As mschwett says you have to get your weight on your feet/legs and off the seat when it's rough. Completely off when really rough. If I wasn't using a PNW 90mm dropper post and Ergon SMC Core Prime saddle I'd probably to with a Specialized CG-R ("Cobbler Gobbler") post to help with seated comfort.

I'll second what Allan47.7339 and jodi2 said above and add that the frame has a lifetime warranty (crashes not covered!). I have about 2,400 miles of mixed riding on my Comp Carbon EVO and haven't had any issues off-pavement. I run 700x47 Speciaized Tracer tires - these provide more cushion and...

The Vado SL come stock with lower end Pathfinder Sport tires. I don’t see a weight listed for them, but they are probably slightly heavier than the Pathfinder Pro version which weighs 480g in 700x38. The Schwalbe G-One Speed tires in 27.5x2.0 weigh 400g (V-Guard) or 500g (V-Guard/Snakeskin)...

Mrs levity and I switched to 27.5 wheels, wider tires, and a better fork on our regular Vados and liked the result. You can see more here: httpwiders://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/vado-bado-with-27-5-wheels.26904/#post-183527 DT Swiss makes adaptors to convert a hub from a 15mm to...

How much free time you have to ride it. How jealous your riding buddies will be it they aren't on e-mtbs.

If you use Stefan’s EBR handle like this, @Stefan Mikes , he will be notified. Oh, guess I’ve done it for you 😉

Thanks for the correction and info, @Rincon . 👌 My comment was based on wattage draw from an external power source. I saw the same draw using the splitter cable to both as I saw when charging only the main battery and concluded, incorrectly, that there was no benefit. The charger seems to be...

^^ @Vamos - To access zero power assist: Hold the upper TCU button in for ~2 sec to turn off assist. Power remains on. Press button again briefly and power will return in Eco mode and normal operation.

Good to hear that you're feeling the stoke, @mschwett! Hope you keep it going! Re wheels and tires: The R470s are already a pretty light wheelset, ~1650g. I'm not sure you'd notice much difference going to a slightly lighter carbon set especially since the Creo is itself heavy and it has a...

see post #10 above, problem solved

It won’t. The charger will deliver power at about the same rate, so it will take about the same time as it would to charge them sequentially. The Y-cable just offers the convenience of not having to return to switch the connector. Disappointing :(

Hey @Oberst - sounds like you have a great LBS! Where in the US are you located?

@abercrombie - that's definitely not normal! Which model is it? We have two Creo Comp Carbon EVOs (Praxis cranks) that have seen a lot of rough trail miles, and the chainrings remain rock solid. I can't tell from your video, does the spider move on the shaft? Or, do the spindle and crank arm...

Hey Shakey - I'm close to your size (5'11"/33/33) and ride a LARGE Creo EVO. Fit is perfect. Like you I also ride a Large Levo SL (and Large Levo and Large Stumpjumper), so I would expect a Large Creo to work best for you. I did switch to a 90mm stem on the Large Creo as I ride off-pavement a...

I think the only way you can avoid the drop in power you’re seeing at the end of the RE discharge is to set Mission Control to use both batteries at he same rate. It takes a bit more effort to recharge both, but it’s worth it if you need both. (My understanding is that it’s also a little mote...

I think your Vado 4 came with Trigger Sport 700x47 tires. These are 60tpi, have a wire bead, and weigh ~600g. You might take a look at Specialized's Pathfinder Pro. Thes Pros are 120tpi, are foldable and tubeless ready, and weigh 540g (700x42) or 480g (700x38). Either size is probably OK on...

Similar experience here in the U.S. with my 2018 Vado 6.0 And later, after I purchased a Specialized Creo and listed the Vado for sale, folks were lined up to buy it. Spesh seems to be leading the way...

Worth watching if only for the stunning photography by Claudio von Planta, the cameraman who accompanies Ewan and Charley on a regular motorcycle.
