    Turbo Vado SL 2 6.0 - turns itself on when off and unattended

    It's been about six weeks since I got the bike back. Time was off once about a month ago and bike turned itself on and time was wrong yesterday. Damn!

    Turbo Vado SL 2 6.0 - turns itself on when off and unattended

    Got the bike back yesterday with a new version 2 H3 TCU and motor. Shop said it's been keeping the date right for a week and a half. I'll check to be sure but that issue is likely fixed. New motor is quieter but not silent like my old Turbo Como 3.0. Only rode the bike for 3 miles so not...

    Specialized drop prices in North America for Levo range. Permanent drop due to competitive market.

    Since this is a thread about Spec dropping prices, I recently saw SL2 5.0 on sale for $1600 less on the USA website, 4.0 were $800 off IIRC. I mentioned this to the store owner when I dropped off my new 5.0 today, he was miffed that he had to eat the discount on inventory he bought before the...

    Turbo Vado SL 2 6.0 - turns itself on when off and unattended

    Dropped off the bike today. The mechanic offered to swap the TCU while I waited. While waiting I talked to the store owner about my noise complaint - he suggested I try another SL2 on the floor. I did and it was a lot quieter. I played him a recording of my bike’s noise I made by attaching my...

    A bit of news: LBS just said spec confirmed time is only stored in the H3 display. They are sending a new V2 version and want my old one back to analyze.

    How Often And How Long Are Class 3 E-Bikes Traveling At More Than 20 MPH?

    I had a class 1 bike (turbo como 3.0) and now a class 3 (turbo Vado SL2). Both have same motor power and I find I ride about there same speed. - 12 to 18 mph depending on my mood and traffic. On some MUPs I get passed by acoustic road bikes going much faster. A related question: has anyone...

    Turbo Vado SL 2 6.0 - turns itself on when off and unattended

    I check my bike every morning. If the clock is wrong I connect to the app and that resets the time. In the 24 days I've had my bike back from the LBS, bike turned itself on 3 times, clock has been wrong 9 days, right 16 times. Once when the bike turned itself on the clock was right, twice it...

    Turbo Vado SL 2 6.0 - turns itself on when off and unattended

    After nearly 2 weeks, LBS found a loose connection between headlight and wire harness. Took the bike home last Thursday (5/14), clock is still wrong every morning, no auto turn on or error messages yet. Repairing with phone/Specialized app resets correct time. LBS is conferring with...

    Turbo Vado SL 2 6.0 - turns itself on when off and unattended

    About a 6 weeks ago LBS replaced display, thumb switch and associated wires. (all one part). Worked perfect until this week, one auto turn on, several days of clock display wrong and a motor error asl2-m-20992 which says communication between tau and motor briefly interrupted. Sounds like a...
