Despite owning my Vado SL 4.0 EQ for six months now, I only just discovered that the Shimano Deore Rapidfire Plus gear lever has “2-way release” which means, to change up, you can either pull on the lever with your index finger or push with your thumb. Changing down requires pushing the other...

VAM is basically the rate of vertical ascent in metres per hour. Not much use unless you ride in big mountains and are training for Tour de France. I don’t see much point in average power either, at least not during a ride. Maybe useful after finishing a ride so see how it compares to other...

I went for a 20 min ride on my 2021 Vado SL with Garmin Auto-Pause On with speed threshold of 4.8 km/hr and there were no annoying beeps.

I just checked my Garmin and Auto-Pause is off and most likely has been off the whole time since I got my Vado SL. I can check how it behaves when on but it’s a bit late here to try now. I had set it to off as I have filmed a few rides for FulGaz virtual cycling app and they need it off to...

You can customise the speed at which the auto pause feature kicks in. I had to reduce the speed threshold on my non-ebike to cater for my slow speed uphill.

You can fit Topeak bags on the rear rack with a slide adaptor. See https://www.topeak.com/global/en/products/248-Accessories/1323-OMNI-QUICKTRACK-ADAPTER My wife has the same bike as yours on order, except in silver, and the bike shop will fit the adaptor to suit her existing Topeak bag. PS...

Hello All. I have just registered on the forum, although I have been a reader since purchasing a Vado SL 4.0 EQ about 5 months ago. I mainly use my Vado SL for leisurely recreational rides and local errands and I have taken it, by car, to Busselton and Margaret River in the south-west of...
