    Pedal Input Turbo Vado 4.0

    All, just took delivery of a 2021 Specialized Turbo Vado and was wondering what the most effective pedal style is. It seems to come on more at differnt pedal input like grinding with a lot of torque vs spinning at a higher RPM. I thought I read something here of maybe on Specialized website the...

    2021 Turbo Vado 4.0 Fenders and Lights

    The Vado SL has the seat post/saddle configuration for the tail light and the normal Vado has it mounted on the fender. I agree with Voltman99 this should be able to be disconnected and sealed up and be able to re-connect at a later time if needed. I don't need the rack or the fenders so that is...

    2021 Turbo Vado 4.0 Fenders and Lights

    I am purchasing a 21 Turbo Vado 4.0 and it has fenders on it. I will not need fenders or lights in my riding applications and it will not fit my Kuat rack with the front fender on. Can I remove these? I noticed that the rear tail light is incorporated into the fender by the photos. Can this be...

    Mission Control and Heart Rates

    OK everyone, help me out with a brief understanding. Through my reading I have a simple assumption, please let me know if this is correct. I currently wear a Garmin HRM, did I read that it can connect with the Mission Control and I can set the assist to come on when I exceed a certain heart...

    Houston Commuter Bike (15 miles one way)

    Perhaps I wasn't clear in my last post. The bike I prefer is the Vado SL, not the standard Vado, there is a difference. PedalUma who answered the first question stated with a photo that they ride Vados on climbs everyday. The photo included shows a standard Vado and I was verifying that, because...

    Houston Commuter Bike (15 miles one way)

    I am considering the SL model, I don't really need any extras for it since I am using it for work outs. Is this the Vado you are speaking of? Also when climbing how is battery consumption? I want to use this for fitness to translate to my Moots gravel bikes

    Houston Commuter Bike (15 miles one way)

    How does the Vado do with climbing steep hills? I am looking at this for fitness purposes and not commuting. Some of the hills in my community and local can be long and steep. I want to makes sure my future ebike has the power to pull this.

    I appreciate your answer WattaUpDude, this is what I like about forums. What do you have now? The Yamaha Cross Core looks really nice, does anyone have that and does it do well in hills? The pitch on the hills here where I live are much like some of them in SF Bay area only the altitude is higher.

    I live at 6000 ft, not climbing 6000 ft most accents are 500-800 ft in the community but most of the roads are steep. My big concern with the cheaper ebikes is that they will not have the power to take us up the hills with pedal assist. Both of us are in our early 60's and raced both MTB and...

    Hello, been doing research about a week now and pretty much know what I am looking for but am troubled by the selections I am currently finding available in the US. This is what I am looking for. 1. 35 mile battery minimum. 2. No suspension. 3. No racks and added weight accessories. 4. 20-25...
