    Is it possible to even buy a Turbo Vado 5.0 Medium

    I had to wait until about 1 month ago to get my Vado 5 IGH from my local LBS. This was after waiting about 1 year, and 1.5 years for a Trak Alliant+ 8, which was ultimately discontinued in Canada. It's the global supply chain issues leading to a shortage. I suggest emailing Specialized...

    Vado 5.0 owners: what are you using for a lock?

    I got my Turbo Vado 5.0 IGH about a month ago, and haven't yet purchased a lock since I store the bike in my office and secured storage at home. However, I'd like to get a lock in case I need to make quick stops on the way home from work. I live in Vancouver, where bike theft is rampant. I've...

    Can you get locks that use the AXA keys?

    Hi, is it possible to order a lock that uses the same AXA keys that came with my Vado 5.0? I thought I read something about this somewhere, but I may be crossing wires in my brain. Thanks.

    Turbo Vado 5.0: how to set proper preload on seat post? How does performance compare to Kinect?

    I'm in the same boat! I want to measure the stock length, but haven't done that yet. I've got an XL frame.

    Specialized Vado 5.0 IGH Cadence Survey

    I'm in Canada so my Vado is limited to 20 mph anyway! Silver lining, I guess :)

    Charging question - don't overcharge?

    I don't know about you guys, but my display shows the percentage as it's charging. So if you want to charge to 80%, why not just watch the display? (I charge to 100% each time, but it's cause I'm too busy at work to monitor it.)

    Turbo Vado 5.0: how to set proper preload on seat post? How does performance compare to Kinect?

    Do you need to adjust the Kinect, or does it just work properly out of the box?

    The Saga of my Vado 5.0 IGH

    Bummer, I'm sorry to hear that! I can imagine how frustrating and disappointing that must be. I just got my 5.0 IGH a few weeks ago, so far it's been perfect in all ways, but I've only got a few hundred km on it so far. Fingers crossed!

    Turbo Vado 5.0: how to set proper preload on seat post? How does performance compare to Kinect?

    I got my Vado 5.0 a few weeks ago, and had my LBS adjust the seat post preload because it didn't seem to be working while riding. I can now feel it working, however it feels very discreet, and not a smooth continuous motion that dampens the bumps. I assume this is just how this post works - but...

    You should try the calibration on a bike stand, or holding up the rear wheel. I watched the enviolo video on how to calibrate, and they said that ideally it should be done on a bike stand (not riding it).

    I use an Oertleib Back-Roller, I put it on the side with the kickstand, and my bike has never tipped even when heavily loaded. IME the kickstand on the Vado 5.0 is extremely overbuilt and stable. :)

    I'm looking into the Cirrus Kinect 2.1 as well, but I'm not sure what size I need for my XL frame Vado 5.0. Do you know if 350 mm or 420 mm is the correct length?

    Scratches through paint in seat post ring on brand new Turbo Vado 5.0 IGH

    Hi, I got my Turbo Vado 5.0 IGH about a week ago. I absolutely love the bike, and my LBS has been great. However, I noticed that the ring that tightens the seat post has several deep scratches, through the paint and into the metal. The aesthetics of this don't bother me, but I'm wondering if...
