Actually, it's not bad; looks like the Tero X highest gear ratio is slightly higher than the second highest one on the Vado. I need to do some riding without using the highest gear and see how this would impact me. I live in a hilly area so not necessarily pedaling much going down hill and using...

What speed do you comfortably reach on the road (flat), at ~75 cadence? I am riding a Vado 4.0, I alternate between road and trails (today's trail was quite rocky and challenging); could definitely use more suspension but I am not sure I am willing to sacrifice the speed at the highest gear.

The test is just to deflate your rear tire :) or even better, you can just take my word for it. I wish the bike would stay upright with just the kickstand, that would be helpful when taking the rear wheel off for a repair, but that's just not the case.

the second flat was just a consequence of my poor job fixing the first one :) (or a limitation of the Park Tool GP-2 stickers that don't seem to last long term if overlapping a seam on the tube). I don't ride every day and it seems it was leaking slow enough for me not to notice it until...

I confirm, the bike tipped both times away from the kickstand. I like the creativity around here to prove this hypothesis; for those with the same bike, an easy test would be to just fully deflate your rear tire 😂 You will notice that you won't be able to keep the bike staying upright with the...

I just got my second flat tire since getting the bike last fall, both undetected until I find my bike laying down on the floor of my garage. Apparently, a flat tire in the back will cause the bike to fall while on kickstand. Makes me rethink how to store my bike, do you guys not use the...

Thanks guys, this all makes sense, and good to observe that the peak mechanical power does match the stated specs

I am looking at my ride on https://ride.specialized.com/en/activity/ride-history This is one example here when moving the cursor: rider power 156W, motor power 612W

I am the new owner of a Vado 4.0, and looking back at the data on my first few rides, I am trying to reconcile the observed data with what I expected from marketing material, reviews and such. For example, I keep reading that the motor on Vado 4.0 peaks at 470-520W depending on the sources...

Look at the iPhone 14, It's got emergency SOS via satellite built in You can then also use the built in Find My for location tracking or many other apps that offer the same thing.
