I look at the ebike market as similar to the automobile. In it's infancy. Somewhere, somehow, hot rodding ebikes for more power, speed, whatever, I would expect to take place. And maybe it already is, I just don't see it. I think bigger hub motors as replacements would be a start.

Probably same year, como 5. Also have a vado 5 though no issues with it and no adjustments made.

On mine, there was lately a random shutting off, a couple times. Where the battery connects with the bike, the male and female portion, I adjusted the female portion so it would connect with the male portion in a better fitting manner. No more quitting. When installing the battery, it is kind...

Yeah, that's what I suspected, aligns with my thoughts. Thanks.

My brother dug a motorcycle half helmet out of the dumpster. Is that budget enough?

Anybody find the need or desire to change the brake fluid? Believe mine uses mineral oil. Any degradation or what not? The oil is cheap, the parts not so much.

Really liking this kickstand. Well worth the $24 usd.

Re my above posts about the battery, I have not had any problems after I looked at it. I believe expanding the female contacts in the battery that contact the male on the bike have resolved the blackout issue. I did replace the kickstands on the Vado and Como 5. One had the plastic portion...

My como kickstand took a dump. Hauling groceries, guess it couldn't take the heat. The info on this thread helped me find one and order through amazon. Here is a pick of the original and broke piece. If Spec is going to charge top notch prices, they need to use top notch pieces. Hollow...

I've done it. I'd say noticeable to lots.

For straight bees wax, the wax temp has to be just above solidifying temp to prevent voids and do a slow pour. And heating temp is supposed to be non too excessive or it messes up the wax somehow (not my experience, just what Ive read). After it’s all melted I let it cool to 146f and start...

When I first purchased my vado and como about the same time I changed the rotors out for 200mm units. One of the best upgrades along with changing the 48t ring out for the 36t. Thanks for the detailed report. How many miles total?

Those little tires give the sensation of power, and require the larger front chainring to compensate.

I saw somewhere the ships that transport 'stuff' across the oceans spew much more stuff into the atmosphere than vehicles ever will. Maybe targeting the wrong avenue.

Thought it was a no go when the dia was different. Good for your resourcefulness. Another reason to keep the tools, never sell the tools!

Funny how cannabis separates the brain neurons and the person becomes unemotional. Whereas psychedelic mushrooms rewire the neurons for enhanced brain activity. I'd vote for the shrooms.

I've used the thudbuster lt with the brooks b67. Works well. Used a little stiffer rubber than what thudbuster recommends. The thudbuster moves the seat back a little and I didn't like the increased reach or I might still be using that setup.

I just watched a vid on that yesterday. Looks pretty impressive. Makes my 3 or 4 yr old Como and Vado5 look like antiques already.

I did a 50 mile wipe down of my chain after the EP gear oil application to get an idea of how much stuff it was attracting. Didn't notice any real accumulation of dirt though I suppose there was some. I think the thing to do is wipe it down after the application to remove any extra that...

Thanks for that info. Seems mine creak off and on. Just did the first round town 23 miler on the Vado equipped with the B67. No ass issues and I wear cargo pants. Gotta love that seat:)
