    Proper seats/saddles (especially for an e-bike)

    Will do. I do not think I'm doing the twist.

    Proper seats/saddles (especially for an e-bike)

    HOWEVER, with you seated on the saddle, and with the photo as shown, and each leg extended with each down and the pedal being parallel with the surface of the pavement/ground, is your knee bent or is your leg fully extended. I'd be interested to see THAT photo. MY inseam is 32"-33", my EXACT...

    Proper seats/saddles (especially for an e-bike)

    "my seat height to be where I can sit on it and be on my tip toes comfortably at a stop, one foot on the ground and the other on a pedal, ready to speed away" My exact setting

    Proper seats/saddles (especially for an e-bike)

    So, out of curiosity, do I take a 'level' and raise my seat to mimic the photo above (as referenced 'level'), and not have control of when stopped (placing feet/foot on ground when coming to or at a stop)?

    Proper seats/saddles (especially for an e-bike)

    Following up regarding the questions (and answers) specific to this discussion. I, am 72 years old (in 2 months), 6'0", 222 lbs. My Vado 5.0 is a Medium size. I had Large before, and came to find out that a Large was a misconfiguration for my sense of everything, and the Medium feels like a...

    Thank you. I'll study your placement and angles and attempt to replicate. My ass may not be as big as yours however 🤣 (kidding)

    Turbo Vado 5.0 IGH - The Nightmare Continues

    Well, I'll "chime in". Specialized informed me during the Como defective fork saga that: "Each individual supplier of specific parts that are procured by Specialized to 'build' a bike that is sold to a consumer is covered by THAT manufacturer of THAT part, NOT Specialized". So, the fork was...

    Proper seats/saddles (especially for an e-bike)

    WIDTH is the issue, I'm thinking. The Specialized Power Pro with Mirror at the back is wide, but not as wide as your reference photo, so I'm of the belief I need narrower at the back.

    Proper seats/saddles (especially for an e-bike)

    For the last 5-6 years, I've purchase, tried, have, returned, experimented and do not seem to have the capability to get a proper fitting saddle for the many e-bikes I've had, most currently the Vado 5.0. I probably have at least 6 or 7 in the garage and the basement. The most recent one (still...

    Turbo Vado 5.0 IGH - The Nightmare Continues

    I too, suffered many, many issues as an early adopter of the IGH model. I even had several months of unavailable replacement parts for my wife's Como. I do understand that there was a pandemic, I do understand that for the most part, the appropriate local bike shop 'should' do everything in...

    LEV Motor Error on 2022 Vado 5.0

    I've not had any errors whatsoever on this bike, but I did yesterday for the first time. Puzzled, I stopped, shut down, restarted, gone. However, as seen on the referenced photos, something whacky did happen, but what? In any event, I use a Wahoo Element Roam (ANT + Bluetooth), I also use my...

    Question on 'dropped chain'?

    PLEASE, WHY is it that WE as the owners of a bike need to have specific knowledge of specifications that are not 100% verified? It makes my life miserable.

    Question on 'dropped chain'?

    I guess that I just have to make sure that I swap out the chain (when needed) BEFORE I have my Tequila :)

    Question on 'dropped chain'?

    I remember a while ago, last year on the other Vado, I had counted links, taken pictures, was it 124, 126, 128, not remembering the exact #, but does anybody have the knowledge as to the exact number of links per chain, per bike, per drivetrain? Does the LBS, manufacturer, anyone know the...

    Question on 'dropped chain'?

    My most recent chain I replaced at 2200 mi. or so (I'd need to be sure that was the mileage I had when I changed i) I used a KMC chain. I use HotWax ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KXQS6YI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) and try clean it (the chain) every week or 2 and...

    OMNI QUICKTRACK ADAPTER & MTX TRUNKBAG EX ON A 2022 VADO or COMO?

    I did a similar thing with the KlikFix adapter, using a piece of thin plastic outside the bottom of the bag. I'll try it on the inside to see if it is any better. Thanks for your input.

    OMNI QUICKTRACK ADAPTER & MTX TRUNKBAG EX ON A 2022 VADO or COMO?

    I'm tired of the floppy bags that won't stay straight and firm and look sloppy. I've purchased mounting racks from various companies (Racktime for the 2021 model) and the UniKlip from Klikfix (which works with the 2022 model Vado/Como). However, once the bag is mounted on the adapter, it gets...
