    Como Handlebars on Vado 5.0

    Gotta search the threads, it's all documented, off the top of my head, I'd need to do that to provide you your answer. Additionally, 3rd part availability is equal to sweep, etc., it's posted somewhere in here :(

    Turbo Vado 5.0: IGH or chain?

    It's mind blowing, try it.

    Turbo Vado 5.0: IGH or chain?

    I never even had ever checked when I had the IGH if Smart Control was an option to use......interesting.

    Turbo Vado 5.0: IGH or chain?

    Yes. Out of the blue, I checked evey day if 'Smart (Dumb) Control was operational, and BINGO! Last Saturday it worked! No major announcement or notification from anyone however, just my experience, which I had posted here. AND....quite frankly, I got up for early 2 days now at 4-5 AM to 'beat...

    Turbo Vado 5.0: IGH or chain?

    1,000 % agreed. It's a shame though. Maybe in the next few years it could be perfected. Maybe. But given the track record of Specialized sloooooooow response for things, who know, maybe when I'm dead :(

    Guns or knives?

    Turbo Vado 5.0: IGH or chain?

    re: I have given a second thought to whether I would be happy with the IGH and now I would say: "It's not for me". I've realized I mostly ride mixed terrain (it is called "gravel cycling"). However fantastic the IGH might be, it cannot do the single important thing: the IGH cannot predict the...

    Turbo Vado 5.0: IGH or chain?

    Not that this has anything to do with e-bikes, but an interesting observation nonetheless (as Stefan points out about electric cars and hybrid cars), I was at drive thru at the local bank Saturday on my Vado 5.0, and a Tesla Model 3 pulled into the stall to my left. I saw his right front tire...

    Mission Control no longer shows firmware versions and update version numbers...

    It's kida weird that they keep screwing with the firmware and software. I still want the functionality of "Smart Control" back. Additionally, has ANYONE ever seen or have the Mission Control app display ANY reference(s) to ANY service EVER? I have seen this on multiple past and present bike, no...

    Has anyone ridden both a Vado 4.0 and a Vado 5.0 and can compare?

    In reference to your "Wouldn't it be ironic if I concluded that I should have just gotten two 4.0s"?---statement

    Has anyone ridden both a Vado 4.0 and a Vado 5.0 and can compare?

    Chill, don't get too excited and bypass the 5.0 opportunity, you'll be a happy camper waiting out those extra few days for it (the 5.0)

    Has anyone ridden both a Vado 4.0 and a Vado 5.0 and can compare?

    I've had a Vado 5.0 IGH, it was a horrible bike but very intriguing (the technology), had Specialized refund mine and my wife's. I put on about 600 miles before ditching it. I had a 2021 Vado 5.0 chain drive (had for a year, 5,200 miles nothing majorly wrong, great bike, had an opportunity to...

    And, so it begins, price cuts, inventory, the next phase?

    As a side note. It would be rather interesting to know (I can and may check) if the bike shop(s) selling the used e-bikes have service records, mileage, battery life/history~charges, etc. Like a Bike-Fax. Otherwise...it might be a crap shoot. Reason I say this is because I've now had 4 or 5...

    Mission Control-'Smart Control' has NOT been fixed! (7/9/23 UPDATE NOW FIXED!)

    Well, I was going to start a totally new thread. I'm pisssed, as I should be. It's been going on since March, we are now going into June. Zero communication from Specialized. Did they screw it up? In any event, we the consumer get screwed while the engineers figure out how to back pedal...

    And, so it begins, price cuts, inventory, the next phase?

    Opinion/Sharing While in Florida this year on my Florida Vado 4.0, I continued to on occasion go to Conte's Bike Shop in Ft. Lauderdale for this, for that, to look, to get, etc. I am on their mailing list, and I got this notice today. Pretty interesting that they are selling used e-bikes at...
