I bought a 2018 Raleigh Redux, which is essentially the same as the Moda. You can find my review on this site if you search for my posts, but in general I’m very happy. Bike is solid, brakes are great, ride is quiet and extremely bike-like. Love the big tires, the high quality fenders, ergo...

You’re in luck. Austin is a great town for ebikes. First, get down to Bicycle Sport Shop on S. Lamar (at Barton Springs Road). They’ll rent a large number of ebikes for $42/day. I strongly recommend a few days of rental, which should help you figure out what type of ride bets fits your needs...

Oh- my bike shop figured out a very simple attachment scheme for my panniers, a 5 minute mod which they did for free. I can post a picture if you go this route.

I really like my 2018 Redux. If you search for my posts, you’ll find my review from back in May. It’s pretty much the same bike as the Moda. What I wanted was a bike that felt as much like a normal bike as possible, while allowing me to climb the hills that otherwise made riding so unpleasant...

So I feel the Redux puts me at a position pretty much halfway between “aggressive” and “upright”. The Como is definitely more upright. My inseam is 28” and the Small Redux might be a tad big for me, tho I’m very comfortable with it.

I decided to get the 2018 Redux. I posted my review somewhere on this site a few months ago- over all I’m very happy with my decision. Bike is great. Brakes are superb. Love the Super Moto-x tires. Fenders are absolutely silent. Motor is quiet and I love the natural feel. Haven’t had to walk up...

Such sad news. Really glad I bought my Raleigh Redux- the promise of Mission Control was one of my few reasons to hesitate.

There were a couple of “range extenders” introduced at Eurobike, I’m very interested in hearing more about them. I think one was exclusive to Specialized...

I posted above that my Raleigh Redux seems to be similarly optimistic about its speed- I just want to emphasize that this is a BROSE motor system, not Bosch, so no Intuvia, no collusion ;-)

I’m pretty sure my 2018 Raleigh Redux (Brose S) is reporting speeds 1-2 mph faster than actual. It is also completely stock.

1) I loved how the Vado rides but was uncomfortable with the frequency with which people on this forum were having problems, compounded by stories of less-than-responsive support from Specialized. I ended up buying the in-some-ways-similar Raleigh Redux IE, which I’m really enjoying. US$ for the...

Sorry, I misspoke, er, wrote. Charging your battery halfway, twice, wears the battery about the same as charging it completely. I’m too lazy to find the appropriate thread and link it here, but if you search you’ll find a number of apparently knowledgeable people posting in this forum that...

Hey, Joe- welcome to the forums. I rented a Vado 3 a couple times and really liked it, tho I ended up buying a Raleigh Redux ie (also Brose). You might consider buying a second charger for work, and charging your battery there. I say this because there’s general consensus that charging your...

My understanding is that Raleigh would love to sell you a bike online, but I had no problem finding a local dealer here in Seattle. Yes, the iZip Moda looks pretty identical. I forgot to say a couple things. One, many of the contributors here talk about it being easy to maintain speeds of...

So, I started planning to buy an ebike a couple years ago after riding my cousin’s Stromer. I live in Seattle and covet the ability to get up the hills I used to climb 40 lbs ago... looking for something that would serve for errands around town and summer fun rides up to 50 miles or so. I rode a...

Specialized raised prices on the Vado models a couple months back.

I noted in another thread that Specialized has changed the description of the Vado 3.0 (on their website) to eliminate any mention of Mission Control. This happened somet8me in the last month or so. Meaning...?

Right you are- but there’s a big semantic, ethical and possibly legal difference between “its coming” and “never mind.” It was one of the main reasons I was going to buy a Vado. Very happy with the Raleigh Redux I purchased instead.

Looking at the Specialized website just now, I see they’ve raised the U.S. price of each of the Vado models by $200 (For example, the 3.0 now lists for $3400). More significantly, the write up on the 3.0 has been changed and no longer makes any reference to Mission Control at all, instead...

Sorry, not an answer- but I’m convinced my computer (Brose, on a 2018 Raleigh Redux) is exaggerating my speed and distance as well. So I’m curious to see what people have to say...
