    2022 Vado SL 4.0 Dead

    Seems crazy to me that water got in to the frame. I've been caught out on a couple really rainy rides on my SL and no issues. I do dry it well after.

    Any info on 2023 Models , 4.0/5.0 Vado's &SL 's ?

    'Seems to be lighter' - 'Mahle even claims' :)

    Charging question - don't overcharge?

    I left my SL charging for a week and now Blevo says I can go 300 miles in ECO mode. :)

    Charging question - don't overcharge?

    I don't think anyone under the expectation to get battery exactly at 80%. And it's not difficult to get it in that general range.

    Charging question - don't overcharge?

    I'll chime in. 4000 miles on my SL. And I have/use range extender. I only charge to 100% if I'm going to ride immediately after the charge and only if I need the battery full due to really long ride. I don't charge to 100% if I know the bike will sit or I might just be doing a shorter ride...

    Firmware updates..............again!

    Typically, firmware updates come with small explanation. Do you know if the updates were directed at something to do with shifting? Did you ask the LBS about what the updates were for?

    Any info on 2023 Models , 4.0/5.0 Vado's &SL 's ?

    Ras - have been looking at other brands. Ane the Orbea is sweet. I'm just leaning Specy given my great experience with the SL and the LBS that sold it to me. Waiting for '23 models really. And funny thing - I don't want a new MTB to take any time away from my SL riding. That's how much I...

    Any info on 2023 Models , 4.0/5.0 Vado's &SL 's ?

    Considering both. You can tell I don't know much about the type of MTB's. I've got an old Cannondale hard tail with headshock so any new MTB - elec or not - will be an awesome experience. And I have to say mschwett - my SL in the woods in turbo mode, going up really steep embankments, makes...

    Any info on 2023 Models , 4.0/5.0 Vado's &SL 's ?

    I am. I'd like to get an E-MTB to go with my SL. It's really the only type riding where the SL is limited. I'm not saying the SL can't do any MTB'ing but I'm talking the serious, off-road trails that can be tough without suspension. I'm not a downhill rider and looking for lightest MTB...

    Any info on 2023 Models , 4.0/5.0 Vado's &SL 's ?

    True - I think a $10k USD bike is crazy price but I have the money and I'm seriously thinking about buying a top-of-the-line Kenevo SL. Just waiting to see what the '23 models do to the '22 prices. Probably not much.

    Ok, I get it now...

    Agree. Feel the same way about my SL4. Just more 'heft' to it then my road bike. And with 38 tires gives it a real sturdy feel at high speeds vs road bike with 23s. Just a great feel and ride with Specy SL under me.

    Vado SL EQ 4.0 Chainring

    Looks like 4 screws will do it. Then, just rotate a bit and pull it off past the crank. Please post a pic after you're done. Curious how it looks.

    Thorn Resistant Tubes

    Another option is a tire liner. Google Mr Tuffy. Fairly light, easy to install and it's really tough like the name suggests. :) And of course - a good tire.

    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    Finally wore out my rear tire at 3500 miles or 5600k. The little Specialized insignias (I'm assuming those are there for wear) are no longer visible. Think I got my money's worth. Front still OK but replacing that one too. Going to PathFinder Pro2 Bliss.
