HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- On this day, I attempted to ride 100 miles on my Specialized Turbo Creo SL E-bike. It has a 1.1, Costom lightweight motor, power by a 320Wh integrated SL battery, I also had an additional 160Wh Range Extender battery for this adventure. Come along and watch the ride to see if I achieved this goal. You'll be surprised of the outcome!

Great video! I have the aluminum version of this bike. My top tube readout is blue bars not digital. I recently did an 80 mile ride and finished with about the same amount of battery as you have left, but I probably used turbo in sport more than you did. I think these bikes are awesome! :-)
Hi Brian, kudos to you for your epic 80 miler, it’s amazing how far you can ride on the Creo. When you find the right balance of your effort and motor assistance the battery efficiency really does lasts much longer. Many thanks for watching and happy riding, take care. ⚡️🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
No extender battery either? You riding the 35nm or 50nm creo?
How do you like the aluminum frame?
@@soysanto9939 love it. I have zero complaints.
Completed 10 rides over 62 miles and 3 100 milers since getting mine 4 weeks ago. Fought getting E bike until situation arose that I couldn’t refuse.
So far so good! Looking forward to learning about the Mission Control to maximize efficiency
Hi Jeremy, kudos to you buddy, the Creo is an amazing bike and like you I’m having a great time riding it. Learning the Mission Control setting is the best way to maximise your mileage, I have messed around with it but find the default setting works great for me. Many thanks for watching and happy riding. ⚡️🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
I did the London/Essex 100 mile closed road event in 2023. I kept it on eco most of the time as hardly any hills and there was at least another 15 miles left. That was with the range extender attached.
Hi Fred, the Creo is an amazing bike, you really can go on some epic long adventures, if you put the effort in. It’s great that you are entering and enjoying cycling events, and I wish you luck this year, hopefully the weather improves. Thanks for watching ⚡️🚴🏻👍🏻
Did 108 miles on my Ribble CGR ALe without a range extender. Well knackered when i got home but equally well chuffed as well. Keep up the good work.
Hi Bud, wow it’s absolutely amazing how far you can travel with these E-bikes. Kudos to you for pushing yourself and the Ribble on that epic journey, and I bet you enjoyed every single mile, because E-bikes are so much fun. Thanks for watching and happy E-Bike riding ⚡️🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
This is my favourite vlog of all time . I read where you are. I've been there too and had a heart transplant on top . Thank you Mark for all your inspiration.
Hi Nikoli, as you know Devon is a great place to cycle, there’s endless different routes to ride and places to see. On that ride I was challenging the range of the Creo and it really did impress me. Just like you have, not everyone can go through a ❤️ transplant and keep on rolling 🚴🏻 Take care and Thanks for watching, happy riding. ⚡️🚴🏻👍🏻
My Creo SL Comp E5 can do 160 Km (100 miles) in eco mode. But I have to be honest, I live in the flattest country in the world...🤣 Love this ride man...👍
Hi, the Creo is an amazing bike and I’m really impressed with the mileage it can do, and like you I’m having so much fun. Many thanks for watching and happy riding. ⚡️🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
Great video. These are the kind of videos that people need to see to appreciate the benefits of ebikes. Thank you, and it looked like a lovely ride.
Hi Jason, riding an E-Bike is awesome. And I was genuinely very surprised that I could easily ride 100 miles Pluss distance with a good elevation. I really enjoyed that challenge and I can’t wait to do it again and more when the weather gets a little warmer. Thanks for watching and happy riding. 🚴🏻♂️⚡️
The 100 miles and lots of smiles😊video, I enjoyed that thanks, great job🚴♂️🚴♂️👍
Hi Chris, I really did enjoy that ride and I was really surprised at how the bike performed. Many thanks for watching and happy riding, take care buddy. ⚡️🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
Another great video. You are really good at making videos that are engaging, entertaining, and informative. Thanks again
Hi Travis, I really do appreciate your feedback and support. A comment like yours really does inspire me to keep the content flowing, and hopefully inspire others to go out and ride. Many thanks for watching and happy riding. ⚡️🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
great video and very informative, drove 160 km with my creo.
