I have been very impressed with the Coolcave panniers. You can fill them with drinks and ice for slow roll rides people can just reach in. They also have a rubber pug at the bottom you can remove to drain. They hold more than a full grocery bag too!

Thanks for letting everyone know. I have been putting the update off.

Anytime the ambient temperature outside goes below 42 degrees all of the buttons (except F2 and power on/off) on my 2022 VADO 4.0 don't work. But everything works again once the temp goes above 42. I was out riding last weekend in 18-degree weather... this weekend it has been 58 and everything...

Did you take off the drive side or non drive side?

It "would" work on the Vado if the handlebars were higher (like the Como). Ah well... :-(

Wire strippers, heat shrink, soldering iron, and about 10” of extra wire. Be cognizant where you cut the wire. I cut mine 5” from the light. Strip the wires, tin them with solder. Then put the heat shrink on, twist the connections together and solder. Last use a lighter or heat gun to get the...

So this new video will show the basket installed the correct way on the adventure plate… Huh maybe I did something wrong and it will work. I’ll try again.

I didn’t remove the motor cover but I did remove the battery and looking into the motor didn’t look like any slack was available.

Mine was too short as well. But my 2022 vado was one of the early ones and is in reality a year old or more. Maybe they updated the cable length later on after the adventure plate design was finalized?

Great to hear you had enough cable.

That and the front rack can't mount the turbo basket unless it is backward (yes I tried reversing the mik plate adaptor).

Yes, I tried and no it won’t work. What will work is mounting the headlight to the handlebar or cutting the headlight cable and splicing in 4" inches or so.

Before I cut my headlight wire to extend it... I did use a rubber band to attach the headlight to the handlebars. Which did work. Other than that you have to cut and splice in wire to extend the headlight.

I received the front rack with the adventure plate today. Indeed, the front light cable is too short by a good 4 inches so I cut the cable and spliced an extension cable in. I decided to mount my front light upside down so that it wouldn't interfere with cargo that could protrude beyond the...

I just pulled apart the front light on my 2022 Vado 4.0 and there might be enough slack in the cable. Does anyone know what the internal cable routes look like inside the frame? Where the cable for the light terminates? I don't want to pull too hard but I'd say I got a good 12" extra length...

I think those photos are photoshopped and if not they clearly show that if the fork compresses it will damage the light and/or the rack. Indeed, there is not enough slack in the cable. I just ordered it.

I think I am ordering it (99% there)... trying to see if I have enough cable to extent the front light. I have the vado 4.0 and it looks like the fork light mount is moved and inverted to attach to the front frack. I need to take some measurements... but I could always splice in a cable...

I literally just got this txt (I am in the USA). Specialized Bicycle Components: Hi something you've been eyeing is back in stock. Snag it now before it sells out: Front Rack & Adventure Plate https://klv6.io/0/5MttDP

I agree with virtually everything that has been said. I ride alot. I charge to 100% every single time. I know it does degrade the battery faster but I honestly don’t care. The bike mechanic was likely hedging bets that you will not ride your ebike as much as you think you will (most don’t) so he...

Indeed. Yesterday I rode to my local dispensary and there was a bicycle already locked to the rack by the main door. So I rode to the front of the building which has more racks and also faces a busy street and has a bar with an open patio within 7' of the racks (with people around). When I...
