Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted June 24, 2021 Share #5 Posted June 24, 2021 Assist up to 28 mph. 120 mile range, 2.5 hours charging time. Weighs about the same as my steel gravel bike (28-30 lbs). $6,000 for that model I believe but you could get the S-Works version for $14,000.

I've wanted to go grocery shopping for small amounts on my bike but every approach to a supermarket - except one - requires traveling on high-speed roads with no shoulder or bike lane and too long a stretch on the road.

I miss CA and CO, and am happy to be able to get some rides in locally for a change. But, we are now in phase 3 (or 4 or 15) of the estate settlement process, so once this VA property is listed and sold, we can do a payout. Then we can decide next steps. But, damn, it is near impossible for me to think of a better "daily" ride than one that parallels the ocean and is 60o-75o normally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For $4k or less you could get an Orbea or Cannondale that weighs much less. The S-Works is almost $15k and 30lbs vs a 26lb Orbea for $4k. This seems to be overstated: The Turbo Creo SL isn’t just the lightest e-bike of its kind—it’s, literally, pounds lighter than the competition.

But assist to 28 vs 20 is a real thing for some commuters. That guy easily rolled past me above 20 mph, and when things flatten out hitting 28 easily is what sells these bikes to the masses.
