I recently had a chain split, jam in the rear derailleur, and cause some unknown amount of strain on the drive train. After replacing the chain as well as the rear cassette, I have noticed that the front chain ring will still continue to spin a bit when I stop pedaling and coast. If I am riding...

My 2018 Vado 3.0 has a little Supernova 3 LED light on the rear fender (not the rack). The light was damaged when I picked up a nail via the rear tire and it lodged in the hole in the fender where the wiring connects to the light. Does anyone know how to get a replacement? The light on the bike...

Perhaps, but the bike won't turn on you and kill you - Captive Cassowary kills owner

Thanks for the info!

I have a Turbo Vado 3.0 with the rear light mounted on the fender. Yesterday, I picked up a nail that lodge in the hole where the wires feed into the light from the back. Go figure the likelihood of that occurring! The rear light no longer works. It could be that the nail just severed one of the...

You are killing it Alaskan! I bought an ebike for around-town transportation, particularly commuting. I have a relatively short trip of 3 miles but it is hilly enough that I was often deterred from riding my mountain bike. Plus, when it rains or is really hot, the mountain bike is not optimal...

Douglas, the other bike that I was considering and which I test rode was a Giant Quick E+. That seemed like a great bike too. For me, I wanted to make sure that I had local support so I stayed away from the online-only bikes. The savings on the parking garage for my car (I use a surface lot on...

I have had a Vado 3.0 for 9 months and about 1,000 km. The bike should provide noticeable assist up to at least 25 mph. The only significant criticism of these bikes is that the gearing does not quite match the assist. The 3.0 was designed to be a Class 1 pedelec (15 mph or 25 kmh) for European...

I will be on the lookout. I ride through Five Points each day so there is a chance, though small, that I will see it someday. There are not many ebikes around Columbia yet so it will stick out.

Hi Barbara, I am in Columbia and work at USC. I will be on the lookout. Where precisely was it stolen from?

3 short miles of residential streets for me to get to my university job. The bike gives the very large benefit of being able to cut through campus during "rush" hour and I never get hung up at any of the intersection chokepoints.

I had the same issue although I would describe the noise as a dry creaking like two pieces of lumber rubbing against each other under pressure. Specialized apparently gave my bike shop a couple of quick fixes to try and then threw in the towel. My bike shop was given the option of a new motor or...

My Turbo Vado 3.0 had about 220 miles on it. Early on, it developed a dry creaking noise from the bottom bracket area. It sounded like two pieces of lumber rubbing against each other. The bike was still fully functional, just with an annoying creak. Long story short, Specialized replaced the...
