Yes, I will test ride the FX + for fun, but will almost certainly go with a turbo vado sl 4.0 or 5.0 (as soon as they become available for a test ride).

Just checked out FX + online. Called my LBS (Omaha, Ne.) and they said they are expecting the first FX + to start arriving in about 2 weeks. I will definitely take one out for a test ride. 2,500 dollars US. It is not a turbo vado SL but seems like a very good value. It has an altus gear...

The hills around the bike shop weren't nearly as steep as the hills where I live are. I put the Creo sl into max assist and never needed the lowest gears. What a lovely machine. I'm pretty sure the turbo vado sl 5.0 will work great for my needs. The sales guy said it takes 2 to 3 weeks to...

Just got back from the creo sl test ride. OK, I'll admit it. I'm still smiling from ear to ear. Oops, I forgot to ask about mission control settings.

Stefan, Yes it does help, thanks. Love the photo of you lifting your e bike.

Thanks, that is encouraging to hear. Jeff

I don't know the gradient or the length. It is the second steepest hill in Omaha, Nebraska. I ride in my lowest gear on my road bike. I struggle to keep the speed above 5 miles an hour but usually drop below that. I am hoping the vado turbo sl 5.0 gets me up it with about 20% less effort...

Hi guys. Jeff F. here. I am new to EBF. I am pretty sure I will ordering a Turbo Vado SL 5.0 from Specialized.com and having it shipped and built at a local shop. I am almost 69 years old but suffering from advancing COPD. I have two very nice Trek analog bikes (road and hybrid) but I...
