WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY

Bluetooth/ANT+ Functionality Overview

Bluetooth (BLE)ANT+
Connect to Mission Control
Connect heart rate belts (either through Mission Control or through display itself)
Connect to the motor sensors for speed, rider power and cadence
Connect to heart rate belts (through display itself)
Connect to display add-ons, e.g. the TCD

General notes on ANT+ connectivity

All Turbo motors feature sensors for Speed, Rider Power and Cadence. The sensor data can be received via the ANT+ modules of the bike. Basically, all ANT+ devices can connect to these sensors. Additionally, many bicycle-specific GPS devices feature e-bike specific protocols, often called LEV protocol (Light Electric Vehicle) to simplify sensor connection and to show specific display screens for e-bike data.

How to connect to LEV sensors in ANT device

In the ANT+ device, search for sensors and connect to speed, (rider) power and cadence sensor of the Turbo to see the data on the device. Usually, data fields can be customized.

Garmin devices:  LEV data fields through Garmin Connect IQ

Garmin GPS devices that are capable of Connect IQ offer dedicated data fields to display e-bike data. Note: It’s a known issue on current Garmin devices that with paired LEV sensors, none of the Connect IQ data fields will find the bike.

Make sure your device is not paired to the Turbo sensors before setting up the data field. Here are two options we recommend:

  • Install the ‘Ebike Field’ by Jan Capek (easier to install/connect than option b.)
  • Install the ‘Turbo Levo Data Field’ on your Garmin. Then activate the new data field and connect your Turbo to it

Compatibility Overview

With the exception of Levo/Kenevo Gen1, all wireless connectivity options work via the bike display.
