Excellent weight distribution, it’s all kept low and centered on the frame and the bike balanced well when lifting from the center (as I weighed it).Incredibly stealthy design… this thing genuinely looks like an analog bicycle because the motor casing is so compact and the battery is completely internalized, there are no big LCD displays to distract or cause glare, and the LED readouts on the TCU interface can be disabled using the Mission Control app.No compromises here, I love that the frame has provisions for bottle cages on the downtube and seat tube, and that there are mounting points for fenders and a rear rack.The Comp Carbon and Comp Carbon EVO both come in multiple colors and six frame sizes, the main differences for the EVO gravel grinder setup are flared handlebars, wider treaded tires, and a seat post dropper… which crates a weight difference of roughly 1.9lbs (31.6lbs for the Comp Carbon EVO vs.The main battery can be removed with help from your local shop, so the bike could be ridden non-electric, and you can travel with it on airplanes… running off of the Range Extender battery pack only (which is ~160 watt hours and legal for carryon luggage for most commercial flights).The new Specialized SL (Super Light) motor system is very impressive… not only is it compact and lightweight at just 4.3lbs, it actually provides good power, can operate above 120 RPM so you can pedal fast in low gears without losing support, and it functions as a Class 3 motor supporting top speeds of 28mph very capably.I welcome your corrections, additions, and feedback in the comments below and the Specialized electric bike forums.
