The feeling is that when the motor cuts off, pedaling becomes much, much harder. Suddenly it is again only you, but much slower. In Poland this is only 25 km/h so naturally you are reaching this limit very quickly and then you feel something that you don’t want to feel as if someone robbed you from a great fun you had (now I know better what my 3 years old son feels when I try to stop him watching the cartoons on his tablet). The first one is the law that forbids electric bike to support you above a certain speed. But at the same time this wonderful experience is, like I said, very limited because of two things. Riding at the limit of your possibilities on narrow forest road is something you will be very quickly addicted to (it is somehow like riding a rally car on a rally stage).

You are riding faster and you ride fast constantly which demands, dare to say, full attention and this is what makes this wonderful, thrilling experience.

I think the most enchanting thing is the ability to accelerate with truly unbelievable pace.

Yet the power it delivers, especially in the highest level of assistance is more than enough to magically transfer your rides from enjoyable to wonderful ones. Specialized Creo is not the most powerful electric gravel bike out there (a modest 240W that Specialized is advertising as power of 2x you). If I needed to use one sentence to describe the experience of riding an electric gravel bike from Specialized I would say that it is WONDERFUL, but at the same very LIMITING one.
