What you say is Oll Korrect I meant the range of a SL 1.2 e-bike with the default settings would be shorter.reports from more sophisticated creo 2 users suggest the range is identical if the power output is identical, which is what you’d expect. obviously the assist settings need to be reduced since the multiplication factor is higher.
weight of the creo 2 with the same wheels and tires and seat post as the creo 1 actually seems to be a tiny bit less, not more. it’s just the heavy wheels and tires and dropper and groupset at work.
since vado sl already had relatively heavy wheels and tires (compared to s-works or expert creo) i don’t think the SL 1.2 vado will be heavier. it may be very slightly lighter.
When I was more active on the gravel group rides with strong riders (riding my Vado SL 1.1), I dreamed to have something like 120% assistance, as I was missing some on asphalt to keep up with the group! The SL 1.2 would provide even more than that; still, I could have used up as many as 4 Range Extenders on a 140 km ride having the less powerful SL 1.1 motor. While I could probably use just a single RE if I rode lowly assisted.
(The group rides required derestricting the e-bike to be able to ride above 25 km/h. Now, with the 'e-Sprint' racing format, I need to keep my Vado SL legally restricted).

It was many years ago now. I decided to buy the first (and the last as it turned out) Home Theater. Just a week after the purchase a new model with a USB socket appeared in stores...