Hi, with the mileage me you and others are doing on the Creo is awesome, what an amazing bike it is. It’s definitely not a free ride though you really do need to put the effort in so kudos to you. Many thanks for watching and happy riding. ⚡️🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
Parabéns, ótimo vídeo. Grande desafio com uma excelente bicicleta. As ebike são maravilhosas, nos INCENTIVAM a pedalar. Tenho uma urbana elétrica e na minha cidade já fiz 280 km com uma carga. São vários fatores que interferem na autonomia de uma elétrica: o peso do ciclista, o terreno, a pressão dos pneus, o vento, a cadência...
Valeeeuuu!!!
Oi Julio, Você está muito certo, pois existem muitos fatores que determinam o desempenho de uma e-bike como você afirmou. Como você, eu também estou gostando muito da minha e-bike, pois eles são muito divertidos. Eles também dão a TODOS a capacidade de desfrutar do esporte. Muito obrigado por assistir e feliz pilotagem. ⚡️🚴🏻👍🏻
I have the Creo SL Expert 2022…love that bike!
Nice video👍👍👍
Hi PE, the Creo is a fantastic bike and like you I’m having so much fun. Your Expert comes with some nice kit and I really like the wheels. Many thanks for watching and happy riding. ⚡️🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
Excellent 👏🏻👏🏻 You must be putting out quite a few more watts than I can in order to stay above the pedal-assist limit, and for longer.
You've got thinking of giving it a go myself before the winter closes in!
Hi Dave I hope you are well buddy, yes on the flats I do generally ride about the pedal assist normally around 18mph but as you know the Creo comes into it’s own on the hills and Devon has plenty of them. I do recommend you do your own 100 mile challenge before the season is over as you will definitely be surprised as what this bike can do. Many thanks for watching and happy riding, take care ⚡️🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
Once again a great video Harve and always nice to churn out a 100 odd miler.
That battery use is amazing. You could have rode all day!
Your bike setup is looking great, you must be well chuffed. Still got my two Giant Defy bikes and loving them. Maybe switch to an E bike in the future but no plans yet.
All the best to you sir...😊
Hi Anthony, I was pretty amazed myself at how far these batteries can assist a rider. Yes I am pleased with my Creo and it’s setup but I really do miss my Giant Defy, they are a amazing bike and I have so many great memories, so you hold on to yours buddy and keep enjoying them. Many thanks for watching and happy riding. 🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
Fantastic ride and the motor seems so much quieter than before. Love the way the bike rolls on the road sound lush.
Hi Russ, the GoPro mics would home in and pick up the motor and exaggerate the noise and make it sound louder than it actually was. But my new and improved audio setup is finally working a treat now. If you liked the road buzz on this vlog you will definitely enjoy next week’s adventure, it’s awesome. Many thanks for watching and take care. ⚡️🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
@@electricbikerider did you get my email on your yahoo account???
Excellent video !
Amazing bike trails and roads !
