Tried again today, assist cuts out at the leveling off of a steep hill, feels like braking, it happens many times and is then Ok. No freewheeling. The dealer thinks it is the speed sensor. That they want to replace. Will see.

Hi Jeff, I will try it later today. That seems to make sense. But I wonder why the motor reacts that way. It does not on the original Vado 4.0

100% correct. It slows with the weigh of the bike and me, yes, yes, moment of uncertainly. Continues once I start to pedal. Never happened with my Vado 4.0. Is it normal or is there a problem?

Ras, Test road, yes it cut out, does not turn off. Motor kicks in when I resume peddling. Is this normal? I also have a Vado 4.0 not an SL, it does not do it.

Got it. Will Test again with that awareness.

Hi Ras, Please explain freewheeled? When I understand what that is I could comment. Thanks, Stefan, So warranty claims are for free only at the dealer you bought the bike from. Other dealers could charge you labor. Even if they do warranty work as inspect the battery contact?

My Vado 4.0 SL is two days old. I was riding up a steep hill in Turbo going about 7.5 miles per hour, all is fine, as soon as it leveled off the motor shut off, went back on and shup off again. At this time I was only at 12 miles per hour. Has anyone experienced this. And how can it be fixed...

Mine is a Vado 4.0, l will bring it in for the update, thanks

I set the time on the device and it is accurate, when I shut off the battery and then turn it on the time goes to 12:00? Why? Does it keep time correctly?

I made a mistake it is about $144-$160 at most places for the 6500.

Thanks, Any recommendation in the $150 range? The 6500 is about $400, I think.

FreeWheelie, Call Specialized, they confirmed with me that the 1.2E is a class 1, torque came down from the 2019 motor to 50Nm from 85Nm, with max power to 415w from 520w. E is for Efficient. Most dealers do not know the difference between the 1.2 and the 1.2E, if by chance you want to...

Which locking devise is suggested -Pro's and cons. U shackle , chain, folding, frame, etc?

It would be appropriate if specialized on their web site compared all the motors they use- 1.2 - 1.2E - 1.3 - 2.1 - Torque, Power, etc.

Jim6b, The $3,450 is the 2019 model, the drop in price is for the class 1 motor, they should have called it 2.0 not 3.0. Also, they do not mention the motor was downgraded.

The Vado 3.0 for 2020 has a new motor the 1.2E, it is a Class 1- Max speed is 20 miles per hour. Torque is 50 Nm, Power 415 W. The 1.2 and the 1.2S are the same motors. The price of the 2020 Vado 3.0 was reduced $550.00 from the 2019, that is the reason why. This info is not published by...
