It was other people's stories that inspired me. I'm testing the water seeing what works for me and what doesn't. This was my first bike camping trip, a local campground about 14 miles away. Riding there I towed 90 + pound load. (More taxing on the battery then on myself.) The elevation was steep...

Nomad is a blessing. I carry most of my cargo in it. I wish the wheels were bigger 20" but other than that I like it so far.

Before set-up. That's the mattress bungied to the rack.

Good question. No problem at all. You can use chain with ring around the aluminium at top of Burley and run it to ulock back tire frame and if you want one of the trailer tires to same ulock and and the other trailer tire to ulock front tire. The trailer tires are push button quick release.

Yep. Instead of buying an extra battery for the Vado I bought the Jackery 500 and Bluetti AC50S about 800w + vs 604w is more expensive and charges from the wall socket only. Not to mention the pain of getting the battery in after exchanging. For this trip, I just carried the Jackery and a...

Hooked the Burley Nomad to the Vado today. Charged up the bike and the Bluetti while I worked out. I like the pass through charging that allows input and output charging simultaneously. Two 100w Rockpal panels running parellel gives a steady charge of 122w an hour. The Jackery power unit charges...

Yeah I thought about asking your mother or sister that but I already knew the answer. Shame.

I met a young woman today when I picked up my Burley Nomad trailer. She was working on one of the back wheels of her cargo trailer that she built herself. When she isn't riding she sleeps in it on your. No comfort of hotels. Although her bike is Specialized, it's not an E-bike. If I didn't see...

Looks like my Turbo Vado 5.0 2019's twin. Nice pic👍😎

Yep. I checked out her website and shot her a kite. My question was where did she sleep along the journey. Her gear didn't include sleeping bag/tent or water supplies. Since she was averaging about 60 miles a day. She must of been catching her rest at motels/hotels along the way or at residences...

I think her bike was specially designed to do that. She had a Turbo S. Also, her bike is over 5 years old.

Man. I wish the Turbo Vado 5.0 allowed charging while riding. I took DJ city bike for a spin and tested the Jackery with it. I was charged up the entire time. I left with a full battery. 15 miles later I arrived with a full battery. Mainly riding in Level 3 assist but cranked it up to level 4/5...

My other e-bike 48 V 14ah. 672w will take a charge while riding. For that bike I can extend the battery life 70% as I charge while I'm riding from the power supply unit. At level 2/3, assist that's another 28 miles added to the existing 40 mile range. That's another advantage I can use the power...

Cool. Final analysis. My math was off the last time. At a ratio of 27 to 34 =79%. 79% of 591w is 467 w rounded to the nearest w. Although the unit is specified at 518 w. 467 is all your going to squeeze out of 100 % charge from supply unit to your Vado. My Vado current capacity is 591 w...

Interesting. Mine shut down at 6% for sure it didn't go any lower than this. But I think the motor actually cut out assisting at 9%. I was shocked because I was only a mile from home. I knew I had enough battery to make the mile. I was wrong.

After doing the math. One Jackery 500 w battery pack at 100 % will apply 74 % charge to my Vado battery. That's 74 % usable. I found out the hard way awhile back that the last 6 % to 9 % the Motor will shut down giving no assist. The lights will work but that's it. $450.00 will get you 74 %...

Another test with the Jackery. It began charging the Vado at 171/172 w then increased as the charge went along to 179/180 w. Jackery battery depleted from 100% to 66% in 1 hour. (34%). The Vado went from 63% to 90%. (27%).

I forgot to mention I had my wheel size returned to factory specs. 2255 mm. I read the reviews of the 6.0 seems that model was having some issues. Maybe that's why the Vado 5.0 took over as the flagship for Vados.
