I just read thru all the posts about the vado not turning on. That is what mine is doing. It came on just for a second to show batteries level - good. This happened once before but when I started riding it, it came on. Not this time. Nothing to do wth stealth mode - that just hides the lights...

Hi - I also removed my fenders so I could put stubby tires on - but the LBS (specialized shop) rigged up a bracket from another bike to hold the rack in place. I'm thankful to have the rack and it does not inhibit the tire size. Also I ordered another tail light unit which comes with the cord...

THANKS! mschwett

Thanks mjeds, I have previously ordered one of these. Right now I'm hoping for responses about the handlebars. Appreciate your time.

I'm glad it worked for you. Given your size and gender that is understandable. Really, I'd rather just leave this stem riser issue aside and look for info from anyone who has changed their handlebars. Thanks

Thanks, as I mentioned a stem riser is not the answer I need. But appreciate your response. I'm a small framed women, our geometry is different - I really need the raised handlebars. Just wanting to see if anyone has done the raised handlebars. BTW - stay safe.

I have both a Levo SL and a Vado SL. I've barely ridden my Levo SL, mostly due to the low forward handlebar. I either need to sell it or change it. I prefer to change it. Spring and summer trails are calling and I want to change my Levo SL handlebars to an upward position. I'm not looking to do...

Thanks -- I use the on board bike computer, not a wahoo. It does not give separate battery reads - nor does my MC. Just reads it as one unit.

Good luck - why did you decide to get a new bike?

On my Vado 5 SL If I discharge RE first, power/assistance drops - at anywhere between 106%-103%. It continues to stay in that dropped spot - until it comes back on full at 96%-98%. Someone here explained why it happens. I hate it. But if you plan to use two RE it is the best way to ride. If you...

Thanks so much for the very thorough reply. You are obviously very knowledgeable about bikes, and it is kind of you to take the time to write up all your responses. I'm looking forward to doing a lot of trail riding this summer, as well as portions of the GDMBR, so considering all my options...

Perfect! - thanks so much for the information. I've ridden the creo and found that pedal height to be fine so that helps. I sent your info to light bicycle as below and this was their response: Is this correct? So if you change the wheel size do you have to change the cassette and chain and...

Thanks again for the great info. I was at a specialized shop today and told them about your post. I did have one additional question. Did you happen to measure pedal height from the ground at the lowest on the 700c vs the 27.5? I know some complain about this issue with the 26B - so wondering if...

Thanks so much for the follow up. I will look into your suggestions. I changed my handlebars to Box One Triple Cromo flat 31.8 BMX bars with a 6" rise. (I think).... needed the more upward seating position for neck problems.

Thanks for the post. Also with a Vado 5 eq SL, in SoCA. I've also changed handlebars, pedals, seat, front light (mounted to side of fork with velcro/viola strap) raised handlebars, had new cables run to add length to allow a high handlebar (bad neck on my part). Anyway - When I went to change...

Thanks - I have an update as well. Will write later

Thanks - I did read the info on the web site. seems worth looking into it.

Thanks for your input thru out the thread. With Velo insurance do they require that you first make a claim with other entities? Homeowners, or car is stolen from the car?

Thank you Stefan - you are a smart guy who exceeds my battery capacity. (LOL - that's a joke). :) Could you say a few words about your axis? I don't know what WH/KM and Wh/mi means. That would better help me to understand your graph. My total ride this day was 36 miles, which is longer than...

Got it - enjoy your riding.
