Not sure why or what this is, but my buddy got stranded today on his Vado 4.0, any ideas?

OK, today was another experiment. Set out for 22 pre-set Smart ride, stopped for a few items at the store, came back to bike, it was kicked out of Smart mode and in ECO. OK, I THOUGHT, NOT A BIG WHOOP, I'LL DO A MANUAL ECO/SMART/TURBO RIDE. Well, all 3 modes were dead cement, no assistance...

Never tried those. Mastermind it is. Thats no joy 😩 I may have the no joystick at one time. btw, you see the new ecvt motors for e-bikes on YouTube?

I only on a very few occasions ever set elevation, or for that matter any other setting(s), and ALWAYS every time I go for a ride, I ALWAYS just set Smart Control as to the expectation of the total distance of the ride +5 miles. On rare occasions I set it to +10 miles for the expected ride. I...

Whew! At least I can now cancel my psychotherapy appointments. I thought it was me only. Further analysis indicates to me that if you set the parameter/distance (and that item only, as I always do), once you reach the set parameter (say 35 miles for a 'Smart' ride), if your battery percentage...

RE: "The simple facts are: Handlebar height determines how much weight is on you hands and butt and overall front end grip. Grips and backsweeps control how that weight is distributed thru your hands" So, what is being said (??) is that you have to carefully equal the distribution of weight...

My issue occurred again a few times since last posting(s), so I thought I'd clarify a few items. Prior to starting out on a ride, I always select my anticipated distance and add 5 miles. Usually 30-35 is the selected total. I set no other items, such as how much remaining battery, etc. I ride...

I would like to advise that I think Stephan (from Poland) should be the honorary top notch adviser for stuff with the Vado as his expertise is far exceeding the mothership (Specialized) and is extremely helpful in many situations. I love you dude. :)

Well, without creating a flurry of comments, let me just say that as one of the very 1st owner(s) of 2 IGH's the month they were release (check back in the forums here to read the discussions), and the hell I had to go through, the most inconsiderate customer support, the horrible way I was...

Yamaha Agrees with Brose to Purchase Ebike Drive Business https://www.ebike24.com/blog/ebike-brose-yamaha-sale

I did a 23/24 mi. ride with no issues today. But, as previously referenced, it's odd that I have the experiences I referenced. Thanks for your input.

Yes, the Specialized App (the newer replacement issued not the old Orange Mission Control app, the new black 'Specialized' app). I reworded to post to reflect the Specialized app referenced.

I'll attempt to summarize. Planned a ride, set the Specialized app control to 35-mile expected distance, left all other setting as is, never really care about remaining battery, elevation, etc., just set it and forget it. Worked as advertised, been using since I learned that I preferred it over...

Still the same setup. Really no negatives or anything worse, only better. Dealer got me OEM Como handlebars, and exact duplicate ones are 3rd party available. I'd have to look at my notes to provide any info as to which items I used. No cable swaps were needed. It to me, is a perfect...

Looks good, thoughts? https://www.ebike24.com/blog/charge2bike-universal-ebike-charging-socket

Anyone see/hear about anything 'new' in the e-bike arena of Specialized (Vado 4x)???????

OK, picked up the Como today from the LBS, he tells me that when I put on my kickstand, I pinched the wires for the BROSE SPEED SENSOR CABLE (V2), 650MM LENGTH. I out that kickstand on almost 2 years ago, odd how it happened. Anyway, $20 part, all fixed.

Dropped off the bike at the LBS on Tuesday, they 'think' it is a damaged/broken speed sensor wire. One is on order. (the wire that goes to the sensor on the rear wheel/frame that gets its signals from the magnets attached to the rear rotor) To me, the oddity is that although the MasterMind...

Specialized 2022 MasterMind Turbo Connect / Control Unit is newer than the older referenced type you mention. There is no battery in it. It works, it displays, it shows eveything it is supposed to show, and it functions with the exception of the "modes" (ECO/SPORT/TURBO) as well as SMART I...

My wife and I went for a ride today and after a 32 mile ride with 53% remaining her bike died with no assistance whatsoever. Upon returning the bicycle to the car, I inspected it and could find nothing to validate the reasoning as to why there was no assistance in Eco sport or turbo. When...
