The motor still works and propels the bike, but it is very noisy. It has a very loud whine and sometimes has a pulsating feeling while pedaling. It's hard to describe, but often instead of spinning smoothly I get the impression that every time a magnet passes a pole there is a pulse. I filmed...

I don't know. I took the range extender in with my Creo SL that is unfortunately in need of a warranty motor replacement. 947 miles...... The tech knows the extender was bought for my wife's Vado SL. We shall see, and I will report back.

What are we talking about here? ;) Just kidding. I picked up a range extender for my wife's Vado SL 5.0. Will the system have problems if I use it on my Creo SL? I dropped the RE off at the LBS yesterday for a firmware upgrade, and the tech mentioned the update may be problematic because it...

Mission Control was updated a number of times to no avail. All is good now!

So..... all seems well at this point. LBS was good enough to swap out the TCU today, and all seems well at this point. To recap, motor was bricked by LBS, replaced by LBS, TCU would not connect with Turbo Vado SL using my wife's phone and Mission Control, although using my phone and Mission...

Happy Birthday Stefan!!

My wife loves her RedShift on her Turbo Vado SL 5.0 EQ. It absorbs minor bumps and lumps well on local single-track and fire road trails local to us.

I picked the bike up tonight with the replacement motor. All is now well insofar as the bike is whole again. However, her Mission Control app on her phone still does not fully recognize the bike with the installed (replacement) TCU. I swapped in the original TCU and everything is hunky-dory...

Here's an odd one on my wife's Turbo Vado SL. On yesterday's ride Mission Control stated the firmware needed to be updated. I have not had this done yet. This morning I turned the bike on to check it before our ride and Mission Control on her phone would not recognize it. After many tries i...

Hello, I should have noted that her Vado SL is the Equipped model. Apologies for the omission!

I received this information (verbatim) from KoolStop last week in reference to swapping the pads on my wife's Vado SL 5.0: flat mount they use shimano spec our part numbers KS-D625 organic KS-D625S sintered KS-D625CA Cooling backing plate organic KS-D625CS Cooling backing plate...

I just installed a RedShift ShockStop seatpost on my wife's Vado SL. She loves it! We ride offroad a lot in the Santa Cruz mountains and San Francisco Bay Area regional parks and it soaks up a lot of the bumps.

To update the statements here that all information is lost; I just replaced the battery in my TCD and strangely it retained our recent ride info and the configuration. The odometer zeroed out - until I turned the bike on. The TCU must have uploaded the odometer reading because it's back! I...

Both modification ideas are for my wife's Turbo Vado SL EQ. Is it possible to retrofit a dropper post with a handlebar lever? I think the biggest problem will be figuring where the cable would enter the frame. Second, I would like to add 180mm or 200mm brakes; what would be needed for this...

Hello Stefan: Thank you very much for the kind reply. I learned yesterday that bolt and nut sets are available, thank you. I always enjoy reading your posts and contributions!

Sooooooo....... it turns out my quest is for naught. I didn't realize that threaded flanges are available, so I don't need to reinvent the wheel as it were and machine my own parts. I should have known they are already available. So - I will make some anyway out of titanium 6AL 4V just...

Per my local bike shop the stock one is threaded, the spider holes are clearance for the fastener.

My wife and I ride off-road a lot, and I would like to swap the chainring on her Vado SL to a 38 tooth. I just talked to the LBS that we bought the bike from, and they don't know of any that are available. Apparently the stock Praxis ring is threaded, limiting availability. Does anyone know...

Thank you again for your input, it is certainly appreciated!
