    Happened to my Vado 5.0 about a month ago. The display was still on and showing that I was in ECO mode. I think that’s the only time I’ve experienced that. A few times I’ve experienced no power assist after turning on the battery/motor. The display was normal. Tried to go up and down and out of...

    Or someone brought their kid with programming interest to the office. Left unattended this talented child enters a random generating instruction in the code😊 Maybe we could see a pattern for these different numbers that owners report if we study bike models and standard tires. I’m still a bit...

    My 2020 Vado 5.0 was delivered with 622-47 tires. Wheel circumference was set to 2293 because nobody at Specialized bothered about this little detail when the Vado 5.0 got 47mm Trigger tires instead od the Electrak on previous 5.0. Not a big thing perhaps and in a way understandable but when...

    Are you sure it’s 2550? That would be more like a 32” than a 29”.

    It’s not unusual with not so usual cars at the ice cream café I visit several times a week. There’s a nice view too but I’ve shown you that before. Today’s car, Ferrari 308 GTS quattrovalvole, is from 83 - 85 as I think the 308qv was replaced by the 328 in -85.

    Any help here? https://bikepacking.com/index/suspension-seatposts/ Edit. I now see that they didn’t actually test the long travel Thudbuster.

    Good! Take it easy and don’t ride at unneeded speeds if Brix is new to e-bikes.

    2020 : Our Rides in Words, Photos & Videos

    Not much of a ride perhaps if we’re counting miles but here are photos from my ride to Stockholm city last night. There is a photo exhibition on a square called Nybroplan by the water in center city. It’s to draw attention to and inform about The Royal National City Park. It was declared a...

    The Redshift Shockstop suspension post I showed in post two days ago is 27.2mm so a shim, 27.2 - 30.9mm, is needed for a Vado. It is not included. You have to take the seatpost out to adjust for rider weight. Sorry but I have no solution for the taillight.

    Yes the ”incline test” I did was a short ride. I was thinking when I was there that if the ascent is longer then a less steep incline will still be challenging.

    Thank you, but I still think I have to learn more about setting the camera to be ready for action.

    Car of day in Stockholm, Sweden. I caught sight of this car this evening when I was on my way home after trying a steep street. ( https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/specialized-turbo-vado-como-user-club.31893/post-316608 ) Tried to get my camera out quickly but wasn’t fast enough...

    I made it. ( or the Vado made it) Did not have to call Emergency. Sorry no video to show you so for now you have to take make word. But is it really 22%? I think I should go back bringing a folding rule. I forgot to bring my Garmin gps to measure elevation. It is quite steep but it did not seem...

    There is a 22% street in Stockholm. It’s cobble stone so maybe a bit challenging trying to go up and loosing grip all the time. Suppose it’s a one way for a reason. My Vado 5 has a 40 tooth crank wheel so maybe... Speaking of cobbles stones - I finally tried the suspension seatpost I bought in...

    Vado 5 charging question

    Agree. That’s what I do all the time. Found a cheap (about $6-7} timer that plugs right into the outlet. European/ Schuko model in picture but you get the idea. Set it to anything from 5min to 6 hours.
