Well, I'm hoping it's that easy....how will it look? Don't really care, just want better access for cleaning lol... but i'm guessing it will look like my Giant ToughRoads...the "Black Widow" ...only 4 less teeth 😜 ....aaaaaaand after all that, she likes the look of the "pant saver" ...even...

My wife hates the "pants protector" on her Vado SL...she is not a city commuter who wears pants...she wears proper cycle gear and changes at work...and 40 of the 60km commute is on gravel, so it gets pretty dusty/mucky faster than most bikes...and I being the "designated" bike maintainer, I find...

Thanks for the feedback.

Lucky you! Nice....now if a gently used one would show up around here it would be great.

Old thread, but still valid. My 2 cents...indicated speed vs actual speed...a discussion amongst motorcyclists and racers for decades. As an avid motorcyclist, (and car owner) I know that wheel diameter will affect indicated speed, as all vehicles speedos are calibrated with the tires they...

Wondering if there are any other non-OEM range booster battery options for the 2022 Vado SL 4.0. From my research, there only seems to be the Specialized offering...for $600.00 CDN after taxes, and being a battery nerd, I know that the $$$ goes into the controllers already built into the Vado...

Specialized are not the greatest at answering questions or suggestions lol. My wife recently purchased a '22 Turbo Vado SL 4.0, and initially loved it totally, but now has found a few niggles. I have the Redshift suspension on my Giant, and am so pleased with it, she wanted it for her Vado. Mine...

Update *tika tika tik* ....still LOVING this bike, have finally figured out that it's not a 1X11 but 1X55...oh so many combos of gears/power levels :^)) Anyhoo, I decided I misses the FutureShock from my Diverge E5 Comp..homework ensued, and ended up ordering the RedShift * I am not paid by them...

Is it just me? or does it appear that Giant went out of their way to ensure no one could mount a Garmin or phone..even went so far as to extend the housing over the top edge of the stem so a stem mount was also canceled....hmmm. Not my model, but still, removable or relocating options would be...

How about dinner?

LOLOL! ...a bigger...garage 😜

Ya, my Diverge has Shimano GRX 810's loved by many, but does not *wow* me...works great, but IS finicky and took several attempt to dial it in...the Apex is so intuitive, slick and reliable...and I really ask a lot of it. Ya, it's fairly level here, so the 48 is a dream. Ah yessssss the parts...

Well, the "Black Widow" had it's first serious road adventure today. Fun fun fun! Every ride, it reminds me why I love SRAM. I can't seem to find a definitive answer as to why mine and other Toughroads have 48T and others 42. But I am SO grateful for the 48 :) I'm learning the mode-to-gear...

Thanks for the feedback Dave. I'm thinking it must be a directional thing ;^/ ...yesterday...same weather, basically the same trail only going in the opposite direction, with a few more hills. 52k vs 61, using eco+ and Normal, with a few sections of brief Sport and Sport+ just to mix it up..2...

Well, yesterdays' ride was my first of any distance over 25k..I rode 61.33k in 2:15:10 and burned 1590 cals. All, except for a 2k paved bit, on mostly level gravel. The battery stats are the most interesting...I started with 100% ,and finished with 27%. A mix of eco/eco+ normal and sport...sport...

Thanks for the feedback Stephan...aaaaand, funny you should mention the Creo lol...when we were researching Ebikes, my wife mentioned that she would love to have an Ebike that was as close to her beloved Sirrus X Carbon as possible...well, research showed the Vado SL 4.0 was almost identical in...

Thanks SO much for all of your thoughtful and encouraging replies :-) Speaking of bike racks, we have a very robust Yakima 2-bike carrier, but rarely use it, as we are fortunate enough to live right next to a trail, that will take us all over the province, but we do plan "bike holidays" up in...

Being new to Ebikes, but having been bicycling since 1960, I have run the gamut from paperboy, long distance riding, amateur MTB racing..at which I sincerely sucked...not a win...ever, loads of DNF's 😆 Anyhoo, in the advent of computed assistance, to keep track of every possible biometric and...
