    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    I had a set of Specialized Pathfinder Pro 2Bliss 38-622 installed today. On my initial ride I was very impressed. Quiet, comfortable, steady, and noticeably lighter than the Nimbus that came with my bike. Stefan, thank you for your recommendation!

    Specialised turbo Vado SL 5.0 EQ my impressions after four rides

    How do the “Sport” and “Pro” differ? Why are the tan sidewalls most sought… simply aesthetics?

    Turbo Vado SL - suspension seat posts

    I’ll state the obvious… instal a redshift seat post, cut the wire, and use something like a Cliq light or other. Problem solved.

    Direct to consumer-bypass the local bike shop? This will become a long thread

    One would certainly hope that Specialized thought about how they would continue to provide solid support to customers if they piss off their dealers. If not, it will be their demise.

    2022 Turbo Vado and Turbo Tero comparison: Same bike?

    I’m right there with you. I was hell bent on getting the light weight Vado SL 5.0 EQ until Specialized introduced the new Vado 5.0. Despite the heavier weight, I’m now thinking the Vado 5.0 is probably the better bike for me.
