    Turbo Vado Front Rack

    Ya, I hear you. I commute and live in a densely populated city and EVERYONE notices my bike. All positive as there is a lot of interest in biking where I live. But when I ride to my neighborhood bar I lock my bike with two ABUS level15 security locks (chain and folding) to a proper bike rack. I...

    Turbo Vado Front Rack

    I just got the turbo basked with the adapter for the rear rack and it came with extra screws and small parts which I believe will be used for mounting to the front. Still need the front bracket which is not available yet. I can tell you the basket is really nice and definetly worth it.

    Hooray for New Bike Day: Vado 4.0 2022

    I only have a year before retirement and my employer is fine with me being 100% remote, but I can go in if I want. I am just trying to have fun and break up the monotony. I have worked remotely since 2016... the last two years due to covid and in the preceding 4 years I worked from a pediatric...

    Specialized Turbo Vado/Como/Tero/Tero X User Club

    Does anyone know the part number for a spacer set that will fit the Specialized Flowset stem that comes on Vado/Como bikes? All I need is to add one 2.5mm but they are shaped oddly.

    Yes, and there is an outlet in the bike shelter at my place of work.

    Hooray for New Bike Day: Vado 4.0 2022

    Thank you I will. I used to ride this commute when I was younger on a single speed for a couple of decades. I stopped when my son got cancer (cured now) and hadn't ridden for a while. However, last year I bought a Como 3.0 and rode 1000 miles. On a bike like the Vado I know 100% I can still...

    Hooray for New Bike Day: Vado 4.0 2022

    It could be possible. My commute is flat except for one steep hill that is only about half a mile long. Once I really have a good feel for how the battery performs I'll see if I can make it on one charge.

    Hooray for New Bike Day: Vado 4.0 2022

    I just picked up a 2022 Vado 4.0 and the new tailwind bags. I spent the last year on a 3.0 Como and put 1000 miles on it. Now that covid has waned and I can commute to the office again (60-mile round trip) I decided to upgrade. Really impressed with this bike and going from class 1 (420...

    Nice Front Basket for Como Perfect Fit

    It's a bit too much for what I really need. I carried two cases of beer (cans) on it no problem which is about 40 pounds... and if I needed to do that often perhaps I'd want to keep the pizza rack. I also don't use panniers. I need a small basket to for picking up items at the store... take...

    2020 Como 3.0 Brose 1.2e Motor

    Hello, I searched and didn't see an answer to this question. Is there a way I can update the firmware on the 1.2e to operate at 1.2 specs? Mechanically both engines seem to be identical. Thanks in advance.

    Relocating Headlight Como 3.0

    Lakewood Ohio. It's a very bicycle-friendly city first-ring suburb of Cleveland proper. I have dedicated bike lanes and/or separate paths that I can rind all over the city as well as into DT Cleveland and south to Akron (even 70 more miles south past Akron).

    Relocating Headlight Como 3.0

    Thanks for all the ideas. I ordered the Herrmans handlebar mount... after pulling out a micrometer and measuring my light and looking at the specs on Herrmans... it should work. Thanks again everyone. I picked up a seafood pizza this afternoon (perfect first use)... the light definitely needs...

    Relocating Headlight Como 3.0

    Hello, I bought the Specialized pizza rack and installed it. I am trying to determine how to relocate the headlight under the front of the rack (there is enough cable length) using the bolt hole (looks like an M5) but I have no idea if a bracket exists. The bracket currently attacked is way...

    2020 COMO 3.0 MPH Derestricted with Planet3

    So I just took it off and rode a few miles in my city. 20mph feels right to me. I have been riding in this environment a long time and I am glad I purchased a class one Como. I saved money with it being left over from 2020 and now I know I really don't need a class 3 bike for 100 dollars.
