I've also spotted this as an alternative way to upgrade the rack but don't know if it would work with our model and seat post dimensions

Just thought I'd share what I picked up today - I'm very happy with it. Carrying my 16kg toddler up hills is a breeze, I've had the rear rack upgraded to a topeak (by my LBS) one to increase carrying capacity to 25kg, the size (L) is also much better than my old bike (unsure of size likely a M...

I did it! Shes getting a rack upgrade and will be ready next week! Thanks everyone!

Thanks very much @TYJ

@rochrunner thanks for your speedy reply - sorry about your missing out on an SL by such a short amount of time. Supply seems to be a huge issue still. A major Specialized LBS said they have more Vado SLS on order not estimated to arrive until 2023 - wether or not that’s fact or hearsay we will...

Thanks @rochrunner do you know roughly this year which month the 22 became available? My concern is I buy the 22 (4.0 SL EQ) and then weeks later a 23 (4.0 SL EQ) with say a Mastermind TCU launches and or other upgrades? Or will 23s not likely launch until 2023 given release dates of the 21 and...

I did have two more questions for the brains trust 1. Can you install a front rack? With the mudguard still in place? Does anyone have a photo/brand/model? 2. 2023 models - after emailing rider care today to ensure new models aren’t right around the corner - I got this reply “Unfortunately...

Thanks again @Stefan Mikes for all the information and making the community (global) on this forum. Out of interest have you now lost some weight? I am hoping all the riding will help me to do so! Would you upgrade the factory light (I believe Lezyne) is it hard? or add a supplementary...

How old are the kids/weight?

Hi There In Australia we can only get the EQ model. Im after a child’s seat that can support a 3yo 16kg kid. The challenge is the rear rack the bike comes with is only rated to 15kg, some of the seats need 25kg racks. It’s further complicated by the fact the rack supports the rear fender and...

Thanks PDX Sid! great to hear from the US. Specialized in Australia are sold out of basically everything so I have to buy from a LBS (3 stores, each only have 1 in my size and colour) I have managed to get 10% off secured at one of them so far. Great to hear you think the bike it worth the cost...

Thanks for your replies everyone I happen to have a spare AirTag from a multipack I bought they’ve been great to help us find keys when in a rush after my 3yo has hidden them somewhere (aka I’d put them somewhere stupid). @Sefutau2020 thanks for your thoughts I’m keen on a bike I need to ride...

Hello everyone from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 ! I'm proud to say it's taken 4 days in between work and juggling my 3 year old but I've made it through the 76 pages of content! It seems a bit neive of me to ask in a post like this if you think this bike is incredible (as built) as there has been...

@waghmare keen to hear how you tow your kids on what trailer? I am looking for options with my 3yo. Thanks

@Badders can you kindly advise what weight it is rated for?

After reading 29/76 pages this is the post I’ve been wanting to find that I think will push me over the edge - my ride is 21 miles round trip and takes me about 2:10. I weigh in about 235 and this is what I needed to read!!! Thank you

Great post - thank you keen to see if it would be the same for me at approx 235 pounds!

Thanks @Stefan Mikes of course first 10kms of my commute when there is still some daylight it’s brighter and is very well lit - the last 7 really none at all and it’s dark winter here at the moment

@Stefan Mikes Thanks so much again for your very detailed reply which is most helpful. I did the ride to work again yesterday on my non ebike - route there is great, route home is constant incline - last 5kms inclines about 80m quite aggressively - very big challenge at the end of the day...

Thanks 🙏
