I just bought a 2022 Creo Comp Carbon and am looking for GPS units to mount on the handlebars and I have a couple questions. I’m thinking about a Garmin, but open to suggestions. 1) What powers the GPS unit? Internal battery or a charging wire off the bike? 2) Which Garmin unit is going to...

Okay thx Allen. I’ve been on EBay and decided on some bars. I asked the salesman at my LBS and he’s checking with the mechanics. I’m gonna have the new bars and power buttons installed at the same time after I put a few miles on the bike. That way they can look at everything and do the install

Thanks Allen, is 31.8mm a common size? I’m thinking about getting CF Aero Bars

I just ordered a 2022 Creo Comp Carbon. Anyone know if I can put Aero bars on it? I like the large flat area to rest my hands when I’m riding.

You’ll be able to ride that bike anywhere. I think a mtb style ebike is the perfect choice. If you had got one that was more specific to road riding, it would be terrible on the dirt. Youll have a great time on that on fire roads and the asphalt. If you get more adventurous, try some easy...

My wife and I each have Vado’s, I think they are 3’s. Two years old and 1400 miles on each of them and no problems.

My mistake guys, they aren’t on our Vados. They’re on our Levos.

They came on the Vados when we bought two of them new from a Specialized LBS. Lemme figure out how to post pics here and I’ll post some.

Specialized actually has a black plastic clip that holds two wires together. I have them on my Vado, it came with them.

If it’s a very steep hill and it’s dirt, yes you will have to be in the lowest gear and maybe the highest assist to get up the hill. You may need to spin the pedals above 90 rpms also. If your rear tire is losing traction, stick your butt out over the back of the seat a little. It only needs...

My wife and I are in our 60’s and both have Vado 3’s. They are so much fun and make us feel 20 again. We recently rode in the Solvang Metric Century (72 miles) then a couple months later, rode across Catalina Island with our overnight stuff in pannier bags. We never would have done either of...

You’ll find the lower tire pressure requires harder pedaling and will use more battery. Just FYI.

I’ve got 700 x 47 tires on my Vado. The recommended pressure is b/t 50-75 psi. I keep them at 40-50 most of the time. When we do organized long distance rides and I’m trying to get the most miles out of my battery, I put the tires a 75.

Is there any way you can ride just a few miles around where your house is? You wouldn’t have to transport it that way. Start with just a few miles and work up to more. Having a sore butt is part of cycling. You can try different saddles, the big poofy ones aren’t always the most comfortable...

This!

Are you sure you want a step-thru? When my wife and I were E-bike shopping we were so close to buying the Comos (step thru) because I hadn’t ridden in years and my wife hadn’t ridden since she was a kid. The chick at the LBS talked us into the Vados and I’m really glad she did. We love them...

As others have stated, go to your LBS and buy a quality bike. Definitely test ride several before you buy. Save some more money, or finance a portion of it if you have to. A lot of bike shops offer 0% for 1 year financing, that’s a no brainer. You want to get a bike that your shop will...

The electrical terminals are on the bottom on my 3.0. Are they in the same place on your bike? I had to mess with mine for a while one day until I figured out the easiest way for the battery to seat in place. Turning the key back to the “locked” position first helped a lot. The lock...

When I remove the battery on my 3.0 I turn the key, remove the battery, then turn it back to where it was. Replacing the battery is fiddly, but I make sure the bottom is seated correctly, then put the top part in place. I have to hit the battery with the palm of my hand for it to seat...

We didn’t see any bison, we looked for them. I’ve got a few friends that live and work on Catalina and one was telling me about a hiker that got charged, gored and stomped by a bison about 5 weeks ago. Needless to say we didn’t go looking for them.
