    Vado SL 2 Carbon LTD premiered today!

    Yeah. Doing a comparisoon, SL 5.0 vs SL 2 6.0 it's 32 lbs vs 35 lbs. So SL is lighter.

    Vado SL 2 Carbon LTD premiered today!

    Interesting, the display is on the stem now. Not sure if I like that. I have my Garmin Edge 840 mounted on my stem.

    Vado SL 2 Carbon LTD premiered today!

    1.2 more with more power, bigger battery 520wh vs 320wh. Bigger tires Hemisphere 700x47. Looks like they went all Shimano derailleur except for the top end AXS Sram. Also, only carbon frame, no aluminum. Pricing seems too high at this point. Its priced at $6000 for the SL2, which is what...

    Will 700x47c Pathfinder Pro 2Bliss Ready tyres fit on a Turbo Vado SL 5?

    I'm using Tufo Thundero gravel tires (700x44). on my Turbo Vado SL 5.0 (non-eq). No issues at all. Plenty of clearance riding on rocky Colorado roads. I noticed the new SL2 uses 47mm tires.

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

    One thing I discovered recently that could have been contributing, is that my rear brake seemed to be slightly rubbing my rotor. I was riding on a longer ride a few weeks ago, and it got worse. So much so that I actually removed my rear brake pads to continue my ride. When I got home, I...

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

    I think I was riding at 11/12 on my gearing at 80-85 cadence. @Stefan Mikes so I know you have a full Vado. Assuming it was in the USA or derestricted. It seems like you are able to keep up with road biker, at the expense of having to keep multiple batteries. Do you enjoy it? Or...

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

    So. I've always felt pretty confident riding Vader, my 5.0 SL. Felt like I could keep up with other riders. My son, 22 year old, got an older Felt carbon road bike 10x2 gearing and we decided to do a ride together. He isn't a bike rider, but is wanting to start getting into it. He is...

    For Specialized SL owners. Have you bought the bottle battery and is it helpful to you?

    I tried 40/100 on my ride today. Seemed to work fairly well in the flats. 1-2 miles per % of battery. Then I hit the hills. Had to use turbo in some spots. Only had about 20% left combined main + RE.

    For Specialized SL owners. Have you bought the bottle battery and is it helpful to you?

    How do you decide on 55/55 or 35/100? I'm assuming you have 55/55 on Sport and 35/100 on Eco?

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

    I'm on almost 2.5 years with my Turbo Vado SL 5.0. I live in the mountains of Colorado (in a valley) at 6200ft. So it's uphill (1000-2500ft) from my house almost everywhere. Upgrades I've done: Shimano Clip-less Pedals SQ Labs Innerbarends Ergon Grips Mirrycle Mirror Range Extender (like the...

    Oh wait, you have your mirror inwards also. I'll try that. I just had mine in the down position.

    Yeah Mirrycle. Maybe just different body geometry. BTW, not sure why you say it is the safest position? Mirrycle has it the other way on their web-site.

    I noticed you have your mirror facing down. I usually have mine facing up, but tried it this way last week. Seems more aerodynamic, but my arm is always in the way of the mirror unless I move my head around. Do you have trouble with it like this?

    Firmware update for charging limit

    I talked to Specialized customer service on the phone and they said that they thought the firmware update capability was coming to the new app at some point. It just wasn't there yet.
