Nice.....

The crazy thing is, I have ridden with guys who were part of the Tour de France, and they love the fact that they can ride the Specialized Creo's on "off" days. If they are not cheating, neither are we. Ebikes have opened up so much to those who couldn't go as far on an analog bike. I love...

Awesome....great looking bike. I also like you, owned a Vado SL 4, and swapped it out for the Full Power Vado 4....still the bar to beat as far as engineering and ride feel go. I will say, Velotric is getting there, and I like the nimbleness of this bike. This weekend, I will take it out for...

My First Impressions of the Velotric Breeze 1 – A Stylish, Surprising Ride From the moment I hopped on the Velotric Breeze 1, I was impressed. It's light, fast, and more powerful than it looks, and the satin white paint job is absolutely gorgeous in person. The bike feels responsive and nimble...

UPDATE: Took the Vorsa out today in Eco mode using the cadence sensor, with a mix of Tour, Sport, and occasional throttle. Ended the ride with about 41 miles covered and still had 41% battery remaining. The battery efficiency is noticeably better than what I used to get on my old Prodigy V2...

I also purchased a Vado 4 for $2750, which was a better deal than the Trek 8s, and it is certainly NOT a throw away bike. The ebike market has quickly changed, and most bicycle manufacturers frames are made by Giant. Times are changing, and owning 13 ebikes in the last 4 years, I can see the...

Not a complaint at all concerning the Trek 8s, as it was a great bike, and solid in every way. It is my observation, from my perspective. The Vado 4, always seemed like the better deal of the two....and it was cheaper. For me, the Vado never needed one thing from the word go....Happy riding.

I just purchased a Velotric Breeze 1 a few days ago, and will pick it up tomorrow.....can't wait.

Since 2022, I’ve owned two Trek Allant+ 8S e-bikes, and both delivered impressive performance. The first bike gave me 4,500 miles of flawless, uninterrupted service. The second followed closely behind with 7,700 miles, only experiencing a single battery issue, which Trek resolved by replacing...

Let me start by saying, this bike is impressive. The Ride1Up Vorsa is solidly built, and I really appreciate that they took the time to smooth out the welds. That kind of detail matters. I've owned 11 e-bikes over the years, Specialized, Trek, Giant, and even the Ride1Up Prodigy V2. I still have...

After a year of riding and for the most part, really enjoying the Prodigy V2 eBike, I ultimately decided to part ways with it. It wasn't an easy decision, because I truly believe this is a very good bike. In fact, I’ve owned several Specialized eBikes over the years, and the Prodigy holds its...

Yesterday, just after hitting 7,400 miles on my trusty Trek 8s, the original chain finally gave out and broke. Fortunately, I was only about 5 miles from home, so I was able to coast most of the way back, taking full advantage of every downhill stretch. Now, I fully admit, I probably should’ve...

April 2025....not one issue with the new Vado 4. Life is back to normal.....

LATEST UPDATE: After careful consideration, Specialized has agreed to replace my bike with a brand-new one, which speaks to why I continue to choose brands like Specialized and Trek. Both companies consistently uphold their commitment to excellence and stand behind their products. While these...

Nope...they never did...but a follow-up is coming shortly.

Update. Well, Specialized did replace the motor under warranty, which was great. Yet, after bringing the bike home, and riding for 5 consecutive days, a loud noise (sort of a clicking sound) can be heard after each pedal rotation. I have since returned the ebike, and have asked for a refund...

My first Specialized 2022 Vado (red) was an absolutely perfect machine. I rode it seamlessly for 4,000 miles without a single issue. After selling that bike to a relative, I bought a black 2023 Vado 4. Unfortunately, this bike had problems from the start, including charging issues and error...

My Review of the 2024 Ride1Up Prodigy V2 XR (Chain Version) After clocking 1000 miles on the V2, it's time for an update. Ride1Up has truly outdone themselves with this ebike. It’s robustly built, sports an excellent paint job, and features top-notch components. Powered by a Brose motor with...

Yes, sharp bike for sure, comfortable and fast...well built.

Greetings. The V2 has been great, and when I did have the rack, I ran standard Basil and Topeak bags with no problems. The rack is very sturdy, and panniers would not be a problem. I removed the front and rear racks because I just wanted a fun bike to ride single track on and explore. I also own...
