When putting Como bars on a Vado do all the brake and shifter lines reach, or do they have to be replaced?

Looking at the KMC site, the only ebike chains I see are both 126 links. I to am looking for a spare chain for my Vado 5.0 for when the inevitable comes.

Interesting item. I ordered then got my Vado 5 almost 3 weeks ago and was told it was a 2020. Today I registered it on mission control and it came up as a 2021.

Finally at home! Not even 1 mile yet. Have to wait until tomorrow morning to ride (already 90 degrees at 9:30). When they delivered it clock was set correctly and latest firmware was downloaded. They gave me a card suggesting 40lbs In the trigger tires. I’m 200lbs so I already put 60lbs in them...

The tail light is mounted on the rear fender.

Just a quick question if anyone knows. I FINALLY got my Vado 5 delivered today. They say it’s a 2020. My question is my headlight is attached to the fender, but I see most Vado 5s seem to be on the handlebars. Does anybody know why it’s one or the other?

I’ve looked into this before. Look at the Vado/Como users section and go to page 70 I believe. Essentially as far as I can tell they are basically equal as far as hill climbing ability. I have a Vado 5.0 ordered because there were other items it came with that I liked. One thing was the better...

Thank you Stefan. Now I have an explanation that I understand!

Just a few more questions folks; 1- when I pick up my Vado 5.0 hopefully next week I know I will check a few things A- have them take battery in and out a few times to make sure it locks in B- I’m going to go into mission control while at the dealer to make sure I can C- ask if all the firmware...

How do you folks support your Vado while fixing a flat out on the road? I’m out where there really are no trees or benches to prop the bike up on.

My new Vado 5.0 should be ready early next week if all goes well. I ride where there is lots of thorns. I have no problem changing tires and tubes before I take delivery. I understand nothings perfect, but are there significantly better choices right off the bat? And would they be the same size...

Thank you for your direction and information folks. I ordered a Vado 5.0 today. They said about a week until it comes in (Pennsylvania to Utah). I originally was going to get a Como 4.0 until I got on this forum. Reading all the information convinced me to go for the Vado. I had been riding a...

I did realize that the Rocket Red would be faster. I was going to take my new Vado and have it painted Mopar “Plum Crazy”. But then thought about all the weight the paint would add!😊

Great breakdown! Thank you. I think I was off, according to what I was looking at the Vado actually has 15nm more torque than the Vado 4.0. But even if it has it would seem the climbing ability is essentially the same between them. So if this is true it would seem that what the 5.0 gets you over...

Easy question for the knowledgeable folks on this forum. Which bike would be better at climbing fairly steep hills on pavement? Vado 5.0 11-42 11 speed 48 chainring 10 more nm torque Or Vado 4.0 11-42 10 speed 40 chainring 10 less nm of torque It seems like it’s a question of gearing vs...

My dealer in the USA told me that about a week ago Specialized extended its warranty on electronics and battery to 4 years. I can’t find anything to verify this, has anybody else heard or read this?

Any idea when the 2021 Vado is coming out? When the new bikes come out does Specialized generally discount the leftovers?

Looking to get first ebike. Had a hip replacement so don’t want to push quite as hard as I use to. I’m looking at either the Como or Vado. Where I ride there are rather long stretches of uphill roads and some hills that are very steep but relatively short. (I’m in sw Utah). About 30 miles would...
