Yeah, that seems to be a typo/mistake. Other docs that have been taken down said 48 volts.

I’ve been following an e mountain bike forum for early news about the SL updates and multiple people posted today with leaked specs for the new Levo SL. Since the current Levo SL uses the same motor as the Vado SL and creo, it seems safe ti assume this next gen. will as well. The new motor is...

Good luck, the 80% charge limit worked fine for me for about 6 or 7 charges and then started going to 100% again. So far the last 4 charges have gone to 100 so I’m going back to my old method of just estimating the time and unplugging the charger before it reaches full charge.

Yes, I have a creo with the older tcu and the 80% charge option works on mine. I got the update a few weeks ago and can confirm that the charge stops at 80% now. There is an on-off option in M C so you’re free to use it or not.

I have a creo and have had a couple of crank clicks. Mine happened both with and without the motor on. Two more things to check, besides the splined crank collar you already checked: Retorque the chainring bolts. That took care of my click for a while. Check the plastic motor cover. It’s held...

Yeah, I’ll keep you posted if I ever find a solution or explanation. I’ve never used Smart Control so I don’t know if mine would act the same. I don’t get the feeling that the rider care techs or my lbs techs have any idea what I’m talking about. I even sent rider care a Blevo csv file that...

Thanks Stefan. And before I got my Creo I had a Vado sl for six months that I had tested the same way after reading your ( and mschwett’s) detailed analysis. That bike did perform like you say (roughly 1.8 X rider input + 20% for the motor electrical energy conversion). I never bothered to test...

Paul, I’m glad to see your post here because I have similar experience with my Creo that I have confirmed many times with both the Blevo app and the specialized rider app. My eco and sport mode do not use the 1.8X factor, it’s more like a 1.2X multiplication factor which makes the mechanical...

I have last year’s pre-mastermind creo and I just got the latest updates last week. My “Tune” tab in Mission Control now has the Charge Limit feature. It was turned off by default but it does turn on. I know from reading automotive EV battery studies that the 20-80% guidelines do significantly...

I am lucky to live where I am away from any congested area in ten minutes, then on rural highways and roads for the most part. In the most congested areas my Varia does pick up traffic that would not be a hazard. Even then I like that it shows the concentration of traffic and its relative...

My Garmin Varia radar tail light is the best accessory I’ve bought for a bike. It has been 100% reliable and my Garmin computer turns it on and off for me when I start and end a ride. I don’t get false positives, sometimes it picks up a car in the other lane that isn’t a threat, but I’d rather...

I’ll add my tubeless conversion experience here for anyone else considering it (I’m the O.P.) I finally wore out my stock specialized turbo pros that came with my Creo carbon comp. I got a pair of Continental gp 5000 s tr’s, 700 x 32 last week. I was surprised how easily they mounted. I used a...

Makes sense to me. I don’t know if your lbs could give you a class 1 sticker after resetting the firmware but they could give you an official looking statement describing the setting now being to “class 1 standard”. Seems like that would cover you.

I have seen signs on bike paths that exclude class 3 bikes but have not seen any enforcement. I don’t ride on bike paths myself but i can imagine the liability issue if someone was riding an “illegal bike” on a bike path and hit someone.

I emailed specialized tech support with that question last year when a friend was considering buying a Vado sl and was concerned with the law disallowing class 3 bikes on bike paths. Spec wrote back saying yes, it is a simple procedure for the bike shop to do.

A shipping possibility is bikeflights. They shipped my Vado sl from cal. To Colorado when I sold it and didn’t need the battery removed. I have heard they ship internationally but I’m not positive about that.

YouTube has a couple of clips of the tq hpr 50 motor noise in trek’s new mt bike and it’s really almost silent. The motor manufacture’s site shows the app it uses and it’s a lot like specialized’s, at least for programming the motor assist. Their eco mode stock setting is 55% assist with 200 w...

I had that same problem and I took the plastic motor cover off from the underside of the motor, cleaned it and reinstalled it and no more clicks! Be sure you put the cover back in place with the little front lip inserted. You’ll see what I mean by that if you look. Just one bolt on the bottom of...

Trek really emphasizes the new motor being almost silent, even providing graphs of its noise characteristics. The only complaint I have about my Creo is that I wish it was a little quieter, otherwise it’s the perfect (for me) bike. When I first read about treks new pin motor, I saw that it...

That tool looks like it would save the thumbs. Do you have the gp5000 TR on your wheels now? Continental claims the newer TR is much easier to instal than the 5000 TL. I’m looking for reviews of the TR specifically.
