    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    Just thought I'd jump in here and mention I have a Trek Powerfly 5 that weighs 55 lbs. After riding it for the past 4 years I was having trouble mounting because my foot would hit the saddle and the ebike was too heavy and awkward to lay it down, step over and raise it back up . I purchased a...

    Larger Tires on 2021 Vado 4.0 SL

    To soften my ride on my new 2021 Specialized Turbo Vado 4.0 SL I installed 700 x 50 Schwalbe tires. The front was a close fit (1/4”), but the rear was more spacious. I inflated them to the lowest recommended PSI with 35 in the rear and 30 in the front. On my first ride within 100 feet of my...

    Conventional Road Bike to Vado SL. Thoughts?

    I just purchased a 2021 Turbo Vado SL 4.0 (Not EQ) this week in Minnesota and the dealer had quite a few Vados and Creos. This dealer has 30 outlets in the Midwest. https://www.eriksbikeshop.com/ Disclaimer, I have no association with this dealer. Just to determine how many might be...

    Power tube vs power pack.

    I paid $950 for an extra 500 watt Power Pack battery two years ago. Would you mind stating what you paid and where you purchased it? Thanks

    Tried a Trek Police Bike 28 MPH WOW!!!! But NO SALE ):

    I have a 2018 Powerfly 5 with tuning and consequently might have a similar eBike except I have the Performance Line CX, which may be better than the Speed motor, but not certain about that. The weight of 50.22 mentioned above is the same as my Powerfly 5.

    Derestrict your Bosch/Trek e-bike?

    I have the bad ass installed on a Trek Powerfly and the only issue is the speed display is halved. A Garmin displays the real speed. Easy install and removal.

    2019 Trek Powerfly FS 5 first ride and Handlebar question

    I have an XM 700 and a 2018 Powerfly 5. Friday I had an extender installed to raise the handlebar 3" on the Powerfly. I am not as upright as the XM 700, but it is an appreciable change and very inexpensive. Part was $30 and install $15 done in about ten minutes at the shop. I am 70+ so I...
