    2022 Vado range estimate not accurate. Help

    I plan on trying this feature and the heart rate monitor mode in the future. I am just disappointed that a $5000 ebike can’t give even a slightly accurate mileage estimate to empty. When the bike was turned on it showed 34 miles range and that never increased the entire ride. Since I rode...

    2022 Vado range estimate not accurate. Help

    Allant+ 8S Nyon and DI2 Upgrade?

    I am not sure why we I would need to go to drop bars. Shimano offers DI2 shifting in MTB XT and XTR. From what I understand I just need the shifter, derailleur, and interface box. I just would like to verify that with someone to make sure there are not any pitfalls I may be missing.

    Looking for a Commuter/Paved Trail Recommendation

    That’s one of the issues. None of these are in stock and all have to be ordered at LBS. I have a Turbo Levo so I do have a sense how that motor behaves.
