    Should I assume that no one has been able to get an Apple Watch to connect to Mission Control

    Got lucky today on buying my first Ebike!

    I ended up deciding new and major mfg since I am completely un-handy wrt to things mechanical. I know I paid a price for that piece of mind, local support and convenience but I am ok with that.

    Got lucky today on buying my first Ebike!

    Hre Great find. I am very close by and have been scouring NY/CT CL and FB Marketplace and wasn’t as lucky. Ended up going new, spending about $500 more than my budget but incredibly happy with my choice. Enjoy your bike!

    Como vs Vado- HELP!

    Does anyone have experience with wither the Specialized Cup saddle on the Vado or the Selle Royal eZone saddle? Also- I appreciate the tips re the gloves. I hadn’t said anything yet but there is definitely some pressure on the wrist after about 10 miles. Seemed to me to be about the angle that...

    No worries. mission Control is the Specialized app that allows you to tune your assist levels, monitor battery usage, track your ride and your heart rate (through a related app called Strava)

    COVID-19 / recession buying an ebike...are there deals to be had?

    I was sure that I wanted a class 3 vs a class 1. To me it was ‘why would i want a slower bike”. While I have ZERO regrets about my choice (loving it!) I will say that during a few of my rides when i looked at my speed i thought- 20mph is still really fast. ;) My rides have been averaging...

    Heart Rate Monitor Recommendations

    ....but does it link to Mission Control? What I am looking for SPECIFICALLY is a monitor that links to MC and Strava. I want all of the data integrated.

    Heart Rate Monitor Recommendations

    I appreciate the responses here, but I am specifically looking for recommendations that connect easily to MC. A few people have recommended the Apple Watch, but others of you have said that it doesn’t connect. Is it a function of which version of Apple Watch perhaps?

    Heart Rate Monitor Recommendations

    This is why I had posted- if I am going to buy something, since the only thing I am likely to use it for is riding my Vado, I want to be sure it connects easily and well.

    I have had an Apple watch before but didn't wear it much as I preferred my other watches.

    Thx. I’ve read that the Polar chest straps are best. Since I don’t need to be that precise, I think I’ll stick with a watch.

    Yes but I have a substantial watch collection to which I am partial. ;)

    Heart Rate Monitor Recommendations

    I don’t get a check from DJT so maybe I’ll go to EBay and find a 4 from someone who is upgrading to a 5. Really don’t want to spend $400-500 for what will mostly just be a heart rate monitor.

    I figured that Apple Watch would be the recommendation. Was just hoping to spend less. Also, I’m kind of into watches and don’t think I’d wear the watch other than while riding.

    Heart Rate Monitor Recommendations

    Does anyone have any recommendations for heart rate monitors that connect well to Mission Control? I am not a very active fitness guy so have never really used one. What is best/easiest solution? A watch? Something else? I look for your suggestions-

    Mission Control vs Strava

    Google Maps: 11.3 Mission Control: 10.88 Strava: 8.58 Hmm.... Used about 20% of the battery (minimal wind, moderate hills, mostly riding at level 1 with a couple of level 2 boosts on hills, 225# rider).
