This looks like a sweet setup. Is the internal battery removable so I can take it on a plane in a bike case and then run it on just Range Extender batteries at my destination? Does lack of internal battery compromise frame strength or any other performance characteristics in such a scenario?
If it is the same as the Levo SL you should be able to. In the Levo, you unbolt the forward motor mounts and let the motor swing away. Then the battery can be removed.
I have a Creo 1 in the UK with a 15mph limit and its pointless if you are even moderately fit, I have gone back to an old school manual bike and I am faster!!!, these are probably great in the US @ 28mph limit, but in the UK dont wate your money
If you move to the US can you get an upgrade from a shop? If so you might get lucky and request an update remotely? (Laptop remote session). Worth looking into IMO. Agree 15 is stupid.
@@b-manz I was returning from my 52 mile regular route with 85% of the battery remaining, but I then realised that I was riding a heavier way more expensive bike (both to buy and maintain) for no benefit as I was nearly always on or above the assist limit and not using the motor, so I switched riding the same route on an old school steel framed road bike with 2x8 and rim brakes and I was slightly faster. I havent ridden the Creo since and its up for sale. The Creo may be of some use to some people in very hilly areas but for me its completely pointless. Also even unassisted you are still wearing the bearings in the £1000 motor, on my old steel road bike a bottom bracket is £20 and I can replace it myself, I am definately not impressed with this bike at all, oh and I have had 2 TCU failures (the control panel) in the first 6 months both replaced under warranty which is ok when you have a warranty but not good after the two year mark
Cool dirt bike
This looks nice~
When will these be available again?

Nope it's not removable.

Isn’t the purpose of this to get sales? Why can’t I get one now? I need the 61 cm or whichever is the largest.
Quietest motor system? Sure?
It’s way, way quieter than I expected. The only time I really notice it is in Sport when climbing. Other than that it’s practically unnoticeable.

I'd like one but jesus christ, they're expensive. Like twice the price of an ultegra roubaix.
I’ve got the Creo 2 Comp. It was worth it, and then some. It handles terrain the Roubaix can’t with relative ease.
Prefer the Vanmoof bike
Didn’t they have a bankruptcy issue?
Not even slightly comparable bikes.
I prefer my unicycle
