Congratulations on the purchase of your new Specialized Turbo bicycle! Before we get you set up for your first ride, a few words about electric
bicycles. As the name suggests, and unlike regular bicycles, Specialized electric bicycles have very sophisticated and carefully engineered high-
precision electrical components, including a built-in custom motor drive unit, a high-performance battery integrated into the frame, sensors, one
or more display units, and wiring throughout to make sure everything is connected. You will also have a unique riding experience with added speed
and acceleration from the motor support. Because of this, you need to treat your electric bicycle differently from a regular bicycle and you need to
be careful not to damage electrical components. This means you should not expose any electrical components to water (e.g., do not pressure-wash
your bicycle), drop or otherwise damage your battery, touch any live components, or open up or otherwise tamper with electrical components. This
also means you should be mindful that your lithium-ion battery, when sufficiently charged, has enough energy stored to potentially start a fire.
Follow the instructions in this manual when it comes to charging, transporting, cleaning, or storing your battery.
Not following these instructions may have serious consequences and can result in a fire, which may injure you and other people. Be sure you read
this manual in its entirety and contact your local Rider Care team if you have any questions.
WARNING! Please read and familiarize yourself with the Important Safety Instructions pertaining to the risk of fire or electric shock in the
BATTERY AND CHARGER section of this User Manual before riding or servicing your bicycle.
WARNING! Be careful not to damage or expose electrical components to water. Do not pressure wash your battery, motor, or any other
electrical components. Damaging electrical components or exposing them to water may start a fire, resulting in serious injury or even death.
WARNING! Always be present when charging your battery, and disconnect it when it is fully charged. Do not leave your battery plugged in or let
it charge overnight. Immediately disconnect the battery from the charger when you encounter any problem during the charging process, e.g.,
when the charger or battery gets extremely hot or when the LED lights signal a problem. Failure to follow this warning can start a fire which
can result in serious injury or even death.
The term “battery” used in this user manual refers to all original Turbo batteries.
