That's what I thought. Spurious message then. And while searching the forums, I see that this has happened to other e-bike brands.

Not on the bike display, but instead this message came up yesterday on my Garmin Edge 1030+ while riding my '22 Vado SL 5.0. It eventually went away but I was wondering exactly what it meant. My main battery had just been charged to 100%, but then I was wondering if it was referring to the TCU...

I would add that the Futureshock on my SL seems to do better than the "full suspension" fork on my old Vado 4.0, but some of that improvement is no doubt due to the weight difference.

I always use grease, but apply to the inside of the seat tube, not to the post. This eliminates the mess of grease being scraped off when you insert the post and there's no residual grease on the post afterwards. Of course if you are frequently sliding the post up and down your experience could...

I rode 25.5 miles today with my Tuesday group and used only 7% battery with Microtune. I also rode 8 miles or so at 0% and was amused when my range estimation readout got up to 400+ miles. But that's not why I posted. The major new thing I discovered was how this bike does in very rough...

Rode 23.7 miles today on Microtune and used 7% battery, returning with the range estimator showing 144 miles! I was mostly riding at 10% with about 8 miles at 0% and just a couple of hills where I bumped it up to 20-30% for a short way. This is exactly what I was looking for all along on an...

OK, I see it now. Something about the perspective and colors threw me off.

That's still the only option for the non-EQ 5.0 as fast as I know. Also, what am I looking at in the 2nd photo? I can't figure out the viewpoint.

I've not noticed any objectionable motor noise from my Vado SL even though my previous Vado 4.0 was totally silent. Where I notice a big improvement with the SL is the much quieter freewheel ratcheting when coasting. My Vado 4.0 had a clicking that was loud enough that a few people riding next...

That's one reason I haven't used Smart Control. You're basically saying "give me as much assist as possible without depleting the battery below X%". A short ride that uses 90% of a full charge would certainly be exciting! 😳

Right from the start, I was never sure what the industry meant by "gravel bike" and why they seemed to be basically drop-bar road bikes with wider tires. You'd have to be a masochist to ride one of those on the unpaved roads around here, where most of the "gravel grinder" crowd ride...

For casual riding around town I'd stick with the basic levels (I turn Eco mode down quite a bit), but for longer rides when I want to control my exertion, etc., I'll definitely use Microtune.

I came back from my ride a couple days ago sold on the Microtune feature both for utility and battery savings. Overall, I rode 30 miles and used 13% battery. Well, that's actually not accurate since I rode 12 continuous miles out to our destination with the motor entirely off just to see how it...

Interesting. I'm still having trouble getting riding time, but after I get a better understanding of range using the standard (modified) modes, I'm anxious to give Microtune mode a try. Definitely makes sense since sometimes I've gone into Sport for a reason but then leave it there longer than I...

I may end up doing exactly that!

Just out of interest, what was the procedure for shipping your bike to Pro's Closet? That seems to me to be a fairly complex thing to "box up" a bike and ship it. Did you have to partially disassemble it? Who was the freight carrier?

Yes, if you're riding the Tour de France! Ever read how many calories a day those guys take in? And still look anorexic? o_O

I'm with you: I always used a small top tube bag to keep my phone handy and will miss having it there. It made it easy to take out to snap a photo or return a call, etc. As far as the original subject, it seems like Smart Control is intended to give you the max boost possible without fully...

When I go to the Sensors screen in my Edge 1030+ settings, I see three different sensor entries with the same sensor ID. One is for the E-bike functions, one is for Power, and the other is for Cadence & Speed, and these show as expected on the screens where I use them. Previously, I also had the...

(It's starting to get exhausting keeping up with this thread. :)) A couple of minor points. BLEvo no longer works with the 2022 models due to Specialized encrypting the data (or something to that effect). And your interaction with Rider Care is pretty much par for the course when dealing with...
