    It’s not just bikes, I think back to how many times I’ve had issues with televisions cellphones computers washer dryer and my cars and trucks with software issues,, me personally I’m glad I could get ride care on the phone for 30 minutes to get me through it

    Vado SL 6.0 won’t connect to the app

    There is something you can try before the factory reset….make sure the auto lock is off, remove the bike from the app ( 3 dots in upper right on home screen), remove bike from your Bluetooth( may show as the last 4 numbers of you bikes s/n). Then try to reconnect accordingly to manual with the...

    Swapping 22T cog for 24T cog on Turbo Vado 5.0 IGH

    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

    Swapping 22T cog for 24T cog on Turbo Vado 5.0 IGH

    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...

    Specialized Turbo Vado 5.0 IGH Step-through: Checklist for LBS assembly and setup?

    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...

    Lightweight e-bike recommendations for my teenage kids

    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

    Velotric warranty

    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...

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...

    Turbo Como 4.0 IGS Kickstand removal? How is it done... plastic cap covers screws?

    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

    Turbo Como 4.0 IGS Kickstand removal? How is it done... plastic cap covers screws?

    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...
