I see that Specialized offers a throttle kit for their Global cargo bike. Does anyone know if this could be used on a Turbo Levo?
Are the motors, control, wiring similar enough to where it could work?
 
Specialized uses Brose motors which are in a proprietary format. The turbo motors don't seem to be the same as the Globe Hauler. It is hard to find any information at all about their interface. I'm afraid you are well outside the DIY format. They don't want you hacking or changing anything. You'd probably be better off just getting a second, cheaper bike that has an open format where you are allowed to work on it yourself.
 
Thank you. I did see (later) that the Global series uses a hub motor, vs a mid drive motor so the motors are definitely different. Interesting to learn that the motors are made (for Specialized) by Brose.
