Sounds like the snip is the way to go!

OK Stefan, a question for you. I think I am going to do pretty much the same thing. how did you disconnect the taillight? Just snip the wire and tape over the end, or did you actually unplug it somewhere in the bottom bracket shell?

As always, good ideas Stefan! Muchas gracias!🤙

Actually my new 2022 Turbo Vado SL 4.0 came with a 40 Tooth wheel and 11-42 11 speed cassette

I had a Turbo Vado 4.0 which was stolen in November. It was my first ebike and it was a fine one. Specialized makes excellent bikes. But I never could get used to almost 70 pounds of bicycle. I spent a lifetime riding road and singlespeed bikes and always valued lightweight and simplicity. the...

Stefan, that should be an amazing climbing setup. Particularly in loose or slippery conditions. now that I have a few miles on my new Turbo Vado SL I am thinking that I would prefer lower gearing since I am not a fast rider either. perhaps I shall go from an 11-42 to an 11-46 cassette to start...

Actually I suspect you are significantly stronger than I! I am a 74 year old retired wonk! butthe SL give me enough juice to get up the hill and I am happy! good lick on your gearing changes!

Picked up my new Turbo Vado SL 4.0 EQ from the Specialized flagship store in Medellin this morning and rode it home. I LOVE IT! Its a much better match for me and what I want and like than the Turbo Vado was. I love the 10 kg weight reduction, and the controls are much simpler…and I am a total...

Got my new Turbo Vado 4.0 SL today. As Stefen warned me, it has considerably less boost than the Turbo Vado. however it rides and handles much more like a conventional road bike, and I really enjoy riding it more than the Turbo Vado. its a better choice for me, and YES, I can make it up the...

I will pick up the new ride on Monday! I am really excited to get riding again! its been since early November and I am very curious to see how I will do.

Its a Black size Large…beggars can’t be choosy…I am pretty sure it was the only/last Turbo Vado SL in stock in Colombia. I would have preferred a 5.0 or the white/sage 4.0. But actually I am just ecstatic that I was able to get ANY Turbo Vado SL in Colombia. Its the first time in almost 2...

So today I ordered a Turbo Vado 4.0 SL EQ from the warehouse. Should be here in Medellin ready to ride on Friday. i can‘t wait! As far as I know, its the last size L they have in stock here in Colombia.

Well, today I got a big surprise! I checked the Specialized Colombia website and they are showing the Turbo Vado SL 4.0 EQ as available! Its the 2022 model. I think this may be what I have been waiting for. the only downside is the battery isnt removeable! Does specialized sell range extender...

Well, I guess its finally time to sh-t or get off the pot! I cannot get a Turbo Vado 4.0 in Colombia now….they are totally out of stock and have been for some time.The Turbo Vado SL is not and never has been available in Colombia.… However, the Turbo Creo is available, and there are some...

They are the “Gump” model. I hope the thief who stole my bike 2 months ago is enjoying them. I really like them!

well Stefan, I love these long distance chats with you! regardless if you are correct or not now, you will certainly be correct in 3 or 4 years when I plan to replace the Turbo Vado…I will be pushing 80 by then!🤣😂🤙

If I replace the wheels with some 650B Roval carbon wheels and Rene Herse tires, all I will have left to complain about will be the suspension fork…I really would prefer a Carbon fork and save the 1.5-2kg of weight

Yes there are some damned steep streets here, above 25% grades aren’t uncommon. However, the Turbo Vado SL is almost 10 kg lighter than my Turbo Vado, and the SL has lower gears than the Turbo Vado. I can get up the grade to my apartment in Sport mode which I suspect would be comparable to the...

Well, awhile back I posted that I had would rather have a Turbo Vado SL. Thats still true, but the Turbo Vado SL is not available in Colombia. So I am doing my best to enjoy all the fine qualities of my Turbo Vado and change a few things around to be more to my liking. I have always ridden...
