Weird, when I ordered my bike on Jan 20, Spec showed 10+ in stock and the bike arrived the LBS said it would be at their store in 5-7 days and it was.

It's a Turbo Vado SL 2 5.0 step through. Color is called something like deep lake blue matte. It looks blue-green in the picture but just looks blue in real life. Picture was taken about 90 minutes before sunset on a crystal clear day so that probably adds some yellow to the color. Weirdly I...

New Bike Day finally arrived. It only took about ten days from order with LBS to delivery but the weather here in Nashville has been too bad want to bring it home. Today was the first sunny warmish day, 55 degrees but 20-30 mph wind. Just rode it a few miles around the neighborhood. First...

RABH, what beautiful scenery. Making me think of vacationing in Scotland next summer.

Do you agree that "enhanced speed" is probably meters/second? If your "toast" level is 150 watts I'm impressed!

Had one other thought - that maybe the drop off in motor power at the high end of rider power was due to the Class one cut off of 20 mph. Checked the source data and the column labeled "enhanced speed" max value is 6.86. Assuming that's speed in meter/second that translates to 15.3 mph. So no...

Good catch and reassuring that the Specialized published motor specs are accurate.

I Looked up a ride I did on my Como 3.0 last year, one of the few that had much time in Turbo mode. That's the only mode where I know the E/A was set at 100/100 . The 50 minute ride had (after I deleted the zero cadence rows) about 12 minutes in Turbo, 706 data points (706 seconds of records)...

I just found how to use a FIT file viewer download .fit data. I had recorded a few rides on my Como last year so I had something to play with. The .fit file records all the data we care about (and more) once each second. The 45 minute ride I downloaded had 2600 lines! I’m envisioning many...

In the specialized app. The "rides" tab.

You aptly named the image "whoa.jpg". Interesting stuff.

Can you extract the exact data from the .fit file download from the Specialized app?

Curious what you expect the weight to be after adding the "equipment" from your old 5.0.

Stunning scenery. I cam't imagine what a pleasant ride that would be in the late spring.

How did you get this data? I’m envisioning myself audio recording myself reading motor and rider power of the display while I ride. It looks like you were able to capture much more granular data.

Clearly Px is a function of E and Pr. Pedal harder, get more motor power. Increase the ease setting, get more motor power. The Spech data table says nothing about how Px varies with Pr FOR A GIVEN E except we know Px is 0 when Pr is 0 and the table gives Pr and Px at saturation for 10...

The only difference between static (E+M) and dynamic (M=100). is motor power is not artificially capped in the static case so the curves are the same. I bet the slight differences are due to rounding in your calculations. You are assuming row 10 in the spec data table is an error. We just...

Uh huh, I'll go with you.

There were a couple of dozen gators along the road near the lake shore. They all moved off when I got close. Can't say I wasn't nervous though. Intellectually I was fine. If they ate tourists either the tourists or the gators wouldn't be here. My reptilian brain stem said "RUN".
