I pulled my bike vertical and accidentally crushed the taillight. Does anyone have a source where I can buy a replacement taillight?

Has anyone had trouble with the lock for their battery release being stuck? The lock isn’t stuck, but the key gets stuck. Sometimes it works fine but this morning and this evening it got stuck and took me five minutes of working on it to get it to turn.

Has anyone figured a way to attach the Varia to the rear rack? I have a bad attached to my seat so it makes the seat post attachment not workable. Also, do I really have to manually power on and off the Varia every time I use? Would be nice if it being connected to the TCD could trigger power...

This is really helpful. Thanks!

Thanks that solved it. Tero X 6.0 Mastermind TCD

Does anyone know how to rest distance and riding time? I’ve googled and not found anything.

Anybody have a read on what next year’s TurboVado models will have in terms of components/technology?

The IGH is more expensive so it must be a better bike. Really quite the oddity wanting clipped pedals for an IGH. I guess it’s the option that allows you to spend the most money? 🤷‍♂️

Wouldn’t it be cool if this was a bike site and not politics

Thanks! Actually have family in OKC. Will your LBS support/service the warranty?

I live in Houston and can’t seem to find a Medium Turbo Vado 5.0 anywhere near me. Is there a way I can secure the 2023 model when it comes out?

Good point. I like the Vado 5 on paper but can’t find one to test ride. I need to find a Vado 4 to test ride and go from there. LBS only had an Allant+ 7S and loved the speed but the clicking was loud AF. I hope Specialized rides better.

This all seems crazy. Almost feel like anything in the next year is going to cost a premium. I am wondering if I should just sit out a year until the supply chains get back to normal.

Do they ship them or do I need to drive to pick one up? Also I understand you are supposed to buy from LBS for service purposes...

My LBS doesn't have the Turbo Vado 5.0 in stock and Specialized website lists the model as out of stock. Is it a pipe dream to think one would even be available to purchase this year?
