Thank you @Stefan Mikes and @gpburdell! I have registered the bike on the Specialized website. However, I'm not seeing anything about a prescribed "warranty service". The only thing related to maintenance/servicing in the warranty paperwork is that the warranty is void under "Failure to...

After getting some useful input from Art, Stefan, and others, I decided to go with a full-power Vado rather than an SL. I'm now the happy owner of a Vado 5.0 IGH. I've only ridden it the 5 miles home from the LBS, but I'm already loving it! A few questions for the wisdom of this group: Has...
