The Vado SL was surprisingly easy to flip upside-down. But it might be just as easy to keep the bike upright if you prop it against a tree. Probably a separate discussion...

The irony is that my partner says she didn't really notice the flat because of the power from the bike! She did notice a slight lack of control. When we looked at the tire having gotten back home, it was completely flat. Completely. Rim seems ok though.

Thanks. I'll definitely double check the new tube before going for a long ride!

Sorry to hear! Sounds like a lemon. Did you consider trading it in for a replacement? We got two SL 4.0’s and love them. I can get up to 22mph pretty easily and sustain 24~26 mph - but find that about 17mph is nice and leisurely. What I Ike most about these is how easy it is to ride them...

Good point and yes I did that.

Well I did it on my own, but it wasn't easy so I thought I'd impart some of my experience, particularly as it relates to this bike - which we love! Check to see where the Flat is We were a bit surprised at the flat tire in the first place. Couldn't find anything in the tire itself so as a first...

Yes it's optional. I don't really need all those stats, just interested in viewing my GPS as I navigate the best bike routes in my city. I've ordered a Quadlock setup for my iPhone.

The bike came with a small device on the middle of the handlebar. Is this for mounting a phone?

Does it upload to MC? And to Strava? Also does it deliver the information real time - so that I can watch it on MC or Strava while I am riding?

I don't like skinny seats, but don't ride much either. Was sore after the first ride, fine after that. I actually like the seat and the hollowed-out contour down the middle. Pleasantly surprised (SL 4.0, here)

Could you post a screenshot of how your Polar OH1 pops up on MC - and also explain how you set it up to do that? I'm very interested. Thanks. Also does the data post over to Strava?

Anyhow, I'm enjoying the bike so much on "0" that each time I switch to any power at all, I feel like I'm on the moon. My partner and I just love these bikes.

I tuned to the settings in the video above. But honestly, I prefer using 0 on the flats then 1 or 2 on mild hills just to allow me to keep the same speed. I tend to average about 10mph on a ride which includes pausing along the way. Note: As a runner without previous knee issues, the first...

Looks like we crossed posts. I'm not seeing those features on my Turbo Levo.

Looks like Acceleration Response and Shuttle are either not available in the app, or for the Turbo Vado series (do you have the Turbo Vado, or the Turbo Vado SL?). I have set my controls pretty much the same as in the video and then made a few updates. Here are my settings: 1 10% Support, 35%...
