Yes, I’m probably being overly optimistic in even considering the possibility. But, I have to try! I’m working very hard at improving my fitness level (weight lifting with a trainer 4x weekly, along with either indoor cardio, hiking steep trails, or cycling, 4-5x per week), so maybe I’ll be...

All this talk about the new app and Smart Control motivated me to try the latter yesterday (with the Mission Control app, of course). I had tried the heart rate piece a year ago, and didn’t care for it, but this time I thought I’d try the distance setting. I set it to 45 miles, 500 foot...

Of the above, I use only the Mission Control app, and I use that only for the tuning function. In reality, I haven’t tuned with Mission Control in quite some time, as it’s set where I like it. I did download the new Specialized app to check it out, but I won’t likely be using it. While riding...

I’m with you on this. My cassette is 10-50T, and there’s no way I’ll ever spin out with my 46T chainring even on a downhill. At some point, I’m tapping the brakes!

Have you tried their dealer locator? https://www.dtswiss.com/en/support/dealer-locator

That looks like fun! Do they have e-bikes available?

I’ve also had my Creo for over a year, charge after nearly every ride, and haven’t seen any loss of capacity. Mission Control will always show 100%, but I use the BLevo app, which supposedly provides an accurate measurement of battery health, and it also says 100%. Honestly, although I’ll admit...

My concern about the Road Remotes was unfounded. I now realize the Levociraptor connects between the motor and the TCU.

I’m considering riding the Seattle-to-Portland event in 2024. This event does not allow Class 3 e-bikes, so I’m looking for a way to limit my Creo’s top assist speed. Honestly, I wouldn’t mind limiting it, as I’ll need all of the range I can get. The only way I see to accomplish this is with...

I have questions. So many questions.

I’m sure what @6zfshdb says is true. However, I’m lazy, so I just charge my Specialized Creo to 100% after every ride, based on the thought that on my next ride I might need it. The battery health, per both the Mission Control app and the BLEvo app, is still at 100% after over a year. It may be...

That one is just plain scary! The problem is that at a given moment in time, anyone is capable of a lapse in diligence. Our mind may be lost in other thoughts when the call comes in, we may be overly tired, or perhaps we’re medicated.

I think the first rule is; never answer questions from a caller. I got a call a few days ago from someone purporting to be a representative from my medical insurance provider. They said they had import information for me, then asked my birthdate to confirm my identity. That’s when I hung up. I...

If it is a non-mastermind bike, the BLEVO app would work with it, which gives the user the ability to control the assist in a manner similar to mastermind. I use it, and I’m not sure I’d want to give it up for Mastermind.

This is similar to my story. I had a Trek 2000. After not riding for a number of years, I cleaned it up, put new tires and cables on it, even new wheels (one was damaged). I rode it a few times and decided I was never going to be able to handle the hills. I bought an ebike, and shortly after...

Yes to the efficiency of spinning. If you’re wearing a heart monitor, it becomes obvious.

Rome is the troll. You’ll want to put him on ignore.

SOLD UPDATE: SOLD MAKE ME AN OFFER! I’d like to get this bike out of my garage. Nothing wrong with it, but it just wasn’t the right bike for me, as I decided I prefer a road bike. I’ve kept it around for others to ride, but I’m really ready to see it gone. LOCATED IN PUYALLUP, WASHINGTON...

Well, that sucks. I have a couple of their 80 volt tools, so I guess I’ll feel the pain at some point. The way battery technology is evolving, I suspect this will eventually happen to everyone, regardless of brand. At the very least, we’ll need new chargers, assuming the battery will at least...

I hope you are able to find a good fitter. I went to one last year, and it helped but not perfectly. If I find the time, I’m going to give it another shot sometime. The problem is I can’t find one less than an hour-plus away by car. In the meantime, it’s not horrible, so it won’t stop me from...
