I always charged to 100% anyway but since I got my Vado firmware updated I see 80% available so I am just testing it out. Oh for the record I did toggle it off rode a few miles and toggled it back on, shut off the bike and charged it. It stopped at 80%.

Yup, the workaround works. I could care less about the shortcomings of Specialized. I've been working with Unix and high-level language development since 1985. Business people never listen to reason.

It just happened to me again. I’ll post if it doesn’t work again.

I hope you find one. I have one on my Vado and it is extremely useful plus it puts the headlight in a much better position to illuminate the road.

Crazy I just got it working again. I turned off the 80% toggle and saved it as a profile. Then I loaded the default profile back and charged to 100% rode until the battery was at 40% and then before charging I loaded the previous profile and turned on the 80% limit again. It worked.

This has happened to me. It charged to 80% maybe 9 times... then 100% and I went out and ride until it was about 4%. Since then it charges to 100% every single time no matter how many times I change the 80% toggle on and off. I hope it starts eventually working again because it was a great feature.

Install the bracket with one washer and before you decide how many washers to use... look and see if it is pointing straight. Mine was off and I was able to get it pointing straight in a few tries. It being straight is paramount to getting the headlight to be straight and the rack portion is...

Oh my lbs offered to update the motor, battery, and tcd firmware this morning too. Now the bike seems much smoother in turbo… not less powerful just better at sensing my effort or lack there of. I am looking forward to seeing how the 80% charge works out.

So I was told simply don't worry about it unless I care about cosmetics. Apparently whenever they get in Specialized turbo e-bikes a mechanic actually installs that screen protector and he told me it's just to stop scratches on the real screen and not to prevent water from getting in. He did...

Thanks so much, I will take it in!

Thanks I am looking forward to hearing how it turns out for you. Outside of this issue, I have almost 4000 miles on my VADO 4.0 with flawless performance.

Wondering if anyone has any idea what glue or how the gorilla glass is attached (maybe similar to fixing a smart phone??). It's gotten a bit worse and I would like to try to just fix it. My VADO is my only method of transportation and I would really not like to drop it off at my LBS then walk...

I tried that and it made it worse. Thanks for the info.

Do you know if I can just replace the display, wire it back up, and it will just work, or do I really need to take it to the LBS?

They do have a hole at the top that is used as a handle (I carry mine into stores like a basket) you could put a cable through that when it is installed on the bike.
