Welcome, Marquezdl! I hope you love yours as much as I love mine. I am looking forward to warmer weather so I can get back out on it.

Hopefully it will work and you will be very happy with it. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you! 🤞

I can't say I am surprised as many portions of the economy are slowing down and this is just more evidence of that. 🤔

That is a bummer, Stefan, and I am sorry to hear your beloved Vado is no more. I hope you are able to make the replacement work for you just as well as the original did.

Thanks, Stefan. I was too lazy to look it up. :)

The best advice I saw here is to test ride both the Vado 4 and the Vado 5 so you can compare them. There are a lot of thoughtful comments here that I agree with, but I personally recommend you skip the Vado 3 due to its lower power for climbing hills. The Vado 3's motor is rated at 50NM of...

Yes, all of the 2017 to 2021 Vado and Como models use the same battery design and all battery WH levels are interchangeable: 460, 540 and 604. Unfortunately for those of us who own the older models, the new for 2022 battery design that goes up to 710WH is not compatible with the older...

Great news! Congratulations on your new bike and I hope you love it. I certainly love mine. 😎

We have a 2018 Como with no front suspension and have no issue with it. In fact, we love it! I suppose it depends on the type of riding you want to do, but we don't go off-road, and I would not recommend either the Como or the Vado for any serious off-road use. A week ago today we rode the...

Propel doesn't do that, but ABUS does. I just went through Propel to make my purchase as they knew exactly what I was looking for and made it easy for me to get it. Keep in mind that I have a 2019 Vado that came new with an ABUS battery lock. I then just decided which cafe/frame lock would...

I use an ABUS cafe/frame lock on the rear wheel with the added security chain, plus the ABUS folding lock with the alarm. I ordered these through Propel and they are all keyed to use the same key as my battery, so only one key. I usually only use the cafe lock because I am never away from the...

I never owned a bike rack before so I wasn't sure how much I would use one, but I wanted to take our e-bikes over to the coast and ride around the Monterey, Pacific Grove and Pebble Beach area, which is about 3 hours away. I looked at several of the less expensive bike racks and eventually...

I would guess whatever you read about Brose motors being unreliable or inefficient was posted by someone trying to support Bosch by turning people away from Brose. I love my Brose motor and while I don't have the miles on it others here have, mine is 16 months old, ridden regularly, and as...

We have a older 2018 2.0 Como that is Class 1, but I thought the 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 Comos were all Class 3 just like the 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 Vados.

I had the same dilemma as both my Vado and Lisa's Como have fenders. It was my first bike rack and I didn't want to spend a lot on something I wasn't sure how much I would use, so I went cheap and got the Hyperax Volt 2.0. It was around $300 on Amazon and it works great with the bikes clamped...

I installed a set of Specialized fenders on my girlfriend's Como 2.0 and the screw Specialized provided for this lowest mounting position was too short to use with the spacer that goes on the back side of the fender. The spacer is important because it helps prevent squeaks. I simply went to my...

I can't speak to whether or not the bike will work without the TCD being connected, but I know for a fact it won't work if it still has the BLOKS display. The BLOKS display unit is easily removable and that, coupled with its small size, makes it easy to lose or misplace, and that may be what...

I do not have insider information so I can't speak for Specialized, but I believe it was due to a combination of reasons: the first reason was to achieve a bigger separation between the Vado 3.0 and the Vado 4.0, by making the 3.0 less powerful than the 4.0. The second reason was the benefit of...

One of the reasons I bought my Vado 3.0 last year was because I thought I would be able to use it to replace my car for local trips and errands around the small town I live in. Unfortunately, I did not realize I would not be able to find the Racktime panniers that fit the rack that came on the...

It is gorgeous! I like these handlebars way better than the ones in the on-line photos as they don't have that crazy rise.
