Peter, it has been a while since I looked at the difference in the fit between those two models, but I know that I had to use the top mounting holes on the 4750X and they were almost too far apart. If I remember correctly, my 2022 Turbo Vado 4.0 mounting holes are 92mm apart on center. The...

The Abus Amparo 4750X Frame/Wheel Lock will fit the 2022 Specialized Turbo Vados, but they are hard to find in the USA. I just ordered a pair of them for our Vado 4.0's and hopefully they will be here next week. One retailer claims they will have more stock in December 2022. @GuruUno purchased...

Thanks @GuruUno, that's what I was afraid of. I was just hoping this latest version would be the exception to the rule. I'll submit it to Specialized Support and see how many weeks it takes to get a response. While I'm waiting I'll read through the similar threads... I just submitted my...

My wife and I went for a 2 hour ride today. At the end of the ride, both of our Mission Control (3.2 on IOS) apps failed to update our ride stats. I first saw a message saying that Mission Control could not update because there was no internet (even though there was) and that it would proceed...

@GuruUno, did you watch the bike shop when they removed the stem from your 2022 Turbo Vado? I was curious as to whether it would be possible to add another spacer to increase the rise on the handlebars. The user manual does not cover handlebar adjustment (except for torque settings) and I am a...

MJones5, I hope you enjoy commuting with your new bike. I've done a little research on panniers but haven't bought anything yet. You should check a related link to DarrenM's thread on Vado panniers...

DSGamer, I ride a 2022 Vado 4.0 with the medium-sized, standard frame and my wife has the 4.0 step thru. I'm going to agree with Stefan and the others who recommend the 5.0 model for you. I weigh about 235 lbs. I have not had the opportunity to test ride a 5.0 , but believe that the 4 piston...

For the 2022 Turbo Vado (big), I found the CAD drawings for the ABUS 4750X frame lock. According to an e-mailed response from Specialized, this model has the correct dimensions to fit the 2022 Turbo Vado frame and rear wheel. Trying to find anyone who will admit to stocking one of these units is...

Hi Ibw, I just saw your post today when it showed up for me as a 'similar thread'. Did you ever get your 'Specialized' questions answered? You would definitely get a response from someone if you posted under the Specialized forum.

Welcome to the club WIVado and thanks for the picture. Looks like a beautiful place to ride. We got my wife's red Vado 4.0 in Omaha and after waiting 3 months decided to order my white Vado 4.0 direct from Specialized.

Marci, the 2022 Turbo Vado does come with a basic seat post suspension. Did yours? I'm going to test the factory seat post thoroughly before considering an upgrade to one of the more sophisticated and expensive models. I picked up my new bike on Tuesday and got the mirrors and water bottle...

Loose gravel on a hard surface is one of my concerns. I don't have enough experience with different tires to know what works best in that situation. I assume you would want a more open tread to allow the loose gravel to be thrown out safely.

Onimaru, Your family will be traveling in style! Question about your cafe bike locks. My wife and I are also new owners of Vados and locks are something we haven't purchased yet. Can you tell me specifically which model of lock you have? Also, were you were able to get them keyed to match your...

@LovinEbike, I've just started looking at these helmets as well, but it seems that as of April 2022 the R2's are hard to find. Are your speakers in the helmet or in the straps? I was a little confused by the follow up comment by @6zfshdb. Apparently the R1 Evo's are still in stock though.

Thank you very much, Stefan. Tire replacement isn't my highest priority right now and I agree that it would be best if I held off. The only thing I don't like so far about the Vado is that it doesn't inspire confidence in cornering on pavement like my analog road bike. I find myself hitting the...

Hello, A quick introduction... My wife became the owner of a new 2022 Turbo Vado 4.0 (big) this winter and I have mine on order direct from Specialized (being shipped now). These are our first experiences with e-bikes and we hope to get a lot of use out of them as we travel in our retirement...
