While I ALWAY back mine and my wife's Vado and Como into the garage after a ride, I've never had a chain drop doing so. However, there have been times (not too many) when I heard some odd noise doing so. I attribute it to what gear it's in while backing it up. The lowest (gear 1) makes no noise...

If anyone is looking, I have one that is up in the classifieds https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/specialized-turbo-user-interface-vado-or-como-tcd-w-display-retrofit-kit-s199900067.53001/

Changes were done prior to fitting. So may the "fitter" was not 'fit'?

COMO VADO TCD WITH DISPLAY RETROFIT KIT - REPLACE YOUR BLOKS DISPLAY!! TCD-W & Battery Nest Exchange Brand new, never used, everything included as provided by Specialized to retrofit BLOKS to TCD-w conversion set for Vado/Como I purchased a Vado and thought that I might need this but did not.

Thanks for you insight. However, the purpose of my initial modification(s) to change the handlebars to a more swept back position was that I suffered tremendously with wrist pain and shoulder pain (with OEM handlebars + stem). I additionally raised the stem with the Kinekt Suspension Stem 100mm...

As a followup, the LBS manage wrote back to me this morning: "I reached out to my BDM (brand development manager) who has the new globe, and he is having the same experience. He was in the store, and we set his bike up with the same issue. No matter how we adjust the distance and elevation it...

Mine used to work, as discussed, as well as my wife's Como, used to work. The both bikes seem crippled when using Smart Control. Odd thing is the LBS manager tried it on a few bikes on the sales floor, has the same result, minimal involved assistance, semi-crippled. The other thing is the...

I did a bike "fit" and paid handsomely for it a year ago on 2 bikes. I have chamois padded under garment(s). I tried the Ergon saddle Stefan suggested today, OK for 10 miles, we'll see as it goes forward.

Nope, why are these any different?

There is no magic bullet. I cannot find the perfect companion for my riding pleasure. I may have to consider giving up the sport, it remains painful to ride and not to say expensive.

Not sure what that means?

OK, here is the odd thing. PRIOR to my bike getting the control and display swapped out, I HAD the latest firmware for everything. My wife's Como did not have any firmware updates for almost a year (2 or 3 behind). SHE experienced the very same thing just PRIOR to my experiences as well as when...

So yes, I had a Wahaoo Tickr paired previously which still showed as a connected bluetooth device in Mission Control. I dis-associated, unpaired it. Still, Smart Control shows a 10% assistance. Screenshots attached.

So, sharing this with the LBS, they referenced the following screenshot Not 100% sure what may have changed since the firmware update, etc., but I'll un-pair and repair my Wahoo Tickr and report back tomorrow. My only concern is that I choose DISTANCE, not HEART RATE, so I do not see the relevance

Last week, the LBS swapped out the handlebar remote & screen (they say it's the 'package' and has to be done as a set), as it was intermittently inoperative, mostly during cold weather. (see: https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/handlebar-remote-on-2022-vado-como.51315/ ) They ordered...

Stefan, I've got a stupid question...how do you get the Varia to display on the Wahoo Bolt?

On Wednesday this week I went to the LBS to get a component replaced on my Vado. While there, I took a Tero X (6.0) for a ride to kill some time while they were doing the repair. I have to say, it is a very, very impressive bike. In a heartbeat, I might consider one IF I hit the lotto this...

Good luck.

re: "Resale of ebikes is concerning", I recently saw a 2021Vado SL 5.0 for $2,195 with 10 miles on it. ( https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/6233007700068615/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A44807224-0619-438c-a9b4-97f0172c6e9b ) I have to...

Exactly. I notice the very same thing after I wax my car :)
