Saw the Vado in person, I almost threw up. its a hideous bike, also 2/3 of the bikes had broken rear sections on the rack. Thats disconcerting. If I have to replace my Turbo with a road bike, it will be the Super8

WOW, thats sexy... Maybe ill hold off on the LEVO Expert..

Thats exactly what I did, just changed it back and forth, The instructions from the factory are terrible and so vague. A few added words would make things much easier. Thank you for your help.

Do you start by pressing the joy stick first? then press the power button while the bike is already on or off?

I went to my LBS and was about to purchase a Comp but got talked into looking at the Expert since it was marked down 1000, they had just learned about the price markdown on Wednesday. At only 1000$ difference you get better battery life, better front fork, Kashima Coating oil the rear...

They just lowered the price of the Expert and the S Works by 1000 each. Makes the gap between the COMP and the Expert much less appealing...

That is correct, the Levos run a little on the small side.

According to the specialized rep I spoke to over the phone recently, parts will still be available up to 5 years after the model has been discontinued. That would mean since the Turbo S is still in production as of 2017 parts will still be available till at least 2022. Keep in mind that...

Maybe thats why the Levos don’t come with a display?

Tried to unplug and replug the connector, it was definitely dead. I plugged it in with my wife base Turbo and it her display worked fine, I then swapped my broken display for hers and it was dead on her bike. My LBS got me a new unit under warranty.

Probably because the market in Europe is much larger than the home market. Ebikes have really taken off in Europe but they are only a small part of sales in the US. Its a slow growing market however, many cities are starting to adopt more biking infrastructures.

Looking forward to picking up one of these bikes, can’t decide on my own so asking for some feedback.

No need to apologize, I’m fairly stoked to check out the super commuter 8S. I just thought its funny.

are you paid by trek? You can’t stop talking about Trek...

Poseur with stickers...

On my next bike I think I will opt for a Bosch type so the battery is easier to acquire.

Spoke with a rep yesterday, she assured me warranty batteries will have a different supply vs retail. They will maintain parts for 5 years as they do for all bikes they sell even one model year runs. But then again I’m in the US so YMMV.

SO even the the Non LEvo Turbos can benefit from down sizing the tires?... Interesting ...

LCD panel just died on my turbo S, less than 2 months old :(

Thank you for that tip.
