Wow...you get a lot of riding in. What is your range in ECO mode on the 8s if you don't mind me asking...without the Range Extender? I usually get around 90 miles, averaging a tad over 15mph. In SPORT mode, i get roughly 35 or 36 running at about 20mph. Thanks....

Excellent...I am going to try your suggestion, and will share pictures when I am done. Thanks.

I like it, great job. Do you think it will hold under load? How tight is the fit around the 8s rack itself?

Nice...my MIK top plate arrived today, and I will be doing the same this week. I will upload pictures when I am done. I got rid of the Cobi Smartphone Hub when I purchased the 8s in March, and replaced it with the Kiox aftermarket kit. It works great, and to be honest, this is the display...

I have owned two Vado 4's (2022 and 2023) and they are EXCELLENT bikes. For the money, and I say this as an owner of 10 e-bikes over time, including Giant and Trek, none of those manufacturers match Specialized' s engineering. The pedaling of the Vado 4 is extremely intuitive and buttery...

The Vado 4 is a steal at the current price, and even at the normal $4,000.00 (US), it is extremely hard to beat. The ride is super smooth, and the quality is unsurpassed. My first Vado 4 delivered 3500 trouble free miles. I tried the Vado 5 IGH, and was very disappointed in its performance...

Hello there! At one point, I owned a Giant Explore 2 GTS, which was a pretty decent ebike, but I found the 60nm of torque a bit lacking for my taste. I eventually switched to a Specialized Vado 4, and I had a fantastic experience riding it for a trouble-free 3500 miles, which were nothing short...

Nice...yes sir, I ride fast, mostly because of the paved trail in my neighborhood, and folks in spandex and riding the racing bikes. It is fun riding with them at times and drafting for 5 to 10 miles. Most of my rides are in all ECO at 35/35, and occasionally I will use Sport when coming home...

My '22 Vado 4 yielded roughly 90 miles in the ECO setting 35/35. I configured SPORT at 40/100 and this would routinely give me 50 miles, maybe 52 before the battery completely died. These are GREAT ranges. My second Vado 4 is being assembled at the LBS and I will be picking it up this week...

I have always wanted the Vado 5 because of the 90nm motor. I have a Trek 8s and a Giant Fastroad, and like to ride FAST. I think the IGH is great for commuting, makes sense, but for those of us who like the catch the wind....the cassette/derailleur wins. Just my two cents.

LAST UPDATE on my Vado 5 IGH: I want to inform you that I have come to the decision to return the Vado 5 IGH bicycle. Unfortunately, the bike's performance did not meet my expectations, as I value a dynamic and speedy riding experience, which the Vado 5 IGH failed to provide. Having previously...

No issues at all with the controller as it relates to the Specialized app. Yes, I have to place it in manual mode at every restart, and this appears to be the way it is configured from Enviolo. I am just happy to have the option. Thanks...

Yes, and absolute must. This drivetrain is butter smooth....

SECOND UPDATE: I'm thrilled to share that the woes with my Vado 5 IGH have finally been rectified. Taking the bike to a different shop proved to be a game-changer, highlighting the disparities in assembly quality between the two shops. The first shop's lack of expertise became apparent when...

Yes, the manual option just works better for me. Thanks.

UPDATE: The Vado 5 IGH in the first week of ownership, started displaying a flashing 01% battery message on the Mastermind screen. While charging, the battery never indicated the charge level, it would just flash 1% and continue to charge. I knew it was finished charging when the display...

That is a fact....a fantastic bike, and truly a great value...in my opinion as a previous owner.

Greetings....there are never any Vado 5 IGH's in stock for me to compare....anywhere. Not even the non IGH versions are available. Looks like the Specialized Sale has also come to an end......

Thanks sir, and I will suggest that. This should be seamless, but it appears testing was not complete or to a sufficient level. I did drop the bike off today (new LBS) to see if they can get the automatic setting calibrated. I will provide an update.

Thanks for the response.......no, I use 2.4's on the Vado 4 and Trek 8s....plenty of clearance, no rubbing. 8000 miles on the Moto X's on multiple ebikes and not one flat...knock on wood. Take care....
