I've watched almost all videos Alex put up on the tube- my understanding is that planet3 tricks the computer into thinking it is only doing 1/3 of the speed it is actually doing, thus practically removing the speed restriction. Main issue will be gearing- stock Vado takes literally less than 4...

Yes, but only for few seconds- as you pointed out, heavy bike, lots of drag. But it is doable. With badassbox it was relatively easy to maintain 25MPH, either on flat, or small incline. I'm really curious how planet 3 compares.

Couldn't get the bear skin on short notice- this will have to do... BTW- took less than 48 hours from placing the order to having it delivered to Brexitstan- not bad at all. Soooo, will this enable the bike to do ~45MPH? Place your bets now...

45KM/H= 28MPH- I can do this on a stock Vado without any derestrictors. Planet3 should allow Vado to get to 45MPH (just over 70KM/H)- not that I'd ever want to go that fast, just interested if it is capable of getting to that speed...

Thanks Stefan. I've decided to give the planet3 gizmo a go- should arrive in few days. I think it is a neat solution, with only few minor drawbacks- i don't think this bike is capable of doing 45MPH, so this is going to be an interesting test. On a closed airstrip, that my friend owns- obvs...

Poor quality and no support for command Control app but the map was nice-ish, well, if memory serves- it broke within first few months... and it had a usb charging point which was nice. not sure why Specialized did away with that0 it would be really useful to have...

OK, maybe I exaggerated a bit- frame is exactly the same as 2019 (lets hope without manufacturing flaw this time)- but components feel/ look cheap- from grab handles to lights- I was gutted when I realized that the funky light bar on a rear rack was replaced with an LED mounted on a rear fender...

Hiya/ Cześć Yes, Specialized upgraded the previous bike as the other display broke.

Hello, Decided to bump this up instead of starting another thread. Has anyone in the UK got in trouble because of riding derestricted bike? Not counting riding like a moron as Alex says, but just cycling sensibly and paying attention to surroundings/ traffic/ pedestrians and so on. I've have...

Finally, it came home... Just a quick one to wrap this up- I've picked up a replacement Vado 3.0 just couple of hours ago. First impressions. Not really impressed. With this bike. I'm sure most people can tell just by looking/ touching two identical products which one is inferior- Vado 2021...

Thanks for sharing AZ- unbelievable they made you wait 8 months. Great that they eventually sorted you out. I've got a hilarious update from my LBS, you just couldn't write the script. So, they said, that due to shortage of aluminium, factory has no materials to manufacture replacement bike/...

Further lack of update... OK, at this point this is going ot be a wee moan. Last email from LBS received on 21April, stating that bike "should" be ready around 20th may. I sent them a nice email a week ago asking "are we there yet?" kind of questions- no response, just wall of silence. I'll...

Lack of update :( It's been a month and a half since I left my bike @conceptstore. I'm trying to be patient but this is really bugging me now- I can see they do have couple of bikes "in stock" and I told them I do not care about the colour of the darn thing, so why is this taking so long...

Semi final update. I've accepted 2021 Vado 3.0 as replacement. Have not decided yet whether to bother with asking them to swap the motor yet- pros cancel out cons, so I'll probably keep it in stock config and if it turns out to be much worse, I'll flog it and buy something else... Thanks to all...

I'm not sure. Bike has covered several thousands of miles and although it's maintained regularly all these miles equal wear. And on top, if I take a new bike, I'd assume that it's fully covered by the warranty and if they do the swap, the only remaining warranty will be the frame. Ps. Broken...

I've asked- they said not. No cross country transfer allowed/ possible. So down to two options; -complete new bike - new frame and old components Taking into account disadvantages, if I take a new bike and decide that it's not for me, it will be easier to sell than old components on new frame-...

Thanks. I'll ping this over to them, not much to loose at this point.

Thanks Allan. Vado SL EQ looks super cool. Half assist but also almost half the weight, of Vado 3, I could probably live with that...

In their last message they said that "all Vado 4.0 2021 stock is sold out. Allocated and unavailable and nothing can be done". I like a bit of a challenge but since the UK left the biggest club this side of the pond, everything is slow. That fog you mentioned is all around this isle... Joking...

Ok, fair enough. Not a big fan of transplants. I'll double check if they are offering complete new bike with new battery as replacement and if so, if they would let me keep my used battery as well. If so, then I'll probably accept, how bad this 1.2e be.