Thanks for watching Ivan take care ⚡️🚴🏻♂️
Brilliant ride Harvey I managed nearly 51 mile last weekend with about 1700 ft of climbing (nothing compared to yours ha ha!) but still had 62 mile range left without the range extender so I was very impressed with the bike too. Look forward to you next vlog. Happy riding 😊
Hi Linda, 51 miles and all that climbing is a fantastic achievement and something not many people can actually do, so kudos to you. The Creo has really impressed me and I’m surprised at the distance it can actually do. As for next weeks vlog it is coming on great, it’s a bit longer that my normal vlogs but there is so much to show, so I hope I don’t disappoint you now. 🤣🤣 Many thanks for watching and happy riding. ⚡️🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
Thanks Harvey my real test is coming in September as going for a weeks holiday in Derberyshire not far from the High Peaks/Tissington trails and looking at the elevation around there I hope I can climb those hills even with the assistance ha ha! I’ll have to wait and see 🤣🤭
Linda wow the high peaks, that sounds amazing but you will be fine. Devon has a similar elevation of a 1000ft per 10 miles traveled 😂😂
@@electricbikerider ha ha Oh my god! 🥵
Very impressive!!!! looks like this bike will do exactly what I am looking for, I will be riding the same roads as you based in Barnstaple, I recently had a problem develop with my left eye (Uveitis) after a very long hard ride (80 miles), all ok now and the doc assured me it wasnt related to the cycling, but it kind of spooked me and my missus banned me from all day long rides 🙂 but with this I should have it covered, maybe our paths will cross soon 🙂
Hi Vaughanb, sorry to hear about your medical eye issue, that must have been very worrying for you and your wife. You can be assured this bike will look after you on your long rides and take the strain on those big hills. Something that may interest you, next year I will be arranging a HCC ride out with me and some other subscribers. Many thanks for watching and take care ⚡️🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
@@electricbikerider Yea I will stay tuned and likely join you, my problem is that I can still ride well and climb unassisted, but something in the back of my head is now telling me its maybe not wise, wouldnt be so bad if I had dodgy knees or something like that which would hold me back, just been down to the bike shed, they have fitted the mudguards, the sidestand and just waiting for the remote buttons which should be in on Thursday (day after tomorrow), I had a choice of either the L or the XXL which were all they have left, I think I got it right, I am 180cm (about 5ft 11ins) and I have chosen the L frame, the XXL was probably too big, it certainly felt right and the Specialized size guide says its the one for me, so should be good, will let you know what I think when I get it
Hey im in my 60s and am going on a ride in Spain soon and lived in the Exeter/Exmouth area and was wondering if I could have a test ride or go on a ride with you maybe do the same loop you have done in this video to see if its suitable for 100 mile days how the Specialized turbo Creo handles, feels, and the full range. Love the Video really inciteful keep up the rides. Peter.
Hi Tom, I hope you’re well. If you live in the Exeter area you should definitely visit the Bike Shed, outta town store, on Honiton rd,as they have Creo’s there for costumers to test ride. The Creo is a fantastic bike and I highly recommend it, and as I have shown it’s more than capable for long distances. As for myself doing an epic ride, I really haven’t got the time at the moment but I will be arranging a EBR ride sometime early summer, hopefully. Many thanks for watching. ⚡️🚴🏻👍🏻
You want a test ride on the man's six grand bike?
Very impressive and I really like those raised handlebars
Hi Brent, the Creo is a very comfortable ride and I was very surprised at what this bike was capable of doing. Many thanks for watching. ⚡️🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
Im waiting for these bikes to come out with regen for the downhills. Could give massive range figures
Hi Alex that would be great as I think the range you can travel on the Creo is already amazing. Many thanks for watching and happy riding. ⚡️🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
@@electricbikerider was thinking of picking one up so thanks for the video. Can I ask what height you are and what frame you went for?
@@alcurtis93 Hi Alex at 5:8 I typically fall between frame sizes (small & medium)so I always size down and go for the smaller frame. I hope that helps. ⚡️🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
@@electricbikerider I'm a bit over 5'10 so think I'd fit into the L territory but could do with trying one somewhere
@@alcurtis93 you also practically fall between sizes but I reckon you could get away with a large frame, but try it first because you might feel like me more comfortable on the smaller frame size so the medium could be a better choice. Good luck. ⚡️🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
I think you’d have comfortably down the tonne without the range extender by that measure just by running 50% Eco and 50 % Sport. Turbo seem to drain more substantially (which I guess you’d expect). Wish they have that TCU 2.0 across the range.
Hi Andrew, I also think if I kept the mode in eco it would have done that 100 mile loop without the range extender. And as for the master mind TCU I think you can upgrade to it, but that’s something to check with your LBS, when it’s in for a service. I would be interested to know if it is possible. Many thanks for watching and happy riding. ⚡️🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
I found my first Creo 2 ride backed up your comment well - I did a local mixed surface ride with one really substantial climb on it. I decided to try out the modes during the climb and was still working like a dog on Turbo...but the battery drain using that mode was really noticeable. I'll probably stay off it on all but the worst climbs, especially on longer rides and until I get the range extender.
