    Turbo Vado 5.0 IGH Step-Through

    I didn’t ride very much over the winter. Between work, weather (and, regrettably) not enough motivation, I just didn’t get out like I hoped. But, frankly, it is something that I forgot about. Next time that I ride, I’ll pay attention to it. It certainly hasn’t gotten worse.

    Turbo Vado 5.0 IGH Step-Through

    FWIW, I haven't felt like it kicked in a different times. It feels very smooth and consistent. The only difference is what mode of assist it is in.

    Turbo Vado 5.0 IGH Step-Through

    I posted this on another thread about 2 weeks ago: Went for a ride yesterday and I noticed that there are times when it’s not pedaling as smoothly as it was before yesterday. I’m a bit concerned. It wasn’t constant and it wasn‘t “slipping.” It was move of a vibration or shake. At one point, it...

    Enviolo App changes

    I haven’t used the app, but I’ve only had my bike for a few weeks. Have you used it much? What have you done with it?

    Turbo Vado 5.0 IGH Step-Through

    Ugh. No snow here. Certainly understand the getting winter tires for that. Glad to say that I got the ride in on Sunday. It wasn't far or very long, but it counts as some exercise. Certainly better than sitting on the couch. It was so windy that I couldn't hear much of anything, but there...

    Can't argue with that. After I got my bike, I wished that I had done the same. First couple of rides, I didn't have a bag to carry just a spare tube.

    Turbo Vado 5.0 IGH Step-Through

    That’s a lot of issues. Speaking of issue, I’m having issues getting motivated to go ride. Windchill is in the low 20’s.

    Oh boy. That’s a massive photo. Sorry. Went for a ride yesterday and I noticed that there are times when it’s not pedaling as smoothly as it was before yesterday. I’m a bit concerned. It wasn’t constant and it wasn‘t “slipping.” It was move of a vibration or shake. At one point, it was...

    I tried to come up with a guess and had no clue. Thought that I’d have a guess with a hint and now that I do I’m still struggling. Going to guess Riese & Muller. SWAG.

    Turbo Vado 5.0 IGH Step-Through

    Picked up the bike on Friday and was able to get out on Sunday - between rains - for a decent ride. Well, decent for me anyway. It was about 15 miles of rolling hills. On the way out, I was between ECO and Sport. On the way back, I was from ECO to Turbo. Legs were getting tired, but I...

    Wow! What an experience you had. Have to agree that it's very nice that Specialized offered to refund you for the bike. I wish that you didn't have the experience. Good luck with your search!

    Turbo Vado 5.0 IGH Step-Through

    Received some good news on Friday. I had been checking the Specialized website for confirmation that the bike had shipped - thought that I was supposed to get an email from them and was wondering why it would take a full work week. Decided to call the LBS and they confirmed that it arrived on...
