I figured cadence was the main difference. It seems like my wife may keep her bike in lower gear and spinning at a higher cadence, I’d guess in the 85-95 range whereas I probably stay in the 75-80 range. I wish I could put a larger chain ring on the Tero but there’s just no room. I think when...

Yes, I’m aware of the differences in weight effecting range, but I don’t our weight difference accounts for the total difference. I believe there is more at play and think it could be linked to cadence.

Other than software changes to the settings, what effects range and motor efficiency? I’m very aware of rider weight, terrain, wind, elevation, etc and how that effects the range. I’m specifically asking about cadence range. I’m asking because during a ride earlier with my wife, she on her Vado...

I've put a lot of miles on my new Tero X 5 over the last week and it's been stellar. The power is perfect, the range is great, and the bike overall is extremely versatile. I do kind of wish it had the Vado gearing but it's not a big deal. I was riding with my wife today who just got a new Vado 4...

I too was interested in the Vado 5 IGH. My lbs told me June of 2024. Hopefully they will have fixed any issues the Automatic was having or will just go with the twist shift which would be preference And yes, according to the Specialized chart the XL frame was the suggested size. But getting in...

I’ve tried the M, L, and XL. I’m 6’3 and felt most comfortable on the large frame. I absolutely love the Tero X 5. The majority of my rides are on trails, rails to trails, gravel, and pavement in my neighborhood. I don’t commute anywhere but ride everyday. The bike does exactly what I need it to...

Got my Tero X 5 back today. It’s the best, most comfortable bike I’ve owned. I’m very pleased with my lbs and the quick turnaround.

I just got a Tero X 5. I’m not sure how different it is from a Tero 3 in terms of gearing and weight but I find the x5 very easy to pedal with no assistance. I was very surprised and pleased by this. It alleviates range anxiety….almost😉

I have the Tero X 5. I’m 6’3 and with the large frame. I tried the XL in the Tero X and Vado and felt they were too stretched out for me. My large X 5 is the most comfortable bike I’ve ever ridden.

A couple weeks ago I asked my lbs about the availability of the Vado 5, both IGH and non, and they said they wouldn’t be available until June 2024. I doubt there’ll be a sale anytime soon.

I picked up a brand new Tero X 5 yesterday that I had ordered. It was an awesome bike for about 20 miles until the display shut off. I went back to the bike shop and they believe the issue is with a control port on the motor. The display work when plugged into their laptop and using their...

That was fun while it lasted. Just dropped the bike off at the shop. The display would not turn on. The diagnostic tool said there was no attached motor. It appears that the motor itself is not the issue but likely a port on the motor that malfunctioned. The net result is that they’re replacing...

I picked up my new Tero X 5 this morning and put in a quick 20 miles on paved trails with some steep climbs. This bike rips. I was considering a Vado 4 as I really like the speed due to the gearing but wanted the full suspension and the dropper post. Speed is not an issue with this bike. It may...

I was just at the shop placing my order and the tech there believes a 40t or 42t might be doable but nothing bigger. He also said I could go to a different cassette that has a 10t with the slightly larger chain ring for more speed. I probably won’t bother. Of course I could go with my wife’s...

Thank you for your input. The weight between a Vado 4 and the Tero X 5 is surprisingly similar. I think the Tero is only a pound or two heavier. I think I’ve made my decision. The Tero X is just more versatile and will comfortably cover everything I’m likely to do. The Vado probably would unless...

All are great points. I will add that the Tero X also has fenders and a rear rack for panniers. I think the Tero only weighs a couple pounds more.

I'm trying to choose between the two. I really love the looks of both, maybe like the looks of the Vado 4 a little more. My primary uses will be rail trails, Greenways, a mix of gravel and dirt trails, and of course asphalt. I might get into bike packing at some point. On the surface it seems...