@@monguzzle I talk briefly about hills and the modes I use and when I use them in my next video as I have some massive hills to climb in my area. ⚡️🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
Outstanding! Im thinking of getting a Turbo Creo 2 Comp!
Hi Aj, I’ve not ridden the Creo 2 myself but I know others who have and love it. It’s leaning more towards a gravel bike and I personally prefer road cycling more, so the Creo SL is perfect for me. I wish you luck, and no matter what E-bike you choose you will have so much fun riding it, I promise. Thanks for watching and happy riding. ⚡️🚴🏻👍🏻
Like you I have a Creo and also in South West (Bristol). One of my ride goals this year is the Devon Coast to Coast, Ilfracombe to Plymouth, which is 102 miles. I am looking not to use Range Extender, as I have my power level setting on left Di2 lever and often switch to no assist, which really helps battery life and use motor when I need it
Hi Darren, the Devon coast to coast ride is a great route and one I done many years ago. But I don’t know if I would attempt to do it on the Creo without the range extender because it’s not just the 100 mile distance but you have over 6000 ft of climbing on mixed terrain. Although saying that the SMART control setting might work for you, let me know how you get on buddy and I wish you luck for this challenge. Many thanks for watching and happy riding. ⚡️🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
Nice one. Great to see the range the Creo has. Atb Dave
Hi buddy I hope you are well. I was very impressed by what the Creo could achieve on this 100 mile challenge so I pushed it even further on the next ride. 😂 Many thanks for watching and happy riding, take care. ⚡️🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
@@electricbikerider Awesome. I maxed out my Specialized Tero emtb the other week at about 80 miles. It's good to know what you can push them too. Great you are still pushing for more miles. haha Look forward to seeing how far you can take it. Atb Dave
I must admit, the Creo2 comp I have gets used for speed commuting in turbo more than range.
I must try out trying to stretch it!
Hi mrlimey, the Creo v2 looks awesome and I must admit one of the best E-bikes on the market. It must be brilliant commuting all the way in turbo, and yes you should take it on a longer adventure one day. Take care and thanks for watching ⚡️🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
@@electricbikerider keep up the great work, love the chill rides
Dave brilliant mate, superb vlog, loved it
Hi Matt, cheers buddy I really enjoyed that challenge and I appreciate your support. Many thanks for watching and take care. ⚡️🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
Incredible work
Thanks buddy I really enjoyed that ride and I plan on doing another this year. Thanks for watching ⚡️🚴🏻👍🏻
Thank yo fir yoyr videos, please consider more discussions about your range given the different modes, Turbo...etc...If you ride in eco most of the time, why buy an ebike??
Hey Chuck, The way I ride the Creo is, I always put the effort in and keep the bike in eco mode for my outward journey. And then the fun starts and I switch up to Turbo when I’m homeward bound. That way I’m still getting a good workout, and having fun. I hear what you are saying about the different modes, so I will look at this and post in the near future. Many thanks for watching and take care. 🙏🏻⚡️🚴🏻
Nice job! Love watching your videos. Keep it up!
Hi Michelle, thank you for your lovely comment it really does mean a lot to me 🙏🏻 Thanks for watching and take care ⚡️🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
Thank you for the video! Nice ride. But isn’t range dependent on user ability? Someone less fit (me😂) would experience totally different results I imagine.
Hi Dt, You are right the range I can travel will definitely differ from others who is more or less fit than me. Most cyclists would expect a range of 75 miles from the Creo, but remember the more you ride the fitter you get and the further you will travel. Thanks for watching and happy riding ⚡️🚴🏻👍🏻
Great ride and a top speed of 48 mph!
