    Quick-E+

    Okay, considering the paradise status, that Quick E+ might not be such a bad deal. The Yamaha motor is a blast to ride, and reliable. For that price, I would probably pull the trigger.....

    Quick-E+

    Looking at this site: https://www.bicyclebluebook.com/ I could not see the value of the 2019 Quick E, but the value of a 2018 in excellent condition is from $1486 to $1529......I believe $2200 is a little high. With that said, that bike does look good, and is basically new. Offer the 2k and...

    Quick-E+

    I have owned the Giant Roam E+ and the Explorer E+, and both were good bikes with no issues. The 60nm of power on the Explorer was okay, but once I road the Fastroad EX....game over. The 80nm is noticeably stronger. The Explorer for $2900 is a steal though and I would probably buy that one...

    Quick-E+

    I owned a 2022 Trek 8s and loved the Bosch motor, but I hated the Cobi App and the Phone holder, so I sold it, and purchased a Giant Fastroad EX Pro. The 7s has the Purion display, which is too minimalist for my taste, plus there is NO Bluetooth connectivity with Bosch, so connecting my Garmins...

    Turbo Vado power vs Vado SL power

    Very nice, and great pictures. Surprised to hear your frame cracked on the big Vado. I hope they get it fixed soon. Thanks for the write up.

    Turbo Vado 4.0 Rear Light

    Thank you for this post. I purchased my Vado 4 in June, and just noticed a few days ago, the rear light was NOT coming on. Upon inspection, same thing, wire severed near the tire. I am running 2.4 vs 2.3...and that might account for it, but it seems like a small design flaw on an otherwise...

    Help Identifying New Turbo Vado 5.0

    That is probably correct...the 2022's have suspension forks and the downtube is narrower. Hope that helps.

    Turbo Vado power vs Vado SL power

    I have owned/own both. Initially I was riding the SL, and it is butter smooth with the power delivery, and relatively fast, but not as much punch as I would like. The full powered Vado 4 is just a blast. It is the best e-bike I have ever owned...its that good. Yet the SL is going to be great...

    Energypak Plus range extender for 2020 bikes

    Greetings. I have the 2021/22 Giant Fastroad ex pro, and was wondering where is the best place to get the range extender. In 50% assist (eco), I can easily get close to 100 miles on a full charge....that drops to 50 miles when I use the default ECO, my personal preference. In theory, the...

    Vado SL or a more powerful bike?

    Fortunately, I owned/own both a Vado SL and the full powered Vado 4. The only advantage in my book for the SL is that it is light. In just ECO mode, I could get 70 miles of riding out of it. It felt great, until big hills showed up. I sold that bike, and purchased the heavier Vado 4, but it...

    2022 Vado 4 Review (after 1000 miles of ownership)

    Pricey, maybe.....but the Vado 4.0 is a steal when you consider all that you are getting in that package. I have owned other ebikes that were more expensive, but not quite as polished as the offering from Specialized.

    2022 Vado 4 Review (after 1000 miles of ownership)

    No problem. A lot of people shun Specialized, including me, prior to actually riding one. The "hype" around these bikes is real. Everything about this bike was well though out, and it is a superbly engineered machine. Well done again to the team at Specialized.

    Giant powering off repeteadly

    Great information and insight. These forums are the best to resolve real life issues, fairly quickly. I pick up my second Fastroad EX Pro in 5 days. Hopefully I will not have any issues. At least, there are real answers and solutions to try. Take care.

    Giant powering off repeteadly

    I spoke with a LBS in Maryland this morning, who informed me that after months of prodding with Giant, they discovered that the “sudden shut-off” issue while riding was due to a batch of bad batteries with the wrong firmware. The LBS informed me that Giant swapped out all of the old batteries...
