Thanks for the support! - Jak na to + styl
you would like the 28mph US bike. I freaking love it.
Yep that bike is waaaaaaay faster in Merica bro 😎
You can derestrict these (just YT derestricted Creo). Battery life and range will take a nose-dive though. I'm sure Specialized will catch on at some point.
I pick up mine this weekend. Excited. Caught a sale. Dove grey Creo SL comp. Keeping my 21 Emonda for the group rides.
I just bought the turbo creo SL E5 (the aluminum model) and I love it. I am 72 years old and was trying to ride with some young marines and could not keep up. Now with this I can keep up and have fun!
Legit review 👍🏻
Thanks for the opportunity 🤟🤟🤟
Just got one of these in the States. This thing is fast as fuck. People think E-bikes are just for old guys. They're not. I'm a former racer and I go faster solo than in a pack. I'm averaging fucking 26mph on the flats. It's so much fun.
For the money you'd prefer more power? I think the cost is due to the quality and material used in its construction and the components used. The power is perfect for the great majority of people and most program it for a lot less than its maximum, for good reason(s).
Dr, if you are looking for a cheap and easy to find and fix parts, just get decathlon cheap 105 spec gravel bike and put a bafang mid drive kit on it !
Like me
The motor on my wife's bike shit itself at 8k/2.5 years and the dealer said that was a good life??? $800 replacement and to replace the battery was another $1,000. Also something people don't figure on is a mid motor puts that extra power strain on chain and sprockets. Initially good, very expensive eventually.
Just a question; Do you notice the power drop off when you ride past the speed limiter?
buddy on an mtb flex spoke of ur positive YT influence despite never viewing DR so we clicked & what a beautiful coincidence to see you finding my celeste goggles like a true champion *ThankYou* i really loathe losing ish eSPESHYLy when I'm getting carted off by Le Ambo bless'm but hey THAT was my third roadie fLecks after at least a couple decades of exclusively trackbike descenté :-) #wheeLshowem
Nice vid pal
Dude, you're freakin' HILARIOUS! "You don't want a cat piss bent rear hanger..." LMFAO.
Can u do a vid on the return of Essena O'Neill ?
battery lasts long because it can't go faster than 25km/h assisted
Yao Hong: The U.S. version assists to 45 km/h (28 mph). The battery lasts because there's no throttle, the motor is 25% more efficient than other bicycle motors, and it's all programable as a percent of assist wanted.
Perhaps you’d prefer a motorbike then?
GRX is the shit, ride it on my daily
You’d like the Kiwi market model as well. 45kph.
I remember getting the KOM up Norton summit under 10 minutes and I think 35km/h. Just on my dads cheap e-Bike 250w with downhill mountain bike tires which were flat, its 30kg and its only like 20Nm of Torque. We just chipped it to take the 25km/h limiter out of it. The ride got flagged straight away. He sold that bike and we are now onto a much more powerful and lighter bike, im sure I could hold 45km/h up norton with little effort.
What ebike is your fav at the moment?
@@durianriders The motor brand on the 2 bikes i talked about in previous comment is call BionX, they are no longer a company, they chew the battery and the power comes in un-naturally. Ive used bafung and tested shimano, Bosch and specialized motors.
The motors in the Specialized bikes is by far the best, they feel like you are still riding a bike and the power matches well to what you put in. And on turbo you get plenty of torque up the hills also yea the battery life is a huge 1, also no big electronic controller up front is the best way to go. Im mostly taking on the mountain bike side, never tester the road versions though. Specialized now have a few motors across their line of bikes and the lighter motors put out less power, but I think why save weight, just get the more powerful motor then gradually reduce wait later down the track with components
@kurtis I disagree with your assessment of the Bionx. I have been riding the D500 motor on a surly ogre frame since 2016 around Perth, WA. Same 48v battery. 10,000km. The torque sensor is superb coupled with the brushless hub motor so it’s completely silent. Bionx went out of business because they were over engineered and built in Canada which obviously wasn’t economical plus the investors were ailing old millionaires who lost interest.
