Our clocks changed this weekend and the time on my bike was still wrong. Or technically it was even "wronger" since the clocks changed in the other direction.

The clock on my Vado 2.0 was off by an hour this morning. I haven't ridden in a week or two, so I don't know how/when it changed. These bikes don't automatically reset for daylight saving, do they? And if so, have other parts of the Earth already moved their clocks? (Pardon me for being...

I bought this bike stand a few months ago. I love it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D9B7OKQ

That's HUGE news. Good luck!

*WE* got screwed.

I do, but it was too dark outside to mess with it. I never would have figured it out in the dark. I assumed the pedals went on like the rest of my bikes (end wrench), but these have a big hex socket on the inside of the pedal. I wouldn't have seen that and I don't think the short Allen wrench in...

I've been sick for a while and haven't been using my bike to commute to work. I took a nice long ride earlier in the week though, so today felt like a good day to get back into the healthy routine. I got a couple miles from home and my left foot felt funny. It was still dark out, so I had to...

Why would there be a class action lawsuit? Because their website advertised the app and their dealers said it was "coming soon". Even Specialized's phone support staff confirmed that it was supposed to come out "next quarter" at the beginning of the year. It's been a billion years since I took...

My contact at my LBS told me that Specialized is offering a firmware update for Vado 2.0 that will change the motor limit from 19mph to 27mph. We'll take my wife's bike in as soon as we can.

I had a similar experience, but not the same high speeds. Specialized replaced the bike with a new one.

I found one that I'm really happy with. It has a nice large field of vision and isn't in the way. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076V6F6LR/

I bought these mirrors from Amazon recently. I installed the right mirror upside down on my left side so I can look down under the bars to see behind me (instead of looking at a reflection of my arm on the top). This gives me a good view of traffic behind me. It's great when I'm riding with...

Everything is identical to my old bike, except it has a higher cutoff for the pedal assist. It's pretty puzzling, but I can't complain.

About two weeks ago my LBS presented me with my new/replacement bike. There had been some warranty issues and Specialized very kindly totaled the bike and gave me a new one. I noticed right away that the new one didn't seem to cut out at 19mph like the old one did. I didn't think too much of...

I'm really surprised there hasn't been a class action by now.
