Thanks for the kindly offer but it’d be a hassle for you to send one to me. I’d been in your neck of the woods a while back on my way to a brewer game but no plans to be back down until next year. They’re only about $50 so I’ll just order one.

Thanks so much for all the helpful replies. I’m going to start with the Beam and see how that goes. If it makes me too nervous I’ll go with a Thule or Kuat and sell my Hollywood. I did also just hear of a rack called 1UP that works with a low step. So a number of choices. Thanks again.

Definitely the most affordable way to go. I’ll have to read some reviews and see what people have to say. Thanks.

I did look into that. But overall I think I probably need to make a change. Plus I have a likely buyer for my Vado. Thanks for the thought though.

I currently ride a Vado 4.0 SL with a top bar. Because of mobility issues and age I need a low step and am looking at the Trek Verve. It just dawned on me that my Hollywood bike rack with ratchet shepherd hook for the top bar won’t work. Wondering if anyone out there has a Trek Verve+4s and what...

Thanks for the clarification. For me I’ll probably look at increasing the ease only when I’ve also increased the power.

let’s say I set a tuning preset to 35 power and 35 ease. And as an option I leave the power at 35 but change the ease to 70. Will I have more battery usage as I increase ease.

That is absolutely fantastic. What a wonderful video. I’m definitely going to try that out on my SL today. Thank you so much. And your English is great.

Wasn’t aware of a dropper seat post. I’ll look it up. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Gives me confidence in considering the ST on a Vado. I do see a lot of low steps on the road. But prefer the ST frame style as shown in the photo you attached. But I’m intrigued by your ability to get on and off a regular Vado SL step over without swinging...

With swinging my leg over the saddle on my 2020 Vado 4.0 SL becoming more difficult, I’m thinking of moving into a Vado Step Through. But the Vado ST looks more like a mid step. I’m wondering if those of you who have a Vado ST are actually able to step on and off the bike without swinging your...

When I bought my unequipped SL in June 2020 the first thing I did was remove the saddle. Of course this meant snipping the wires on the taillight and storing them in the seat post. As you can see I bought a new saddle and the Kinect suspension seat post. Probably the single best change I made...

I’ve had my Vado 4 SL (unequipped ) for about 2 months now and nearly 500 miles. I absolutely love the bike and have no regrets. One of my biking partners has the regular more powerful Vado 4 so I had an opportunity to ride his bike several times. Our rides are primarily on scenic bike trails...

I’ve been wondering what it means when it’s suggested you should charge to 100% occasionally to balance the battery. I mean how often is occasional. Then I read your post. So I’m like 76. The battery might well outlast me whatever I do. I’ll still observe good battery maintenance practices. But...
