    Specialized, Trek or Orbea, which one?

    They are both 20t chain ring but noticed the 63nm is Bosch performance speed 350w motor and the 85nm is the Bosch performance line CX. I'm guessing that must must have been an upgrade option in 2019. I'd like to know how much of a difference that would make for the additional $500? I'm still...

    Specialized, Trek or Orbea, which one?

    Its been a while since I checked my post and want to say thanks to everyone offering input. I came across a real nice 2020 Creo Sl Evo on The Pros Closet but it stated max speed assist at 20mph so I bypassed it thinking it was a non U.S bike for the class one speed. It was on their site for...

    We will be riding about 3800 miles in 38-40 days. This is not a relay so most other then me most if not all the other riders are planning on riding close to 100 miles a day. I'm the oldest in the group by at least ten years and will be pushing 73 when we leave on August 1st. I am in pretty...

    Good review on youtube. At about 5:35 into the video they discuss the new motor.

    You are right, Specialized does not use Mahle motors but at the same time you are wrong about them using a Brose. Specialized SL1.1 motor was designed and made for all their turbo eBikes. No other eBike uses it since its proprietary for Specialized only. Thanks for all the comments everyone...

    It is a rear hub motor. The hub is smaller then the cassette thats why you can't see it in the picture.

    Specialized, Trek or Orbea, which one?

    I don't think you can find an easy route...We were thinking of taking the old Lincoln Highway from San Francisco but that would have meant crossing Nevada's high desert in August. Instead we intend to ride to From SF to Sacramento CA. then load bikes into the trailer and drive north to Eugene...

    Specialized, Trek or Orbea, which one?

    Thanks for your input. We will be riding across Iowa but not before crossing the Teton Pass at 8000 ft. I'm not at all concerned about the flats except for a strong head wind. I plan to ride my Santa Cruz gravel bike on good days. The Orbea Gain M20i is a hub drive motor the Specialized and...

    Specialized, Trek or Orbea, which one?

    I look at Pros Closet almost daily. The Creo Evo price is almost to good to be true but it shows a 20mph top speed so I'm guessing its not a US bike. I sent them a message asking about this. I bought my Santa Cruz Stigmata last year from them for a savings of a $1000.

    Specialized, Trek or Orbea, which one?

    I'm new to the forum and looking for advice. I'm planning on buying an eBike in a month or two and have narrowed it down to Specialized Turbo Creo Evo, Trek Domane HP+, or Orbea Gain M20i. I'm 72 and just started cycling last may. I ride a Santa Cruz Carbon Stigmata and love it and plan to...
