Thanks for the advice guys!

The same thing happened to my wife’s Vado when she crashed. It’s about $300 to fix it because the wiring is attached to the part that broke and it all has to be removed and reinstalled in the bike. I tried several types of double stick tape, and the only one thats worked is the Gorilla double...

Hi Stefan, they are 700 x 47c. There isn’t much room inside the fenders for larger tires, so I’ll probably need the same size or smaller. Also, what does the “c” mean?

My wife and I each have Vados and love them. We’ve started doing some longer organized rides where we need to be efficient with the battery by turning the power on and off during the ride to get the most mileage. A couple weeks ago someone on here mentioned getting rid of the tiny knobby...

Ventura and Santa Barbara, CA have all those and the ocean. There’s so many good restaurants in both of the towns and miles of bicycle trails alongside the ocean.

Yes we use it in our Levos.

Use caution with the stuff you put into the tubes. It will work for small holes but if you slice the tube or tear off the presta valve, it won’t work. You’ll need to replace the tube and the only way to do that is by removing the rear axle. You should carry a spare tube, patch kit and inflator...

On our Vados, once you remove the rear axle, you can remove the rear wheel. I’m not sure about your belt drive bike, but I would think it’s the same. Practice it a couple times at home, before you have a flat in the middle of nowhere.

My wife and I have Vados. I put some Allen wrenches in a bag that I carry on the bike so I can remove the rear axle. The Como 4.0 is a belt drive, correct?

Keep at it. Loved reading your story !

Okay we’re back and had a blast. We rented a house for the weekend in Solvang with two other couples, so we stayed the night before the ride and the night after. We had all agreed to ride the 52 mile, Half Century. After check in and seeing that route, someone said that road is really rough...

Thanks for all the great ideas guys. The ride is next Saturday, I’ll keep you all posted how we do. My wife is very strong, me not so much. I work too much and sit on my ass at work.

I used double stick Gorilla Tape to put my wife’s display back in place. Both of her display tabs broke off when she crashed.

Ahh yes, I’d forgotten about Smart Control. Thanks! and yes 50 miles. About 20 years ago I did two Century rides a few months apart on a regular road bike. Ain’t gonna happen now. I hurt for a week after those rides. At the 80 mile mark of one of the rides, there was snacks and a big...

My wife and I each have Vado 3.0’s and are riding in the Solvang Half Century in a couple weeks. We were going to ride our Tandem, but couldn’t get into shape quickly enough. Solvang is hilly and I’m concerned about the battery range. On some recent training rides I’ve inflated the tires to...

We have two Vado 3.0’s and I clamp it right in front of the front fender. No problems yet. I check everything each time we stop the car.

I’m not able to do any updates thru my phone and wifI. I have to take the Vados and Levos into my LBS and they plug each bike into their computer.

Look at the Ortlieb Rack Pack. I think that’s what it’s called. Very well made and it clips on the rack and locks in place with their special key.

My buddy is an awesome road bike rider, very strong. His wife not so much. She bought a Specialized Creo, now they can ride together.

My wife and I bought our first ebikes at 57 years old and love them. It makes us feel 20 again, and we still get a workout without the pain.
