    Just completed 1000 miles on my Turbo Vado SL 5.0 EQ

    Ergo grips are the best, I have fitted 3's on mine, they are perfect.

    Would it be rude of me to ask how you contacted them from the UK? Many thanks.

    Trim bars on Vado SL

    Cut 25mm from each end of mine, they are now 66cm with ergon 3 grips fitted. Find it far more comfortable and feels a more sporty ride. Before I cut them off, with a hacksaw, a friend who had a short ride of my bike, said it seemed like riding a mountain bike because of the really wide bars.

    Just completed 1000 miles on my Turbo Vado SL 5.0 EQ

    I cut around 25mm from each end of mine, they defiantly felt ungainly, makes it feel so much more sporty! Very easy to do with a hacksaw too.

    Me too, like you say, definitely a design fault. Hate marking the paintwork, but had to get it out!!

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

    There should be a little button to press, that holds the derailleur in position after you push it forward, so no need to hold it with your hand. I had the same thing happen to me, it's very tight between the chainring and the motor housing as you say, but using the button to hold the derailleur...

    Thanks for that, have downloaded the Ride app, so will see, on next ride, if that helps! Was up in your neck of the woods last month, cycled form Newcastle to Edinburgh. Didn't use the Vado SL, did it on an leg powered hybrid, 214 miles!

    Since the update, mine shows my recorded rides with a small map against each, but when I click on a ride the map will not show, it just says "Trying to get location". Anyone else have this problem? When uploaded to Stava or Komoot, the maps are there!

    New Vado 5.0 IGH in stock? My LBS's say go for it, they can't get 'em

    Here in the UK I ordered mine online, from the Specialized site on a Sunday evening, the following Thursday morning it was ready to be picked up from a "nearly" local bike shop, 18 miles away. I could have ordered the same bike, Turbo Vado 4.0 SL, same colour and size, from online sites over...

    Vado 4.0 SL

    Hi from the UK. Just picked up a new Vado 4.0 SL in smoke/black reflective. I'm sure I will have loads of questions for you "experts" out there!!

    2022 Vado 4.0 SL cables interfering with headlight, so I flipped it.

    Just picked up a Vado 4 SL, how does the light come off of the stem? Does it just slide out? Many thanks.
