    Turbo Lock no longer option

    Just updated to the “new” black Specialized App from the old red Mission Control. My bike and ride history etc have transfered and diagnostic is showing all ok but when I go in to Lock it says contact a Specialized Retailer to update. This is a royal PITA as I do not have any local. Is it not...

    Turbo Vado not switching on

    I think this was it. Not sure if this is possible but I had left a phone cable plugged in to the display over winter. Maybe it got wet and allowed the display battery to slowly drain. I put battery pack on as per TSB for 20 mins and the display switched on. On a short ride the motor and...

    Turbo Vado not switching on

    Tried to turn on my 2022 Turbo Vado today after storage in garage over winter. Nothing. Nada! Took battery out and it indicated charge on the test button. Replaced and plugged in to charger again. Brief glimmer from screen then nothing. Unplugged charger and plugged in again. This time I could...

    Turbo Vado Front Rack

    So I finally got the rack and installed it but it was more difficult than I envisaged. Didn’t help that Specialized provide zero instructions with the rack. I have a Vado 5. Firstly I found removing the head tube plate a pain - fiddling around with the hex key until it engaged on the bolt took...

    Turbo Vado Front Rack

    Pretty poor of Specialized to design the mount etc in to the head tube but not provide enough slack in the light cable!

    Turbo Vado Front Rack

    Thanks for the clarification. Makes sense. I have a 5 so may be lucky. Now if Fjallraven bring out a nice bag for it we would be sorted!

    Turbo Vado Front Rack

    I’m confused now because the rack in Sargon’s pic looks different to the one in Axis’ pic. Looks like if you have a Vado 5 then the light will not need moving as it’s mounted on the forks.

    Anybody fitted and used one yet? Looks bigger than I anticipated. Not yet showing as stock here in U.K.

    Turbo Vado Kickstand too long

    The kickstand on the wife's 2022 Turbo Vado is too long resulting in the bike being too upright and unstable when deployed. It consists of a plastic section approx 5" long on the end but no "foot" as such. I am wondering if it is possible to simply cut 1/2" or so off this as it appears to be...

    Turbo Vado Front Rack

    Has anybody had any further news on availability of the 2022 Turbo Vado front rack? Last I heard was a cryptic "later 2022" from Specialized

    Difference in motors

    Grade would typically have sections of 20% and a few hairpins over a couple of km but with total climb along the stretch of, say, 300m over 7/8km.

    Difference in motors

    Thanks for the reply. I could actually give up some off-road chops of a Tero and go for a Varo 5 which would also get me the rack/guards etc I need for errands / car journey replacement etc. Recreationally we do forest fire roads and ghillie (deer stalking) tracks in Scotland which occasionally...

    Difference in motors

    Looking at the new '22 Tero I noticed the 4.0 has a 2.1 motor @ 70Nm and the 5.0 has 2.2 motor @ 90Nm. I thought the Specialized "2.x" motors were all new Brose S line which were all rated to 90Nm but 70Nm seems to refer to the Brose T line which Specialized calls "1.x". I'm confused as to...
