I hear ya - will try to test ride some as the belt drive and ugh is really appealing for about a million different reasons…

Fantastic input! Thanks much I really appreciate it and it’s super helpful! And have you been happy with the gazelle? How many miles have you put on it?

Thanks appreciate it. I know the Zen owner is on here a lot and a lot of people on here buy them, I’m just a bit skeptical as it seems on the high end of kickstarter-y…just a spidey sense feeling I guess…

Good stuff, thanks! Had that suspicion about the motor but hadn’t seen it in black and white on the noise, appreciate it! Am also vaguely looking at a used specialized turbo 5.0 igh for $3700 but it’s got over 2k miles on it…and we all like new things, eh?

Yeah I am definitely leaning toward the Prodigy. Like the light blue/green color as well. I think the Gazelle is cheekily referring to if you get a second battery added, which is another grand I think. Anyway, very much appreciate your thoughts, thanks!

Sorry, Gazelle is here: https://www.gazellebikes.com/en-us/gazelle-ultimate-c380plus-hmb

Help! Was all set to buy a Ride1Up Prodigy V2 CVT (https://ride1up.com/product/prodigy-v2/) for $2700 and then just saw that Gazelle has the 380+ on sale for $3500. So - is it worth the extra cash for the Gazelle? My bike is my primary commute vehicle for a 14 mile round trip in Washington...

Hey all - anyone heard anything about a new release of a new version of Turbo Vado 5.0? Saw a post from back in February saying they were told by a dealer it would be in June and....it's June...anyone heard/seen anything?

yikes - not till fall! Thanks, appreciate the info!

Yeah totally - the worst are false promises...

I asked them and the rep I spoke with said he had "learned never to make promises until the ship was on its way..." that was probably 2 weeks ago, so....who knows...

Hahaha, well that's good to hear....no that there's anything wrong with that. And yeah I've looked at the Atlas - as you mention it's been out of stock for awhile. I'm not sure that it's worth it - $4100 for the bike with the base battery, and then another $700 or $800 for the extra battery...

Thanks! I hear you on the issues you list, and also wish there was a bigger battery option but figure that's also priced where it's at. But also why I'd love to hear from some 'real' folks who have the bike on their review. And thanks for the photon rec - I'm pretty meh on the idea of a...

Hey all - I'm looking at buying a Prodigy V2 Belt CVT and would appreciate any input/review from anyone who has one. I've seen a number of V1 reviews and Sefutau2020's great review of the chain version, but was wondering how the belt drive and CVT are performing for folks. Thanks!

Awesome, thanks much for the info! Love the sea-blue/green color too!

Thanks for the writeup! I think I've almost decided to get the belt drive V2 (welcome anyone's input/review of that as well!). But had a question about the rear rack that's standard on the Prodigy V2 - it looks a little funky in terms of the setup - have you had any issues attaching panniers...

Yeah now that is clean.

Hard pass

You sure it's not your charger?

If this are the only options you’ve got to go with the specialized. By far the most for your money.
