    Specialized Creo (all models) - Longest Rides/Biggest Climbs

    Not a CREO but a Vado 5.0 SL. 38 miles, 2% battery consumption, 2000 ft of climbing, slow 12.1 mph average, sore leges. Mostly flat but a couple of good climbs around Stone Mountain. I am trying to use my legs more and the battery less and with this bike its possible. I have de-tuned the...

    Vado SL: EQ or Not

    Bravo! I came at the VadoSL from the opposite direction. Five years ago, age 65 I bought a heavy electric cargo bike, didn't use the cargo capability but loved riding again so I traded for a Haibike trekking style bike with Yahama drive system. Rode that one for 6000 miles and got a Riese &...

    Same ride, 21 times, on my Creo

    I agree and I am strangely finding myself shopping for an acoustic bike, the exact opposite of what I expected would happen when i got my first electric.

    Same ride, 21 times, on my Creo

    Like you I have a route I ride a lot, about 38 miles and 2000 ft of climbing. When I started with the Vado 5.0 SL I was using 155 watt/hrs to complete the ride. Today it was 6. Its working!!

    Range anxiety :)

    Todays ride, 219 Watt hrs, 40.8% average support, 41.8 miles, 1700 ft of climbing, and about 97% of my old legs and butt. Range anxiety??? What range anxiety! I continue to be amazed by this little bike and glad to have the Mosquito in the garage. I held off purchasing the range extender...

    Range anxiety :)

    My longest so far on my SL 5.0 was 38 miles/1500 ft climbing and I used 198 Watt/hr, meaning I believe that the battery still had about 122 Watt/hr or 38% remaining. I use ECO most of the time and weigh about 165 LB. I have been amazed by the bikes efficiency and am really don't think I will...

    Vado SL: EQ or Not

    One of the main reasons that I elected for the 5.0 was 10-45 12 sp cassette. Seemed to me that this is the kind of bike I would like more gears on. So far it seems like an accurate assessment. Original saddle was a horror for me, exchanged with an old Selle Royal from one of my other bikes...

    Bags compatible with Superdelite rack

    we use a Velo shopper on my wife's Homage and she likes it because of the zipper opening. I have an Ortlieb urban on my SD which is more typical Ortlieb shape but has roll top and is not huge. But I like it a lot and find it fits well though i had to adjust the bottom mount to accommodate the...

    VADO SL 5.0 EQ

    Thank you, I have used Jones H-Bars here in the US and they are a bit different but the swept angle is similar and I really liked them, they made it possible to continue riding my older Hiabike.

    2021–2022 Riese & Müller Homage

    No, it hasn't been a problem. My Super Delight hs fenders. We have a Homage as well as the SD and have also used it to carry Haibike and Easy Motion with fenders. I make sure that the front tire hold down is very tight. You can usually tighten it a notch or two past the point where it...

    2021–2022 Riese & Müller Homage

    We have this rack and the ramp. It is easy to use but when you are loading two bikes there is a clearance problem rolling the second bike onto the rack with the first bike in place. Handlebars, cranks etc get in the way. Also, I found the Super Delight is so large that it made removing the...

    Bags compatible with Superdelite rack

    We have the Veloshopper on my wife's Homage mainly for the zippering opening, we also removed the shoulder strap from that one as well, I sure you will be happy with it.
