Bike is getting mushy

[Brad Crouch]

I have a 5 year old Specilized Creo SL with more than 12,000 miles. Three times now the peddles get what can be described as mushy. In turbo or sport mode while climbing it feels like it is skipping and losing power. In the past I turned the motor off and it was fine. After a while turning the motor back on worked. Today, on a short ride, it happened and I went to eco mode and it stopped. My question: is the motor failing?

need a new belt?

 

[Brad Crouch]

Is that internal inside the motor housing?

Yes I think yours has a belt but wait till others who know more about it.

Creo SL has internal motor gears, no drive belt.
Brad, my Vado SL is also 5 years old and has over 13,200 miles on the odometer. No issues so far. Perhaps it is not the motor but the electronics are failing? When did you replace the TCU coin battery for the last time?

(foofer, please do not speculate about a system you are not familiar with, thank you).
