    Vado 3.0 Range Maximization

    Ahh yes, I’d forgotten about Smart Control. Thanks! and yes 50 miles. About 20 years ago I did two Century rides a few months apart on a regular road bike. Ain’t gonna happen now. I hurt for a week after those rides. At the 80 mile mark of one of the rides, there was snacks and a big...

    Vado 3.0 Range Maximization

    My wife and I each have Vado 3.0’s and are riding in the Solvang Half Century in a couple weeks. We were going to ride our Tandem, but couldn’t get into shape quickly enough. Solvang is hilly and I’m concerned about the battery range. On some recent training rides I’ve inflated the tires to...

    Transport Vado SL EQ

    We have two Vado 3.0’s and I clamp it right in front of the front fender. No problems yet. I check everything each time we stop the car.

    Specialized Firmware Update Fail

    I’m not able to do any updates thru my phone and wifI. I have to take the Vados and Levos into my LBS and they plug each bike into their computer.

    22 Vado SL 5.0 EQ Frame Bags/Storage Recommendations

    Look at the Ortlieb Rack Pack. I think that’s what it’s called. Very well made and it clips on the rack and locks in place with their special key.

    First time Electric Biker

    My buddy is an awesome road bike rider, very strong. His wife not so much. She bought a Specialized Creo, now they can ride together.

    First time Electric Biker

    My wife and I bought our first ebikes at 57 years old and love them. It makes us feel 20 again, and we still get a workout without the pain.

    A lot of the RC helicopter guys use a charging bunker make out of cement blocks. They are readily available at Lowes and Home Depot and are cheap.

    Frame wraps

    I installed the clear PPF on both our new Levos. It was a pain in the ass and didn’t come out perfect. I’d hate to try and do that one.

    Lupine SL X for New Turbo Levo

    Thanks Ravi, I’ll look at that one too. My wife and I are gonna ride our Vados to dinner tonight. We tried using them for the hilly single track near my house and it didn’t go so well. My wife went over the handlebars. My fault of course lol.

    Lupine SL X for New Turbo Levo

    Good morning, I’ll look at the Evo also. $250 and being able to move it to other bikes is definitely a plus. We’ve already got helmet lights. My wife won’t be bombing the downhills and I probably won’t either. It hurts too much, for too long when I crash at 60 years old lol.

    Lupine SL X for New Turbo Levo

    Okay thanks, I’ll look at that one too. We also have Vados, so I’m new to this light shopping thing. The lights I dug out of storage from when I rode when I was younger are all junk compared to the new LED stuff.

    Lupine SL X for New Turbo Levo

    Wow that’s amazing. I saw it in the summertime. I still remember the guy outside the hotel there wearing the Lederhosen (sp?). There was also a lady playing a harp inside the hotel and a dog asleep by her feet. Ahhh, what great memories, thanks! I need to buy two Lupines, one for me and...

    Two great rides in Ventura City.

    Sorry no photos. From Ventura to Carpinteria is all bike path or bike lane, alongside the ocean until you get into Carpinteria. There’s about 200 yards where the bike path puts you on the 101 freeway. We kicked it into Turbo mode, I didn’t like being alonside cars doing 70mph. Teddys is a...

    Lupine SL X for New Turbo Levo

    I just looked at the Supernova online. I like how they have a shroud around it making it look like it was made with the bike. Do you know if they have one for the 2022 Specialized Levo?

    Lupine SL X for New Turbo Levo

    -20* huh? I’ve never felt what that’s like, I’m in Southern California. I’ve been to Lake Louise on a Harley trip with some friends from work, it was spectacular. The best price I’m finding for the Lupine X is $420 and I can probably do the installation myself after watching the YouTube...

    Two great rides in Ventura City.

    We love that ride. Usually stop in Carp at Teddys for lunch. Six of us did the ride from Ventura to Ojai, spent the night in a hotel, then back the next day. Good times!
