    2020 Turbo Vado 3.0: Four-Month Update

    Can someone share where the cadence values are accessed? I don't see this on the Mission Control app. Thank you....

    2020 Turbo Vado 3.0: Four-Month Update

    Seatpost is next! I’m leaning towards that Kinetic. First I need to stop spending money :)

    This is great feedback on the cadence. I never really considered this. I will give it a try!

    2020 Turbo Vado 3.0: Four-Month Update

    Hey guys! Thought I'd drop in with a follow-up after a few months owning this Vado 3.0. Let me just say, when I bought the bike back in February, I had a pretty good idea it was going to be one of the better things I ever did for myself. But I had no idea it would end up a kind of life...

    2020 Turbo Vado - Early Impressions!

    I'll second that opinion - so far my longest ride is about 20 miles, and on a full charge there's maybe 55 or 60% battery left. No issues. I feel like 40 miles is doable - although I have not done it yet, to be honest. But 20 miles is a good bike ride for me! For the record, I love my 3.0 - it...

    2020 Turbo Vado - Early Impressions!

    Hey guys - well, it's been about two weeks since I started this thread, and the only issue I've run into so far is the NJ winter - it has been COLD. Every time the temp gets above 45F, I am on this bike. I love, love, love this thing. Ridden sixty miles total so far, and if it would just...

    Buying from local store vs ordering online

    I will say that I really struggled with the same dilemma. And I was very tempted by some of the online e-bikes, because the cost savings are significant, and there are lots of posts on Facebook, here, and Reddit about people who love them. (You also see a good number of people with problems -...

    2020 Turbo Vado - Early Impressions!

    Well said. The way I look at it is that the 3.0 is the "value" option - good, solid components at a "reasonable" price (if $2700 is reasonable). The 4.0 and higher take a good bike and turn it into a really good one. As someone just starting out, the 3.0 serves my purpose well - rides great...

    2020 Turbo Vado - Early Impressions!

    Yes, fenders - photos attached. It's a stock bike, just like the website, $2700, no negotiating :) Here's a few pics from the weekend.

    2020 Turbo Vado - Early Impressions!

    Rick53 - can confirm, 2020 Vado 3.0 in the US is Class 3. Picture attached. Went for a ride today, got it up to 26, working hard to do it though, in the next to highest gear - however, in a strong (and cold!) wind. Might need to tweak some settings in the Mission Control app down the road. For...

    2020 Turbo Vado - Early Impressions!

    That's great info, RR - and thanks for it! Hope April comes quickly. BTW, I did in fact remove the front wheel to get it the car....still, it wasn't easy. Will be getting a hitch rack for sure. Enjoy.

    Also, Rick - what is the add on you mention? Is that for bikes with fenders? Thanks again....

    2020 Turbo Vado - Early Impressions!

    Well, after months of research, much of it at this awesome site, I took the plunge and bought a 2020 Specialized Turbo Vado 3.0. Picked it up over the weekend. And wow - I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. All I want to do is ride this bike. Two rides this weekend, 17 miles...

    Question: Do Vado's Include the Turbo Connect Display (TCD)

    Following up on my original post - I called the LBS where I'll be purchasing and confirmed that YES the 2020 Vado 3.0 in the US does include the Turbo Connect Display (TCD). So, all good! Thanks for the great info guys. I put a down payment on the sucker - so I will keep everyone apprised of my...
