To answer your question - my replacement bike is a 2021 VADO 5. I think I prefer the ride of my previous Vado 6 more -- it just felt more 'sporty' -- but I still only have a few dozen miles on the new bike and getting used to it. Also, after 18 months of hibernation the rider isn't the same...

I have a Vado 6 -- I started to notice a looseness in the crankshaft/motor - removed the guard and saw that the frame had snapped. I'm starting the warranty process with my dealer now. For the record, I didn't do any off-roading or anything 'hard' on this bike -- just an essential commuter on...
