128 miles! ❤️ @RabH, as a Scot, you could give me a good advice. I'd like to take @Brix to Scotland in 2026. What are the areas of outstanding beauty in Scotland we could visit without much walking? I intend to rent a car. Any good suggestion?

I have owned as many as 4 big Specialized batteries. I have owned a main SL battery as well as 4 Range Extenders as well. I also own two 36 and two 48 V Specialized chargers. A single big battery (the oldest one) developed a short circuit in a single cell a year ago. The charger and the BMS...

This comes from the fact only two of eight e-bikes you own have safe batteries :)

It is very difficult to understand it on Bosch. Can you remember the struggles of @Catalyzt? I had to do a little research to make the concepts more clear and I am still unsure if everything was properly understood. For instance: what assistance mode you need to be in to squeeze 600 W from the...

The whole issue is you cannot demo ride these e-bikes.

If you want to go cheap, go cheap :)

The quality is probably similar. It is different about the capabilities. Cannondale/Bosch: It is confined to its own ecosystem. You can get the e-bike information on the display or smartphone app only. Tuning the Bosch system (adjusting the e-bike to your own needs) is overly complicated The...

The life is so easy in Poland in this respect... The riders of the illegal Chinese scrap metal do not go on the trails. (These who ride it are almost only the food delivery couriers). People who recreate on e-bikes ride quality machines. No issue to leave the e-bike for charging in a hotel or a...

You pay for the capabilities, quality and... warranty.

The point is: If your e-bike breaks, you will need to bring it in the United States again... Why not Specialized?

TWO DAYS IN LIFE OF A POLISH ENGINEER :D New Vado Battery Tuesday I work very hard recently. As I was in an online sales demonstration, I got a text message from Specialized Warsaw: 'Your battery has arrived'. As I felt I did an excellent work for the day, I asked my manager for the permission...

Bosch drive units are hardcoded for a regional speed restriction in the factory. It is correct no U.S. dealer would send a U.S. motor to Canada. Specialized motors are "blank" when they are out of factory. These must be programmed by a dealer in the geographical region. Therefore, a new...

Did you buy a Vado 5 meanwhile @newts?

Brake pads are to be inspected first. They wear out a way earlier than the hydraulic system would dehermetize.

Specialized Turbo Vado SL 2 6.0 Carbon (EQ and non-EQ versions) I had a pleasure to demo ride that e-bike (EQ) in March this year. Can you see a big grin on my face? I am a long time rider of an older (alloy) Vado SL Gen 1 (18000+ km, 4+ years). My needs evolved from an EQ to a sporty...

There are some chances you will see anything on this big computer screen but I cannot guarantee it :)

I have bought a new U1-600 battery for my Vado 6.0. Reasons: The original battery ended its life in May 2024 I occasionally need three batteries for very long rides (over Imperial Century) My two other batteries are degraded well below 500 Wh. I need a single battery with a higher capacity Big...

Camelbak hydration pack and you need no water bottle anymore.

BOM = Bear Of Mountain

Any bears in the United Kingdom? We have brown bears in the Bieszczady Mountains. These are peaceful animals and we hear of no related accidents. They are very smart! The bears have discovered they had been hunted for in the neighbouring Slovakia, so they immigrated to Poland to live in peace...
