The Vado and Como have entered the market earlier and most of the starting questions have been answered/solved. It's hard to buy them presently so there aren't many newbies around. The happy Vado and Como owners seem to ride out instead of hanging around in forums. ;)

They coast.

Or even Shimano XT CS-M771-10 11-36 T, same cog range.

... What failure rates are you talking about, I just didn't get that, as you've done first 500 miles only, w/o issues? The reality is posted here and is far away from the experience of people who didn't dare to check how to ride a powerful ebike. But that ebike-power if used heavily thoughtless...

Hmm. Better check that first by taking your Shimano CS-HG500-10 cassette off your bike and try to take it apart. Looking at the explosion drawing 8 cogs seem to be a riveted block and only the two smallest cogs are seperate. Only 11t, 12t or 13t cogs are offered single in the afterbuy market...

Frame designed by and BTO for Specialized. So who's to blame? At least Specialized stands for their product.

Agreed that 3-tooth-jumps are noticeable (even the CS-M7000: 11-13-15-17-19-21-24-28-32-37-42t has them between 24 - 42t) but I would rather change to a Shimano 10-speed CS-HG500-10 11-32 or 11-34 cassette if closing that gap (15 -21) is my aim. 11-32 comes with 11-12-14-16-18-20-22-25-28-32Z...

So instead of cog 18 you would get 17 - 19 cog? And all the rest is the same. My 2c: too much fuss changing the drivetrain components for that (little?) effect.

That's why you should shift down before you start climbing the hill, and yes, stop pedaling for a moment when shifting is the best you can do for smooth shifting and longer drivetrain life. Proven.

Typical beginner user mistakes piled up. It helps to read in forums if you're new to a topic. The smallest cog is not for permanent use under high load and will quit. Wear can be seen by an attentive user before the damage is to big. Simply changing the smallest cogs in due time for a dime and...

There is a recommended max. speed of 130 km/h on the German Autobahn. About 1/3 of the German Autobahn is even limited to a lesser max. speed of 120 km/h or 100 km/h. Dense traffic limits your speed as well especially on Autobahn with only two lanes. If you exceed the recommended max. speed of...

200 mph = 320 km/h. There ain't many cars or motorbikes capable to go that speed. So only very few people can drive that on the Autobahn in Germany if it's an empty road and early Sunday morning. A number of car producers limited their cars to 250 km/h by voluntary agreement and so is my V8 BMW...

Easy, just loosen the four screws of the motor cover: https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/vado-3-0-specialized-brose-1-2s-motor-serial-number.43855/post-441568

18 Nm (information from LBS)

The four screws are: two on the top end and two at the lower end of the motor cover. You can take off the lower part of the motor cover afterwards. Then you can see two more screws at the top that hold the upper part of the motor cover, loosen them as well. Now you might be able to lift the...

Yes, there is a specific Brose motor number on the outside of the motor housing. Just loosen the four screws of the motor cover, and you should be able to see the type and number of the motor.

Sorry, I don't know.

#1 I measured and marked it with a line 2cm all around the head of the stem (it is aluminium so it's soft metal) and followed the line while sawing. To get it even perfectly I grinded it afterwards first with a grindstone and then with a metal file, levelling it thoroughly on a flat surface...

😆 😅 OK. Done as ordered. 😊 Learning by doing, I suppose you wanted to say. And if your memory/mind is playing tricks on you it seems your strategy to fight that is: repeat mistakes often enough until you can remember that you shouldn't make them ... 😇 Ohh, life would be less enthralling...
