NIce write up. I am particularly interested in the rack for my Tero. It looks like the height of the rack could be adjusted somewhat if the 4 bolts securing the lower support arm allows the rack height to have some vertical adjustment. Your picture appears the rack is at maximum height - is...

Since the upgrade was only a software change, I believe it would be possible for a knowledgeable and willing Spec dealer to revert the bike to Class 1. And even tho the email I received announcing the availability to change my Class 1 Tero to Class 3 indicted it was permanent, I tend to believe...

has some cutaway views of the SL motor. Particularly @ 1 min doesn't look like there is a belt - just interconnected gears.

My 2020 4.0 SL is about the same age and mileage. So far so good as far as the motor goes. I've been riding almost all the time with the range extender in parallel mode to theoretically help preserve the internal battery. At 137 recharge cycles my internal battery is at 94% health and at 180...

The 42 were too tight a fit on the rear since the clearance to the fender bolt heads was very close. I kept the fenders on and switched to 38 mm and went tubeless. I also have a fenderless Tero (that can fit 2.35 in wide tires easily so clearance isn't an issue). Once I get the Tero updated...

I was able to remove a rounded bolt head by superglueing a sacrificial allen key (have plenty from furniture assembly kit). I think it is fairly common/easy for the smaller bike bolts to get rounded and there are a number of youtube videos with various methods for removing rounded bolts. In...

Yes the email says the update is free.

Good to know. See this thread for info on someone who did swap chainrings. I think he eventually sold the bike but gives good info on class 3 enabled Tero. https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/what-equipment-for-a-tero-5.46948/page-4

California. Pretty sure the offer would be only for US Teros.

Just got an email from Specialized offering to permanently change my Tero from Class 1 (US 20 mph restriction) to Class 3 (28 mph) at no charge. I'll probably do this and glad I don't have to spring for the Peartune.

I've only been using blevo's smart control for awhile now. So I haven't adjusted the osync settings in awhile. But as I recall I ended up setting the increments to 5% (short press) and 10% (long press). Then I set ECO to 16% support/100% assist. So decreasing the assist with 3 short presses...

If the chain is falling off, it is also likely the limit screw(s) needs adjustment. If the bike is new and the shop is near and not super busy, they should be able to take care of it. If you are interested in learning how to do it yourself, it is fairly simple if you watch a youtube or two...

Thanks for the post. Ordered this and found it makes short work of Conti Gatorskins and Spec Armadillo tire that were somewhat difficult to mount on the rims I have. Works much easier than the plier type levers I've used before. I've also tried the Tire Glyder. It's nice and compact but...

Exactly. The single at 28 lbs and folding design in a platform rack make it small enough to fit in my cars sub trunk. At the same time it is easy to attach to the car and very easy to load a bike onto it. And the 75lb load rating makes it more than adequate for any ebike I'm likely to have...

Now that I've gotten my Wheel Stop I can see why the 46" limitation even tho the tray is 9" longer. In the Wheel Stop storage position they designed it so the spool will fit nicely between the folded down rack arms. This forces the front wheel to be located further away from the tray edge than...

Mine should be here tomorrow. Thanks for the pics. Pretty sure the 48" wheelbase Tero will not be an issue since there will be plenty of space between the front axle and edge of the tray. I'm guessing with 29er tires it may require just a folded towel to push the front wheel a bit closer to...

Vado and Tero 710 Wh battery is sku 98921-5634. Refer to https://support.specialized.com/turbovado/en/service-maintenance/replacement-parts Tero replacement part SKU is the same. Google 98921-5634 doesn't turn up any sources to buy these tho. Apparently Levo/Kenevo use a different battery...

Agreed the wheel stop is fixed. What I meant is that the 1up tray is about 55" long and the bike does not need to be exactly centered. Thus with a wheelbase of 46" there is flexibility on where the bike is placed. The Wheel Stop then determines where the front wheel needs to be in order to be...

I hadn't been aware of the wheel stop accessory. Thanks for the post and I'll be ordering one for my 1Up. It looks like the rear fender still needs to be clamped by the 1Up. This is not so much a problem on the Vado SL EQ as it clamps very near to the integratred rack/fender strut and the...

About a year later tho with fewer miles added. Mission Control still reports 100% battery health while Blevo reports additional loss of about 9 Wh from main battery and 3 Wh from range extender. Both are now out of 2 year warranty period but the battery degradation has not been bad at all.
