You can adjust your cadence, but it’s not like a manual shift, it’s auto shift, changing the cadence in the TCU is not something you can do quickly , I did like the auto shift, for me it was for casual use, everyone has different needs

I no longer have the bike, I changed to the 22t in 2023, I personally don’t know if I really liked the change, it did stop the ghost pedaling and yes lowers you cadence at the top end, which I seldom ever did. The flip side it also lowered my cadence at all speeds, putting more stress on the...

If you’re close to I-75, there is a dealer in Chattanooga that sells Zen bikes The V3 Roadster R1’s is a excellent bike for the money, torque sensor is very smooth, don’t expect any help after the sale, they will not answer

Would you mind counting the teeth, I pulled the same page up for someone earlier this summer, when he asked the Specialized he was told that was a misprint…. Thanks

So the new model has the 22T cog? can you confirm that, it’s been a debate here since the auto shift came out in 2022 with the 24T…. I changed mine to the 22T last May, just know it will make more than a little difference, ghost pedaling stopped with the 22T and speed over about 25mph or so your...

Consider the Velotric T1 or the T1ST, quality bike for the money, I purchased one for my nephew, 39 lbs with battery, no throttle but rides very natural with the torque sensor. Velotric has excellent after sale customer service and they have dealers nationwide

The model is T1ST, to me a good quality bike for the price and components, a smooth ride with the torque sensor. I’m also impressed with their after sale customer service, bike shipped to New Jersey, customer service said they would find out what was wrong with it. I think if they had a mid...

Seems to be a lot of bad news these day, I wanted to give a shoutout to Velotric. About 3 months ago I bought a bike from them for my nephew, he was riding a really old bike to work every day , about 12 miles round trip, everything was fine for 3 months, one day the display went black, emailed...

Walk mode works well when you suddenly find yourself in deep sand on a 65 lb bike

The belt is adjusted on both sides, the bolts that hold the kickstand is part of the belt tension mechanism, my personal opinion is I would adjust the length of the kickstand and move on, I’ve had mine for over 2 years without issues, even on sand

If you look closely there’s a small slot that you can get a small screw driver in, be careful not to break the tabs at the front side, the covers are made to stay on , so they are tight, if you have a manual it will show with pictures how to remove, or google “how to remove covers on specialized...

They should be the same as my Vado the bolts are behind the black plastic cover for the belt adjustment

Please check you local facebook marketplace. I found this bike 30 miles from my house used once for $500 probably take less this time of year and would give you a chance to test ride, I thought I wanted a drop bar bike, but I knew 30 seconds after I tried one that it was definitely not for me

I do not have any experience on the folders like many riders here, we buy a lot of stuff from Amazon, but a ebike wouldn’t be one of them, if you cannot buy from a local bike shop, then the mentioned Iectric or the Ride1up Portola are good choices for a bit higher cost, well worth it in my...
