Yamaha Agrees with Brose to Purchase Ebike Drive Business https://www.ebike24.com/blog/ebike-brose-yamaha-sale

I'll attempt to summarize. Planned a ride, set the Specialized app control to 35-mile expected distance, left all other setting as is, never really care about remaining battery, elevation, etc., just set it and forget it. Worked as advertised, been using since I learned that I preferred it over...

Anyone see/hear about anything 'new' in the e-bike arena of Specialized (Vado 4x)???????

My wife and I went for a ride today and after a 32 mile ride with 53% remaining her bike died with no assistance whatsoever. Upon returning the bicycle to the car, I inspected it and could find nothing to validate the reasoning as to why there was no assistance in Eco sport or turbo. When...

Most likely Stefan knows....I've got the 2022 Vado 5.0 which I use my Wahoo Bolt V2 on in NJ as well as the Wahoo Kickr in the basement, both use ANT+ w/the phone. Does the 2020 Vado (the Florida bike) I have use ANT+ so I can use the Bolt V2 or do I need to obtain something to put on the wheel...

No simple easy answer, just putting it out there. Whether using an Abus frame lock, an associated auxiliary cable or chain, or an independent next to impossible locking system (it doesn't exist, I know), because the integrated display is a primary system component to turn on the bike, start it...

I've heard this whining noise just about forever (since I've had the bike now about 13 months), and now just approaching the 5,200 mile mark. For comparison, I used my wife's Como 5.0 to compare, and hears is dead silent as to min sounding like a Bosch motor on a Trek. The settings are in Smart...

I've been using for many years the Thule XT 2-bike rack on my cars to transport various e-bikes. However, since the acquisition of my wife's 2022 Como 5.0 and my 2022 Vado 5.0, I have been extremely challenged to find that perfect "sweet spot" to mount the bikes on the XT rack so that they do...

Opinion/Sharing While in Florida this year on my Florida Vado 4.0, I continued to on occasion go to Conte's Bike Shop in Ft. Lauderdale for this, for that, to look, to get, etc. I am on their mailing list, and I got this notice today. Pretty interesting that they are selling used e-bikes at...

AND, they want to charge us more money too! see: https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2023/06/strava-heatmap-loophole-may-reveal-users-home-addresses?utm_source=blueshift&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=b2c_pro_oth_20230619_juneweeklynewsletter_v3_168687149362&utm_content=Location

Wanted to try this, works, only issue is/was that I cannot push it further back for ascetics due to curvature of fender interfering with mounting bracket for plate. Otherwise, pretty neat.

I'll make it short. Doing a test yesterday at a LBS, I paired my phone with an on the floor Vado SL (older firmware). Mission Control allowed and implemented 'Smart Control'. GREAT, I thought, now we know that it might be firmware. HOWEVER, when I arrived home, I figured just the the heck of it...

I had the most absolute, weirdest of ever experienced oddity occur today. Clunk, clunk, clunk, flat tire. Never in my life, ever....

The latest Mission Control application on Apple IOS is v3.17.0 Build 164, released May 11, 2023. As referenced in previous postings, "Smart Control" is no longer functioning. The LBS manager validated this with the reply upon inquiring (on 5/20/23), "I reached out to my BDM (brand development...
