Your best bet for the terrain around the Peak District is to change the gearing ie chainring and wider range cassette that way you will be able to spin the cranks a bit better while climbing.

I'm using a 38 chainring on my Creo mk1 for the hills you are talking about around Macclesfield and it's still a struggle sometimes especially around Macclesfield Forest and the Goyt Valley ( Pyms Chair) when I change Cassettes at the end of the year I will probably go 11/46 which should help.

Was it Standing Stones you were going up?

As for value to the conversation owners should be made aware that your product renders their bike illegal in the UK, FACT e-bike limit is 15.5MPH .

What actual proof do you need, police in the UK are crushing illegal e- bikes look in the papers or on the news if you don't believe as for the Specialized claim my best friend has a Specialized dealership and they can tell when they plug in to the tcu. As for accusing me of being a troll grow...

Warranty will be void by fitting this device as its detectable by Specialized, also the bike would now be considered illegal and open to confiscation by the authorities if used on the public highway.

I see the village is still missing it's idiot...

You're right we aren't far apart as I'm in Macclesfield.

Hi and welcome to another UK member, like yourself I to have heart problems ( 4 stents) I bought a Specialized Creo in 2020 (same motor) and it has been fantastic, I would have bought a Vado but there were non available at the time so I just did a flat bar conversion. Mine has never let me down...

Marts, I think at your age and fitness you would be absolutely fine with a Vado SL, I have a flat bar Creo which is basically the same just carbon frame but same engine and battery, I have had it just over 4 yrs and regularly do 40 mile 4500 ft rides around the Peak District which has some...

Just do a flat bar conversion.

Yes Vado assist selector on mine and XT brake levers which work perfectly with grx calipers. I have just converted a Pinarello to flat bar as well, I just find lightweight nimble short wheel based bikes so much better to ride.

Just do a flat bar conversion like I did on my mark 1 Creo.

Possibly so, either way safe riding.

Well I have just charged back to 100% from 80% and it didn't register a charge on my Mk1 Creo and a friend on a full power Levo has done the same and it didn't register a charge, like you say just our experiences.
