    "Radar error check app" on 2022 Turbo Vado 5.0 IGH

    Hi, I've recently received two "radar error check app" errors on my 2022 Vado 5.0 IGH. This happened yesterday and today on my commute to work. It was raining both days, but I live in Vancouver and it rains frequently, and this is the first time I have received the error. (Actually, it may...

    Dumb question: which way do I turn wrench to remove crank arm on 2022 Vado 5.0?

    I am not sure! But I did set the chip to automatically start when the bike starts, so hopefully that will have the same effect as Always On.

    Dumb question: which way do I turn wrench to remove crank arm on 2022 Vado 5.0?

    On my bike, I do not have a dedicated walk button. Instead, the + is the walk mode button. So perhaps the PearTune works a bit differently on my bike? I know that entering the chip service menu is different on my bike than others... For example, my bike definitely works differently than shown...

    Dumb question: which way do I turn wrench to remove crank arm on 2022 Vado 5.0?

    Oh, interesting! I had only tried it while stopped. I'll give that a try on the ride home today. I assume this only works when you're in Turbo mode then? (otherwise, + would just change your assist level).

    Dumb question: which way do I turn wrench to remove crank arm on 2022 Vado 5.0?

    Hi, thanks again for your advice. I commuted into work this morning, and just wanted to follow up. So when I first started up my bike this morning, I couldn't get the walk button to do anything except to change the assist level, and start the bike in walk mode. So, I pressed the light button...

    Dumb question: which way do I turn wrench to remove crank arm on 2022 Vado 5.0?

    So I rode the bike into work today. I still couldn't figure out how to enable/disable the PearTune, but I did press the light button, and then +/- 10 times, and confirmed that my maximum speed was set to 45 kmh. As soon as I got onto a section with a longish stretch (no stops or turns), I...

    Dumb question: which way do I turn wrench to remove crank arm on 2022 Vado 5.0?

    Thanks for your quick reply! I did press the walk button for 1 second, and it just kept saying 0. But after playing around with it for about 30 minutes, and watching their YouTube video, I found out that I can press F1 (the top button that controls the light), and then I can press +-+-+-+-+-...

    Dumb question: which way do I turn wrench to remove crank arm on 2022 Vado 5.0?

    Hi, I've now installed the peartune, but cannot figure out how to activate it! Could you tell me what buttons you press to do this? Thanks!

    Dumb question: which way do I turn wrench to remove crank arm on 2022 Vado 5.0?

    not yet! I had to order a Park Tool torque wrench, and have been travelling for work, so I'm planning to do it this weekend when I get home!

    Dumb question: which way do I turn wrench to remove crank arm on 2022 Vado 5.0?

    Thanks! Yeah, I think it was you thread that I saw earlier that suggested it came off the other way!

    Dumb question: which way do I turn wrench to remove crank arm on 2022 Vado 5.0?

    Thanks! That's what I assumed, but this video for a Vado SL showed them doing it clockwise to remove, so I got confused https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/specializeds-ultra-light-120-mile-range-e-bike-turbo-vado-sl.33777/page-11#post-283941

    Dumb question: which way do I turn wrench to remove crank arm on 2022 Vado 5.0?

    Hi, I'm going to install PearTune on my 2022 Vado 5.0 IGH. Does anyone know if I should turn the wrench counterclockwise or clockwise to remove the left-hand side crank arm? I've found conflicting information about this. Sorry for the dumb question!

    Experience Thread: A noobie getting into a specialized vado 5.0 IGH

    Can we move the conversation into the appropriate area of the forum. This has nothing to do with Specialized.

    So can this thread die finally, now that the discussion has strayed far, far from anything remotely Specialized e-bike?

    Void warranty

    Hey Kevin, I have about the same km on my Vado, but my commute is way shorter (only about 15 minutes each way haha). I am glad to hear you are liking the bike. I certainly love mine. I did order a derestrictor chip and am waiting for it to arrive from Czech Republic (unfortunately I asked for...

    Pre-sales advice: Vado 4.0 for Seattle hills?

    I've got a Vado 5.0 IGH and it's amazing on our hills in Vancouver. I would strongly recommend it over the 4.0. The belt drive and IGH are game changers, greasy dirty chains and dreauillers suck!

    Como 5.0 IGH 2023?

    I think most companies release models in two year cycles. Since there were new models introduced for 2022, I think there probably will not be any major changes for 2023 - maybe different colors?

    Front brake starts rubbing in rain

    Thanks! So far I've only noticed the rubbing after a commute in the rain. So far, it's stopped once the bike dries and/or warms up. I'm going to keep an eye on it though
