Maybe this is just a us thing but specialized buys local Bike stores, so people there are just their employees. Works great for the customer imo, but accessories are very pricey. Thats what Amazon is for I guess!

I’d draw them both all the time. Less load on the small battery

Drawing from both in parallel is best for battery life. Plus the store mechanic told me the large battery can have issues if the small battery is used first

I'm going to ask corporate.... It's not a good situation for them, since they sold it as a 2024 model when it was actually a 2022, with the bill of sale saying 2024. Just want more warranty because of age.

The only reason model year matters to me is battery age i know from many years exp that lithium ion batteries degrade over time even sitting on the shelf Or showroom floor I’m going to ask specialized for a warranty extension

Guess I can go as low as 37 psi will wait til next year before I swap out tires. I’m spinning g the rear tire going up loos gravel hills

I went to the specialized website and they did not have 2024 Vado SL for sale so I’m guessing my LBS, which is owned by Specialized, just made a mistake

That is excellent. What bike and batteries do you have?

Well thats awfully good. Not having it with my Vado SL yesterday on my birthday I biked 21 miles with 1100 feet of elevation gain, adjusted rider power of 93 watts. had 42% battery left I was exhausted ! Maybe I will improve. Maybe not ordered the bottle battery a few days ago and can’t...

Dude that’s a lot of extending!

That’s how I feel. But do I feel it for $500? Haha

for those who have bought the range extender, are you actually glad you did and how is it useful to you? In the hills of central PA in. Vado SL and getting Around 30 miles per charge most of the time in maximum boost. Maybe I can trim back to sport mode eventually was thinking about buying the...
