Thanks Stefan. Sounds like it will work. Just don’t see the point of having separate battery operated lights on the handlebars when the bike has its own huge built in battery!

Hi guys I have a first Gen Vado 4 and really want to replace the built in front light for a much better one. I’ve seen a Lezyne light that I’ve attached the compatibility chart for. Is one of the Brose systems mentioned for the Gen 1 Vado? Thanks!

Posted this a few years back but seeing if there are any new ways to de-restrict a Vado these days?

Really interesting to see the new Vado although the motor torque does seem down on the existing Vado. I’m in a very happy place with my current Vado 4 so I hope they release a nice higher capacity battery for it so I can keep it a bit longer. Unlikely as they’ll want me to buy the new one. Belt...

A week ago my App said there was a software update available that needed to be done at a dealer. So I booked to visit the dealer today and the App then told me this morning that everything was already up to date. Dealer plugged it in anyway and confirmed that all the latest software was on...

Must admit I’m getting a bit nervous that my warranty will soon run out. Anyone heard of extended warranties for eBikes? I know the frame is lifetime warranty but it’s the rest of it that concerns me. My shop told me today that Specialized give 30% off new bikes for customers who’s old bikes are...

As far as I’m concerned, dishwashers and electric toothbrushes are also cheating. Or maybe like eBikes they are just a better way of doing things! The adventures I’ve had and the miles I’ve covered I just could not have done on a normal bicycle. Also a Vado 4 in Scotland by the way!

It can’t be pot metal. There is a worldwide shortage as Mercedes Benz bought it all.

Oh, it’s now reappeared! 🤨

Whilst I understand what you are all saying, the actual bike itself has said “not in stock” on Specialized UKs website for years. But it’s still there. So why has the replacement battery vanished entirely from the accessories list? Most of the accessories probably aren’t currently available but...

No issues with the 2nd bike yet. Hopefully they have beefed up the frame. Cover nice and easy to get off.

Is this what you mean? Did it on both my Vados. Although since the recent software update it’s now a different message which I can’t remember. Turning the bike off and on again seems to clear it 99% of the time.

That’s not good. I would like to check mine. Is it easy to get the cover off?

Was originally wanting to ask any fellow users if they upgraded their batteries from the 500wh to the 600wh and was it worth it. Then I just noticed that the battery isn’t even listed on Specialized UKs website any more. Has the plug been pulled on the Turbo Vado range?

Beat the queues. £900 off price new!! Current model Specialized Turbo Vado 4.0 eBike available now! This is the very latest and current model Turbo Vado 4.0 in Large frame size as shown on the Specialized UK website. For those of you interested in tech specs, facts and figures, there is no...

I happened to screenshot the eBike accessories page last year and noticed that they have put up all the prices on the accessories too. Only good thing is this will hopefully help me sell my Vado 4 due to the price and lack of availability of new ones.

Oh well. My interest in Cube was short lived. My local shop is an official supplier of them and they emailed their Cube contact in Germany today to be told that the entire 2021 SL and SLTs are completely sold out!

Thanks everyone. It is especially hard to differentiate between the SL and the SLT. For a £600 difference you seem to get a fancier 3rd party seatpost and a slightly different model number of Shimano chain etc. It seems like the SL is the star of the range, it even comes with the very top of the...

😂

I’m looking to change eBikes and I am extremely impressed with the looks and spec of the Kathmandu range. There is no “compare model” option on the website and so many models. Any tips how to compare the range without opening half a dozen pages and getting a migrane? The SLT 625 looks a great...
