Here's a thread about installing a switch and it seems fairly easy: https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/headlight-switch-for-vado-sl.51329/

I was out in the garage, so I took out the calipers and took several measurements. The smallest of the three clearance spots on my bike is on the chainstay where it is indented for the wheel, on the chain side, next to the weld. With the 42's there is 0.38" sidewall clearance. There was 0.475"...

Ah! Just saw your SRAM link and played around with it. It looks like there is an 8 psi difference between the two tire sizes for me. Probably the weight difference between us. It also suggests that I could run lower pressures which I might try. Thanks!

I ran 80 psi w/tubes, the max limit stated on the 38 tire. I run 65 psi tubeless, the max stated on the 42 tire. So, 15 psi difference. This is on a SL 4.0 with me at 235lbs. I don't have any knowledge on the SRAM recommendation as I haven't any idea what that even is!

Specialized Support page for the Vado SL states that 42 is the largest tire you can put on it.... for what it's worth. The Pathfinder Pro has been out everywhere in my neck of the woods also, but the LBS had the S-Works Pathfinder 42. I went ahead and bought those as they're only an additional...

A lot of the stores don't show their inventory. That Carmel store and the Santa Cruz store both show bikes in stock on the Specialized site but their own sites don't list inventory of any of their bikes. If those are closer for you, give them a call tomorrow to confirm. I think it comes down to...

Never felt like you were being negative, just trying to find a bike. Pay no attention to that person. We're both new here and simply trying to have a positive experience.

Warranty is through Specialized so most any store should take care of you. Also, there are Specialized centers run by them. I know there's one in Sac, SF and I think Santa Cruz. I bought a Levo two years ago from a different shop than where I have work done on it. Nice shop, nice people and...

Have you changed up the zip code when you search? That's what I did when looking. And that's how I found the Davis store. I had to do a minor road trip to Davis myself. In some way. it made getting the bike more special and exciting but then I'm easily amused! Good luck......

Here's a black, medium with top tube, and in stock: https://www.kensbikeski.com/product/specialized-turbo-vado-5.0-397824-1.htm This shop is in Davis and I bought a Vado SL from them about a week ago thru their web site. Very happy with them.

Somethings wrong here. If you're on the Specialized site and in the exact, specific bike page that you want then it is only going to search for that specific bike. It does not list other models. Again, what specifically are you looking for? Size, top tube or step thru, color? When I look for...

Yep, just pick the model and size you want, and it just searches for that specific model including other colors. What exactly are you looking for?

Not sure where you are in California or what size you're looking for. I'm in NorCal and when I search for a Vado 5.0 in the "Find A Store" search box on Specialized web site, there are bikes available. in some store. Have you done that? Perhaps you would be able to find a bike by searching and...
