    Mission Control App - Turbo Vado Solution Now Available

    600 x .98 = 588 604 × .98 = 591.92 Based on the math without any other evidence, I believe my battery is 604 not 600. I also believe BLEvo is accurately reading 98 % capacity 592 (at 100 % battery health) available for the ride. The last 2 % being unavailable to protect the battery. I'm thinking...

    Vado tire pressure

    I've read about tires slowly losing air over night. Before I applied slime I used to check once every two weeks. I never noticed any difference. I suppose it depends on the type of tube. These Specialized thorn resistant tubes hold air really well.

    What's your farthest ride on a single charge with a Vado?

    I noticed this too. If you barely push the top lever it shifts up and firmly it shifts down. The bottom lever just shifts up. Maybe it is my imagination.

    Specialized Turbo Vado/Como/Tero/Tero X User Club

    Maybe it has already been mentioned. I just found out that I can check the battery charging through Mission Control or BLEvo app. Bike is in the garage I'm in the bedroom. I can see the battery charging in either app. For those who want to monitor the charge when it reaches 80% or whatever. I...

    What's your farthest ride on a single charge with a Vado?

    I think I'm learning how to shift down before I hit the hills. Going up the hill pedal as much as I can on my own power. Then switch on ECO to help me sustain it at faster rate of speed.. I noticed I can go faster spinning more as opposed to just leaving in same gear on the flats. I read here...

    What's your farthest ride on a single charge with a Vado?

    🤔. I don't know exactly how it determines leg power. I do feel I'm getting a good workout. The ride going to Starbucks I had more energy to push it. Coming back not so much. I think I could maybe shave off 3 % of assist in ECO and 5% in Sport and 5% in Turbo. Setting PP to same as assist...

    What's your farthest ride on a single charge with a Vado?

    I don't know. Maybe, maybe not. I'd have to see the stats. Can hardly wait for you to get the TCD-w upgrade. Yes. I do try to get a workout most of the time. I'm still tweaking the assist levels to compliment my own power. 14 mph average for a 30 mile ride at approximately 1 % per mile is...

    BLEvo app working on Vado!!

    Latest geek stats. This is the first ride to Starbucks. Lot of pedaling unassisted. I also dropped peak power on ECO to 20 %. Average speed 13.2 over distance of 14.9 miles only used 12 % battery.

    What's your farthest ride on a single charge with a Vado?

    👌 Went riding today with tires slimed. 30.1 miles. Average speed to and from. 13.9 mph. Let's round it off at 14 mph. Finished ride with 69% battery remaining. Not going to bring all the stats. Just the summary of both rides. Met a couple friends out and about.

    Yes sir. One day I will be a professional too. Right now I'm a scared to death. After I look at the tools for awhile I may get confident.

    Actually that's me. 😄. I'm waiting on another set from Amazon. Isn't a good idea. If not for me. Maybe for a fellow biker along side the road who needs help. I could probably learn a thing or two in the process. 🤔

    https://www.instructables.com/id/Slime-Your-Presta-Valve-Bicycle-Tubes/ ☝ I didn't have to follow his instruction exactly because the valve core in Specialized Thorn RT can be removed entirely with pliers. Once you get it turned a few times with pliers you can then unscrew it by hand. A lot...

    Known Issues & Problems with Specialized Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    I guess the Specialized Thorn Resistant tubes Presta Valves are different. Definitely need pliers to turn the threaded nut to remove valve core. Once that is done it's easy to get slime in the tube just like Schrader.

    What's your farthest ride on a single charge with a Vado?

    Depends on how fast you go, weight, wind and how much unassisted you ride. Most I've ridden is 30 miles and had 84% battery remaining. My average speed 11 mph. 😄. I also rode 62 + miles on a single charge. 9% battery remaining. Check out BLEvo thread to see stats. It varies. Lowering default...

    Known Issues & Problems with Specialized Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    On my other ebike's stock tires I got a flat in less 250 miles. Ibs suggested slime to save money. I did it myself. Schrader valve for that bike. Much easier to slime. No need for pliers to loosen the nut like Presta valve. Slime took me to almost a 1000 before i decided to upgrade to marathon...

    Known Issues & Problems with Specialized Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    I went ahead and slimed front and back tubes on the bike as well. I feel more confident riding with tube sealant in tires as opposed to only liners and thorn protection. Slime seals punctures up to 1/8 " or 3mm in size. Once my lbs opens up their workshops and I get my other set of tools I'll...

    It's not messy if done properly. Also, I initially got thorn resistant Specialized tubes.. I don't think those tubes are Slime tubes..

    Known Issues & Problems with Specialized Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    I'm getting brave now. I slimed one of the Specialized thorn resistant tubes. I had zero experience with Presta valves. Good news. For these Presta tubes you can remove the valve core with pliers. The nut and then the threaded attachment. It took a while to figure out I didn't need to push the...
