    Picking an eBike: Gazelle Vs. Specialized

    Hi Newts, I just today sold my Vado 5.0 because I found the riding position too forward for and that set up neck and back aches. I am eyeing a couple of class 3 Gazelles. The 389+ is described as having the "sportive" posture-their most forward, while the Eclipse is "active" (between the...

    Selling 2023 Turbo Vado 5,0 Step Through

    HI There, I love this bike but my neck and shoulders can't tolerate the riding position. Yes, many adjustments and stem change-out with LBS. The geometry just isn't for me.

    To those who ordered an Eclipse, how are you enjoying it? How comfortable is the riding position? Do your arms have to stretch out all the way or is it more of a comfort position? Thanks!

    Has anyone ridden both a Vado 4.0 and a Vado 5.0 and can compare?
