    check out the specialized Vado 3.0 with the IGH, I have moved to the belt drive bikes, not likely to buy another chain drive, you can also micro tune the Vado to get good mileage

    New 2023 specialized Vado 5.0 IGH

    Yes, I did use micro tune, a great feature. I rode most of the trail In eco 10/35, on my priority current I use 0 assist for most of this trail with a occasional 1, I figure the Vado is about 4 lbs heavier than the current,which is great considering the upgrades, maybe the wider tires?

    Not disabled but what knee brace as you using?

    I had injuries to my right leg in the late seventies that I’ve been dealing with since, had my knee replaced in 2019, can only bend to 90 degrees, was told by the surgeon to find another hobby.

    Current power compared to other mid drives

    I had a Bosch gen4 speed bike in 2019, I now have the Priority Current. Kinda hard to compare because the first bike had a 12 speed, so it would get to 28mph very easily and maintain it, withe the 5 speed IGH it is hard to maintain anything over about 23mph for very long. That bein said, the...
