    Turbo Creo 2 Comp E5 (aluminum) is out, is a Vado SL 2 next?

    I see a new Creo2 SL Expert in limited sizes available this morning on Specialized website in a cool new bronze color, just in case you have an extra $9000 burning a hole in your pocket;)

    Hi gord, it may be just the magnetic sensor on the rear wheel has gotten dirty or miss aligned, check for this before you start ordering parts.

    Battery charging

    On a Bosch system a charge cycle is a 100% charge: IE, 100%, 20%+80%, 60%+40%, 50%+50%, doesn't matter all considered one charge cycle. I guess I thought all manufactures figured it this way, guess that I was wrong.

    Stefan, Help Needed

    Stefan, first off I wanted to thank you for sharing all your knowledge and experience with Specialized bikes. I sold an airplane this spring that I had for 41 years so I decided to splurge on a couple of new bikes for the wife and I. My wife wanted the Turbo Vado step through SL 4.0, she wanted...

    Welcome to the forum! I just ordered a Turbo Creo2 Comp E5 this morning.

    Are Some E-Bikes Manufactured In Which The Only Difference Between It Being Type 1 Or Type 3 Is A Setting In the Firmware?

    Jim, I asked my LBS that question about Bosch motors (he is a Bosch certified shop) performance line cx vs performance line speed motors and he told me the motors internally look the same and he suspects that Bosch uses software to change the motors characteristics. The cx is class 1 and speed...

    Another epic ride Rab! If I tried that ride with 2 batteries they would find my exhausted dead carcass 50 miles out. I don't know how you do it, ride that distance, that speed with unimaginable elevation gains and still have energy to wright up a fabulous ride report, I wouldn't be able to crack...

    Current Vado/Tero motors

    Thanks BlackHand, yes i typically pedal with a cadence of 70. That is an interesting graph that you showed, I dont think that my Performance Line Speed motor has such a steep line to max wattage.
