On my normal 40+ mile (+3500ft) loop I recently found I get better performance and range using both at the same time. When the first RE is low I swap the 2nd one. I was surprised at first but as Stefan pointed out, the RE goes into low power mode right when you need it. There's one section...

Congrats. I'm waiting for my LBS to get the Expert in. Deciding if I want to trade my drop bar Vado SL or keep as a 2nd ebike

Mine would come loose every few hundred miles. I ended up using blue threadlocker. However, My SL spends 99% of its life on trails and service roads. Now if I can figure out a way to keep those futureshock screws from backing out, I'd be happy.

Don't worry, as soon as you buy the 1.2 SL. Specialized will release the 1.3 6 months later. 😂

I picked this up for my 2nd set of wheels without issue...

Now the question is, if the new motor will fit in a Gen 1 bike :) and could an LBS get their hands on one to purchase. Assuming the BMS is all the same. Might need a new TCU though? Knowing Specialized, they probably moved the motor mount 6mm just to prevent this line of thinking :D

According to him, the Rep said sometime in May I was debating getting a Tero X 6 as a 2nd bike, but I may trade up to the SL instead. I'm curious to see what the 50nm motor feels like

I was at my LBS and tech mentioned the Turbo Vado SL will get the new motor as well. We shall see 😁

You’re exactly correct on most bars being too wide, on my tri bike I run 40cm to get nice and tucked in. This also reminds me I need to swap my crank arms on the SL to 165

It definitely takes some getting used to, but I think the mostly depends on if you ride drop bars often. Redshift also makes some 53cm bars which look and feel huge in person. Those Venturemax bars are nice as well.

Thank you, I have a B17 but decided to go with the C17 Cambium since I plan to use this bike more for bike packing.

If you look at the pic with the handlebar, you can see I ziptied it to the side of the stem. It actually, worked out okay there. Once I'm satisfied with the location, I'll use some 3M VHB

Thank You, I have a new brooks saddle should match great but I, not ready to go through the break in process yet lol. Sadly I needed to replace the calipers since the tekro ones are mineral based and sram are DOT 5.1

This project has been on my bucket list for quite some time now. I finally converted my SL 5.0 to a drop bar. I went with SRAM Rival AXS and a AXS GX Rear Derailleur (mullet setup). For the bars I went with REDSHIFT's Kitchen sink and their ergo grips. It was a fairly straightforward process; I...

Noticed this as well on a few rides. Interestingly my Edge 530 tells me exactly when I will get full assist back once the extender is depleted. On my garmin if the ebike battery says 35% but the bike reports 42, then my assist will be limited until the bike reports 35%. At that point I take off...
