Mission Control no longer recording Creo rides?

[ava1ar]

I don't think I would buy a Como SL.

This is the only bike from Specialized I had some (low) interest. Otherwise they don't have anything interesting at all (primarily for commuting purposes) - looks like you agree, since your commuter bike is not from Specialized.

It seems it is great you don't need to replace the e-bike internals just to replace the display

It depends, when you get full control over the bikes, motors and electronics, Specialized approach works. But if you just sell the parts, Bosch approach makes sense (you select 2 things: motor + display).

What does it provide, exactly?

• Five flippable screens
• 10-bar battery level indicator (main battery) and 5-bar battery level indicator (Range Extender)
• Assistance mode selected (Off, Eco, Sport/Trail, Turbo, Smart Control)
• Battery level, %
• Time of the Day
• Batteries' level % (0-150% with Range Extender)
• Current speed
• Distance ridden
• Moving time
• Cadence
• Rider's Leg Power
• Heart rate
• Kcal burnt
• Odometer
• Average speed
• Maximum Speed
• OTA updates
• km or miles
• 12- or 24-hour clock format.

I personally only missing Cadence in day-to-day rides with it. And I got everything I need with Smartphone Hub.

I would simply say Como SL is not the e-bike I would like to own. Especially as I don't crave for a belt drive. (Como SL is a female-oriented city e-bike but I am a suburban & touring type).

My definition of a commuter e-bike is one that allows you getting from point A to B possibly fast and with no sweat on. A hub-drive motor e-bike capable to move up to 20 mph without effort makes a perfect commuter e-bike. Again, I'm no commuter, so I let my close friend use that e-bike for a couple of months as he needs it badly.

My Vado 5.0 (the 45 km/h version) is the e-bike I have used the most (around 10,000 km on its odometer). It lets me making any ride I like: from a fast ride for a coffee with a friend (28.5 miles in 1h 30 mins round trip) through a 104.4 mi touring trip in the flatland to a 77.7 mi/5060 ft mountain trip. The only thing I have to suffer with this e-bike is the weight of 52.8 lbs, which makes it hard to carry it upstairs to the flat I'm currently living at.

For the practical reasons, I got me a Vado SL 4.0. As it's 37.4 lbs e-bike, I can carry it with a single hand upstairs and keep it in my flat. I use it for daily neighbourhood rides but also for leisure long distance trips. Vado SL contributes the best to my physical shape, and is my choice as the perfect second e-bike. It is amazing I can control both bikes using the same software (Mission Control or BLEvo). On the latest ride, a female friend of mine rode her "big" Como 5.0. As I discovered she might run out of the battery, I connected to her e-bike and applied Mission Control "Smart Control" feature, and could have stopped worrying about her e-bike's range.
