No experience with those, but I like that the 3 has a clip in the back. I have a bumpboxx pager that I get tons of mileage out of just because of the clip (and I like the novelty of the design.) I can clip that guy on anything, it’s super handy above the “dangling” design of some ot the...

PM me your email and I will send you the file. -The connectors for front and rear lights are at the power button on the top tube. You can disconnect them there, but it’s a bit of a chore to chase them all the way out. If you don’t care about preserving the wire, you can just cut it. The wire...

Thule apex xt. This photo was to remind me how to fit them all back together after this ride! (There's a Vado SL hiding up front.) It fits all five family bikes on the back of my small Buick, four shown above. The platform racks look amazing, and way easier than the finessing that is required...

Gently pry here: And here Alternate to rock it fore and aft.

I miscounted when I said four motor bolts, it looks like six. Three here: and three here: The top motor bolt on the drive side is blocked by the chainring, so I took it off with the yellow bolts. The moving crank arms will get out of the way. The ring will rotate and come off over the right...

Unfortunately no, the connector on that wire is 3-4 feet away from the light itself. You could try cutting it and shrink wrap the splice. Bummer about that seatpost, those caught my eye too.

Hi there! Flip the whole thing over and it’s just four bolts that hold on the chainring and four more on the motor. (The ring is in the way of one motor bolt.) I did it with a set of Allen wrenches, it looked daunting but was pretty simple.

The connections for the lights are all at the switch on the top tube. I had to pull that switch (t10 or t15, I think) and disconnect the wires then pull them through the tubes. The taillight was initially installed by threading from the motor cover, up the down tube, up the head tube, and into...

Correct, the rack and fenders are a package deal. I could have lived with the rack… The light got moved to under the saddle, I made a bracket an ran the wires up through the seat tube. Here are a couple photos: https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/vado-sl-eq-taillight-relocation.37528/

SL 4.0 EQ because it’s all the shops had! I took the fenders off almost immediately and relocated the rear light. I liked the built-in lights even if they’re not the brightest, I always have them and it’s one less thing to remember to charge. I bought the TCD, feeling a bit sour I had to...

Absolutely! https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/vado-sl-eq-taillight-relocation.37528/ I made a bracket, but it wouldn’t be hard to just tape/wire the light up to the seat rails.

I found a out-of-state Spec dealer willing to ship me one of the last year’s models. He told me Spec doesn’t allow shipping (at least from current models) to protect local dealers. Shrug. So I got the bike I wanted and the local shop services it without hard feelings since they couldn’t get it...

Lol, I gotta get rid of that COVID weight above the saddle first!

16 days from China to Michigan, not bad. It seems much more sturdy than the oe part.

I wanted to share with you the bracket I 3D printed to move the fender mounted taillight under the saddle rails. I had to remove the motor, battery, and fork to route the wires. That sounded scarier than it actually was, only hand tools needed and it was done by myself without much trouble!

I am willing to send you the factory rack and fenders I took off my EQ model. I kept the taillight, but the rest is yours for shipping fees + a little beer money.

Race Face “ride” pedals are almost identical, but have molded nubs instead of metal spikes.

My headlight mount also broke, it looks like a weak plastic part. The Lezyne stem mounts on their website spurred me to find something similar. Search “GoPro stem mount” and more sturdy-looking mounts can be found. Some with computer mounts too. I ordered a simple one from China, will update in...

I have an SL, my wife has a regular Vado. I am very much a fan of my bike’s lighter weight, hers can be a bit much to move around and get off of a rack. She likes the extra assist her motor offers. The SL is noticeably louder too. I bought the EQ model and wound up taking the fenders off. This...
