My reasoning to buy two extenders is simple - I need them for my trip to Italy next year. I'll have to remove the main battery in my Creo (320 WH, not allowed to check a battery that large), and instead carry on two 160 WH batteries (the maximum number and capacity Delta allows). The two...

I don't know what the forum rules are on direct merchant links, but I've bought two Specialized battery extenders on eBay for ~$400 each delivered (US). I bought the first one to make sure it was legit. The guy has sold over 20 and as I write this has two left. The price before tax is $384.99

Living near Atlanta, I always fly non-stop :). And yes, will fly into Rome. I've taken a bike to Europe multiple times, but never an e-bike. Had a Bike Friday I used to travel with when I was a consultant, but it would fit into a standard suitcase and I could check it with no issues (except...

Thank you to all for your feedback and ideas. Super helpful. For the Delta link, I had checked some time ago and I swear they said only one battery carry-on (max = 160 WH) at the time. Two makes a big difference. The internal battery of the Creo is 320 WH, so two RE batteries = one internal...

Hi, I'm planning to do a bike tour of Tuscany in 2024. I'm basically spoiled and want to have my Creo road bike for the tour (for various reasons, but certainly because unlike any e-bike I might rent in Europe, the mph cutoff is a lot higher). I can't take the bike on the plane as luggage...

I almost never open Mission Control on my phone. I don't use it to track rides, and I don't change my power settings, so there's really no reason to open it. I opened it today for the first time in probably six months to see which firmware I'm running and I was surprised to find that the...

I rode an Orbea Gain for three years before I purchased my Turbo Creo. I rode the Gain year round, about 200 times per year, and charged it after every ride. Orbea provided this information about battery life in their literature: 200 rides per year leads to a pretty significant drop in...

My rule of thumb is to never ever take software upgrades for my e-bikes unless 1) they are needed to fix something that is broken, 2) the upgrade will provide a capability that I need or want and 3) others have done the upgrade and had consistently good results. Between my Orbea Gain and Turbo...

My personal view is that you should customize based on how you use the bike, to improve the experience. For me, I never use 100%, so why have that setting? I've got my Turbo Creo road bike set up for 30/40/60. So Turbo for me is 60%. Most of the time I'm in the middle mode (Trail) at 40%. I...

Fixed! Shout out to Roswell Bikes of Roswell Georgia who took care of me on the spot, didn't have to drop the bike off. One of the cables behind the shifter had pulled loose. Per the mechanic, there wasn't enough slack, so it pulled out over time. He reseated it and adjusted the slack...

>>>does the Di2 setup stock on a creo expert or s-works have the bluetooth module? Good question - I don't know. But if it did, the connection would be via the button on the junction box, which isn't working. >>>Does the Creo allow for some kind of battery removal? I don't know where the Di2...

I have a 2021 Turbo Creo that I bought new about 5 weeks ago. Rear Shimano Ultegra Di2 derailleur was working fine, I tend to charge it about every two weeks through the bar end junction 'box'. Couldn't remember the last time I charged it, so I checked it this afternoon and the green LED lit...

Indeed it does! Last place I might have looked. Thank you!

Unfortunately, my "at the bike shop" checklist did not include "is there a Di2 charger in the take-home kit?". There was not. The bike shop is sending me one. However, I have no idea where to plug in the charger or how to tell the current charge level. It's not in the manual, and every...

I'm going to fiddle with the software parameters to see if that will make a difference. The Orbea Gain, in its normal mode of operation, gives you 100% of the available power, in each individual power level, as soon as you turn the pedals (regardless of whether. you are stomping or soft...

I purchased a 2021 Turbo Creo this weekend and took my first ride today. My first impression is “wow this bike is loud”. So loud that it crowds out all my other impressions. I’ve ridden an Orbea Gain e-bike for three years and it has been a fantastic bike. My only complaint is the 20 mph...

This is a great message board - I really appreciate the fast and detailed responses to my query. As I've gotten (ahem) older, position on the bike is really important to me, especially for my hands and arms, and overall position (more upright, less racer).

I'm going to look at a Turbo Creo this weekend. The Specialized web site, and comparisons I've done with my current bikes, have my size as a large (I'm 5'10", 32" inseam). I'm guessing that with the Future Shock fork, there is no way to add spacers to raise the stem. In other words, the fork...

Thanks, jodi2, for your detailed and thoughtful response. My guess is that there was some issue with the Gain you tested. I've written about my experience with the Gain after thousands of miles, and I've been consistently impressed with its smoothness, and its overall ability to help me ride...

A $1000 discount would certainly encourage me to lighten up their inventory. $2000 and I'll buy one next week.
