Thanks for the input!

Thanks again, appreciate the verification.

That’s really helpful input, I appreciate it. Here are the pics…

Thanks for the input! Yeah it’s the enviolo automatic shifter. And yeah I wasn’t in the market for a bike last year unfortunately, so missed that window. Now you can’t even find them in bike stores. Might see if I can get him to come down on the price a bit though.

Hi all - thinking about buying a lightly used (somehow only 60 miles on odometer) Turbo Vado 5.0 IGH that the guys says is a 2021 model (my incredulity comes from me only being able to find evidence of specialized making the uhh with a belt drive for Turbo Vado from 2022 on…so maybe it’s a 2022...

I hear ya - will try to test ride some as the belt drive and ugh is really appealing for about a million different reasons…

Fantastic input! Thanks much I really appreciate it and it’s super helpful! And have you been happy with the gazelle? How many miles have you put on it?

Thanks appreciate it. I know the Zen owner is on here a lot and a lot of people on here buy them, I’m just a bit skeptical as it seems on the high end of kickstarter-y…just a spidey sense feeling I guess…

Good stuff, thanks! Had that suspicion about the motor but hadn’t seen it in black and white on the noise, appreciate it! Am also vaguely looking at a used specialized turbo 5.0 igh for $3700 but it’s got over 2k miles on it…and we all like new things, eh?

Yeah I am definitely leaning toward the Prodigy. Like the light blue/green color as well. I think the Gazelle is cheekily referring to if you get a second battery added, which is another grand I think. Anyway, very much appreciate your thoughts, thanks!

Sorry, Gazelle is here: https://www.gazellebikes.com/en-us/gazelle-ultimate-c380plus-hmb

Help! Was all set to buy a Ride1Up Prodigy V2 CVT (https://ride1up.com/product/prodigy-v2/) for $2700 and then just saw that Gazelle has the 380+ on sale for $3500. So - is it worth the extra cash for the Gazelle? My bike is my primary commute vehicle for a 14 mile round trip in Washington...

Hey all - anyone heard anything about a new release of a new version of Turbo Vado 5.0? Saw a post from back in February saying they were told by a dealer it would be in June and....it's June...anyone heard/seen anything?

yikes - not till fall! Thanks, appreciate the info!

Yeah totally - the worst are false promises...
