Looks like a fun ride. My brother lives in Olympia, not far from a portion of your ride. I'm going to visit him in a couple of months and looking forward to it. No bike rides on that trip because I'm flying. I'm sure he and his wife will get me out on some foot trains though.

A little off topic but here is an example of how far a Creo will get you if riding essentially 100% in the Sport mode. In other words, this was not a battery conserving ride. 33.25 miles 1400 ft. elevation gain 17 mph average speed with a 8 mph crosswind most of the time (rectangular shaped...

Nothing secret here so here are screen shots from both bikes. First shot is from the Vado SL. Second one is from the Creo which still needs an update but latest version numbers are shown. There is also a firmware update for the RE but I didn’t have it hooked up when these shots were taken. As...

I had some free time today so I took my Vado SL in for a firmware update. On the first attempt, my MC screen looked like this too. I rode back up to the shop and they hooked it back up to the computer. Even though the computer said the firmware was up to date the tech ran the updates again...

I installed a RE on my Creo CC a few months after I got the bike. There was no spacer supplied with the RE but I found the spacer with the extra parts that I was given with the bike. I'm not sure why it's needed but I'm the kind of guy who follows instructions so I used it. I also have a Vado SL...

Well, maybe....In the meantime all you can do is shut down, disconnect the RE cable and restart. After restart, you'll be running on the fully charged main battery.

The instructions fo the range extender battery (available on the Specialized website) state that if Mission Control is set to RE first, the motor will lose power when the RE battery gets low. Apparently this is part of the battery management system and is intended to keep from damaging the RE...

I don't know why the motor does that. Perhaps it is programmed in the controller to do that. After my last software update (a few months ago) it seemed more noticeable. There's a new software update available for my bikes but I haven't taken them into the LBS yet. I sometimes ride with a buddy...

I have a Vado SL and a Creo SL. If I climb a hill in turbo I have found that it is important to avoid freewheeling until well over the crest of the hill. Otherwise the motor cuts out quickly and gravity takes over causing what seems like a dragging sensation. It is more noticeable with the Creo...

I got a range extender a couple of months ago and the bottle cage was included.

I think the remote buttons are an essential accessory. Without them, it is more difficult to change support level and you probably won't do it as often as you should. You can add the remote buttons to the handlebars on any Creo. In the US they cost about $70 USD. Also some of the the 2021...

I had a ride with similar stats on my Creo a couple of weeks ago. There was still 35% of the battery left and like you my tank was about empty. So far my range extender battery has been a waste of money because my range doesn’t need an extender.

I have a Creo CC EVO in XL. I use double sided MTB pedals, Shimano M8040. No clips, just spikes and the pedals are fairly narrow. My shoes are 5 10's and the spikes dig into the soles fairly well. Obviously not a speed demon setup here but I don't get pedal strikes. YMMV.

Welcome. You'll learn a lot from this forum. I have since I got my Vado SL 5 EQ last fall. One of the things I learned here is the answer to your question. To turn the lights off while charging, simply turn the bike off using the on/off button on the TCU. The battery will continue to charge but...

Out for a ride on a rail trail yesterday. Still getting used to riding on a gravel surface. Not many riders on the trail yesterday. I saw more turkeys than bikes.

I got my Creo CC EVO in mid January. At that time, the remote buttons were in stock and the LBS installed them while doing the initial build up of my bike. Last week the chain guide was installed. It arrived from the factory in less than a week. Mine is blue. If I'd have seen the green in the...

I just got one of these a couple of weeks ago. I have a Vado SL 5 EQ and a Creo CC EVO so it works on both. The default Mission Control setting is even draw down of both batteries. I have used it on both bikes with the default setting and the drain on both batteries was exactly even. Have not...

It works fine except as Court noted in his review, it is kind of pointed at the end and will dig into soft surfaces. That is not a deal breaker in my view. Here is what it looks like when it is up

As far as I know, the Specialized Dealers in KC do not ship.

There are also some in M and L sizes in KC.
