    2nd battery for Turbo 5.0 costs how much?

    $1700 and change! This is the price at my LBS from Specialized . Seems a little steep, can anyone confirm this is correct?

    New Vado Owner

    It looks to me the specialized bag is on the incorrect side of the bike. They offer slightly improved wind resistance but it looks like the larger non smooth side is forward to the wind?

    Turbo Vado Kickstand too long

    On my large non step through I find it very tall and close to too tall but like as is. I carry weight in bags so this puts less strain on the kickstand . I am more careful when I use it especially on uneven ground then my other bikes . 1 is too low so I use objects to lean when I can on that...

    2022 Vado 5.0 IGH speed issue

    Oni, I will try that thx. I wonder if the hub is “broken” if it would act the same and say it is highest gear and not be even when directly controlled. If I can’t go 28 by the time I hit a 100 cadence there is something wrong somewhere, either my settings or hardware/firmware not working...

    2022 Vado 5.0 IGH speed issue

    More testing…still can’t get top speed same issues. I had it in the graphic of what approximate gear the bike was in and went for a local ride , never got to high gear, the auto shifts stopped 1 short as it feels. Ran Calibration said ok, graphic at the highest level now but felt the same , 1...

    2022 Vado 5.0 IGH speed issue

    That was there but the graph was not showing, I didn’t know what the top ratio is supposed to so it was no good to me . I have to weigh playing with bike against ride time…for me ride day = bike day in general and is every other day which means the more I play the less I ride and I really enjoy...

    2022 Vado 5.0 IGH speed issue

    Ok getting confused and slightly frustrated still have not called shop yet or wrote anywhere else. I tried to find the “Gear Index” screen on page 23 of my manual and I not able to find it anywhere. The frustration part is even if I can find the screen it is only a tool to find out where my...

    First Batch of Evelo Omegas Has Landed

    Compared to my new specialized Vado 5 both the same same auto shift it has more power yet surprising limited to 25mph not even the full 28mph class 3 and no front suspension option. I like what I read about their products but get stuck on the 2 issues above. I would think unlocked the bike...

    Harley Serial 1 Half Price Sale at Best Buy - $1900 up

    I think this is “last year’s model” , different app and not backwards compatible, at least something similar. I think it may may be a pretty good deal . Harley seems to be distancing itself from Serial 1

    ‘22 Specialized Turbo Vado 4.0 TCD issue

    My 5.0 is still new to me, I have not used the app yet just got it loaded and connected. I am getting a message that there is a new firmware for the display. I am wondering if this has anything bearing on the issue and I may wait a little to install

    New Stromer flagship ST7

    I love what Stromer designs and riding dynamics but not sure of how this would get fixed if I had an issue with no dealer in my state. I too would not ride without front suspension, the seat suspension is a given and should come with it.

    Not disabled but what knee brace as you using?

    Trying a knee brace probably won’t hurt anything , please correct me if I am wrong, not a costly thing to try . Gives my wife more confidence even when it still hurts some.

    Ok, I get it now...

    I am surprised when any rider doesn’t where gloves. This is because for me it was such a large change in riding comfort. The largest change was for my back and shoulders not my hands. I was able to move my hands to many more positions of comfort or maybe a position I wouldn’t have used.changed...

    2022 Vado 5.0 IGH speed issue

    After a little more reading I found also the Gear Index screen in the manual which will show the gear index which is the equivalent to which shows where your gearing is currently set. I have not seen it on my bike yet but this what I am looking for. Based on the above info at a cadence of 100...
