    Smart Control -

    Mine used to work, as discussed, as well as my wife's Como, used to work. The both bikes seem crippled when using Smart Control. Odd thing is the LBS manager tried it on a few bikes on the sales floor, has the same result, minimal involved assistance, semi-crippled. The other thing is the...

    10 Different bike saddles, and still a sore ass

    I did a bike "fit" and paid handsomely for it a year ago on 2 bikes. I have chamois padded under garment(s). I tried the Ergon saddle Stefan suggested today, OK for 10 miles, we'll see as it goes forward.

    10 Different bike saddles, and still a sore ass

    There is no magic bullet. I cannot find the perfect companion for my riding pleasure. I may have to consider giving up the sport, it remains painful to ride and not to say expensive.

    Not sure what that means?

    Smart Control is now Dumb Control?

    OK, here is the odd thing. PRIOR to my bike getting the control and display swapped out, I HAD the latest firmware for everything. My wife's Como did not have any firmware updates for almost a year (2 or 3 behind). SHE experienced the very same thing just PRIOR to my experiences as well as when...

    Smart Control is now Dumb Control?

    So yes, I had a Wahaoo Tickr paired previously which still showed as a connected bluetooth device in Mission Control. I dis-associated, unpaired it. Still, Smart Control shows a 10% assistance. Screenshots attached.

    Smart Control is now Dumb Control?

    So, sharing this with the LBS, they referenced the following screenshot Not 100% sure what may have changed since the firmware update, etc., but I'll un-pair and repair my Wahoo Tickr and report back tomorrow. My only concern is that I choose DISTANCE, not HEART RATE, so I do not see the relevance

    Smart Control is now Dumb Control?

    Last week, the LBS swapped out the handlebar remote & screen (they say it's the 'package' and has to be done as a set), as it was intermittently inoperative, mostly during cold weather. (see: https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/handlebar-remote-on-2022-vado-como.51315/ ) They ordered...

    Specialized releases Turbo Tero X

    On Wednesday this week I went to the LBS to get a component replaced on my Vado. While there, I took a Tero X (6.0) for a ride to kill some time while they were doing the repair. I have to say, it is a very, very impressive bike. In a heartbeat, I might consider one IF I hit the lotto this...

    Specialized releases Turbo Tero X

    re: "Resale of ebikes is concerning", I recently saw a 2021Vado SL 5.0 for $2,195 with 10 miles on it. ( https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/6233007700068615/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A44807224-0619-438c-a9b4-97f0172c6e9b ) I have to...

    Proper seats/saddles (especially for an e-bike)

    So last week the Dr. said to use Duo Derm pads..I did, made it worse. Today, Dermatologist said to use Cortisone thin layer with Desitin over that. Not sure that is sound advice, as Cortisone thins the skin. Next stop, Sports Medicine doctor. In the meantime, have to restrict bike riding :(

    Proper seats/saddles (especially for an e-bike)

    Me too (6-8 seats in the basement). I did 35 miles yesterday, and today I'm going to put back some of the previous seats, as all of the adjustments, etc., made the ride(s) more improved, but the irritation of the chafing/sore is increased with the new Specialized Mirror seat. If I remember...
