can solve this problem?

[DaftAllison]

I have a 2021 Turbo Levo Comp. It is possible to engage the lock system from Mission Control App? Thank you!

[smLaitela]

No auto lock/unlock when you leave or approach the bike?

[jjwhyte]

What type/brand of physical lock is shown at 2:38? Looking forward to getting my Tero 3.0 next month! Thanks for this helpful video series.

[robertcameronjones]

A bit annoying that I registered the bike, but still need to upload proof of purchase. I hope you know who the bike belongs to.

[garethgriffith]

Can this be bought and fitted to Vado SL 4 bike?

[arcticnoodle]

I have just brought a turbo levo 2022 but when I go into the mission control app it’s not giving me the option to lock/disable the bike. I’ve registered to my account but nothing seems to help. I do also have registered on the app a turbo levo 2021. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
