The Vado batteries all cost about $900, but to buy a bike with a small $900 battery and replace it with a larger $900 would be a waste of money. I would pay $100 extra for a larger battery when I buy a new Specialized Vado 3.0

I wish Specialized offered the option of upgrading the Vado 3.0 and 4.0. So far I've replaced the seat, seat post, front and rear brakes, sprocket, chain and chair guard. Now I have a lot of discarded parts. Also the ability to buy a larger battery would be nice. Replacing the 40t sprocket with...

I luv my Vado 3.0, except for an update on the app. a week after buying the bike, no problems. I did change out the 40 t front sprocket for a 48 t sprocket so that I could maintain desired speeds with less effort. I also changed out the seat for a larger one and added a Shock Stop seat post for...

I agree. The simple solution to maintain 28-30 mph on a Vado 3.0 without high speed peddling is to change out the smaller 40 t sprocket for a 48 t sprocket. This also means you have less peddling at all speeds. I'm 78 years old and this minor change makes riding at all speeds very enjoyable. Not...
