Home › Display settings › Specialized Turbo (TCU, TCD, Mastermind TCU/TCD) + Mission Control / Specialized app › Specialized Turbo: walk assist
Use walk assist on a Specialized Turbo (Levo, Vado, Como, Tero) with the handlebar remote
The remote has a dedicated walk button (walking figure). Hold it and the motor pushes at up to 6 km/h; on Mastermind bikes the display shows WALK while active.
Step by step
- Stop and switch the bike on. Select any mode except OFF.
- Press and hold the walk button on the remote. The motor starts after about a second.
- Keep it held while walking; release to stop.
- Bikes with the 2.0 remote (2022+): a short press of walk arms it and holding + pushes; if nothing happens, try that.
Tip: Low gear first; on a Levo the push is far stronger in the lowest gear.
Can't find it?
No walk button on the remote: some Vado/Como remotes map walk to a long press of -. Check the app's [Controls] page for the mapping on your bike.

Still stuck? Take a photo of the display and show it to a local e-bike workshop. Bring the bike's system name (e.g. Bosch Performance Line CX) and the exact code; that saves diagnostic time and money.
