    BE AWARE-IF YOU WANT TO BUY AN AVENTON

    Well, there is more to the story. Screwed again by Aventon I have an AVENTON, Level 4 ADV, which I purchased earlier in the spring (April 2026) and I had difficulties with where the ECU died and I had to lose the use of the bike for close to a month while the manufacturer went through their...

    Rumors, from the inside

    I cannot divulge the source of the risk of all the things that happen to source leakers. In 6 month, look back and call me a conspiracy theorist or a crystal ball reader.

    Rumors, from the inside

    I hear this on the grapevine, but here in the US, NJ anyway, e-bike sales have plummeted, a 90% drop in sales mostly because of state licensing rules and a lot of bad publicity, which has prompted the info which I was shared 2 days ago that some Specialized dealers will be unloading their...

    Anyone bought a new Turbo Vado 3 X 6.0 yet?

    1st 2 times, noises, clicking, whining, 3rd time same noises started so replaced that one at my expense. My understanding is the newer motors have different internals and may not be subject to some of the repetetive failures associted with the previous Mahle motors. Regardless, I'm the guinea...

    Anyone bought a new Turbo Vado 3 X 6.0 yet?

    Still pushing my 2022 Vado 5.0 with 3rd motor and over 11,000 miles, gave it a break this Spring by obtaining a new Aventon Level 4 ADV to try out because of all the interesting specifications, new stuff, and affordability. Overall, it was a very interesting bike until it wasn't and a new ECU...

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

    If you can upload one clear photo of the underside of a European Vado S license plate bracket (or even a screenshot from a dealer), it migth be identifed the manufacturer and track down the individual part if it exists. In any event, it would be cool with the ever changing US requiremnets, it...

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

    The MY22 service guide does not list the license plate bracket as a separate replacement part. Instead, Specialized lists: S212200011 Description: REAR FENDER, 650B, ALLOY, 65MM WIDTH, W/ HOLES FOR WIRED GARMIN RADAR & LICENSE PLATE HOLDER This is the Vado S (L1e speed-pedelec) rear fender...

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

    Understood what you are saying, but I'm looking to see if the part may have a reference number to have ordered independently of if as you say, it is one complete "package" with rack, radar, etc., (which I'd doubt). Anyway, if anyone has one looking to ditch it or has a Specialized part number?

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

    I'm looking to find a "European" specification fender with provisions for a license plate bracket/placement location, which is absent in the US. Ultimately, I'd also incorporate it (possibly) with my Cycliq rear video cam. The new world we must live in to be compliant.

    Cycliq rear camera (Fly6PRO) on a Turbo Vado/Como 5 with Garmin Radar-where to put?

    Vado/Com rack has light bar, Topeal saddle bag and Garmin OEM radar so that can't work. Thanks for the photo

    Cycliq rear camera (Fly6PRO) on a Turbo Vado/Como 5 with Garmin Radar-where to put?

    Cycliq rear camera (Fly6PRO) on a Turbo Vado/Como 5 with Garmin Radar-where to put?

    The rear rack is already occupied with a bracket for the Garmin Radar (and if it was a v3 or v4 it would be used for a license plate bracket, etc.), I use a Topeak rack bag and an under seat bag for spare tubes/tools, so does Specilaized make a rear license plat mounting bracket for the rear...

    My Experience Registering Three E-Bikes with the New Jersey MVC (First Day of Registration)

    Research AFTER the fact: How the Tax is Handled Based on How You Bought It Bought New from a NJ Bike Shop: If you have the original invoice or receipt showing you paid NJ sales tax at the time of purchase, you will not be charged again. Bought Out-of-State: If you purchased the bike in a state...

    My Experience Registering Three E-Bikes with the New Jersey MVC (First Day of Registration)

    I had ZERO forewarning that there was ANY sales tax to be charged for registering the e-bikes, it was not disclosed prior that registering the bike was going to incur a sales tax. The ONLY item stated on site was that next year was a $15 registration fee, this inital registration fee was waived...