Hi Paul, I have been after that KOM for many years and I just happened to get it on this ride, I’ve been 3rd for many years and it took 48 mph to grab it I guess, and that’s not my fastest speed I’ve hit 😂😂 many thanks for watching and take care. ⚡️👍🏼🚴🏻♂️
@@electricbikerider congrats on the KOM 👍
I think your to fit for the average e-biker lol, with your average of over 16mph you couldn’t have been using the motor for to much of your ride. I’m nearly 60 and not to fit and I’m guessing I could get about 60/70 miles on my Orbea Gain without a range extender, great video though 👍
Hi Sean, E-bikes are awesome but I didn’t need an E-bike I wanted one, because they are so much fun. Yes I do ride above the 16 mph restriction so I’m actually working harder than somebody riding a regular road bike. So my only advantage with my Creo is the hills, and as I live in Devon and the terrain is on average 1000ft per 10 miles it’s the perfect bike for me, as I can now ride more miles in less time, so it’s a win win situation. I also believe you could easily achieve 60/70 miles on your Orbea and even more as you get fitter. Many thanks for watching and happy riding. ⚡️🚴🏻👍🏻
In your 100 miles did you have to use your range extender battery at all? Also am considering buying a used 2020 Turbo Creo SL Carbon with only 410 miles usage. What year is your bike? What should I look out for? Thanks for the info!
Hi Mark, on that ride I rode 100 miles, 50 miles in Eco, 25 miles in sport and 25 miles using turbo and over 5000 ft of climbing. I did however only use 2% of the battery extender which was amazing. I’ve got the 2022 model and I would definitely recommend having remote buttons on the bars as they make charging modes simple and safer. Good luck, the Creo is an awesome bike Thanks for watching. ⚡️🚴🏻👍🏻
Beautiful ride. Two questions. Did you catch and pass that rider you were behind early on? How long did that ride take you. Impressive that you did 100 miles.
Hi Cooper, I can’t honestly remember if I passed that cyclist, I probably did 😁 And moving time was 6h:15min. That was a great day for a ride and the route was excellent. Many thanks for watching and happy riding 🚴🏻♂️
Hi HarvE 🤗 Nice video 🥰 Wow! amazing result!! I think I would have had around 40% left in my 100 mile experiment if I didn't have those headwinds to battle on the last 50 miles - as it was I had 21% left at the end. I used smart mode which gave me 30% assist for the first 50 miles and then it re-callibrated and gave me 50% and then at last 25 miles my phone ran out of juice and my power bank was not cooperating so went into turbo and have mine set at 100% like you!LOL I will do another test soon for sure.
Hi Cycling on plants I hope you are well. The results for that 100 mile test ride really did surprise me. And for sure not to far away from your own experience. I have also done another ride to test the Creo and its battery, with similar mileage but with 8000ft of climbing it was epic, that adventure will be uploaded for next to view. Good luck with your next 100 ride and stay in touch. Many thanks for watching and happy Creo riding. ⚡️🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
@@electricbikerider I just realized that we have different restrictions on our e-bikes here in Canada. I think you have a restriction where the motor cuts out if you go over 15.5 mph. In Canada it's higher at about 20mph so I'm usually pedaling at an average speed of 18-19mph. If I can get a good tailwind and a nice flat section I can totally keep above 22 mph but not for more than 20 minutes or so. I'm going to try this again in more favourable conditions and see what happens.
This is great, how long did that take? Not sure if it says on the display
Hey John, that ride took me about 7 hours, and I fully enjoyed myself. The Creo is an amazing bike and it’s very surprising how far you can travel if you put a bit of effort in as well. Thanks for watching ⚡️🚴🏻👍🏻
It's a great video man, looks like a great bike, I'm getting excited mine arrives on Friday. 🥳
@@johnzee8548 happy riding buddy ⚡️🚴🏻👍🏻
Harvey you have the preset setting a lot lower than I do.
Hi Andrew, I did mess around with the Mission Control motor settings but the presets seem to be fine for me, at the moment anyway. Thanks for watching. ⚡️🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
Awesome video. I've got a Creo 2 coming and it's reassuring to see how much you got out of the battery on your SL.
