    Maintenance stand quandary...

    These are amazing. I just got one and ordered a second one. You can put the front or rear tire into it and it holds the bike upright without hitting the derailleur. It was $37.21 delivered to my door from Discount Ramps.

    Are white reflectors required on wheels

    I’m in CA and just got my Creo1 from the warehouse. It doesn’t have wheel reflectors and I put clip In pedals on, so no reflectors of any kind on the bike. The tires are solid black. I would have taken the reflectors off anyways. I won’t be riding it at night, so no biggie.

    Garmin Questions

    Thanks Stephan, I just looked at the Wahoo’s online. The three buttons on the bottom control all the functions? I’m thinking the Roam might be the best for me, I like the ability to have one computer that will work for my new Creo and my Levo. I’ll just have to buy a second mount. Does the...

    I just looked at the K-edge mounts online. They look well made, thanks for the advice.

    Garmin Questions

    Sorry for the lack of information. Yes I want it to integrate with the Creo, as most of the time it will be mounted on that bike. If possible I’d like to be able to move it to my Vado and Levo. My wife and I ride our Vados the most because they are easy and have a storage bag on the back, but...

    Garmin Questions

    Thanks Stephan, do the ones you’ve suggested have a touchscreen? I really don’t want to learn all the push buttons on another device. A touchscreen sounds easy.

    Garmin Questions

    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...

    Creo1 Handlebar Question

    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

    Creo1 Handlebar Question

    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.

    Advise needed on first time purchaser

    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...

    Specialized/Brose motor failures?

    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.

    Creo Road Remotes

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

    Creo Road Remotes

    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.

    Creo Road Remotes

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

    Help with hill climbing on trails

    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...

    Choose between Vado3 or 4, or Tero3.0

    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...

    Tire pressure question

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

    Riding Tire pressure

    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.

    New Old Girl

    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...
