    New type Ebike lock...

    @Wetstuff, the REMINDER that the rotor lock is intalled/present on your trike is built-in...the lock's alarm which you deactivated (by removing batteries). I used a rotor lock on my motorcycle, and I used the reminder cable, attached next to the engine Starter/Kill Switch, so it was difficult to...

    Bike Hauler

    Should be no problem...If you do not have a passenger in front, slide that seat as forward as possible. Rear wheel towards passenger seat will give you a diagonal position for the bike. I don't have a Rav4, but my midsized SUV has slightly shorter cargo area and I can load my Creo with both...

    2026 - Our Rides in Words, Photos, Maps and Videos

    I rarely see night rides on this forum. I am sure there are many who do. I had too much energy the other night, so I grabbed a couple of lights and headed out. Outbound light on the helmet, a cat eye AMPP on the bars since it was available, my default see-me Ravemen light. On the rear: Varia...

    Great ride and photos @stompandgo. I would love to ride in New England, MA, VT and RI! I grew up in NYS Capital Region, but didn't not really ride much as a youth. I did minor rides on my 12 speed Nishiki. After college, I emigrated to California 30 yrs ago. But I really want to ride in NE.

    2026 - Our Rides in Words, Photos, Maps and Videos

    Yesterday, I headed to one my favorite local areas to road ride…Coastal San Mateo County, near Pescadero. I love the rolling farm roads in this area. I wanted a mellow ride. But there is a bit of elevation, so I used the Creo. I have ridden these same roads on my manual bikes many times. I...

    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    Jeremy, yep Old Railroad Grade is bumpy! and I already had a slightly sprained wrist. The Future Shock only helps so much. I too first rode it on a rigid...mine was a 1991 Stumpjumper. Back then 1.95" tires where standard so that is only 50mm. and with tubes. This morning I recall the many...

    This week is my 52nd consecutive week of riding, which is my longest streak on Strava. I purchased my Creo June 2025, It has definitely increased my riding frequency and mileage. I also ride two other bikes (non-eBikes). Today, I met a friend who was visiting Marin. We rode up Mount Tamalpais...

    When cycling, do you like listening to music?

    I know I am reviving a Zombie thread. But c'mon...good music and bikes!! I am not on my bike now. But I am totally enjoying Beth Orton's Central Reservations album. I just learned that David Roback from Mazzy Star produced and mixed some of Beth's music. I am so fortunate...my friend, who...

    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    Yeah, I felt great afterwards, that is why I love the Creo! Beautiful view you have on that hill at least!! You had a great elevation ratio on the ride! I am similar to you, I have mostly solid jerseys, and have zero team or sponsor jerseys. I like high visibility orange or red for road...

    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    ^^ That is a good question. there is always road work on these roads, so maybe they have someway of communicating that? I am clueless on that topic!

    I had planned on riding either my MTB or gravel bike today for about a 1.5 hour ride, but I was so wiped out and dragging in the morning I had to go to the Creo. Last night, I rode a short 30 minute ride on the Creo. But the day before, I rode a spirited ride - a combined bike trail and MTB...

    ride.specialized website no longer available

    I use the Specialized app with my Creo 2, as it was the app they showed me when I picked up my bike. Then, I learned about the Ride app here on EBR. I liked the way the Ride app presented the rider power output, assist mode zones, and heart rate in charts. I never knew there was a website...

    Thorn Season

    @PedalUma just letting you know we are listening… On my ride today, I stopped on Sheep Camp trail to lower my tire pressure slightly, after riding all pavement prior, and when l looked down I saw the thorns. Haha. I never knew all of the various types, so I appreciate your post. Yep, we have...
