    Arming the new rear wheel with the equipment seems to be simpler :)

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

    An excellent price as for carbon wheels from a well known brand! Regarding my Lemon Bike wheels, the builder company offers them to e-bikers and bike-packers. Comparing the weight per a wheelset: yours 1400 g, mine 2360. The U623 set can be bought for an equivalent of 410 quids. I simply didn't...

    Turbo Vado 3

    All we have YouTube and the internet news. You are not posting interesting industry developments. You are spamming. In a wrong thread. It is not any secret knowledge to read about, say, the new Avinox or another Chinese e-bike. If you were a person who would test new developments, you would be...

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

    During my test ride, the rear wheel fell into a deep pothole. "So what" I said under my breath :) Per a set?

    Turbo Vado 3

    I have owned a big Vado for 5 1/2 years and accumulated over 30,000 km on that e-bike. I can demo ride a Vado 3 as soon as it is available in Warsaw. Meanwhile, you haven't ridden and will not ride an X-Lab ST5+, so you are an ignorant (anecdotal "info"). You are trolling because you write...

    Turbo Vado SL 4.0 Tick-Tock Noise

    Can be anything. I can still remember squeaking of my Vado SL that was heard from the fork area for months. It was the suspension seat-post :)

    1.2 vs 2.0E motor

    OK, let us revisit the past when Specialized was gladly publishing the Boost Factor B of its motors. https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/my-2022-turbo-vado-4-review.52991/page-2#post-609229 Vado 5.0: 560 W peak power (mechanical), Boost factor 4.1x Vado 4.0: 470 W peak power...

    1.2 vs 2.0E motor

    Stomp. Divide the rated peak power of a given Bosch motor by its max boost factor and let me know what the rider power would be, please.

    1.2 vs 2.0E motor

    Apologies. I'm not your enemy, Jeremy. If I said something incorrect, it was not directed against you, just the appreciation of your hard work. I think you have calculated that value as always saturating the motor in TURBO? It is Bosch that defines a "typical rider". Bosch thinks a "typical...

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

    My generic Specialized rear wheel on Vado SL had survived 20,130 km (12,500 miles) before I decided to replace it. The U623/DT350/32 Sapim Strong combination is rated for such a high load I wouldn't hesitate installing in on my heavy Vado 6.0, especially with the rim width of 25 mm (which would...

    1.2 vs 2.0E motor

    I was very much interested in all those technical details until I discovered I really preferred riding to calculating the performance :) What still matters to me is a good understanding of the available battery range; I also need to calculate the available power and gearing for very steep...
