Turbo Vado 3

[BlackHand]

Which model has the headlight on the fork crown, the first picture?

The 4.0 comes with a regular Lezyne headlight, and normal looking handlebar.
The 5.0 has the light integrated in the front of the 1 piece stem/handlebar.
The 6.0 comes with the front rack and headlight mounted on the rack.

The 4.0 is about 5 lbs lighter than the 6.0. I guess the front rack, dropper post, and cafe lock account for most of that 5 pound difference.

My, what a big stem you have!

The styling/color choices are interesting

Chunky ol number isn't it? Whiff of Riese & Muller about its chunkiness.

What's with the boy racer bright red brake calibers?!

Makes them look expensive.

All it's missing is some 70s style go faster stripes.

Brembo makes bicycle brakes now! I don't think these are Brembos though.

Oh interesting. But no, looked it up SRAM metallic red, for some reason:

68.9lbs in weight, medium. Do not want to run out of juice or carry up stairs!

The stem is still custom It holds the big colour display. The proprietary stem here would be a no-go for me.

It is no replacement for my Vado 6.0 in any way. If I wanted to still upgrade my trusty Roadrunner, I would upgrade it to the electronic Wheeltop derailleur. My brother says: "You need one e-bike that would always work!", so no, no changes

Toldya I need no comfort. I need sport!

Looks like the EVO 4 and 5 has a smaller chainring (40t). I wonder if they are limited to 20MPH just because it looks like you would spin out before getting to 28mph (40tx11t).

Hmmm maybe not... I wouldn't want to be pushing 100 cadence going 28mph though.

The proprietary stem is also a dealbreaker for me.

What, does Spesh think that we all need the same stem length and extension, and this is the best we can do?

Seems like a giant step backwards. Don't build fancy displays into components and then make them proprietary. You lose a significant share of the market that way.
