I treat Specialized rides as a highly featured bike odometer, and I want to it to be very light touch and record everything. This is why it sounds like I would like the Bosch app. And neither Bosch or Specialized prevents me from using additional app(s) in parallel for special rides, which I...

I'm disappointed with the way they implemented distance field. There is no way to have it match Ride distance from Specialized app or just the odometer from first ride (that I found). To me it's very inconsistent & tedious to need to manually reset distance with handlebar controller AND...

Those are all good. Regarding belt tension, have them error on lower vs higher tension. I run mine at ~35 if I recall, which is the low end of spec. You may have a hard time reaching lower cadences if tension is too high. Next step if you have cadence issues is a 22T rear cog (yours may...

We can drift back to big Vado too :) if the goal is comfort on bumpy roads and a sweat free commute. Workout is great too when assist is off (which I do for exercise....I think it's hard to get a good workout on a bike because they are so efficient -- unless you don't need to worry about...

Well I guess you need more motor power! Presumably if you had unlimited motor power at your disposal, you wouldn't always pedal harder at the highest assist because you could easily maintain any speed. But these bikes (especially big vado) tease us by allowing well over 250W power as we surge...

Perhaps carrot effect is an SL phenomenon -- I have a vado 5.0, and generally just match the assist to the speed I want. It's easy to hit >25mph, so no need to try harder for the carrot (I'm happy with that speed). Although I do ride much harder when I have assist off! This would be when I...

That's no fun, hopefully it's something easy. The new firmware self calibrates, so perhaps you are not on the latest (it came out this summer I believe). I don't think everyone is super happy with it though, because apparently some report that it calibrates too often causing user to spin fast...

That's too bad -- that a lot of effort to downgrade to the old firmware. Hopefully Enviolo realizes R48 was a step in the wrong direction and they fix in R49. I don't even understand the value in doing a calibration so often... especially given low rate of calibration when it was a manual...

Hi all, This summer got away from me so just circling back :) Just wanted to see if anyone has any updates on R48 firmware performance -- hopefully issues have worked themselves out!

I had this issue earlier in the week. Like others, I had to to clear cache / storage and even uninstalled a couple times to get it to work again, and it was a challenge to get prompt to connect as a companion device. I did have some instances where app claimed it connected during setup, but...

I found that my Enviolo calibration was inconsistent at higher tension and I would not get the full gear ratio range on hub. I found this while troubleshooting a couple things while setting up the new bike (ie centering rear wheel, adjusting tension to troubleshoot the feel of ghost pedaling...

That's a good recommendation, I ended up buying one as well and I much prefer it to the app. The app is a great idea, but sadly it just didn't work well for me . I'm running at ~35lbs after some trial and error

Yeah, I don't know why they have such a high upper tension spec and why dealers think higher end of spec is better. Lots of issues between what we see with a seemingly simple solution. Glad you sorted out the tension issue as well -- neither of these bikes are fun when they don't work...

I really like it. Like you mentioned, I initially I had issues because the belt was too tight which ended up limiting max gear ratio. I fixed that and at the same time I swapped 24T to the 22T rear sprocket. Both the rear sprocket and belt tension probably caused issues for others and was...

Yes, your calcs are quite close. I believe it's a 36V battery. So a 4A charger into a 36V pack is 36x4=144W (power)...and if that power is maintained for one hour then you added 144Whr (energy). Which means a 625Whr battery would take 625/144=4.3hrs to charge (or ~2hrs for 50% or ~4hrs for...

That's great to hear! I have not yet upgraded but plan to do so. Do you know if you have the 22T or 24T rear cog?

I bought a Vado 5.0 IGH last summer, and found the last one in my area. But I had gone to other bike shops at the time that said it was "backordered" until June of 2024 but I could order one if interested. That corroborates June and loosely implies it should be a very similar model if they...

Good deal, it will be interesting to see if @Nonlinear can detect a difference You can update the firmware with the enviolo app. I have specialized app set to auto connect to bike. If you do too, make sure you kill Specialized app first so you can connect to enviolo app. I purchased the...

Enviolo posted new firmware a couple weeks ago for Automatiq (version R48 -- I'm on R47). Did anyone here try the update? I have not because it's working great and I don't have time to tinker if something goes awry, but I probably will at some point. Regarding changes, I don't believe the...
