Thanks for the explanation. I had the LBS replace the OE 700x38 Nimbus II Sport tires (2190 mm circumference) with 700x42 Pathfinder Sport tires (2216 mm circumference). I doubt that they changed the circumference stored in the TCU. Because of the tire change, I calculate that, all other...

I got my Vado SL 4 in March of this year. On the Specialized app Bike Status page, in the Motor section, there is an odometer reading of 825.3 km. This distance is greater that reported on the app's Recorded Bike Activity page (684 km) because I didn't, or forgot to, use the Specialize app to...

I've ridden about 100 km since the chain incident. So far, so good.🤞🏻

I'll keep your suggestion in mind, should this become a recurrent problem.

I think you've put your finger on it. The chain was very dirty when the incident(s) occurred, so maybe that was why the chain came off. I wasn't aware (until now) of the design of the Praxis chainring, so paid no attention to that when putting the chain back. It seems likely that on my third...

My Vado SL 4, with about 520 km on the odo, has been trouble-free, until my last ride. I was on a soft, wood chip path, in my granny gear (i.e., 42T rear cog). FWIW, I was in Sport mode. When the path turned to mud, I dismounted and turned the bike around by lifting the front wheel off the...

My wife and I went shopping for Vado SL 4.0 EQs last March. I'm about 5'7"/1.7m, so a medium is right for me. She's about 5'/1.52m, so "small" is the ideal size for her. The LBS (Woodcock Cycle Works) had one SL 4.0 EQ in stock: a medium step-through. It fit me fine. In order for her to do a...

My wife and I bought Vado SL 4.0 EQs from the LBS in March. There was no "model year" specified for either bike. Hers (a medium step-through) had been in the dealer's stock since at least July, 2023 (when we first started shopping for ebikes). It was built in Taiwan on August 26, 2021. Mine (a...

The overall length of my medium w/700x42 tires is 71"(181cm) or roughly 6 ft.

My wife and I started looking for Turbo Vado 4.0 SL EQs (a medium step-over for me and a small step-through for her) last summer. None were available in Canada. I was able to order a medium step-over in February. There still are no small step-throughs, and no information when/if any will be...
