    My LBS made a halfhearted effort. I may give them a call.

    Aftermarket rack and fenders for Turbo Vado SL

    Hey all. I just bought a Turbo Vado SL (in red) 4.0. I would have bought the EQ if I’d been able to get it, it comes with rack and fenders... but, silly me... I figured if it HAD the ability to come WITH them, certainly I could ADD the damn things. Not so fast, apparently. It does say it is...

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    i don’t **think so*** but the aux battery might. I kept my phone on the handlebars on the Gain and managed my battery life that way and my phone always survived, even with iTunes Bluetoothing with my Airshox. For HHH, which is a super flat, airless ride, (I rode the Gain), I kept the battery...

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    yeah, I know what Orbea says. I did get a 100k or two out of a battery, BUT both rides I either averaged over 20mph for stretches (flats, legit tailwinds or a big group) or kept the battery off for the first ten or 15 miles... I do think that perhaps a stronger rider who might keep it above 20...

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    I read most of this thread but I thought I would add my .02 (for what it is worth)...if it is helpful to anyone... I have been an avid road cyclist for over 20 years and recently developed chronic back problems thanks to a lifetime of active abuse to my back (horses, policing, biking, lifting...

    Orbea Gain spare battery DIY?

    From what I understand, the “range extender” which is in production but has not been distributed yet is a water bottle type aux battery (the battery itself on the gain is in the down tube, not easily replaced or swapped). As such, the aux battery is supposed to extend the mileage, not power it...

    Orbea Gain spare battery DIY?

    Anyone tried this? My handy electrician husband thinks there has to be a better and easier way than the interminable wait and ridiculously expensive aux battery issue I’m facing with my Orbea Gain. Knowing, of course, it voids the warranty. I ride the Gain in pure eco (level 1) mode, but the...

    Orbea Gain/ebikemotion app comprehension issues

    It was the “enable auto assist” I couldn’t find... but when I went to switch off the HR monitor (duh, lol!) there it was! Thank you!

    Orbea Gain/ebikemotion app comprehension issues

    Got it. When I turned the app on, it was picking up someone’s HR monitor.. I don’t wear one. Now I can’t find that option to turn it off? I do find the app a bit cumbersome and not intuitive... but I don’t have any such intuition, so no big surprise there!

    Orbea Gain/ebikemotion app comprehension issues

    Hi all... I found this forum while trying to talk myself into an ebike, the info here helped (so thanks)...I have a nerve issue in my back that made riding FREAKING MISERABLE after 15 or 20 miles, depending on the hills and I spent I don’t know how much time and money trying to fit my...
