    Welcome and goo’day. Looks like a nice bike and that you have it set up well. I’m in Alaska so I have southern hemisphere envy right now as I ride my indoor trainer.

    Hi gang!

    When I first started to look into and research e bikes about five years ago and I saw the acronym PAS I thought they were using it to describe low quality direct to consumer bikes that had histories of electrical and mechanical problems referring to them as Piece a S..t

    Hope that you feel better soon Stefan, I had a three day flu about ten days ago. It sure takes away any desire to do anything physical.

    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    Pathetic + ??? I don’t think so Jeremy! I would rate your ride at Animal+ That distance and elevation gain in that timeframe at your age, pure animal status in my book. i would give my left one to be able to maintain 168 watts on a ride that long.

    Welcome Lee & Debbie, I just picked up a Creo 2 a few weeks before the snows came, almost dialed in, but only put 150 miles on it.

    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.

    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.
