    Anyone converted their Turbo Vado to tubeless tires?

    Yup... Like you I am increasing my bike/shopping trips. Fuel cost here is nutz!

    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    Agreed. That said, the sign states "ebike" so generically I bet it deters many users. I go there often and usually see numerous scooters on any given busy Sunday. Not that day though...

    Anybody tried Clik tire valves?

    Yup, good point. My son went tubeless and back to tubes, but kept the Cliks on because "They're so much easier". :)

    Anybody tried Clik tire valves?

    100% agreed. No need/desire to change from Clik to anything else, and zero desire to go back...

    Anybody tried Clik tire valves?

    Yup, guess so, among a couple of others. I suppose a good idea creates competition.

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

    Nice! So far my Tektro brakes are holding up really well. Would I prefer Shimano? Sure, but I'll need to experience a serious failure of some sort to consider a change. Glad the new gear is working for you mate. Almost forgot... I recall a couple of years ago heading out down my block and being...

    Admittedly I see an increase in those Surron type machines. Never seen one at that park, but have seen numerous scooters (except for today). I "didn't see" the sign, and did my regular route anyway. Will need to think about returning. Yeesh... And yes, I completely agree with your synopsis...

    Went out for another quick jaunt today. Weather even nicer than yesterday! No pics to speak of except for this one I took at the park. First time seeing this... Thanks a lot to whomever screwed that up... 😒

    Today was brilliant. 20C+ and gorgeous out. First ride of the year in shorts and short sleeves. Felt fantastic! After mowing the front lawn and doing a bit of weeding I had to get out for a ride. Down to the bay, as it has been a few weeks since. This entrance to the Greenway is a bit steeper...

    Anyone converted their Turbo Vado to tubeless tires?

    That's what I'm talkin' about! When I delivered my first ebike to my friend/new owner, I showed him a small piece of metal (about the circumference of a paper clip) I had pulled out of the front tire that morning after cleaning everything and inspecting the tires. He now is also a tubeless...

    Anyone converted their Turbo Vado to tubeless tires?

    When I first got an ebike in 2018 I got 3 flats in 4 months. All were blackberry thorns. I was running the stock bike with tubes. I immediately went tubeless as both my rims and tires were tubeless ready. I haven't had a flat since, so almost 8 years and two different bikes trouble free! Hmmm...

    Lady cyclist killed in Davis involving juvenile on ebike...on the bike path.

    Understood. I shall do some research... And... if and when I ride down to your house I shall remember to wear them there...
