I really do. It was a good call for me not to pursue the vado option. Except the mudguards - but those will be organised.

Hi all Just to follow up. I bought a 2021 turbo levo comp. I am very happy with the bike. I am happy that I got an eMTB (rather than a vado) for commuting. Jumping on and off our pavements etc is a lot easier with the full suspension etc. Whilst I am going overseas only next year, I have...
