    Electric Air Pumps 2024

    Not the most ergonomic shape/form factor for a bike pump imo. Cool yes....and I like techy things....but for air? I don't get it.

    Electric Air Pumps 2024

    Fumpa...Does it though? I mean it looks techy and cool.....but it is a metal box that I have to hold up in/around my spokes? I'd certainly want a hose extension for that one.

    Electric Air Pumps 2024

    DaveMatthews sells out ARENAS and can afford a Fumpa pump lol. For me....I can't sell out a a dog groomer's lobby....so Ryobi for me! Lol Doggyman....if you want to fill your tires with expensive air.....go for it.

    Electric Air Pumps 2024

    I have several Ryobi products including a drill, saw, etc....and they also make a Ryobi handheld air compressor. It is a trigger gun style unit and it costs about $20.... Or at least it was a few years ago when I purchased it. Obviously I already have the batteries. I use this for both presta...

    My New Globe Haul ST (2 weeks Old now)

    I believe my Vado USB is 1amp. Occasionally I have to plug my phone in multiple times to even get the phone to recognize the juice.

    Turbo Vado 4.0, how to make it lighter?

    You should not have a problem whatsoever. From one OCD fellow to another.... Do yourself a favor..... Go down and get your socket wrench set..... Go outside and go underneath your vehicle..... Inspect the bolts that hold on your tow hitch apparatus to your vehicle undercarriage..... and make...

    Turbo Vado SL 5.0 and Specialized App - Range Extender

    Are you sure that you are not still running an application called Mission control? My specialized app is updated. I do not get those same screen options that you are showing me in the screenshots. I can no longer see the firmware, versions, or whether additional updates are available. I am...

    Turbo Vado 4.0, how to make it lighter?

    For what purpose(s)? For riding it around?....or for loading/unloading? The Vado is a heavy, powerful, and comfortable bike....it is exactly what you purchased. Removing the fenders will not make enough of a weight difference to make it worth your while imo. In fact...those fenders will come...

    Turbo Vado SL 5.0 and Specialized App - Range Extender

    This was not the case for me. My MC app, upon opening, inform me that it had been sunsetted and provided no functionality whatsoever. The app then directed me to download the new specialized app

    Turbo Vado SL 5.0 and Specialized App - Range Extender

    Yes. MC stopped being operational for me prompting and forcing the use of the new Specialized app. I suspect if this hasn't yet happened to you it will soon. My only complaint is the lack of information relating to firmware updates with the new application. Aside from that, it works just fine.

    Tried a ride today on private land using just a throttle

    If I used my bike more for commuting or for errands I'd feel less guilty about using a throttle. I ride for fitness and pleasure and typically try to use as little assist as possible. When I see an e-biker using throttle only I just assume that they have 10 DUI'S and are unable to be...

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

    I am trying VERY hard to resist the temptation to fit some rear rack to my non-EQ Vado SL. I can't seem to shake this temptation despite the fact that I rarely require the functionality of a rear rack. The ability to strap a heavy U-lock to the rack....or to attach some lightweight cloth...

    Are You An All-Year-Round Cyclist?

    I live in the Midwest USA and we most definitely have our winter months. I did in fact ride at least one day each month last year, however, my rides were minimal during the winter. October and November I was able to keep trucking. December I only rode 5 times. January I rode ONCE! Februrary...

    Turbo Vado SL 5.0 or Fx+2

    No announcement yet although many are expecting the Vado SL with a 1.2 motor. I have the Vado SL 4.0 and the motor noise is among my only gripes. The 1.2 which is already available in the Creo sounds very similar from my understanding. I do think that non-e-bikers have a tendency to like the...

    These cops are largely patrolling urban areas I think.
