    2021 Vado SL 4.0 (1st Impressions)

    Exactly! Happy you now own 'one of the best bikes I've ever purchased'. I have kept my 4SL stock but understand your changes. And I agree - it's an awesome machine. One with E capabilities but the feel of a 'regular' bike. Enjoy and I can tell you it only gets better. :)

    Rear light and Front light to blinking on turbo Vado SL

    I run a flashing light on my Vado SL. I do it because I've seen other riders with blinking lights when I'm driving my car and they're very visible. I just figured 'you can't be too safe' but I certainly don't want to upset drivers. Most folks in the States already hate cyclists.

    Vado SL: EQ or Not

    I love the front and rear light mounts on my Vado SL. Strongly disagree it's poor engineering.

    Dropped chain on Trek Verve+

    Regarding pedaling backwards, you should be able to do this if you have a good chain. I've found, that after a chain stretches, a backwards stroke can cause the chain to come off.

    Odd..Mike's Bikes had orders cancelled by Specialized ???

    I don't really understand. Mike and Spec are on the 'outs' and now buyers are no longer covered by a warranty? That's a lot of money owed to folks if it's true.

    ODO stopped at 9,999 miles ???

    Maybe the display recognizes it's such a great accomplishment needs to keep it up there for awhile. 👍

    Firmware Update for Vado SL

    My Vado SL works perfectly as far as I can tell. I wouldn't take a chance updating firmware unless the update has something to do with bike /motor longevity.

    Ebikes….Cheating?

    It's only cheating on an eBike when you think they don't know it's an eBike. And then you ride up an incline, past a group of female onlookers, going 25mph in turbo like you're Lance. All the time acting like you're in agony. 😉

    Vado SL charging error

    I keep a small fan in the garage and just point it at the charger when charging the Vado. Keeps the charging brick a lot cooler to the touch and to me - that's got to be a good thing. Haven't had an issue in 90F plus temps.

    Tour de “e” France

    We'll need an E-bike race in the future as bikes are left behind. Pretty soon, kids bikes will be ebikes as the technology becomes cheaper. Eventually, for instance, Wal-Mart kids bikes will be mostly and then only E-bikes. And then those kids will only buy E-bikes as adults. There will come...

    Bike Insurance

    It does seem crazy. With anything there's a bit of risk. So sure, you could not insure and have stolen next day and you lose. That said, if you are a good risk then over time, if you apply this philosophy to self-insure, you'll make a profit just like insurance companies do. Really - folks...

    Bike Insurance

    Regarding insurance, if you can afford to replace the bike then it's financially better to go without it. And that's because insurance companies are for profit entities. And they make their money on folks that are the least risky. So, if you're one of those less risky folks you'll 'make money'...

    Are You a Cyclist?

    Living in the USA - to avoid haters, I have a jersey that says "US Army". Also wear socks with logo/colors of nearby University sports team. I've been OK since these changes. Still have issues with BMW drivers but there's no shirt/logo that can help with that. Just have to be lucky.

    Specialized Vado 4.0 - Beware

    That's great to see on a website - nice models. But they can't be purchased because they aren't available anywhere.

    It It's known fact that too tight helmet straps makes one cynical beyond reason. You have reached that threshold.

    Range Extender Turbo Vado SL

    Split charging cable is $65 USD - crazy price so I will have to charge separately. But no problem - feel lucky enough that I have my SL. At first, the LBS said they could order and get me a range extender end of August shipment. But they checked and already had some coming in early August...
