Most hazards are covered by the warning signs except cyclist standing in the middle of the road :D

My guess is that it’s a software fault when it comes to the problems I’ve had with no power. The battery connection may of course be a problem too as we know the battery fitting is far from perfect but I’m still leaning towards software for my problems.

You mention brass contacts. I just took my battery out and the pins on the bike ( 2020 Vado5) looked more like steel to me. Didn’t look into the battery’s connector.

I must remember to look at Mission Control when things like this happens. Since last update my bike has lost motor support three times. The first time was while riding and that time I checked the MC. Second and third time was at start up. Display was normal and I changed to Eco before riding...

I have a Vado 5 EU restricted to 25kph ( 15.5mph) Wish it was true.

Fellow cyclists. The poor guy to the right is going in the wrong direction. Yes, I see there is a sign kindly asking not to take pictures but honestly I didn’t notice it at the moment and besides I’m an artist with a mission to interpret reality so... 🙂

There are a couple of LBS here in the Stockholm area that offer 1 year or 2 years of free adjustments to the bicycle you buy. I think there is one that includes lifetime basic adjustments. E.g. adjusting shifters or brakes and general check up. Last time I got a checkup I needed a new chain. I...

The SL line was realeased in winter/spring 2020. I would say it’s a 2020. Looking at specialized.com it seems that there are no ( major?) updates for 2021 regarding the Levo SL Comp. The S-Works and Expert models have had updates. This article describes updated models and mention no significant...

Monday evening short ride around Stockholm. Rode into a little car meet again. Pretty litte car.

Thanks. I thought 7.3.4 could be a new motor firmware but I checked all three firmwares through Mission Control and now see that it’s the battery firmware. I have the same. My firmwares were updated in June

Your largest rear sprocket is 46 I believe. Mine is 42 but my chainring is 40 so maybe you would have made it on my Vado. :D

That must be a steep incline. Was it the highway embankment? Your largest rear sprocket is 46 I believe. Mine is 42 but my chainring is 40 so maybe you would have made it on my Vado. :D

You are not completely wrong:D;) In my case we could say my range concern is not relevant to the daily riding I do. Usually I don’t charge to more than 80% and rarely go below 30% with my 600Wh battery. BUT... my range concern is relevant to the riding I WANT TO do. My longest ride ( last...

Firmware 7.3.4 ? Is that the BLEvo firmware or is it a Specialized motor firmware?

Arlo Guthrie is a great storyteller. ’Alice’s Restaurant’ is wellknown and it’s more of a long recital than a song. I like this performance It’s great to go off topic:)

I’m back with my rant about how my 2020 Vado 5.0 transformed with the 7.1.1 firmware update. I still feel that much of the natural cycling feeling disappeared in Eco mode at lower speeds ( 0 - ≈ 12mph). The power pulse seems to to be longer for each pedal stroke and it if I ride Eco 35/35 or...

If you use 15 decimals for pi like they do at NASA JPL you can go just over 31. 31.00627668 :D

Yes. Stockholm, Sweden.

It’s the Old Town. Several of the buildings on that waterfront, called Skeppsbron, are from 17th and 18th century. Think the oldest building still standing in the Old Town was build during 14th century. This is the Old Town ( pic from internet)

67.9m or ft 222.769. Mast height! Caught this during a short somewhat misty evening. Tap to get a larger better pic ( better lens and closer) https://www.balticyachts.fi/yachts/baltic-175-pink-gin-vi/
