    Creo SL Comp Carbon EVO vs SL Comp Carbon?

    I also had another go at trying to figure this out mounting my phone on my bars while riding. At 35% support I saw motor power numbers close to 35% of rider power, as I expected. But at 50%, the two numbers were much closer to each other, as eLevity had suggested they would be. I didn't go...

    Creo SL Comp Carbon EVO vs SL Comp Carbon?

    Since you ask...my first thought was to use the front wheel from my Trek (Aeolus 3 TLR, disc with a through axle) and get the same rear wheel with a Creo appropriate cassette to make swapping between bikes easy. But that didn't work, when I lined up the rotor in the groove there was too much...

    Creo SL Comp Carbon EVO vs SL Comp Carbon?

    Thanks guys. I went ahead and bought the Creo SL Comp carbon and have been riding it happily for the better part of a month now. I forgot I had posted this or would have updated, sorry. I didn’t want to spring for the $ to get the Expert. The ride quality and lighter weight of the carbon frame...

    Power calibration on Creo

    I did try that Dave, thanks, but the numbers jumped around so much it was hard to really tell anything - I also had to keep my eyes on the road after all! Given it’s inability to provide any post-ride historical data I found it pretty useless

    Power calibration on Creo

    Thanks for posting this. It has been nagging at me. I recently did a "test", riding the same stretch of road on the Creo, then riding it again on my Trek immediately after, trying to maintain the same effort level (based on HR and perceived exertion). There was a pretty big difference, with my...

    What's your farthest ride on a single charge with a Vado?

    Whoa Stefan, never ask a woman her weight! lol Seriously, I am about 130 lbs, guessing she is a good 15 lbs heavier, maybe more.

    What's your farthest ride on a single charge with a Vado?

    OK...Here's a question for all you engineering/mathematically able types (not me!). I have a Creo, my far less fit friend has a Vado. We went up a 7.6 mile climb with about 1,500 ft. elevation gain together today, with our bikes set in Eco at 35%. She was right on my wheel, chatting up a...

    Creo ride report

    LOL but at nowhere near the same speed - even with the motor :-) I was pretty happy to end at 16 mph without having put myself in the grave to do it. I LOVE this bike! I used to hate climbing - and where I live it's mandatory

    Power calibration on Creo

    Does anyone have any insight as to how accurate the power readings are from the Creo? My Garmin detects power, but won't allow me to calibrate the power meter. The numbers I see for my power output while riding seem pleasantly high - but I am not sure they are accurate compared to what I am...

    Creo ride report

    I was quite interested to see this. I did a big ride yesterday - 75 miles/4,700 ft of climbing (those of you on metric can do the math yourselves) I have Eco set to 40% support/65% peak power and have found that at around 55 miles riding almost entirely in Eco my battery is depleted. So I...

    My first e-bike (Turbo Creo SL Comp Evo)

    The answer to that all depends on the weather and who I am riding with, but we have had a lot of wind so far this season, and there is a always a lot of climbing. I live on the benches heading up to a couple of ski resorts, so even if I don't climb those canyons, the flattest ride I can find...

    My first e-bike (Turbo Creo SL Comp Evo)

    I can’t answer your question, but since you have both the Creo and the Levo maybe you can answer one of mine :-). I have a Creo, and have friends that have new Levos and Vados and want to join me in a road ride. Usually they are slower than me, and I know that bike is heavier so I was thinking...

    Garmin Power Readout on Creo

    My Garmin detects a power meter on my new Creo and shows me watts, but I am not sure how to interpret the readout. Is it my effort? Me and the bike combined? Just the bike? Confused. I can't calibrate it either; when I turn everything on I get the usual message "do I want to calibrate the...

    Creo SL Comp Carbon EVO vs SL Comp Carbon?

    How much does that bike weigh though?

    Creo SL Comp Carbon EVO vs SL Comp Carbon?

    I had the same issue with the button the first time I rode it, hated it’s location on the top tube. But in researching other models I found they all do the same thing. If you think that’s annoying, try an Orbea, which has just one button to cycle through all the power modes - including off! I...

    Creo SL Comp Carbon EVO vs SL Comp Carbon?

    So I rode the Creo Comp Carbon yesterday with the tires from the EVO (38s). I did a 36 mile ride with two good climbs, one about 4.5 miles, the other 7.6, 3,200 ft climbing altogether. Didn't like the ride near as much as with the road tires -at least not going uphill. Downhill it was bomb...
