    Buying/Configuring a Vado

    Have you actually looked through the link and then found it 'in stock'. Medium. Color not picky but may not buy red. Top tube or step thru. Believe me I've tried. check out the Carmel one when you link on the actual bike you get a sidecar...

    Buying/Configuring a Vado

    It doesn't work that way. Out of the handful of links that are in there, most end up being a different type 4.0, IHG or something. It isn't a 1:1. I suspect the database of the independent realtors isn't the same. One of the shops had a link with the model, but once you clicked on it you get...

    Buying/Configuring a Vado

    I'm in NorCal too. Searching is tricky because all that I find have IHG, which I don't want.

    Buying/Configuring a Vado

    That's what I was thinking. I haven't road up the 17% in about 10 years, but I can do the 14% as long as I'm riding regularly. The muscles are used differently but I don't think that would be impossible. that's why I was leaning towards the non-SL to get wider tires I love the radar and I do...

    Buying/Configuring a Vado

    I chatted online with Specialized and it looks like some red Vado 5.0s are coming in the next 1-3 months. That is probably the same shipment that they told me about a month ago. It may be that the black ones you have to wait till 2024. Since Tero and Vado have the same frame, do I just swap...

    Buying/Configuring a Vado

    Can you explain 'mountain gearing'? I was leaning towards the Vado as I don't need full suspension and it is a wee bit more comfortable. I think I would be 'okay' with the SL, I can ride my recumbent up the 14% grade but I think I would loose the fun/enjoyment factor. But then why even get...

    Buying/Configuring a Vado

    I am in the process of buying my first e-bike and I have narrowed it down to a Specialized Vado. I'm a little stuck on exactly how to configure it and a bit perplexed at which bikes are truly available. First: a wee bit of background. I had a cheap hybrid bike 25+ years ago, and didn't ride...