Hi Dave, the Creo v2 looks awesome buddy and I know you are going to have so much fun as I absolutely love my bike. As you know the battery life really is impressive and great for those all day adventures. Many thanks watching and happy riding. ⚡️🚴♂️👍🏻
Test rode a levo SL 50nm, wasnt impressed with the motor when it cut off at 15mph, wasnt as natural feeling as i thought, wondering what your thoughts are on the new motor
I’m in NZ, and the Creo 2 is classed as an on-road bike here so my assist tops out at 28mph/45kmh. I definitely have no complaints speed wise. I’d be ok with 15 on an MTB; I’d only use the motor on it for self-shuttling really. I guess it depends on what you’re after from the bike.
@@electricbikeriderthanks Harvey, it arrived on Saturday and I’ve only had the chance to do one mixed surface ride so far - but it’s an awesome bike. Delighted with it.
@@megane230f1 I experienced similar issues with my bike when I first got it, but when it went in for its first free service and they installed a firmware update it seems to have sorted that issue out for me. ⚡️🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
Hi, Great video, got my E5 Ally coming next week. Could you let me know what tyres you are running please.
Hi Paul, in this vlog, the tyres I had fitted were the WTB BYWAYS 34c, they are brilliant for road and gravel, a great allrounder. The tyres I’m riding now are the WTB Expanse 32c, these are a lighter faster tyre for road riding but light gravel only. I do have some Specialized pathfinder pro 38c to try in spring so stay tuned buddy. Many thanks for watching and congrats on your new Creo, happy riding. ⚡️🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
Was the motor actually engaged all the time, or did you have periods when you were riding above the cut off level of 25km per hour? If a reasonable amount of time was spent above that speed, then this would exaggerate the claimed range would it not?
Hi Vince, the motor was working most of the time, apart from the descents of course, where I like to go flat out. The Creo did a fantastic job that day because it wasn’t just about travelling 100 miles it also climbed nearly 6000ft and that is amazing, especially as I still had battery power left. Thanks for watching and happy riding. ⚡️🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
How comfortable are the handlebars? I’m used to straight wide bar.
Hi buddy, that’s funny you should ask that because I was looking at the bars myself the other day. They are very comfortable, as there is a rise in the bar that makes you sit up and relax while cycling. Great for all day adventures. Thanks for watching ⚡️🚴🏻👍🏻
Also, what model year is that bike and is it easy to find the extender? Amazing ride results. Just what I’m looking for.
Hi rv my Creo is 2022/23 model, the range extender and cable is available www.tredz.co.uk/e-bike-upgrades?q=specialized+range-extender
It’s well worth having for those bigger rides and longer days in the saddle. ⚡️🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
Nice ride
Hi Buddy thank you and thanks for watching, take care. 🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
If I understand correctly, it appears you could have completed it without the extender battery. Yes?
Hi Bluz, yes definitely I could do that route without the battery extender. You have to put the extra effort in, but it just goes to show what these bikes can do. Thanks for watching ⚡️🚴🏻👍🏻
@@electricbikerider Do you ride much with the assist off? Like on tailwind flats or descents. Thanks!
@@BillyBob-ri9pm hi Billy, As you know the motor stops giving assistance over the 15.5mph restriction. I typically ride around 18mph so the motor assist is off for a lot of my rides. But I do enjoy the assistance with headwinds and on the hills as I can really fly up them, which is so much fun. Thanks for watching and happy riding ⚡️🚴🏻👍🏻
@@electricbikerider That makes sense. On my flat bar (and heavier) Vado SL I averge below 15.5mph but try and ride un-assisted where comfortable. Once I feel the weight & bike feels sluggish I put back on eco. Helps extend battery life I think, that's why I was curious with your excellent battery use on that 100miler. Your aero position and the Creo being fast must help as well. Love the channel!
Great video thanks! How much do you weigh?
Hi, my current weight is 76kg if that helps, thanks for watching ⚡️🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
Nice video in a lovely part of the country. What model of WAHOO GPS are you using?
Hi Kevin, I’m using the wahoo roam v2. The boffins at wahoo worked together with Specialized to deliver a gps that works perfectly with the Creo. It displays all the reading for the Creo’s built in power meter and cadence sensor for example as well as the mode and battery levels and a lot more. I hope that helps and many thanks for watching, happy riding ⚡️🚴🏻♂️
Did those bars come with the bike or did you put them on? They look very nice.
