One day I'll ride out West! I'm in Alabama.

Where do you ride? If I'm ever riding in your area, I'll swing by and get that drink! LOL. I really appreciate your shout out! I'm just glad we got it figured out. The issue was about a five month ordeal that had the LBS and myself going out of our minds during the fall riding season.

August seems to be the problem month. It's about when my problems began, too. Started on a hill climb, but after that there didn't really seem to be a discernible pattern.

Glad it seems to be remedied! It's crazy, but I'm glad it may be fixed. Mine worked fine until about August. Then every ride with would do it randomly with no discernible pattern. Sometimes while going up hills. Sometimes while off the bike just standing there.

I have the Vado SL 5.0 EQ. I am currently 270lbs (122kg), which is just at the top end of rider weight range for the bike. It has plenty of power to help me up hills. I really love the bike, and I, unfortunately, paid full price. They've come way down on the site (if you can find your size in...

How have the rides been going since the app update? So far mine has continued to function properly since the new app update. I've ridden with the range extender, which we initially thought could be the problem. Looks like Specialized had some kind of bug with the old version of the app.

Let me know how it goes! Like I said, I'm not 100% sure it won't pop back up, but my LBS has spent a lot of time trying to diagnose the issue, and they still haven't nailed it down (if the app update wasn't ultimately the fix). They even had a specialized rep in town for a cycling event who...

Yes, it's v1.10.0 build 980 on my app, and the app is black now. They changed the whole layout, and from what I can tell, you cannot setup a heart rate sensor through the app. You have to do it manually on the bike by holding down + and -. However, after that update, my Vado hasn't had any...

(Edited) Yes. One thing that we did was replace the range extender cable. The original had a slight cut. The bike still cut out, so my LBS and I) began trying rides without the range extender. It worked for several rides, but after about three, it cut out again. However, with the last app...

Towards the end of August, my assist started cutting off during rides. The computer stays on, but assist drops to the no assist level on the computer. It even beeps to indicate it has dropped out. Several trips to the LBS, and they're still working on the problem. A specialized rep was in town...

Yowzas! That sucks! I'm sorry, but after visiting Vancouver this summer, I'd say at least its beautiful up there!

Sorry about that! It is strange how they choose to offer discounts in certain countries and not others. I'd imagine most of the batteries are assembled in another country and then shipped to various other places. Seems like the net would be about the same unless they ship them to specialized in...

I picked up an RE for $300 USD and the cable for $30 from Sierra Bicycle Supply, who appears to be a Specialized dealer. When I got my bike around Christmas, I didn't really search for any REs since I was dropping money on the bike, and the ones I saw were the regularly priced $450. Do the...

I wish! I have a 2022 Vado 5.0 SL EQ.

I am guessing that's going to be my best option. I made it all the way to 95% last night before it crashed again. Before that, 30% was the highest number.
