I think I’m confused. Were all these bikes Euro-limited and the Vado wasn’t? It’s no faster than 100 other bikes.

Thanks and Wow! 9K miles and no issues. That is amazing.

Yup, I have sport set to 50/50, great for wind! In fact wind is one of the main reasons I love ebikes. We have a lot of it in FL, and a strong headwind is just brutal on an unpowered bike...

Literally! Took it for a short ride last night and will do a short one today. Have riser bars coming today and will take it to the trails tomorrow. Feels like riding a moon lander on some puffy clouds 😁 Pretty excited...

To be honest, being an owner of a 2020 5.0, and now on my 4th ebike, I feel they are correct. I think at $5150 the bike is 15-20% overpriced. But there's a lot of that going around on the premium offerings of many model lines. Giant is making some good strides. I would have bought the Fastroad...

I don't care for the fender on the Vado either, so I removed it (photo above). This won't work for everyone of course but for the way I use the bike it works for me. I was on the fence in a major way between the Vado and a mountain bike. I agree mountain bikes are the most versatile - just put...

Yeah that tool requirement for battery removal was a terrible design choice (flaw), and totally unnecessary. I think it's the 2nd biggest problem with the bike, the first being a lot of them don't work for long 😁 Which is why I didn't buy one. Good for you for getting out there! As for the...

Well, there are loads of differences between the Vado and the Creo. And I'm 52 and not getting any younger so it's probably not the bike for me. HOWEVER, as far as having to place a larger battery, I submit this example of a very elegant 700WH battery solution from the very same company: I...

Hmmm. That's a cool bar for sure. I don't see it adding much to a suspension fork though. Looks like it's meant to ease small bumps on flat bar fitness/city bikes. I had a Specialized Sirrus X that I traded when I got the Vado, had about 3/4" suspension in the stem. Similar goal, helped with...

I do have a Vado. Now that you mention it I may have not tried that with the Vado yet. I will try it and report back.

I will do that. I've never ridden a Bosch so it should be interesting. I'll also be comparing it to the Brose on my Vado. I'm sure it will be a lot louder... Being delivered Monday!

That's correct, I ordered a right mirror and mounted it left. It works really well for me. I just have to bend my wrist up slightly to get a full view.

500-mile update: I got a 40-mile ride in yesterday and have about 520 miles now. It really is a fantastic bike. The only negative things I can say about it are: - The front fork is a weak spot. For $5K+ they should put a better fork on it. I've planned an upgrade but haven't gotten around to...

50mm riser bars from Deity (30mm trimmed off each side):

I use the Park PCS-10. Always remove the battery. Usually clamp onto the Thudbuster, though sometimes the top tube. Works perfectly for me.

Nice bike. I was looking for a trail bike rather than AM or Enduro so that's more travel than I need, but I like it! Within an hour we have Alafia, Balm Boyette, Flatwoods and Carlton. Then there is Santos and others a bit further out. Mostly flat but Alafia is an old mine and has some...

It’s a 2019 so previous gen Bosch CX. Not my number 1 choice for motor but I’m not complaining. And thanks! Pretty excited. Really want to get into the woods...

Thanks for the input gentlemen. So, this happened: The people I bought my 2017 from were able to make me a deal I just could NOT say no to! Should have it in about 10 days 😁 NX Eagle, Magura, RockShox, DT Swiss. It's quite a package I think.

Hello all, I am seriously considering this bike: https://www.haibikeusa.com/sduro/sport-fullsuspension/fullseven-lt/sduro-fullseven-lt-7-0-h-24.html I'm weighing the price difference between this and a Giant Trance or YT Decoy against the possibility of having service and warranty problems. I'm...

I have to chime in on a positive note for Juiced. My first electric was a CCS, and it's what got me addicted. I rode the hell out of it 100-150 miles per week for 3,000 miles and never had a problem. Sure, it's not bike shop/big brand quality, but it's also not $5,150 like my Vado. I paid $1799...
