    New Thule Epos 2 Bike Rack

    I've been using for many years the Thule XT 2-bike rack on my cars to transport various e-bikes. However, since the acquisition of my wife's 2022 Como 5.0 and my 2022 Vado 5.0, I have been extremely challenged to find that perfect "sweet spot" to mount the bikes on the XT rack so that they do...

    New Spec App?

    Yes, that is a very interesting observation (Blevo works, does not 'drop'), as I too used to use Blevo and never had any of those dropped experiences. It might behove the developers to poke around and figure all that out.

    New Spec App?

    I've had any Specialize app, old or new, drop at times. Doesn't matter if my phone is in a bag, on the bars, in my pocket, strapped to the bike tube, anywhere, it drops. Possibly due to Bluetooth being the worst communication protocol. When it works, its great. When it drops, reboots, turn on...

    New Vado SL 4.0 - harsh ride!

    Stefan, You say, "you need to recharge all the Range Extenders sometime!", so on these bike rides with others, are you the only e-bike rider and/or there others who have non-ebikes? Reasoning is, do they 'wait' for you? Does your time needed to charge batteries interfere with the other riders...

    New Spec App?

    Hmmm, I sorta agree regarding the radar. But, IF the option at time of purchase were to delete it, and spend the money saved on this, it might be a berrer choice. https://cyclesafetyusa.com/

    YEA!!! FAQs Will the Specialized App offer Smart Control, Charge Limit, and other current features of Mission Control? We will be adding Smart Control and Charge Limit to the Specialized App in a future release. We have a lot of new features in the works as well–stay tuned!

    New Spec App?

    I quickly review the diuscussions here. However, I do not see any reference to the new app providing the similar functionality of "set -it-and-forget-it" 'Smart Control'. I've used it, love it, and today tried to use the new app, and could not have any enthusisaism about it. Am I missing...

    Turbo Vado 5.0: IGH or chain?

    I never even had ever checked when I had the IGH if Smart Control was an option to use......interesting.

    Turbo Vado 5.0: IGH or chain?

    Yes. Out of the blue, I checked evey day if 'Smart (Dumb) Control was operational, and BINGO! Last Saturday it worked! No major announcement or notification from anyone however, just my experience, which I had posted here. AND....quite frankly, I got up for early 2 days now at 4-5 AM to 'beat...

    Turbo Vado 5.0: IGH or chain?

    1,000 % agreed. It's a shame though. Maybe in the next few years it could be perfected. Maybe. But given the track record of Specialized sloooooooow response for things, who know, maybe when I'm dead :(

    Turbo Vado 5.0: IGH or chain?

    re: I have given a second thought to whether I would be happy with the IGH and now I would say: "It's not for me". I've realized I mostly ride mixed terrain (it is called "gravel cycling"). However fantastic the IGH might be, it cannot do the single important thing: the IGH cannot predict the...
