Grip your Ergon's. Now move your hand's out a little. That's right - you can't.

That's too bad in a way. You're missing one of the big advantages of an eBike which is weight doesn't matter nearly as much and you can choose the best components based on what you want and need as opposed to how many grams you're adding.

I like 38's. A good compromise. Worst case is pure sand and I admit it's tricky. But the 38's are awesome for road and handle gravel with aplomb. The Pathfinder Sports that come with the SL are great. They have a bead that runs pavement beautifully but have a good, course side tread which...

SL seems to respond well with higher cadence.

Carbon fiber handlebars are so cheap on Amazon. But I would argue for a name brand like Richey. I purchased Chinese CF - seat post. After a month, on a MTB ride, bounced down on it from a root and it cracked and shredded. Thank goodness I didn't get hurt as a result. Had to ride back with...

I have to say I'm probably the one person that doesn't like those grips. I find them too restrictive. Think about it - you don't always rest your whole hand on the grips. Sometimes you only use part of your hand and the Ergon takes that away. And even the little bit extra weight on the end...

It's tucked in the frame. Regarding special rim for riding rougher trails. My stock SL have handled anything I've thrown at them. Including light mountain bike trails and no problem. One set of wheels is really all you need imo.

An advantage of wider bars is simply more room and the ability for more positions for your hands. On a long trip that's valuable to me. I have never experienced wobble.

I only get 15 miles on turbo. You've got a keeper!! To me, sounds like you should have purchased a Vado - not SL.

I think you should call them everyday at 10 to bitch.

The thing about shore riding is the wind. So if you can go with the wind and then use E-power to get back on the up-wind leg >> should be a great ride!

Beautiful ride!!

If the LBS wants rid of you permanently as you're implying, they played it stupid. If they had ignored you for another week you would have 'sold out'. Instead - they upped the drama with the offer and you're hooked even more. And when you keep repeating that you love a brand that's caused you...

The Vado SL is the most fun bike ever made. It's super light for E and powered perfectly. It's like being 20 years old - forever. :)

How could you love the brand? You've had nothing but trouble. Or is it something else.

Yes - I purchase tubes that are in the range of the tire. That said, yours are probably OK. And I say that because if you compare, say a 700x28-32 tubes from two different manufactures, they can look really different from one another in width and they both work for same size tire.

I promise you that your chain at 5000 miles is worn out. Don't ruin your cassette! And, I had a chain break once on another bike and you can nearly lose your crown jewels no matter the top tube height. :)

Another symptom of a loose spoke is the wheel will not be true. Typically pretty noticeable. Good find Marcela.

Do you replace your chain? I've found that an older chain can be responsible for clicks and sounds under load that can also be intermittent. I've been getting about 1200 miles on a chain and then it needs replaced.

OK - so the pedals that come with the SL4 have a feature that I've never had before. They stay in the last position your foot was in. Seems minor but I like it.
