Hey all, so I finally placed on order for a 22T cog to replace the 24T cog on my 2022 Turbo Vado 5.0 IGH. In case it every helps anyone, I ordered part number CT1122VMN, and it was $95.95 USD shipped within the United States. I actually live in Canada, but couldn't easily locate one within...

The app has never worked well for me. Starting with the previous app, then moving to the new one when they released it, I would almost always have to start and restart the bike and app several times to get it to connect. Things actually got a little bit better over the last few weeks, but for...

Hey all, I've had my 2022 Turbo Vado 5.0 IGH for about 2.5 years. Six months ago or so, I noticed a loud clicking noise that seemed to come from the back wheel area. It occurred while biking up a steep hill just a minute or so after starting up the bike (coming out of an underground parking...

Hey all, I have problems nearly every time I try to connect the Specialized app to my bike (2022 Turbo Vado 5.0 IGH). Essentially, the app will not connect to the bike, and I need to power off and on the bike multiple times to get it to connect. This happens in basically every time I try to...

Hey all, I've had my Turbo Vado 5.0 IGH for almost two years now. The Mission Control app worked flawlessly for me. The new Specialized app worked well for a bit, but several months ago I started having occasional connection problems, where the app wouldn't connect to the bike. It's gotten...

Hey all, I started using the Specialized app when it was first released several months ago. Some time after using it, I got a message in "service" section that there was a one-year checkup service due last October, but it's listed as optional. There is no way to clear it or anything, which is...

I'm going to put some new pedals on my Turbo Vado. Does anyone know what the torque specs are for the pedals? The closest thing I can find in the manual is for the crank arm, and that is 50 nM. Not sure if that applies also to the pedals? Thanks for any help!

Hi all, I'm looking to replace the stock pedals that came on my Turbo Vado 5.0. They are ok I guess, but the flat grip tape design doesn't always work the best especially in our wet Vancouver winters. Does anyone have any recommendations for pedals? I have Bontrager Line Elite MTB Pedals on...

Recently I noticed that my TCU isn't saving my cadence setting when I power off the bike. For example, if I set the cadence to Slower, power off the bike, and restart, the cadence returns to Standard. I'm pretty sure that it used to save my cadence setting between rides. Is anyone else...

Hey all, I had my bike in for a brake job and had to remove an Ortleib that I haven't removed in 1700 km. I noticed that the clamps that hold the bag on the rack have worn through the powder coating, all the way down to bare metal. Is this anything to worry about? I'm not sure it this is...

Hi all, I've been commuting daily on my 2022 Turbo Vado 5.0 IGH since I purchased it last October. One thing I've noticed is that the brakes are very loud and annoying on this bike. For example, if there is any sign of wetness outside, the brakes will squeal extremely loud when using then...

I've recently installed the PearTune MSO Tuning e-bike Specialized 2.0E/2.1/2.2 (https://www.pear-control.com/peartune-mso-tuning-elektrokola-specialized-2-1-2-2) on my 2022 Turbo Vado 5.0 IGH, and wanted to share some information about my experience that I hope will help others who install this...

Hi, I've recently received two "radar error check app" errors on my 2022 Vado 5.0 IGH. This happened yesterday and today on my commute to work. It was raining both days, but I live in Vancouver and it rains frequently, and this is the first time I have received the error. (Actually, it may...

Hi, I'm going to install PearTune on my 2022 Vado 5.0 IGH. Does anyone know if I should turn the wrench counterclockwise or clockwise to remove the left-hand side crank arm? I've found conflicting information about this. Sorry for the dumb question!

Hi all, I live in Vancouver and commute to work year-round, including our very rainy winters. I just got my Vado 5.0 IGH three months ago, and we've had an abnormally dry autumn, but the rains have started in the last week or so, and I've noticed that my front brake starts to rub quite loudly...

Hi, I have a Vado 5.0 IGH. I live in Canada and am limited to 32 kmh, but the motor was designed to operate at higher speeds (in the US for example) so I can't see how installing PearTune to achieve the US speeds would damage the motor. I am considering installing a PearTune, but I don't want to...

Hey all, this morning I had a notification that my bike required a firmware update that had to be done at the dealer. I thought firmware updates could be done by the owner these days? Does anyone know if this is possible, or do I really have to bring it to the dealer? Also, anyone know where...

Where does the speed restriction occur in the Vado 5.0? Does this occur in the motor, or in the TCU? I'm in Canada and limited to 20 mph, am interested in derestricting for use on a private track. I'm wondering if I could just purchase a TCU from the US and replace mine. would that...

Hi, sometimes when I use Eco mode on my 2022 Turbo Vado 5.0 IGH, the motor seems to be a bit louder and I can feel slight vibrations that seem to be coming from the motor or hub or something. I seem to recall some others have made mentions of "gear grinding", and I am wondering if what I'm...

Hi, the bottom bracket on my Ortlieb back-roller panniers doesn't fit well onto the Vado rack, because the Vado rack is flared out at the bottom, so the bottom bracket on the pannier can't be tightened to be flush with the pannier as it's supposed to be. As a result, the bracket is pushed out...
