Is there such a thing? I have one, its a BMW supplied charger but is for my standard Vado with the magnetic Rosenburger plug and socket. I was wondering if there is one available for the Vado SL.

My sister and brother in law have Vado 3s but they're not on this forum. He has done over 10,000 miles and my sister is not far behind. They have had no major problems other than replacing consumables, tyres, break pads, chains etc.

My brother in law has a Vado 3 and has reached 10,000 miles but he can't figure out how to reset the odometer back to zero. Specialized told him to take the battery out of the display and replace it but it still reads 9999. His bike has a TCD-W display.

Thankyou so much. I can't believe it was that simple and more to the point, how I missed it in the first place. Even the dude at Specialized I emailed, didn't know about it.

My DIY Vado stand

My wife has a 2019 Como and I have a 2020 Vado 3. The equipment spec seems identical on both, the only difference is the riding position. The Como is more upright and "arm chair" like. Where as the Vado riding position is more forward. I would choose the Como for a gentle potter around leafy...

Its hard to say, all depends on terrain, wind, what kind of ride I'm doing, a tootle with my lady, a ride for excercise giving it some or how lazy I'm feeling. I've always had plenty battery left after a 2 hour ride, assuming it was fully charged before leaving.

I'm in my late 60s, retired and own a 2020 Vado 3.0. Its my second one, a foc replacement for my previous faulty 2017 Vado 3. I absolutely love it, I dont go huge distances and tend to stick to dirt tracks and forest trails although its just as home on tarmac. As I usually only ride 1-2 hrs...

Is it possible to prevent my Android phone from sleeping when Mission Control is opened? The only way I can achieve it at the moment is to change my screen sleep time from 5 mins to never, then change it back after my ride. I've tried a couple of apps which are supposed to achieve this but no...

I've always had bikes with no mud guards / fenders, or if they did have them, I removed them. It made the bikes look sportier in my youthful eyes. Now I am several decades older, I realize how good the fenders/mud guards on my Vado are. In fact they are excellent at keeping both me and the...

Quick update. The Lamicall hadelbar phone holder arrived today and I'm very pleased with it . Its good points… It doesn't rely on a sticky pad to mount it. Its very well made. It wasn't expensive £13.59 Its very easy to mount/unmount. It holds my phone (and most others, I would assume)...

Thanks for all your recommendations/suggestions folks. After an awful lot of reserch I've ordered a Lamicall Bike Phone Holder - Universal. It appears to be well made and designed, fits handelbars or stem, fits most phones and most importantly, doesn't rely on double sided sticky tape to...

I think a stem bolt mounting would interfere/obscure the bikes display.

I'm looking to buy a handlebar mount for my phone, its a Huawei Mate 9 on my 2020 Vado 3. The one I'm contemplating is the Quad Lock but it relies on a sticky pad on the back of my phone case to provide a secure attatchment, which I'm not 100% happy about. Any recommendations would be greatly...

I changed the handelbars on my 2020 Vado with ones similar to the Como. They raise the height an inch or two but more importantly for me, they also rake back a few degrees too. I find the rake back a lot more comfortable for my old arthritic wrists. No problems getting the cables to reach either.

Well, I've just had an email back from Specialized advising they will replace my bike with a 2020 Vado 3, FOC as a sign of goodwill. I was totally gobsmacked considering it was bought by me second hand and the warranty had expired. Good on Specialized, I say, what a fantastic result.

Ive just removed the motor to get a better idea of what is required to repair the frame. The nut adjacent to the fracture was finger tight and the other two were about finger tight plus 1/4 turn. It would appear Specialized need to get a grip with their torque settings, especially the motor...

"I would check with Specialized first to see if they will consider a good-will repair." My last LBS were extremely unhelpful as soon as they found out I wasn't the original purchaser. It was as if I'd rocked up with a Trek and asked them to fix it under warranty. I've moved house since, so I...

Ive just had the motor covers off my 2017 Vado 3 to carry out a deep clean, to discover the bottom motor mount is cracked. No evidence of creaking but a strange feeling through the crank when I stopped peddling, which has been occurring on and of for the last 2-300 miles. Nothing major enough...

Good suggestion, will try direct to Specialized thanks
