    Looking for pic of 22 Vado 4.0 or 5.0 with no fenders or rack

    Ha ha, sorry for the delayed reply, but I needed to go get my ladder to get back on my “high horse” ;) Here’s my definition of “logical thinker”...Cody asks for pictures of a 2022 Vado without fenders…here’s where “logic” comes in…pay attention! No pictures available, so next closest thing...

    Looking for pic of 22 Vado 4.0 or 5.0 with no fenders or rack

    Don't worry...you nailed it with the pics. Some people have reading comprehension issues and have to take every thread down the rabbit hole. The logical thinkers got it and didn't need to be corrected on the specs and differences between the two models :mad:

    @GuruUno...forgive my ignorance, I am new to e-bikes. But do you think all of your error issues were related to the IGH drivetrain? In other words, if you had the chain driven version...would you still have these in the stable?
