    Considering a Specialized, got a few questions

    The suspension seat post IS adjustable. Take the post out and you'll see the adjustment screw on the bottom

    Considering a Specialized, got a few questions

    I find a more upright position fine for short trips, cruising, but learned that a more sporty position that balances the weight much better for any distances.

    Considering a Specialized, got a few questions

    Yes the Specialized Vado stem is peculiar one. I've seen people replace them with adjustable ones but they don't look right as they don't have the same shape. Your best best is to change the handlebars to some with a larger rise

    NBD Vado 3 IGH

    Thanks! All the Vado's may be Class 3, that definitely appears to be the case. The IGH version on their site is still showing to be class 1, the chain version shows to be class 3. They probably just failed to update their website.

    NBD Vado 3 IGH

    The Vado 3 with the chain shows as a class 3 on the Specialized site, the IGH version still shows as a class 1. I think the chain version of the Como 3 shows as being class 3 and the Como IGH was definitely a class 1. I don't know what's going on with their bikes but I'm glad mine is class 3.

    NBD Vado 3 IGH

    Yet another new bike in my stable. I recently got the very awesome Tero X 5 and am very happy with it. When I bought I struggled with deciding to get it or the Vado 4. I loved the natural speed of the Vado but ultimately felt the full suspension and general do-it-all quality of the Tero X would...

    I bought a Turbo Tero X 6.0, AMA

    Typo, the 5 is also 360psi. I think the main difference is that the 6 has a lockout, the 5 does not. For the design goal of the Tero X these shocks are perfectly adequate.

    I bought a Turbo Tero X 6.0, AMA

    You run the rear shock at over 300psi? I know the rear shocks are different on the 5.0 and the 6.0 but I find on my 5 that I need to run my psi at about 220-230. I’m about 185lbs and that is a little higher than I’ve set rear shocks in the past to achieve 25-30% sag.

    Tero X 6 and 9 other ESUV's compared

    That's a nice color. I almost bought the 6 but didn't want another black bike. I would've bought the morning mist if it had been available. Ultimately of the available colors I preferred the red onyx and didn't mind saving some money and the slightly lower torque motor.

    Tero X 6 and 9 other ESUV's compared

    It's on their site as an offered color here in the states but from what I understand it's never actually been in stock to order.

    Tero X 6 and 9 other ESUV's compared

    That’s what the article said it was and the specs they gave were for the 6.

    Tero X 6 and 9 other ESUV's compared

    They may have only released it overseas. I saw another review or video that was also white and was foreign.

    Tero X 6 and 9 other ESUV's compared

    I read this article that compares and reviews 10 E-SUV bikes. Spoiler alert, the Tero X 6 best out some pretty decent competition that included Riese and Muller Delight. I don't have the X6, but I have the X5 and it's fantastic. Here's a link to the article for those that are interested...

    Shipping fees

    I’m curious why Zen advertises on their site free shipping to the US yet when go to order a bike they let you that they’re covering most of the shipping and import fees but they tack on an additional $110 for shipping. This is not free shipping and should not be advertised as such.

    Considering a Specialized, got a few questions

    I rode a Vado 3.0 IGH today and was quite impressed. I’m a huge fan of the Vado 4 and certainly prefer it as it’s a class 3 and has very easy speed. I was surprised at how strong of a hill climber the 3 IGH was with its 50nm motor. I ride my Tero X 5 in the stock eco setting pretty exclusively...

    Samurai/Zen quality Question

    I’m very likely to buy a Samurai, most likely today or in the morning. I’ve been looking all over the internet and I’m not finding hardly any positives or negatives from actual owners. It appears Zen has shipped many bike but I’ve only seen a handful of owners on the forums. This is likely a...

    Battery/Motor efficiency/range question

    I absolutely will be enjoying my Tero X, hopefully for years to come. I’m not worried about the range, but was more just curious about the difference and also how to best maximize the efficiency through cadence. Good point on xD freehub, I’ll need to look into that but hopefully not anytime...

    Battery/Motor efficiency/range question

    That very well may be the difference. I didn’t take the differences of the tires into consideration. For the riding I like to do I’m better off with the ground controls. I really like the stock Vado tires and am considering getting a Vado 4 for myself in addition to the Tero. I’ll probably wait...
