    Specialized Turbo Vado 5.0 IGH Step-through: Checklist for LBS assembly and setup?

    So the new model has the 22T cog? can you confirm that, it’s been a debate here since the auto shift came out in 2022 with the 24T…. I changed mine to the 22T last May, just know it will make more than a little difference, ghost pedaling stopped with the 22T and speed over about 25mph or so your...

    Lightweight e-bike recommendations for my teenage kids

    Consider the Velotric T1 or the T1ST, quality bike for the money, I purchased one for my nephew, 39 lbs with battery, no throttle but rides very natural with the torque sensor. Velotric has excellent after sale customer service and they have dealers nationwide

    Velotric warranty

    The model is T1ST, to me a good quality bike for the price and components, a smooth ride with the torque sensor. I’m also impressed with their after sale customer service, bike shipped to New Jersey, customer service said they would find out what was wrong with it. I think if they had a mid...

    Velotric warranty

    Seems to be a lot of bad news these day, I wanted to give a shoutout to Velotric. About 3 months ago I bought a bike from them for my nephew, he was riding a really old bike to work every day , about 12 miles round trip, everything was fine for 3 months, one day the display went black, emailed...

    Turbo Como 4.0 IGS Kickstand removal? How is it done... plastic cap covers screws?

    The belt is adjusted on both sides, the bolts that hold the kickstand is part of the belt tension mechanism, my personal opinion is I would adjust the length of the kickstand and move on, I’ve had mine for over 2 years without issues, even on sand

    Turbo Como 4.0 IGS Kickstand removal? How is it done... plastic cap covers screws?

    If you look closely there’s a small slot that you can get a small screw driver in, be careful not to break the tabs at the front side, the covers are made to stay on , so they are tight, if you have a manual it will show with pictures how to remove, or google “how to remove covers on specialized...

    Please check you local facebook marketplace. I found this bike 30 miles from my house used once for $500 probably take less this time of year and would give you a chance to test ride, I thought I wanted a drop bar bike, but I knew 30 seconds after I tried one that it was definitely not for me

    need help on purchasing ebike asap

    I do not have any experience on the folders like many riders here, we buy a lot of stuff from Amazon, but a ebike wouldn’t be one of them, if you cannot buy from a local bike shop, then the mentioned Iectric or the Ride1up Portola are good choices for a bit higher cost, well worth it in my...

    Roadster V3

    Took the bike on a 21 mile ride, enjoyed it very much, bike is smooth and not a harsh as I thought it might be, ran about 50 psi, tire are good, ran on gravel for a mile or so traction was good, probably will go tubeless, I’ll be in Florida in October (hopefully) to test these tires on sand...

    Recommendations for mid-drive and belt drive

    The Atlas has been unavailable, the Photon has a throttle the Prodigy does not, the Prodigy has a Brose motor that Specialized uses, the Photon has good reviews, higher capacity battery, good components and is the heavier of the three… boils down to personal choice

    I actually fixed the problem this evening,don’t know why I didn’t do it before, I put the bike upside down and got my shop light and my glasses and found the issue, there was a metal burr on the end of the latch pin. I filed it off and put a little dry lube around the latch..problem...

    Roadster V3

    You are correct PSm, this is a great bike for the price, I could buy 5 of them for what I have in my other bike, and it is 20 lbs lighter with battery, I would be using it mainly in the RV, sometimes we are on the road 5 or six weeks at a time and several stops, I have 30 days to decide what to do

    EBR made me do it! (new Vado SL 5.0 EQ)

    Most of the bikes I remember involved the turbo vado 5.0 auto shift like mine .. maybe a unique situation, a lot of customers didn’t like this bike or were having problems, I’ve had mine 21/2 years with no issues ( just a little on the heavy side)
