The physical throttle control itself that comes with the 700 is already variable. But just don't use PAS and pedal while using throttle to take advantage of the variable throttle.

Someone in the FB users group replaced theirs: https://www.facebook.com/groups/264729534163214/posts/983110102325150/

He's got a new video review here:

Since it's happening to a lot of other people, I would put most of the blame on the design. Unbelievable. I've seen a lot of poor engineering designs that leave me scratching my head.

A 2022 Vado 3.0 in red showed up at a bike shop that is a full 4 hour round trip. I wish it was closer to test ride. If I was going to get one, that would probably be my best bet. But, I'm not cutting back on my work schedule this year as I was planning, so might hold off another year - still...

About 6' here with a 32" inseam. 700 XR works fine for me. Mine came with the adjustable stem, which I used to pivot up the handlebars a little. I've put a suspension seat post on mine that is 350 mm. You could get a 400 mm one if you need more seat height.

Wow. I ride my 62 pound e-bike with no electric power assist a lot of the time. I bought an e-bike to tame the hills and strong headwinds, but a lot of my riding is on fairly flat roads without headwinds, so I am in PAS 0 a lot of the time, and I step it up for hills and headwinds. My main...

This video shows what the power setting configuration looks like on the KD218 display used in the Ride1Up 700 and LMT'D.

All that "peddling" when you should be "pedaling." lol

Sorry, but that is just wrong! And that's 5 Ride1Up models, not 4. Of the 5 Ride1Up bikes you mentioned, ALL have front suspensions except for the Core-5. The 500, 700, Cafe Cruiser, and LMT'D all have one, and that's clearly shown in the pictures on their product pages. Once I get rolling...

"too much power in the lowest PAS". That's why I went with Ride1up. The Core-5, 500, 700, LMD'T, and probably the Cafe Cruiser all allow you to adjust the amount of power (as a percentage setting) that you want in each assist level as well as the range of assist levels. I have my PAS 1 set to...

I have a one year old 700 with the Shengyi. The power output will change with the charge on the battery and the power percentage setting for the PAS assist level you are using. I have my highest assist level set to 100%, and with a good charge (yet not full charge), it will max out my power...

Saw this posted over on the Ride1Up FB group also.

It looks Ride1Up is going to change how the throttle works when using PAS in the near future. Kevin from Ride1Up posted on Facebook a short time ago: "It's variable unless your PAS is already engaged. If PAS/motor is already engaged, on current generations, it will act as a boost. This comment...

New unused Como 3.0 about 90 miles from me for $2950. It's been there for months. I had called in to confirm. I think it's a 2021 model - crimson/black, step-over.

Yeah, I posted about that a couple days ago in another thread. It looks like some info in that review may be incorrect: https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/specialized-turbo-vado-como-tero-user-club.31893/page-134#post-508232

I think Court didn't check and was going by the spec sheet. Here's what it shows on the U.S. Specialized site for the three 2022 Vado bikes mentioned: Factoring in the comparisons in the pictures of the bikes and the Polish site specs saying 48T for the 4.0 ST, I think the U.S. site is in...

In reference to the new 2022 models of the Vado, I see the new EBR review of the Vado 4.0 Step-Through says it has a 40T chainring. Court even states verbally that it's a 40T. Specialized's website confirms that. Yet, the Specialized website says the Vado 4.0 Step-Over has a 48T chainring...

0-9 was the max, but it's very unlikely it would have been defaulted even to 0-9. Just like my 700, the 0-5 seems to be the standard default. At least over the last two years, not sure about some of those much earlier Ride1Up generations as there is so little feedback back during those times...

Something is wrong there. If you're on the default PAS range of 0-5, and you are only going 13-14 mph in PAS 4 (out of 5) on a flat road, something isn't right. You should probably be going over 20 mph. I use the 0-7 range on my R1U 700 with custom power set for each assist level to my...
