    Picking an eBike: Gazelle Vs. Specialized

    Thanks for the feedback! Why did you remove the cafe lock? Does it get in the way? Congrats on reaching the 4000 mark!

    Picking an eBike: Gazelle Vs. Specialized

    Hi Newts, I just today sold my Vado 5.0 because I found the riding position too forward for and that set up neck and back aches. I am eyeing a couple of class 3 Gazelles. The 389+ is described as having the "sportive" posture-their most forward, while the Eclipse is "active" (between the...

    MIK-Ready Trunk Bag?

    I did that and there are only two options. One is currently unavailable and the other doesn't have the greatest reviews. The only brand is Basil

    Bike Racks for Turbo Vado

    Hi, I am interested in how you made this work. The Vado wheelbase seems too long for ours so the tires don't seat in the "cups."

    MIK-Ready Trunk Bag?

    Hi, I just got a Specialized Turbo Vado that comes with a MIK rack. Seems like compatible bags are limited to Basil unless I want to buy an additional adaptor and plate. I'd rather get one that is MIK- ready. Any recommendations? Thank you

    Has anyone ridden both a Vado 4.0 and a Vado 5.0 and can compare?

    I want to slide the saddle backward, not for my reach but because of where the bike hits my butt!

    Has anyone ridden both a Vado 4.0 and a Vado 5.0 and can compare?

    So, that drag feeling disappeared. Then yesterday, I heard a quiet tick-tick-tick noise when I pedaled and today that is gone too. Maybe everything is just settling in. I am starting to fall in love with this bike- I get a high for an hour after I ride it. Feels like it totally works with me...

    New Vado 5.0 won't pair with MC App on iphone 13 pro

    I read the manual and went to Support on the website. Seems like an omission not to have it in those places

    New Vado 5.0 won't pair with MC App on iphone 13 pro

    That worked! Pressing the + sign was a detail Specialized left out. Connection was instantaneous! 😊

    Has anyone ridden both a Vado 4.0 and a Vado 5.0 and can compare?

    Thank you for this! The reviews look great too. I may see if my Vado saddle feels better after a break-in period- if not, this will definitely be my next move!

    New Vado 5.0 won't pair with MC App on iphone 13 pro

    Hi, The bike and app seem to "see" each other. The bike generates a code that the app sees. The app and bike both say "connecting" and then it seems to time out and disconnect. Is this a known issue with a solution? Thanks

    Has anyone ridden both a Vado 4.0 and a Vado 5.0 and can compare?

    Hmmm, I get where you are coming from. But I actually do prefer a more upright riding position. I also have an Elektra "Dutch Style" behemoth of a bike that I absolutely adore. It's just that where the seat is hitting me doesn't feel right on the Vado. Maybe I'd be better off switching seats

    Has anyone ridden both a Vado 4.0 and a Vado 5.0 and can compare?

    My husband picked up his 4.0 today and my 5.0 was ready a few hours later at a different shop. I rode home 15 miles in a mix of gravel and asphalt. So far, the bike is what I hoped for in terms of maintaining speed over various terrain giving me good exercise without being so grueling. I am...
