    Question re: locking bike and concern for vandalism

    No simple easy answer, just putting it out there. Whether using an Abus frame lock, an associated auxiliary cable or chain, or an independent next to impossible locking system (it doesn't exist, I know), because the integrated display is a primary system component to turn on the bike, start it...

    How to order a specific ABUS lock and specific key code?

    Yes, very few US distributors with exception to Propel. I had to order mine from overseas at Hollandbikeshop.com yesterday for the newest model (a supposed 1-size fits-all model), meaning no guesswork if it will fit or not...

    Myth BUSTED: "The Chain Drops On My Specialized E-Bike Because The Chainring Is Praxis WAVE"

    So OK, Stefan seems to have the most experience and knowledge regarding these types of issues. I regard his opinions as the rule to follow, most times. If anyone know things, he seemingly knows a lot from his experimenting and experiences (with the e-bike stuff). That being said, I'll pose...

    Myth BUSTED: "The Chain Drops On My Specialized E-Bike Because The Chainring Is Praxis WAVE"

    I continue to have the same issue with the chain coming off. I put about 6,600 miles on the 2022 Vado 5.0 in 16 months, replaced the chain every 1500-2000 miles, new cassette at the same time and it eventually happens, many, many times. Discussed it with the local bike shop Guru, and he...

    New Vado SL 4.0 - harsh ride!

    Me? When I had an SL, whatever Kinekt I had on it I was happy with (seat). As far as I know/remember, could not do the stem because of the existing proprietary stuff by Specialized

    Specialized/Brose motor failures?

    My 2022 Vado 5.0 with 5,600 miles in 16 months is going in for a motor replacement in the morning. Although performance is fine, noises (previously posted) are nuts. Love the bike. Crazy stuff, huh?

    Battery Range Experience for Specialized E-Bikes

    Normally, I put the Vado 5.0 into 'Smart Control', set it for 25 to 50 miles depending on my desire, weather, patience, wind, commitments, etc., and for the most part, as long as Smart Control remains active and connected, I usually finish the ride with expectation being achieved. For maximum...
