    Mastermind display

    The temps finally got into the 60s, so I took my Vado 4.0 out for a short spin. I turned on the bike and the Mastermind display woke up -- but only partly. The round icon under the "V" in Vado (left side of display, about 1/3 of the way down) was on (green), but the "record ride" box next to...

    Ebike class questions

    I've been enjoying my Vado 4.0. I do NOT like riding 1-2 feet from cars and trucks, so I ride almost exclusively on trails, both paved and gravel. However I just discovered I should have done some better research before I bought ... My city's website says Class 1 and 2 ebikes are allowed on...

    Specialized app

    Hello all, having a few issues with the Specialized app. * Frequently I finish a ride and notice it's no longer recording the ride. Last week I happened to be looking when the app crashed with a "no longer responding" message. Any ideas what might cause that? I'm running on an Android phone...

    Considering a Specialized, got a few questions

    I'm bike shopping. Whoo there is a bewildering array of available options. I'm starting to zero in on Specialized, though Trek is not out of the running yet. I definitely want a mid-drive with torque sensor. Concern: I read a lot of comments saying Specialized's service is crap, while Trek...

    XPremium Q's

    Some questions for XPremium pilots: Does anybody use a suspension post on the XPremium seat? Or is it pointless, since the 4" fatties already soak up most of the bumps? I've heard the power bar is really inaccurate. I think I remember seeing a table that maps Voltage to actual expected...

    Clueless Slime question

    My XPremium comes pre-Slimed. I've never used Slime and I'm not quite sure how to work with it. I don't think "Slimed" = "never have a flat." It avoids some, but not all. So how do you repair it? Won't the Slime leak out of the puncture and goop up the tube & inside the tire? How well does...

    Actual range of XPremium?

    I'm thinking of getting an ebike. I have a 25-yr-old recumbent that I haven't been riding much recently, and I'm 66, so I'm thinking an ebike might be a good answer. The original impetus for this idea is a charity fundraiser ride that I'd like to participate in this summer. 2 days, 150 miles...

    Hub, mid, torque sensor

    I'm looking at ebikes, and I went to Lectric to ride the XP3.0 and XPremium. The XP3.0 felt good, decent handling, but I HATE HATE HATE the cadence sensor on the hub drive. I don't like that it suddenly slams into gear and practically dumps you off the back, and I also don't like that the hub...
