This document provides supplementary information for the assembly and use of Specialized Turbo/Turbo SL bicycles, particularly for "Ship to Home" deliveries. It is intended to be used in conjunction with the main Assembly Guide and User Manual provided with the bike.

The Specialized Turbo/Turbo SL bicycles feature an electric motor that provides assistance. The motor support activates as soon as the cranks are rotated and torque is detected, provided the system is powered on. This activation can occur in various scenarios, including active riding, when the bicycle is in a work stand, flipped upside down with cranks turning, or when walking alongside and pushing the bicycle.
Usage Feature: The motor provides assistance based on crank rotation and torque detection, enhancing the riding experience.
Safety Feature: A critical warning is issued regarding unintentional motor engagement. Users are advised to always turn off the battery when motor assist is not desired, especially when working on the bicycle or when there's a risk of accidental crank rotation. This prevents potential injury or damage from unexpected motor activation.
