I thought updates were done by the user via the app too, but my app is currently telling me there is a firmware update and I need to bring it to the dealer to have them do it.

No way. You can't even find these bikes in stores really. I had to wait about 9 months for a store to get  one in inventory here in Vancouver, which I purchased the day they got it.

Hey all, this morning I had a notification that my bike required a firmware update that had to be done at the dealer. I thought firmware updates could be done by the owner these days? Does anyone know if this is possible, or do I really have to bring it to the dealer? Also, anyone know where...

Thanks!

Yes I did! waiting to hear back! :)

I just want to confirm - is this a 2022 model? I'm wondering if this would work on my 2022 Vado 5.0 IGH. Thanks!

Ok, thanks

I looked at the site you linked, and it says it only works for Vado up to 2022. I'm not sure it works with the new mastermind TCU. I can phone to ask. There is also https://www.levociraptor.com/, but again, their site doesn't say it works with the handlebar TCU on the Vado.

Thanks! I will check the link you sent. I live very close to the US, a 45 minute drive to the nearest us Specialized dealer. I'm not sure I'd even have to tell them I'm from Canada?

Where does the speed restriction occur in the Vado 5.0? Does this occur in the motor, or in the TCU? I'm in Canada and limited to 20 mph, am interested in derestricting for use on a private track. I'm wondering if I could just purchase a TCU from the US and replace mine. would that...

Hi, sometimes when I use Eco mode on my 2022 Turbo Vado 5.0 IGH, the motor seems to be a bit louder and I can feel slight vibrations that seem to be coming from the motor or hub or something. I seem to recall some others have made mentions of "gear grinding", and I am wondering if what I'm...

So, I found the manufacture date in the exact location you suggested - under the top tube. The date is 12 April 2022. Does that mean I have a 2022, or 2023 model?

Mine must be either a 22 or 23, since it is the new frame style. :)

Thanks, I'll try that!

How can you tell what model year the bike is? I purchased a Vado 5.0 about a month ago, but the model year isn't listed in any of the manuals nor on the receipt from the LBS. Can I figure out the model year from the serial number or something? (I did try googling about how to do that, but...

When I am crushing at higher speeds down a hill, I also notice that the resistance on the pedalling seems to cut in and out. As I pedal, I can feel periods of resistance and no resistance. Is this the same thing you guys are talking about?

Hi, the bottom bracket on my Ortlieb back-roller panniers doesn't fit well onto the Vado rack, because the Vado rack is flared out at the bottom, so the bottom bracket on the pannier can't be tightened to be flush with the pannier as it's supposed to be. As a result, the bracket is pushed out...

Is there something new? I think I've had this version installed since Aug 22

After waiting about a year or more for an Allant+ 8, then watching Trek cancel it in Canada, I purchased a Turbo Vado 5.0 IGH. I couldn't be happier. It is such a superior bike to the Allant+ 8 and I am so glad I didn't purchase the Trek earlier. I've got to say that as someone who has been a...

Does the Kinekt result in your seat being moved back an inch. I've got an XL frame and I'm right on the borderline between the L and XL. It took me awhile to convince myself the reach wasn't too large on the XL. I'm afraid that if the seat was moved back an inch, I would find the reach...
