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

    I'm in Gypsum, CO. Near Beaver Creek ski resort. I had a Cannondale Quick Carbon 2 flat bar road bike when I moved here from the Denver area. It was fine for about 15 miles or so, but I'm in a valley with hills all around. I have nerve damage in my left leg from a lower back fusion about...

    I tried 60/60, but I really need 60/100 to keep going 80 rpm cadence on the hills here in CO mountains.

    Wahoo Roam 3 (Is A Lemon)

    I had to read about why you are returning it. So is there any current generation biking computer which is perfect or almost for the SL with range extender? I submitted a few enhancement requests to Garmin but likely never happening.

    Why did you return the roam 3? Also, you can switch to a 12 speed😃

    One of the best upgrades on did on my bike was Sram AXS. Love how smooth it is. I'm sure you won't go electronic because you are the opposite of me 😜 Coincidentally I met a guy on the trail today with DI2 and his battery was dead 😃

    In case anyone was wondering, I updated my display and motor on my SL 5.0 at my LBS today. Not sure what, if anything, it fixed. Last update I did was over a year ago when there was an update to allow 80% charge. The tech did have to do some kind of motor calibration procedure with the...

    Here is an interesting thing for me that I discovered using the SL bike. Not sure if other people have experienced this or not. I mostly ride to increase my heart rate and get cardio while I was riding. I figured that riding in ECO mode 30/30 would be best because it's more of my own...

    Yeah. You can only import one at a time. I had to do that when I had a watch that wasn't uploading.

    It's actually not that complicated. If you go to your My Account page, there is a place in Strava where you can select to Download or Delete your account. When you do that and select to Download, it will work in the background and then email you a link to export all your Strava data. It...

    Good Luck!!! Are you using both RE? Seems like one may be enough with that distance.

    Will Specialized come out with a mini electric pump like Trek?

    As a side funny story: My next door neighbor got a Trek Fuel a few weeks ago. They have been riding it for a few weeks. Yesterday they came up to me and asked me to help them inflate the tires with a pump that they had gotten at the local hardware store. The pump only works with schrader...

    Will Specialized come out with a mini electric pump like Trek?

    I like the generic pump that I got, but could buy another one at some point for my other bike rather than switching back and forth. What do you like about the silca vs the Cycplus? I was thinking of a Cycplus AS2 Pro.

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

    Ok...so there are two issues going on here. #1: Garmin isn't using the Range Extender in it's calculation (good catch Stefan). So Specialized estimates a much longer ranch with the RE. #2: Even with just a main battery, Garmin Smart Travel Range is about 50% of what Specialized is...

    Ok... So I hate to admit this, but Stefan is right in this instance. My Garmin 840 only displays the main battery level. I was misled, because I always ride with them draining together and thought the Garmin was displaying a combined %. It is close because when you start with them both at...

    I'll try this next time, even if it is just for you to prove that Wahoo is better. I know you love Wahoo. 😃

    What does 4/6 mean? 66.7% or 40% for one battery and 60% for the other? Seems like your Wahoo is defective. 4/6 isn't really a percent.

    I don't have my range extender draining first. So when my Garmin says 50%, each battery is at 50% individually. Specialized says 75% because it starts at 150%, so really specialized is displaying it incorrectly. Ie. If I getting a bigger battery and install it on my Vado SL, the total...

    Not entirely true, just different My Garmin recognizes it, but it is 0-100% with both batteries combined. Ie. 50% on Garmin is 75% on the specialized display (starts at 150%)
