    19.5 mph top speed

    Hi Joe, if you try to bypass the max speed with a third party dongle software you will void the warranty. Best advice is to sell your bike and buy one that has a max speed that suits your desires. The shop that you bought it from may take it on trade in or sell it for you on consignment. Going...

    Greetings from a new member in...Zambia

    Welcome Dino! Wow, what an exciting place to ride and on an excellent bike. You might consider setting up tubeless, this should help immensely if you are dealing with thorns.

    No shame Stefan, at least you are out there doing it, and doing it a whole lot better than I ever could!

    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    Dave, sorry to read about your crash, but on the bright side your Garmin only thinks your 65 1/2 years old🙂. Crashing at our age (I hit 68 in July) is not a lot of fun. It’s been 5 weeks since I went down hard and I still have a sore shoulder and some sore fingers. I had vital circulatory fluid...

    New Creo2

    I looked at the link for the remote and it shows compatibility with the Creo SL but doesn't show Creo 2, might fit, i'd have to check with LBS if I decide to go flat bar. Thank you Allan for sharing your experience and suggestions.

    SHOW us YOUR PIX here .... Odd, WeiRd ,UnUSuAl or EyE CaTchIng things from your rides

    Couple of odd things I have ridden by a couple of years ago, just stumbled across pictures when I was looking for something else. The septic pumper was in my hometown. While riding in Kona I came across this unique bike, guess those Hawaiians can’t afford carbon fiber so they go with wood fiber...

    New Creo2

    Thanks for the information on the conversion Allan. I thought the 1.2 was slightly different physically (maybe wiring harnesses also) from the 1.1, so Vado remote may not be compatible. Although I think the Levo SL uses the 1.2 so maybe that remote might be plug and play if the wiring is long...

    New Creo2

    Yes I have considered doing this, brakes and shifters look easy enough, but not sure how to address the power assist selector, looks like you used one from a Vado?

    New Creo2

    Thank you Jeremy, yes I too would prefer a flat bar bike, but the 15 nm difference was the deciding factor with my diminished physical condition. I'm sure Specialized will eventually put the 1.2 motor in the Vado SL, but unfortunately my timeline doesn't offer the luxury of waiting for this. I...

    New Creo2

    A few photos of my new Creo2 that I have had for a few weeks. I have not ridden a drop bar bike much in the last 20 years so it has taken me a few rides to get used to it again. I love the light weight and power of this bike, I was a little concerned with my muscle issues that I would struggle...

    ETAF congratulations on your new bikes, hopefully they will bring much joy to your lives. Anything that gets you outside enjoying nature and pumping fresh air into your lungs is worth the expense.

    I'm in Anchorage, Alaska. I can usually start riding outside the first week of May and it is pretty much over after the first week in October.

    Its even worse up here at 61* north latitude, I'll soon be in the basement on the fluid trainer watching reruns of Gilligan's Island and dreaming of summer riding again. I don't do studs and snow.

    Creo 1, S Works, KPH to MPH ?

    On my Creo 2 I managed to change the display from kph to imperial by turning on the power then pressing and holding both the right and left + and - buttons on the drop bars simultaneously, this should bring up a menu on the screen, "units" will be highlighted then hold the right side button for...

    EBR made me do it! (new Vado SL 5.0 EQ)

    I think it more the distraction Jeremy, it is also good to get out and get some fresh air through my lungs. I find it very difficult to walk more than a quarter of a mile, so riding is a good way to see the things on back roads and out of the way places that I would rarely drive. The doctors...

    Share a recent frustrating experience that made you want to switch bikes!

    I had the same experience, I once rented a Spec Cumo with belt drive and CVT twist shift-I hated it.

    EBR made me do it! (new Vado SL 5.0 EQ)

    Jeremy you will be fine on the Vado SL. I just picked up my new Turbo Creo 2 and was shocked at how nimble and fast that it was, even though you have 8 years on me I am physically 15 years older than you with very weak legs due to a late onset form of muscular dystrophy. I went up hills that I...

    Which of these 3 bikes would you make better use of:

    Have a friend that has the Bulls Iconic evo TR 1, it has been a great bike and bullet proof. Very powerful with the gen 4 Bosch motor and good suspension. Not familiar with the other two bikes.
