Guys, I can only assume the production of the Vado SL 1 ended in 2022. My bike was advertised as a 2024 model when I bought it but it's not. As noted on a frame sticker it's actually 2022. Which ties in with what @Jeremy McCreary and @DaDitka have said. Not a big issue, the bike works fine and...

Ah right gotcha, you must have added that while I was writing my reply! :D Annoying! I'm out of suggestions! :(

I deleted my original comment, because I read the thread again after commenting, and thought to myself Jeremy had tried Dark Mode, making my earlier comment irrelevant, but thinking again I'm not so sure... @Jeremy McCreary forgive me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you're looking for the...

It's worth investing in a proper GPS computer. They are quite expensive but you can pick up some good deals on eBay. I bought a new Garmin to record rides on. Still, I used the specialized app a couple of weeks ago and it failed to record the route properly - capturing just a few points I...

5 arm spider! :)

I had the same thoughts as you - should I choose the Vado or Vado SL and after much excellent advice and encouragement from members of this forum, especially @Stefan Mikes and @Jeremy McCreary, I opted for the Vado SL. I've already done over 250 miles on it and can safely say it's a great bike...

We are lucky to have all of these paths and rights of way! It's so second nature to us Brits that it's hard to comprehend how other nations do it. I took the screenshot below from RWGPS, the brown lines are "cycling roads, tracks, and paths with unpaved surfaces" - and it doesn't cover the full...

Cyclists in the UK are worse than drivers. Many ride around like they have a death wish. 😄

Well, that's weird...😄 You're reminding me of a jealous ex-girlfriend... 😅

I couldn't believe it, he whizzed past me and I thought what a git, and then I looked up again and he was on the floor and his bike was skidding down the path... It was covered in wet slippery and decaying leaves and he was covered in dirt after his fall. He jumped back up and as I rode past I...

I don't blame you if I had that on my doorstep I'd do the same! :) Positive news about the bike, I took it for a quick ride earlier and I'm glad to report no issues, it seems to be running fine. The electrical gremlins experienced earlier in the day aren't causing any issues. :D

Not 100% sure what the problem was tbh... The bike wouldn't turn on after repeated attempts. I tried charging it to see if that would kick some life into it - it didn't turn on and wouldn't accept a charge. I plugged the RE into the bike and nothing. Tried the charger again, and again no joy...

You are lucky Jeremy, to us in Europe blighted by horrible weather it looks like you live in what I'd describe as a wonderful holiday destination. I can't say I'm not a teeny bit jealous! :D

Yeah, it does have some extra features for those in North America, but granted, it is good at navigation in Europe, and its stats are probably the best of any site, they're extremely comprehensive! On another note, my Vado SL developed a problem this afternoon. The bike wouldn't turn on. It...

I know you're a fan of RWGPS Stefan and it does have some good features but you don't need to do any of this in Komoot. It'll tell you where they've been and what they've seen. You can then edit the route to include as many or as few, of these highlights as needed. The focus is on these...

True, I have an RWGPS subscription myself (To go with my Strava, Komoot and Trailforks subscriptions! :oops: :D), but it just doesn't compare to Komoot when planning for rides. With Komoot the finding of Points of Interest and sharing of photos are among its most prominent features. You're...

Haha, I started well last week and ended up down the leaderboard! :D I know I'm just a lower to mid-tier rider. When I compare myself to my more athletic work colleagues I pale into insignificance. They can ride 60-100 miles in one ride and do it on a traditional bike! I'd be out of breath after...

Fair enough, but you should seriously consider adding Komoot into the mix! :D I find Komoot excellent. The mileage I do isn't born from competition (I typically ride alone!), but from following routes created by others on Komoot. They find and share good places to ride with interesting things...

Well, that's all rather negative Jeremy. 😁

Bumping this back up the lastest posts list. Get involved people! :D