@@minethegap Hey, I wasnt talking bad about it. We have had a e-eagle 250w and now a OHM mountain that we imported from Canada to Australia 500w which is not allowed. Took months and months to get because we knew its 1 of the smoothest motors around. But yes in some ways I like the torque sensor, you can put out less RPM and the motor assists you heaps, but I always find im in the hardest gear to get that torque sensor working, the bike feels more like a an 'electric bike' rather than an assisted bike. Durianrider would probably love it for motor pacing because it boosts up steady climbs and is completely silent. Where it lacks big time is slow steep hills, just doesn't have enough torque in my opinion. Trust me I have so much fun on the Bionx, when it comes to long rides it also suffers, especially in full power the battery doesn't last long and takes a really long time to recharge.
I love the specialized motor, lots of torque, battery is solid, quiet enough and feels very much like a normal bike just assisted.
10:03 so fucking true
Pretty true, they literally promote that some sports cars that have a top speed of 300km/h and there is nothing holding you back from doing that on public roads, why is that not limited...
I had't thought of it like that before but DR makes a really good point!
Damn Harley doing e bike disc brake in 2021 u ok bro?
Great Bike for the Value
Did you make up with Specialized? Did they send you this bike to review?
ahahaha!!! hype bro 😎
Shouldn't you go up the mountain 25 km/h flat? The bike has a 240 Watt motor + your wattage. 500 Watts system power, shouldn't be no problem.
Is the climb that steep?
Steep climb into a headwind
Ebikes are heavy so not as fast as you would expect uphill
Powerfully gusty winds that day
They’re not really marketed for speed
Barrister bike 😀
Hey DR, i just bought one of these Turbo SL in Oregon. I can go four times as far in a day and still come back by dinner time to help my Father, Epic AF.
i am not suprised you found your friend's sunnies, good on u mate.
Why are the cars driving on the wrong side of the road 16:00?
iKR ..... It's a gamble up there
Australia mate drive in the shade.
Can u do a Dr sebi video ...love to hear your opinion
Dude taught mád orthorexia 😂
Yeh thanks ....makes sense
That's some smooth legs
Bro they have that shitty rule her in the uk . So much for a green commute when they lift that law . My car will be down the road till then burn fossil fuel burn
If the motor is Yamaha or Shimano you're good to go for a long time to come, if it's bosch you're fucked.
I averaged 24km/h on my trek fx3 $1200. Hahaha
IMPOSSIBLE to do 24kph on a stock FX3 up Greenhill haha but on the flat yes I know what you mean.
OK, I must be getting old. Watching a video on an e-bike? Durianrider = clickbait. ;)
Add more racey tyres, your running dome CX touring tyre which would roll poorly.
These are the future. Such a misunderstood category.
If I was feeling fatigued I’d reach for it instead of having a day off =more saddle time and fitness.
Further refinement and a drop in prices will come. A power meter is a must to ensure an equivalent workout to a non ebike. A detachable battery ideally.
I’d detrestrict to a 30-32 kph with an after market device.
Problem is the prices never seem to come down these days.
timbo: It has a power meter integral to this bicycle and uses ANT+ which can be picked up by any of the current bicycle computer/gps units.
ebikes are cheating, what the point of being fit or pushing yourself to be stronger
I averaged about 300w for 20 mins. Got a killer workout.
It's cheating if you use an ebike to beat a rider in a comp who is on a normal bike and don't disclose that.
Your comment misses a LOT of context 😂.
Ebikes ARE the future and I'm stoked about that. Means more bikes to race up climbs. If you ain't motor pacing you will NEVER be your fittest.
@@durianriders Yes, trying to go after peoples KOMs/leaderboard on eBike
@@durianriders Watch all your vids and love them next vid would be great if you can give advise on how to climb better on 15%+ grades
You know I deleted this ride right and it was just done for comparitive context? 🤟
15% grades typically are slower speeds so to maintain optium cadence of around 90RPM you need better gear ratios. For me the 46/30 absolute black rings with a 30 or 40 up back is great for pretty much anything out there.
E-bikes 🙄 Please leave.
i hate e-bikes
Then why u here?
No one cares about your opinion.
