SL 2

picked up a 2026 Vado 4.0 SL eq day :) *SL2

yes they do, Cincinnati market sucks, I did get to try out a trek checkpoint+ at a trek factory store on Monday, but only in a parking lot cause they are on a very busy road dealing with lazy people that don't care or don't ride, I guess it's not their time and money

cant find a true bosch egravel bike for sale here in the states, most oems have gone to tq, trek and canyon, so I just ordered a vado SL 2 4.0 cause it was on sale and i'll just turn that into a gravel bike, it will get me by until they update to the Creo 3

Yes I got my refund for the warranty work, but the bike only lasted about 1300 miles, now it's back in the shop with motor errors, fun and super exciting

I am still out of $216.96 on repairs on the Creo 2, back and forth with specialized, bike shop says it such a low amount, but it's not there money, so I canceled the marlin lombard e1, I am not playing with stupid since $4299 plus tax is such a low amount

I had 0 issues with the og Vado 5.0 SL, it was out of warranty so it was time to upgrade, the motor finally went out at 19,000+, and like a dummy bought an Vado 5.0 igh too but that bike was a turd, but specialized fixed it again and again no extra cost to me

Yes the bike is under warranty until May 1st of 2026, bought the bike Apirl 1st 2024 like a fool, the only thing I asked for is a new bike and offered to pay for half cause I needed a bike in July the fist time it was in the shop to only be back in August then in October

Got the Creo 2 back, "rerererepaired" another new battery,motor, and wiring harness, and I had to pay $216.96 for repair service that I never asked for and specialied wouldn't cover the cost, I have invoked rider care, called specialized and used the stupid chat, its not right

Creo 2 is still in the bike shop, I asked specialized for help, they said go to your local retailer, uh I cant my bike is still in the shop, it shouldn't be in a shop for over 3 months of "repair"

my local bike shop carries marin bikes, I ordered a marin lomard e1 wont be in until March, still no eta on amflow egravel bike here in the usa

I guess specialized doesn't want to fix the bikes, thanks Creo 2 has new motor, battery and wiring harness I have been looking into bosch powered gravel ebike that I can buy here in the states
