I’ve had mine since September, if I remember, when you see the code you have to confirm with either the plus or minus button, don’t remember which one , it should be on the bike screen,then it will show the serial number of your bike, then it will pair,

Also these are available in all sizes Specialized turbo Vado 3.0. 2500usd

That’s correct the Ford 10 speed automatic will out run the straight shift , they have removed the torque converter slip ,slowly getting that way

If your in Canada you might look at the Zen Saral, a little above your goal, well equipped 29er 500w hub

That would probably not be good, since the Automatiq is near twice the price of the manual shift. I would not think that anyone who rides the SL like you would really like this hub… and you’re right this bike’s primary use would be road and light trails, even though I have stretched the limits a...

Not really, on the Automatiq you simply get on the bike and enjoy the ride, what I’ve been doing since last September is disproving absolutely false statements about this hub made on the forum, , not trying to promote one over the other. This bike works great for me, but I do understand it’s not...

The cadence works with the wheel speed, it will no shift up until the wheel speed increases. I have been on trails with hills and sand, nothing technical. Stefan, I’m not saying this bike could compete, just trying to give info on my experiences with the bike, maybe it will help someone looking...

Yea I know, it’s a old man thing, hind sight I think when I was young I’d been better off hanging around with the stepthru bikes,the girls smelled better

Wait, that’s him on my bike, how’d that happen?

Actually it does Stefan,I have watched the ratio screen it downshifts as you slow and when you stop it goes to the lowest ratio, this also works when you top a hill, even coasting downhill the Automatiq will go to the highest ratio without pedaling, also if your go off-road it will shift to the...

Wow Stefan, we at least got you thinking about it, before we know it you’ll be talking about a throttle (not) …. I’ve been on trails with hills and sand, I couldn’t possibly change gears faster than the automatiq can, I just put it in higher assist and it does the rest, but I do understand your...

I would have to strongly disagree with you, the guys on this forum are good cyclists, more knowledgeable and experienced than I am, they had real issues and it’s well documented, although I have had no issues with mine. I’ve often wondered why Specialized would not do the calibration while they...

Not sure about the Nm but they use the Automatiq, of course number of bikes sold by Specialized would be many times the Series 1

Sometimes I think Specialized could have put less technology in the beginning at least, it’s my understanding the the Enviolo technology for their hub like the Series 1 works well, don’t seem to hear as many complaints on them

I’ve had my Vado 5.0 IGH since September 22, if you are riding a steady slow speed you would need to lower your eco percentage in micro tune when I’m on crowded rail trails I set it to 10/75… otherwise just hop on and ride ,95% of the time it’s in the right gear, look at my previous posts, I...

Have you tried starting in sport mode? Or even turbo. The Brose 36 volt system is very smooth, I have done this several times when I needed the boost with the right pedal on top on my bike

I have the Specialized Vado 5.0 IGH it’s my SUV…. Great bike. I ordered one of Ravi’s Zen Photons, looking forward to it, it will be my sport ride. I’m 70 and loving life… got a problem with that? Too bad

Sorry about the double photos, I am in a low phone reception and it did not look like they were downloading. With all due respect Stefan I’m 70 and not likely to be racing anywhere, except maybe to the next restaurant……. I noticed yesterday that you cannot change gears faster than the auto shift...

Really? Today I did a ride on Cumberland Island off the coast of Georgia, the last time I was there I had a 1x12 cassette, there are many places there where the sand can bet 1-2 inches deep, when I got to these areas I would have to downshift quickly or I would not make it on the bike, today on...
