    Specialized Turbo - No Security Features Working and now No App Connection.....fixed.

    Anyone else with a Gen 1 Turbo Levo having this issue? If jamesfox's experiences hold true....this is unacceptable. Perhaps there is something being overlooked jamesfox? You should remove the old Mission Control App from your phone completely. You must ensure that your Blevo app is NOT...

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

    Welcome! Very well said. You have a clear understanding of the best use-case for that bike. I've had a 4.0 non EQ for 1 year and continue to enjoy it very much.

    Is Vado Smoking Addictive?

    Just take a tiny bit of vado. You don't need much... Just a vittle vado will do.

    Creo 2 short supply?

    35Nm mid drive (Vado SL) is likely overkill for my uses as a calorie burner Street machine. I VERY rarely am asking for more than 65% assist and when I do it is for less than 30 seconds. It depends on whether you are looking for fitness or for a motorcycle type transportation. The lightweight...

    MY23 Riese and Muller Supercharger 2 GT Rohloff - 53cm - Warm Silver Matt

    It is rare that I see a 'new bike day' post for a bicycle that is so darn good looking! That is one fine looking bicycle.

    Knee Protection on the Trail

    I can't imagine riding with knee pads on. Elbow pads?....I s'pose....but I wouldn't. I ride city/suburban streets and paths. I've never felt the need for PPE aside from gloves/helmet (which I do routinely wear). Unless you are riding BMX trails.....or gnarly mountain biking....I wouldn't...

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

    BTW....that new chain ring of yours!.....TINY. You must be able to just 'easy pedal' up the steepest grades now!

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

    I understand Stefan and was just teasing. I too occasionally have the desire to 'travel lightly' on the SL but with a need to carry a few bits with me. For example...I am heading out this morning to a trail for about 25 miles and it really would be nice to have a lightweight rack on the SL...

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

    Uh oh! It sounds like my post last week got Stefan interested in putting some clothing on his naked SL!?! I had said that I am trying VERY hard to NOT put a rear rack on my SL but that I was sorely tempted to do so....and here you are!

    New Rad power Radster

    Meh. Is it just me? $2K? These just make me realize what a bargain the Vado 4.0 is now on sale at $2750. The "integration", engineering, and components on these new Rad bikes seem mediocre at best. Those narrow handlebars? I'm not impressed. No offense intended.

    You should be under warranty. Take it to your dealer and have them fix it

    My new Globe Haul ST by Specialized

    I understand...and I am merely expressing an opinion based upon 'where I am at'. I would wholeheartedly and in good faith recommend the Como to a potential rider who I believe would benefit from that style of bike...and who expressed no need/desire to modify the bike beyond 'stock'. It's a...

    My new Globe Haul ST by Specialized

    Ya....I s'pose it looks neat. But in fact the handlebars on the Como are a real turn-off for me. It screams 'you can't modify me easily!'. As you already know I am a fan of Specialized and own both the Vado SL and the Vado. Both models are less proprietary when compared to the Como. The Como...

    My new Globe Haul ST by Specialized

    The Como is no doubt a bargain (at the moment) for many folks.....I am not among them. Thankfully I think myself 'too young' for a Como at this point. Good bike....just not for me.

    Turbo Vado 4.0 display units, how do I get miles per hour?

    In the specialized app settings change from metric to imperial. If it's not in the application.... I can't remember for sure..... It might be in your TCU. As I recall, you hold the plus and minus buttons on your handlebar simultaneously which will take you into settings. Then search for...

    Electric Air Pumps 2024

    ya it definitely isn't something that you'd want to carry with you on a ride....but I'd assumed that we weren't talking about a portable 'go with you' type of pump here.
