    Issues with the Turbo Creo SL (all variants)

    I went and looked at my E5 and, yes you are correct about no port on the right but there is an unused port on the left of the top tube so I wonder if that is for adding the remote module? Would definitely be the wrong place for a dropper post.

    Which eMTB to consider? (bought a Levo Comp)

    I wonder if the bike shop could help research shock options for the Levo? I love mine but weigh about 175lbs so not bottoming mine out but there are any number of different shocks that might be better suited for you and your needs. The key is fit and cost, of course.

    Comparing my Vado to the Creo

    I look at my bikes this way: Vado: it is my diesel pickup truck. Lot’s of torque, can carry a lot of stuff and can go most places. Levo: it is my Jeep. Pretty nimble and can get through almost any off road terrain. Creo (alu version): it is my sports car. Fast and nimble on the road and...

    I want a FAST eBike

    My view is I ride my bike, you ride your bike and we can all enjoy ourselves. If someone has a problem with my e bike, it is their problem, not mine. Most “serious” road bikers may ignore me but many may say “ hey that’s one of those e bikes”. Beyond that have never seen much hostility. Then...

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    Took my aluminum Creo out today with my wife. I guess so many years of riding where I am the suspension, I find it comfortable. Of course getting to our bike path system from home requires going down (then up on the way home) a dirt path. Made it both ways but 28mm tires and road clipless...

    Como vs Vado- HELP!

    The three contact points on the bike:grips, seat, pedals are easy changes and the shop might give you a break if done at purchase so I would use the smile rule. Which bike gave you a bigger smile?

    Foot Cramps?

    Sounds like you are looking into all the right things, get some blood work done to check levels, the 5-10’s are good flat pedal shoes and you can wear them off bike as well. I usually ride clipless but my mtb pedals Are spd on one side and flats on the other so I use my 5-10’s when I don’t want...

    Bike shops closed in Michigan

    And my guess is the big box store bikes are going to need some professional repair work once they are ridden.

    Como vs Vado- HELP!

    Always hard to try to predict the future and, absent riding both it is very tough. If you think you will stick to paved surfaces with moderate hills, both would seem to suit. If you think you might want to explore hillier areas and some easy unpaved surfaces, the Vado might give you an edge...

    Wary of public transport: Americans turn to bikes

    Interesting article. I think it said the sweet spot was $1,500-2,000 and is now $500-800. That would make sense if more people are buying a first bike just to commute. If it takes hold there might be more people looking to upgrade in the future. I have ridden the NYC subway system since the...

    Como vs Vado- HELP!

    I have a Vado and have never ridden a Como so my opinions are useless except as they apply to me so will offer an observation. It seems the Como may better suit (suspect both would) your current expected ride type. What you may want to consider, however, is that the e bike advantages may...
