I did some calculations using http://bikecalculator.com/ Your own weight is 91 kg Vado 4.0 weighs 26.4 kg. Vado SL 2 4.0 is 20.3 kg We assume no wind, flat surface, no cargo. The max achieved speed will be 32 km/h. Vado 4.0 vs. Vado SL 2 4.0. Surprise! In any case you will need 234 W total...

You do not need to repair them. At least not for 11,000 miles or 4 years.

My Vado SL is over 4 years old since the purchase. It has 18,283 km (11,363 mi) on the odometer. The single repair was replacing the drive-side crankarm, which I did myself with an 8 mm hex key. Yes, I paid the equivalent of £3,400 at that time. That included a Range Extender and all the...

The issue is you have to repair Bafang.

Purchases (for Vado SL) and waiting for delivery @Chargeride once said my Vado SL didn't look sporty in a race; he was right :) I understood the water bottles and the pannier made my racing life harder than it could be. A Camelbak M.U.L.E. 14 Pro hydration pack with a big backpack. The...

Cannot be done. Strava is not interested in the bike. Only the rider matters. If you had bought a pre-Mastermind Vado SL, all the stats including the motor and battery parameters (as deep as motor and battery temperature) could be easily extracted from Paolo Dozzi's BLEvo app. Unfortunately...

I cannot sustain it. This is my sustained leg power this year... This is the Carrot Effect :)

A quote from another thread. Buying a Bafang means you are left alone, cannot count on warranty, have to learn terms such as "UART" and be running around the e-bike with a multimetre. Good e-bikes do not require any of this. That's why they are more expensive. Bafang (which is a synonym of...

:D :D :D

I'm sorry. Not 2.1. Just 2.0 (without E) I'm correcting in my posts.

Friends do not let friends buy Bafang.

I knew I missed something! Iron! :D It it approximately 25 kilometres SW of Warsaw City Centre (Poland). I cannot wait until you get your hands on a Vado SL! We have a very strong community here on EBR Forums :)

@mogulman: now walk in the shoes of someone whose HR is controlled by a Beta Blocker :) I cannot increase my heart rate and thus my leg power is limited unless there are short power bursts. Jeremy, the Carrot Effect must be true. In recent months, my leg power was at ridiculously low levels...

Chris, let me show you how it works. I will give the motor model, max motor power, actual torque and the (marketing torque). Only three full-power motors but the rule is clear here. 2.0E, 430 W, 68 Nm, (50 Nm) 2.0, 470 W, 75 Nm, (70 Nm) 2.2, 565 W, 90 Nm, (90 Nm) The marketing says 50-70-90...

Any e-bike manufacturer lies about the motor torque. Specialized has given each motor Max Mechanical Power and Assist factor. Now, show me the Bosch official data for your e-bike motor :) Is your Cannondale warranty transferable? A lifetime frame warranty? :) Specialized has totally rebuilt my...

@Mhacha: have you spent some time on your own geometry? :) I'm curious! Do you live in Norn Ireland? We visited Derry as well!

"How much to spend on an e-bike?" My personal view is US$3,000 is the entry level e-bike price but the quality begins at five grands. Unless it is a big discount sales, of course.

We have had it in Poland for several years now. The operations with the Vehicle Department have never been easier. We have electronic prescriptions, works like a charm. You do not need to carry documents such as ID or a driving license, the app does. (You need a physical ID abroad inside the EU...

@Jeremy McCreary: Transferring data from RWGPS to Strava using SyncMyTracks is easy: Select the source service (RWGPS). Enter your login data Similarly, select the target service (Strava). Enter your login data. Set the date range. It might pass in a single go but the transfer is very slow, and...

It is something that needs to be explained rather carefully. There are two distinct systems: A 36 V "full power" system with 2.0E, 2.0, 2.2, and 3.1 motors, Specialized branded, Brose manufactured, based on a removable big battery; A 48 V SL "Super Lightweight" system with SL 1.1 and SL 1.2...
