I didn't ask. It didn't appear to be used. All their Vados they sell come with 3 year warranty for motor battery and lifetime warranty for the frame. Even if it's refurbished (didn't appear to be) same warranty applies for new owner. According to the sells person the BLOK display wasn't a good...

@ Stefan Mike's. Turbo Vado 6.0 $4000.00 + Tax. Comes stock with Electrak 2.0 Armadillos. Has that BLOK display. (Upgradeable) Still that is pretty cheap for a class 3 Vado 6.0?

To the point. First the bad. Absolutely cannot charge the battery while riding.Also, AC charging the Jackery is slow 84 w consistently. Like charging with 2 a charger. The good news is the Jackery 500 will charge the Vado at over 170 w + continuously about twice the rate it takes the Jackery to...

Getting ready😎. Testing weight/capacity. I got my 2 500 w Jackery power supply units today. One came 40% charged. The other 36% charged. Also got the Rockpals 100 w upgraded solar panel. Just the tent and solar panel in backpack weigh 20 pounds. One power supply unit half fills one pannier at...

https://electrek.co/2021/03/15/the-easiest-way-to-solar-charge-an-electric-bicycle-even-at-night/ There you go. I purchased bigger battery pack with different solar panels that are stored like a brief case.

Yeah. I saw this article with ebike owner using this procedure. He was using a smaller supply pack because he was worried about the weight and the solar panel. But the 500 power supply is doable because it fits in the pannier no problem. There is also the 1000 w but it's to big/weight for a...

You can absolutely power your Vado from these. Plug in your charger to power pack same as you would a wall socket.

So I purchased 2 Jackery 518 w lithium power supply packs. Each weighs 13.2 pounds. Total price for the 2 packs $900.00 USD. I believe 604w battery for the Vado 5.0 is a few hundred dollars more than the total of two power supply packs. Each power pack fits my ortlieb panniers with roughly 6...

I agree. I believe the wheel circumference is determined by the rim/magnet rotation excluding the tires attached to it. That's my belief. 2255 mm makes sense. Since that was the manufactured specs set for wheel circumference originally.

2250 or 2255? I'm going to get a new chain put on tomorrow and have it done then.

I went back to LBS in Woodland Hills. Had wheel size set to 2270 mm. Still display is showing I'm about 2/10 off from GPS. Closer then 2900 mm but still off by substantial amount. Going to have it set back to original 2255 mm. I'm thinking that the wheel size is accurate to the size of the rim's...

@Stefan Mikes . Tested GPS against MC/Display was off by a little over 1 mph. Went to the lbs and kind of insisted that they measure the wheel. So the tech took off the back wheel and ran a tape measure around the wheel. I was standing at a distance so I couldn't actually see the numbers. Anyway...

Actually, BLEvo gave me the wheel circumference by default 90.6 or 2300 mm without me changing anything.(I think the wheel circumference is between 90.3 and 90.6 with the Armadillos. No setting between those parameters. ) LBS had changed it to 2000mm when they upgraded motor and display. So...

Just kidding. I don't see any difference between this update display/motor and previous firmware either.

There's a code that you can enter in MC to render the bike disabled.

Yes. I upgraded the motor and display.

Motor 7.4.1* Display 16.4* Battery 7.3.4 Turbo Vado 5.0 2019 Model U.S.A.

Yes sir. I think 2000 mm Wheel circumference might of played a part as well. Resetting MC/BLEvo and applying correct wheel size solved my problem.

Latest firmware for motor/display (7.4 1/16.4) Turbo Vado 5.0 are working great now. Be advised when you update you might have to reset all your presets in MC (uninstall/reinstall) that's what I had to do. I did the troubleshooting myself and figured it out. No thanks to the techs who were...

Update: All is well. Latest firmware for motor/display are okay. I figured it out on my own. I reset MC (there is a setting for that) uninstalled/reinstalled the app. Reset BLEvo presets. Uninstalled/reinstalled. 28mph/range/hill climbing all working as expected. 👍
