    As they say 'Some technology around and the man gets lost' :) Well, I regret you are experiencing issues.

    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    @rochrunner, @Jeremy McCreary, @BioWheel : While talking on the strange "wedge" design of the seat-post clamp, we all seem to have forgotten the most important rule! Ye Goode Olde Specialized :D :D :D Of course! Specialized has always to invent something non-standard that makes you scratch...

    Also, I looked at the Specialized Australia website: https://www.specialized.com/au/en/turbo-tero-40-eq/p/4222098?color=5370169-4222098&searchText=95126-5104 Three sizes were available. Two sizes available in stores and one online. I realise that a relevant bike store could be a thousand...

    What I Learned from Buying and Riding My First Electric Bike

    Don't worry my e-bikes are from about the same era :)

    I'm so sorry Kevin! Didn't check the AUS availability! I think @Aushiker wants to sell his little used R&M Supercharger. We all know and trust Andrew. Sounds like a plan? As I said, it is hard to beat an R&M e-bike in the bikepacking role, and Riese & Muller is one of very few brands that...

    Wahoo ELEMNT Ace (on Specialized E-Bikes)

    Garmin is not any better in this respect :) Honestly, I could not find a way to be taken to a specific address on my Garmin 540, even on the Garmin Connect app! (As everything in Garmin, it must be a well hidden feature). All I could do was tapping on the map in Garmin Connect and sending the...

    Not. It has to be a second battery. I ride an older Vado 6.0 and have to carry a spare battery in the pannier. (Range Extenders are pertinent to the SL system) Tero or Vado batteries are removable and chargeable on or off the bike. R&M can be either optimistic or honest with its Total System...

    @warek437: I didn't want to interfere in this thread as your country is very special and I preferred an Australian like @Aushiker to talk here. However, I've read your needs and think I can contribute. First of all, let's skip Specialized SL e-bikes. These are not for you, not for you want to...

    Turbo Vado 2 4.0 or 5.0 or 6.0?

    Yes, it did. The original Vado SL 4.0 (up to 2021) was equipped with a 10-speed Shimano drivetrain while it got the 11-speed SRAM NX since MY 2022. Isn't your 5.0 a 12-speed Shimano?

    Carrying photography gear on a ride

    It looks the ThinkTank holsters are made for a camera and its lens. Any idea for a bag that could securely store say up to three lenses of a very reasonable size?

    Did you check it before you wrote your post? Why do you think R&M is so popular in Australia? Have you checked why Specialized Creo 2 or Vado 2 SL were even mentioned by Aushiker, Base?

    Well, Jeremy, the conventional clamp in my big Vado holds equally well, and I'm not the most lightweight person :)

    Currently, whenever I need to remove the seat-post for any reason (for instance to grease the ShockStop springs), I remove the post with the e-bike inverted, so the wedge would rather fall on the floor :)
