16 deg C. It is raining recently (good after all that drought!) The perceived temperature was only 11 C!

Garmin Tomek, or The Saturday of Friendship ❤️ My riding mate Tomek gets better and better. He can ride faster than I thought; his slow riding had been dictated by the need of following a slow navigator (me!) :) but he can ride a way faster than I thought. He is also a long distance rider by...

Trail e-MTBs such as yours are being abused. That's why. The other reason is older Levos had a totally silent motor based on an internal carbon drive belt. Newer Specialized e-MTB motors are of an improved design and are still pretty quiet. Even if it can, it is a silly idea. The rigid fork on...

Why Yamaha? https://www.specialized.com/ie/en/turbo-vado-50-igh/p/4221962?color=5401990-4221962 A very quiet motor, belt drive, 710 Wh battery. You demand too much. A big battery e-bike is a heavy e-bike. Belt drive/IGH is a heavy e-bike.

I'm not a lightweight person, either :D

It is a race, Jeremy :) All four competitors of mine at Great Lakes Gravel had their average speed around 15 mph :)

It only shows in what a bad position Trek is now.

... get nowhere 😂

Well... 50 km, 424 m elevation, 64% batteries used. Effective min charge total 10% so 90% / 64% * 50 km gives 70 km. I need 50 miles (80 km) with a similar elevation gain meaning I will need to use the 2nd RE at 60/100. Fine for me! The race organizer allowed me using 2 Range Extenders 😉...

Perhaps the default settings would be the best for the start. I think the Shuttle mode (high cadence) is OK but the Acceleration Response doesn't need to be immediate 😊 Increased ECO mode means a shorter range.

Trust me, I prefer my Vado SL to Vado in the warm season 😊 Similar reasons.

I'm in craft beer. On rare occasions I can meet friends for beer, I calculate the volume of pure ethanol I ingested (I do these simple calculations in my mind). Whenever I have exceeded 100 cm3, I say "pass" 😃 Seriously, I need the range information in the middle of September.

Could you determine the actual range (Main + RE) at that setting? Please give Elevation Gain and maximum grades. It would help me greatly on my next gravel race in September!

A primitive junk. A racing mountain goat. It is a very refined thing. Get know your Levo, please... (It is not about the raw power. It is how the power is used).

I wonder if Chris will give the same answer: A TQ-HPR 50 lightweight mid-drive motor A carbon fibre lightweight e-bike Advanced technology Integrated and Compatible with ANT+ Bike Computers 'It's a Pinarello, stupid!' :D

Chris, I think you should show same concern about what's under the hood of your high performance Levo in your own interest: the matters of range and riding safety. You have got a racing machine from Biff who certainly had set the Levo up to his liking but his settings might adversely affect any...

You could do up to 116 km on the Main + RE at 55/55 if you rode slower 😃 At least that was what I could do when the batteries were new but my leg power is low.

As the First Owner, I registered my both e-bikes as soon as I bought them. I have never regretted that as I indeed got the "lifetime frame warranty" from Specialized. As the first owner! The 2-year Specialized e-bike warranty is transferable but unluckily the frame warranty is not. Regarding the...

Registering a Turbo e-bike is only necessary to: Get a warranty service up to 2 years post the purchase (it is over for the Levo) Get the "lifetime frame warranty" (but that right pertains to the first owner only) It is enough @Chargeride registers himself at Specialized.com, downloads the...
