I find the "watt" question confusing and to sort it all out I have bookmarked this article so when I find myself lost in the jargon I know where to turn. https://www.electricitybikes.com/blog/nerdystuff

"Other inputs about the bike that is good to know?" Perhaps the most important is the one which seems to be overlooked in the forum. The "Mission Control" app for the Vado as a "tuning" function which would seem to be a help in tuning your Vado to your individual ability. I underscore the...

My LBO's idea is one uses their Vado hub and laces the new rim to it. Skewer problem solved.

Nawh. Spandex is cheating. Wool rules. :)

Like they could not simply have limited speed, i.e. the same as they do with automobiles.

I don't see any of those models being put in an elevator going to the owners apartment. Much of the hot personal transport, be it electric boards, scooters, or bikes does have the ability to be stored in apartment when not in use. That may be why they are hot.

Can't think of a worse idea than federal regulations for bicycles.

Poor decision. Here a drunk kill himself driving a scooter in traffic. "His bad." We need to appreciated their is individual responsibility for one's actions. The nanny state cannot protect us from our own stupidity.

"Most people can pedal up to 18mph w/o issues. " Speak for yourself. ;)

Does Mission Control work off a home computer? Important to me as I do not use cell phone, but would like would like to use computer and usb as a substitue.

Have scrapped the narrow tire idea. Hit another sharp bump and rattled the battery loosening the connection so that sport and trubo were unavailable. This has happen several times, and always at what seems the worst of time. So my thinking being that narrower tires, equal higher...

Descend, not so much. Ascend . . .

If you go back and look their is as a Specialized youtube video where the Specialized's design engineer discusses why they dropped hub motors in favor of mid-drives. The thinking was that electric motors increase efficiency as rpm's increase. The low rpm hub motors generated heat from their...

A trick Tesla uses is to rate their batteries at less then absolute maximum charge. Why? It behooves Tesla to have their batteries last to the 8 year warranty and if charging to less than max will extend life and reducing battery replacement. So the thinking is Tesla set max recharge at...

Thanks, if " I measure the Vado rim width at 25 mm (per diagram) and that puts it at 42 mm tire. But there may be some wiggle room. Seem to recall an old rule of thumb, of "tire 1 1/2 times rim opening", which would put it at 37. Wondering if any Vado'ers have tried narrower tires.

Am prepping to replace my Vado's tires and am wondering what is the recommended tire width range. As I am riding roads which I have been doing on my road bike with 28's without discomfort, am thinking the standard 47's are overkill and 38's could do the trick . . . if they were not too...

The miles do add up. Very impressive even if the motor and wheels were to have been replaced.

Isn't it true that bike prices have already been bumped up to reflect tariffs? However, if past experience is repeated, "tariffs" will become a common excuse to raise prices, increase profit margins even as work- a-rounds are put in place (e.g. moving manufacture from China, which has been...

And moving production from China to Nam is just as damaging to China as a move it to the US. All the little countries waiting to grab China's business are helping us . . . as well as themselves.

Have had all under the microscope, but choosing the next bike can be just as exhausting as wearing out the current one.
