The two Creos are kept in the house, the Vados and Levos are in the garage. I’m not worried about them self combusting, but I monitor them closely when charging.

I would recommend a Specialized Vado. A used one if you’re trying to keep the costs down. It’s a quality all around pedal assist bike that works great on asphalt and dirt roads. Parts are readily available if needed. My wife and I have 1600 miles on each of ours and haven’t done anything but...

Aaaand you’ve got a solid border. I think I’ve said that before :)

My wife and I and several friends have done a couple overnight trips with our Vados. We charged at the outside outlet at the Catalina Airport and also in the hotel room in Santa Barbara. I think you are hearing about the “throttle” type e-bikes and not a pedal assist bike. No one likes the...

That’s great info, thank you.

I havent yet. Life has gotten in the way.

Yes, asking my Specialized LBS is on my list, I just thought I’d ask here first. There’s another LBS named Bicycle John’s that seems very squared away and I ride past that shop every time I go for a ride. I’ll stop in there and ask them.

Does anyone have a direction for me to start looking? I’ve looked on EBay but don’t want to end up with garbage. I also don’t want to overpay, when I can get a better price by shopping around. Anyone know what size I should be looking for?

Thanks guys. I was looking at the underside sensor of the Fit armband. Should that area go over the vein on the inside of my arm, under my elbow?

Anyone have any experience with one? I just bought one, paired it to my Bolt 2 and IPhone, but haven’t ridden with it yet. Friday is going to be the first time I use it. Any advice?

Hey Stefan thanks for being the Guinea pig. I was going to upgrade from my Bolt 2, glad I didn’t. I just bought a Tickr Fit from Wahoo, we’ll see how that works out. It’s supposed to sync with the Bolt 2.

How about something with a throttle and pedals so you can keep bike riding? I know guys, I know, but that’s my plan for when I can’t pedal much anymore. I love cycling too much to ever give it up.

You came here as a new member, looking for advice. Everyone has commented that they don’t think it’s a good idea for a 15 year old and that he might get hurt on it. From your responses, it doesn’t seem like you ever wanted advice. Im out.

Ummmm…

Hey Jeremy, the Speedplays are terrible on a dirt/road/gravel bike. If dirt gets stuck in the pocket in the bottom of your shoes, you’ll never be able to clip in unless you take your shoes off and clean it out. The best I’ve found for mtb and gravel bikes are the Eggbeaters. Even in the mud...
