We use the Coho for our new Vado IGH. I’m second this. The nut adapters install in 2 seconds and the trailer is awesome.

I have it installed. It fits. Specifically the 5750L (I’m not sure if there is a non L version. I can’t find them on the Abus product page anymore). Rear wheel needed removed to install it. A bit of labor, but my LBS did it for me before I picked up my bike.

Had my wife drop me at the local nature center today. Met a coworker there. Rode 21 miles to the Biergarten then 12 miles home. Mostly in Eco (maybe 3 miles in Turbo total). Headwind for half of it. Still 31% left on the battery. Coworker had a road bike and got a flat around mile 28. Really...

We have a place (city park) with groomed areas for cross country skiing and kids sledding in the winter and hiking + MTB in the Summer. Both single and two track. It was a pump track style hilly ramp in the single track. I landed in the mud (it rained the day before) but not enough apparently...

Reminds me of this video I saw forever ago.

Oh. If it’s just Gravel that’s probably fine. You just have to be ok with the noise from the fenders. Edit - I’ve ridden my Vado 5 through a gravel parking lot to get around a flooded spot on a paved trail (slow speed to not kick stones up into paint) but it rode just fine. I also have the...

Agree with Stefan. Currently have the IGH 5 and an analog MTB. I’m happier chain style off-road. I’m braver than I am skilled on the MTB. I don’t need something heavier to manage. I fell sideways off an obstacle last weekend from about 5’ up and landed on my side and it deflected my knee...

The red is sharper in person than the photos show IMO. I love it. You also have the motor lock/alarm built in as well.

When my mom wanted to get married to a guy that had been divorced 4 times, I made the comment that maybe it wasn’t the 4 separate ex-wives fault each time. Seems like a similar result here. Imagine being so arrogant and ignorant of it that you don’t “allow” your wife to try something for...

This is the correct answer, neither. It should come right from the factory as part of the QA QC process. The shops should also have training on how to fix it from Specialized. That said, as I’ve mentioned before, it’s a new model year and it takes time to learn. It’s no different than what...

Being an engineer I love math. I just never cared to check the gear ratios. I push 80ish usually so lines up with my 8ish mph speed if 70 gives you 7 mph.

I haven’t calibrated mine. It is stock the way it came. I can climb a hill of the same grade as Joshelley in Turbo at 8 mph without much effort. The IGH is no different than how any other Enviolo 380 would perform on that same hill. It just shifts for you. The Vado design is not the problem in...

Yeah. I drive a manual transmission. If I wear my work boots, I can’t press the clutch without also hitting the brake. I need to wear my shoes and change them at work.

That was the 13.2 cm I mentioned. The extender adds the difference in width from my shoe to a standard size shoe.

In US it’s size 13 width 4E. If this table is accurate that is a EU size 48 with a width of 13.2 vs standard width is 11.2. Shoe sizes are annoying but it’s an Extra Wide. Edit - I also get why they use that style and think it’s convenient. Just not in my specific use case. When I was pedaling...

No lock is perfect. But if you have 3 or 4 different styles, it stops thieves who have just 1 tool (aside from cutoff wheel) and it’s not worth the effort if there is an unlocked or simple to break lock close. I garage mine at home and only need stuff to have piece of mind for a quick bathroom...

Did another 15 mile family ride after work today on the new Vado 5.0 IGH. Finally sunny and 62-64 F. Stopped to share an ice cream on the way. We parked at our LBS to start our trip. My 21mm pedal extenders came in so my clown feet could fit properly on the pedals. Figured I’d put them on...

Still 12mm x 148. They sell a thru axle for you. It has a fit guide. I can’t find the thread pitch online, but if you print off their guide to the proper scale, you can hold yours up to it and compare to find the pitch.

For the Coho trailer? The Vado SL is a 12mm x 148mm thru axle.

I think GP is right. I priced out spares when I was looking at last gen bikes and in the US, we could order them off the Specialized site. May be an EU restriction?
