    Time Change?

    The clock on my Vado 2.0 was off by an hour this morning. I haven't ridden in a week or two, so I don't know how/when it changed. These bikes don't automatically reset for daylight saving, do they? And if so, have other parts of the Earth already moved their clocks? (Pardon me for being...

    Pedal Fell Off :(

    I've been sick for a while and haven't been using my bike to commute to work. I took a nice long ride earlier in the week though, so today felt like a good day to get back into the healthy routine. I got a couple miles from home and my left foot felt funny. It was still dark out, so I had to...

    Vado 3.0 in 2.0 clothing?

    About two weeks ago my LBS presented me with my new/replacement bike. There had been some warranty issues and Specialized very kindly totaled the bike and gave me a new one. I noticed right away that the new one didn't seem to cut out at 19mph like the old one did. I didn't think too much of...

    What's your maintenance routine?

    I haven't owned such a nice bike before, and definitely never one with expensive electronic components. I'd like to make sure I'm taking proper care of this investment, plus it's my ride to work. So what do you all do to your bikes on a regular basis? I lube my chain once or twice a week...

    Total Loss: Specialized replaced my Vado 2.0

    At the beginning of the month I took my "new-ish" Vado 2.0 in for some warranty work. I've posted about the problems here already, but the two issues were a grinding noise down in the crank region and the speedometer surges that would cut out the motor when I was climbing hills. After a few...

    Do you break spokes?

    I've never had a broken spoke before, but I've broken two spokes on my Vado 2.0 in less than 600 miles. I'm curious to know how often the average Turbo rider breaks a spoke.

    Jerky Vado 2.0

    I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem... Pedaling up steep hills in any of the modes (Eco, "Normal", or Turbo) the speedo will read some absurdly high number (28 mph, 41 mph, etc.). If I could pedal that fast uphill, I wouldn't need the doggone pedal assist. It's really dangerous...

    Phone charge from computer display?

    I think I already know the answer ("no"), but I'm curious to know if it's possible to run a charge cable from the Vado's micro USB port and charge a phone on the handlebars.

    Trip Reset on Vado 2

    The user documentation says that the trip odo and hours will be reset every time you power up the bike. Mine never worked that way, so I called Specialized to see if I was doing something wrong. They said no, that the bike must be defective, and told me to take it to my dealer for service. When...

    Two issues with new Vado 2.0

    I'm a new-ish owner with about 115 miles on the bike so far. I bought it for commuting (ride from home to the train station, and then from the city station to my office). I've noticed two issues. First, the trip odometer doesn't reset. It reset one time, so the bike miles are about 3 miles...
