That video is on a different bike and I have done that before on other bikes, However, from what I understand on this bike, a Turbo Vado SL, The rear cable is jammed in there against the batterry and around the motor and won’t slide. I did check to see if the current cable can slide at all. It...

They can. For a Turbo Vado SL cable runs thru the frame, the motor and battery have to be dropped to position cables. So if they’d do that for 30 thats super reasonable. This shop wants to replace the brakes as well presumably just because its easier since Shimano brakes are prebled and they...

No issues with riding or braking except that the handle bars cannot be positioned for the small wife's comfort. Yes I am likely to return if I find a local shop bike with the longer cables.

The cables are already assembled from factory. They don’t cut cables. All they really do is mount front wheel, bars and insert seatpost I think.

Of all the e-bikes we tested for my wife, this bike seemed the best for her and the only one she liked. More intuitive natural assist, lighter weight, nimble handling, The first one we got thru a shop worked out well as I was able to DIY easily modify stem height and riser bars for my petite...

I just got one of these and tried it. No dice. Not enough clearance.

My recent experience was with some Bontrager carbon rims and the stock Bontrager tires they came with on my Trek Super-Caliber cross country bike. Getting the tires off was super hard as they did not want to release from the rim seal. Then getting back on was super super tough. I want to try...

Will definitely try those RideNow TPUs on my bikes first. Sounds like you are like me. I love to wrench and tinker with optimizing setups etc. and now its on my wife's new bike. But I’m unlikely to stay tubeless because while I like wrenching I don’t like the tubeless goops and refresh every...

So how tough was it to stretch on mount the 45 width Schwalbe G-One Allrounds in 45 on the stock Vado SL rim? I have always done my own bike work including building wheels in the past. But by far the hardest PITA thing lately especially on my tubeless ready carbon rim mtn bike is talking off...

Thanks much for the tire recommendations. Are the Turbo Vado SL 4.0 rims tubeless ready? I’ve read conflicting things on that. I did put on a TranzX QL antishock post but yep better tires are a good idea. I do wish there was a shorter dropper shock post that would fit length-wise on her step...

Has anyone tried this carrier rack Racktime Shine Evo IMM on their non Turbo Vado SL 4.0? The IMM mudguard mount looks promising but I haven’t inspected a Turbo Vado SL EQ closely. This question was also posted a few years ago with no answer.

Yep he was de-stressing and trying to relieve woundup or twisted spokes with that process. The wheel I posted about had spot on even tension according to my TM-1 gauge on every spoke on each side but some of the spokes were a bit twisted so the tension wasn’t really even after de-stressing with...

Don’t think the true issue was due to a knock in transit because I could tell the wheels weren’t de-stressed and there was some windup in a few spokes. Glad to hear this may not be a wide spread issue. We are getting another one for a different home and will do more unpaved riding as well so...

My wife gets about 60 miles on three 20 mile rides before we get to about 20% left on her Turbo Vado SL 4.0. Some hills, some steep and headwinds and she is using all modes. More and more sport mode and some turbo as she has gotten more confident. She weighs 125. I ordered a range extender...

I got my wife a Turbo Vado SL 4.0 Step thru. At $2500 its by far the best I’ve seen and my skittish wife liked the assist levels and control and the bike is not so heavy. She’s 5 ft or a bit less and I had to get riser bars and a steerer extension which all worked without having to redo any...
