    Specialized Vado 4.0 - Beware

    What is a "Spesh" bike ? I bounce my bike over curbs without problems. And it's a "cheap Chinese" bike. Oh, wait, Specialized is made in China too !

    Specialized Vado 4.0 - Beware

    Great bike until the frame cracks and you have to wait two years ? No thanks. I'll keep my 35mph "Pig in a Poke".

    Get a good helmet, and wear it.

    I don't get all the crashes on this forum. Older guys with balance problems ? I have never fallen off my bike except for one time when I thought winter riding was a good idea. Some people need helmets. And maybe, body armor.

    He was implying older fat bikes have cheap cells. I'm sure some do and some don't.

    And in Amsterdam, not a helmet in sight. Starts at 4 minutes.

    E-bikes and weight loss - a case study

    It's a decent supplement to a complete exercise regimen that must include upper body work that biking has little or no effect on. And also include core work.

    Disable Throttle

    Should be a quick connect somewhere. Then take the thumb throttle off.

    Does it exist..??? A fat-tire bike (generally for sandy, or snowy roads) with the power of a serious e-MTB (apt for steep hills, off-roads) ..??

    I don't notice hardly any self steer with my V-Tire Speedsters. But, I'm more of a get on that motor scooter and ride than micro analyzing every aspect of riding a bike.

    They are trying to sell to Europe...

    Why be so concerned of what other people ride ? Sounds so petty and childish. I like my bike but it's not for everyone and that's OK.

    They are trying to sell to Europe...

    And Taiwan is the Republic of China. And why would we ever think that the Chinese couldn't make a good bike ? First, it isn't that hard and much as I don't like it , they are damn good at quality production. Look at Chinese Hi-fi. Hard to beat at the price they sell it at.