Hi Taskmaxter, the bar is indeed very comfortable and yes they came stock with the Creo. Thanks for watching ⚡️🚴🏻👍🏻
Hi. I have problem with hearth aortha. I can't go more than 146bpm (I can, but can cause dissection in worst scenario, so doctor gave me the limit 80% HR). Can you imagine, that you will be able to stay under 146bpm on this bike? Or your HR will overflow uphills? I know it depends on rider wheigth and so on... I am not able to find any videos focusing this problematic.
Hi Vacaville, sorry to hear about your situation. Obviously I can’t comment on your health issues, but I can certainly try and assist with your concerns. I have done a lot of mountain biking and a friend of mine had a similar issue to you. He would sometimes blackout/faint when out riding. It was because of his hr going dangerously through the roof, and doctors told him to give up the sport he loved. But instead he got himself a E-mtb to take the stain, and although on occasions he still got light headed, the E -bike did help and he’s is still riding today. As for the Creo that I’m riding, you can lower your hr when climbing with the help of the full assistance (turbo) it will still ride and feel the same on the flats as a regular bike and you will still be pushing the same watts etc so you can still get a workout. I wish you all the best and many thanks for watching and take care. ⚡️🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
I'd probably recommend you getting a full (heavy) high-powered e-bike. The Creos are more like good assistance than insane torque and power to get you up hills. The trade-off you you will be a heavier bike, that's all.
Have ordered this for myself! Was against getting an ebike for a while! What’s the max speed you have clocked in this?
Hi Shivraj, the Creo is a fantastic bike and I know you are going to love it. It’s not a free ride which most people think, I’m still burning the same calories and pushing the same watts etc but as I live in a very hilly area of the UK it really does make for a enjoyable ride. My average speed is 18mph on the flat which is lower than my regular bike because of the extra weight and the top speed for the Creo on a nice decent was 54mph. Many thanks for watching and happy riding ⚡️🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
Nice share how far do think you can get without the extender. I just ordered one. So when u plug extender in it goes over 100% so I told u 150%?
Hi Trey, just using the bikes battery and you keep the motor in eco mode I think you should be able to do 90+ miles but may vary a little depending on how hilly the area you are riding. Don’t worry about range anxiety and purchasing a range extender as the bike is brilliant and will do you for most if not all of your rides, just get it later if you need it. Many thanks for watching and enjoy your new bike, happy riding ⚡️🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
What was your average speed over this journey? I ask since I’m trying to understand how it might influence my overall averages these days of 12 mph, in South Northants, where it’s about 1000’ elevation per 10 miles ridden.
Hi, my average speed for this ride was 16.3mph, but you must remember that’s only my average. I may or may not be lighter than other riders or fitter and the weather plays a massive factor in averages, but I do understand your query. If you are interested, all my Strava stats are at the very end of this video which may help you. Devon has the same ratio of climbing and distance as your area so an E-bike like my Creo is the perfect choice. Many thanks for watching and happy riding. ⚡️🚴🏻👍🏻
@@electricbikerider Crikey, so that would have big effect. On my bank balance too…….
@@theSenseOfgroup Hi David, the Creo is expensive but any E-bike will make cycling more enjoyable and fun for someone living in hilly areas like ours. ⚡️🚴🏻👍🏻
How do you find the bike? Was gonna pick up an alu version
Hi Alex, the Creo is a fantastic bike to ride but different to my last lightweight carbon road bike. I do however find I am having much more fun on the E-bike especially climbing the many hills here in Devon. Good luck in your decision and thanks for watching, take care. ⚡️🚴🏻♂️👍🏼
You just told me this bike
Hi buddy, the Creo is a fantastic allrounder bike and I absolutely love it. As you can see in this video the range is very impressive if you put some effort in. Thanks for watching and happy riding ⚡️🚴🏻👍🏻
Hi how much is the bike
Hi Gregory, I think the Specialized Creo is on sale for £3900, there are some good deals around. Many thanks for watching. Happy Christmas. ⚡️🚴🏻♂️🎅🏻
