Thanks for the response.......no, I use 2.4's on the Vado 4 and Trek 8s....plenty of clearance, no rubbing. 8000 miles on the Moto X's on multiple ebikes and not one flat...knock on wood. Take care....

Update on the Vado 5 IGH: After exchanging a series of emails with Specialized, I've decided to entrust my bike to a different Local Bike Shop (LBS) with a more extensive background in working on the IGH system. Despite numerous attempts at calibration, I've been unable to achieve proper...

Mine will arrive this week, and I can't wait to try it.

First, I have been trying to buy a Vado 5 since before I purchased my Vado 4 over a year ago. Finally a Vado 5 showed up on the Specialized site, and although black was not my preferred color, I wanted red just like my Vado 4, I took what was available. The IGH was the only bike in XL, so...

Nice! Thanks for the response.

Excellent response and thank you. Yes, I will definitely get back to you once I get the controller. Thanks again.....

Yes sir, no problem...... :)

Not sure yet, I will have the controller in a few weeks and will advise then. What Specialized told me was that the bike stays in manual mode, until you choose to place it back in auto. I hope that is correct, because it would make it a seamless operation for me.

There is no option for manual mode within the Specialized app, and placing the hub in manual mode, requires the Cliq Pro Controller. Here is a video that helps. Manual Shifting Mode = Time slot 4:36 Hope this helps.....

Sure thing....I am in the USA, and the part is coming from Germany, so it may take a week or so....the install should be a snap. Thanks....

CALIBRATION ISSUE SOLVED!!!! - Well, I solved the calibration issue. I guess Rider Support and the LBS never thought of this, but the engineering part of me, would not let it go. I was using my Samsung Galaxy Note 9 to try and connect, and remember having a similar issue with a Bluetooth...

They were quick to respond at first, but I have not heard from them in 2 days.....now I am going to up the ante a little. The bike "fails" to want to calibrate, even when I use the Enviolo app directly. I can pedal slow, fast, medium....still will not calibrate. Enviolo recommends lifting the...

Thanks...once the Cliq Pro arrives, I will change to manual mode, and go through those gears/ratios/steps.....according to my riding style......which is fast!

Thanks...did that already. When I attempted to calibrate it through the Enviolo app, it never did. I think it is defective in my opinion, but Specialized is aware of the issue, and the bike will be delivered to the shop this week. Stay tuned.....

First Impressions Vado 5 IGH I took my bike out for the first time two days ago, and I must say, the experience left me quite disappointed. Despite recalibrating the bike twice, my initial ride through the neighborhood was far from satisfying. The internally geared hub (IGH) system failed to...

Thank you...

Just ordered a Black Vado 5 IGH....can't wait to get it. Going to miss the Vado 4.....great machine.

I have been trying to buy a Vado 5 for months, but the site never has any available....what am I doing wrong? I usually check daily...on the east coast of the US. I already own a Vado 4.

I also moved on from a 2021 Giant Explorer 2 GTS....a good solid bike, but the 60 nm of power was not enough. I purchased a Vado 4 a few months later, and could not be happier. The 70nm of power is noticeable more powerful, and the Specialized bike is superior in every way. With the sale...

You should take a look at the Vado 4.0. It is a great bike, and I have owned mine for 1 1/2 years and ZERO problems....nothing. I currently have 3200 miles on it, and recently had a LBS check-up. All they did was greased the chain and sent me packing.....lol. Also, this is not my only ebike...
