Thanks Stefan. There is a lot of climbing but the biggest climb is at the 100km mark (so near the end) and is an 8km (5 miles) 500m climb (1,600 ft). Makes it tricky

Just seeking advice on the best way to manage 2 RE batteries for a long ride with a fair bit of climbing coming up. The ride is 125 kms (77 miles) but with 2,750m of climbing (9,000 ft). I will have my internal battery (320 Whr, but now after 140 charge cycles actually 292 Whr at full capacity)...

Actually I'm riding in a similar 'race' in November too - ebikes allowed but can't 'win'. The distance is ok - 125kms (78 miles) but there is 2,700m (8,860 ft) of climbing. IME climbing is by far the biggest drain on the batteries. I don't think I could make it on just the internal + RE, but I...

Stefan, Creo SL Expert. Assistance modes set at Eco-40/40, Sport-60/60 and Turbo-100/100. As you know battery consumption varies enormously depending on climbing, headwind, speed and assistance level used. I've collected data on all 265 rides I've had on my Creo and when using both batteries...

Ben J - Did you find the "Auto-start" option? I can only see the "Auto-Pause" option with nothing about auto-start. When recording rides with the new SA app do you have to start recording manually or will it start recording automatically?

Thanks again - more useful information. MC actually tells me there have been 120 charging cycles, so that now makes complete sense with your explanation (I had thought that like with the odometer somehow the velociraptor device had changed the number). I haven't tried the 80% charging limit yet...

Thanks so much Calcoaster - that works perfectly well. Exactly what I was looking for - brilliant. Checking today, fully charged my internal battery is reading 293Whr, after 236 charge cycles. If it started at the advertised 320Whr - that's around 8% decrease over that time (around 16 months)...

I have had my Creo SL Expert for a bit over a year now - and it still remains one of the best bikes I've ever had. I charge the battery pretty well after every ride (range anxiety ...), so that's in excess of 200 charge cycles now. My question is how to measure the remaining total capacity of...

I'm not able to assist the OP but I just want to give my vote for the utility of the Varia radar light. I never ride without it and find it extremely useful - I feel certain having the radar has increased the safety of my rides. There are many times when you simply can't hear approaching...

Oh and btw, I've used the RE on around 100 rides and so far (touch wood), the cable is fine ...

Burning Matches, just to add to the other replies, on my Creo Expert (so carbon frame) the RE battery and holder is exactly seated the same as yours. I too always find the cable and plug fairly snug, but I presume it has been designed that way. And I agree with you that rotating the battery is...

I can't comment on the 540 or 840, but I use the 1030 plus with the Garmin IQ app "Ebike Field". For my Creo this shows both the power assist mode as well as the total battery level for the main battery and RE battery combined - as a percentage. As I always use both batteries being 'drained'...

Ken, I'm riding a Creo SL Expert. I've collected data on all of my rides so far (had it for 12 months, 7,000km (4,350 miles), 160 rides). I've certainly noticed that the most important determinant of how much battery I use (expressed in Whr) out of time, distance and climbing is most definitely...

Just by way of my set-up (in case it helps): I have my Garmin edge (1030+) connected to my Creo SL via Ant+ (I have the velociraptor, so don't want to connect via BT) and my phone (android) is connected to my Garmin Edge (and the Edge shows messages and chats on the screen of the device). My...

That's promising that you see that same information using the 1030+. How exactly do you 'see' the same detail? Would you mind explaining so I can try too?
