    Hm ok, so a Como SL won't give me a good idea of what a Vado SL feels like then? I can try a Vado SL 4.0 EQ in a few weeks in Atlanta, but not sure if it is worth waiting? The Auburn store (about an hour away) will have the step-through and the regular Vado in the 4.0 put together probably by...

    Hey Dave! So why the SL over the regular Vado? The shop that we go to about an hour away has ordered a Como SL 4.0, a Vado 4.0 and a Vado 4.0 Step-thru. I've already tried (albeit briefly) their Como 3.0IGH. I've also borrowed a Velotric Discover from a local bike guy for a week. The Velotric...

    So tell me about the SL over the regular Vado. Is there a noticeable difference in power? I got a few minutes on a Como 3.0 IGH at a bike store in the town over, and the ride was pretty nice. They have ordered a Como SL 4.0 and are putting it together this week, along with a Vado 4.0 and a Vado...

    Yes, this is not what I am looking for :) I am fine spending 2-3 hours in the saddle-- I do currently (I am s.l.o.w. 😄. Like 6-8mph). I just want a way to speed up a bit and be able to ride further in those 3 hours. I've borrowed a Velotric Discover for a week, and the zooming about isn't what...

    After trying out a rear hub, I am not sure that the cheaper bikes are going to give me what I am looking for. It was fun, but not very much like riding a bike. I still want a bit of exercise. The store about an hour away that carries Specialized is supposed to get several bikes put together this...

    Trevor, I've ridden a Velotric Discover since posting this, and while it was fun, it wasn't really like riding a bike. Not what I am looking for. I've gotten to ride a Como 3.0 IGH for a very short period of time (bike shop in a town about an hour away, the bike wasn't charged so by the time it...

    So this may be a bit sad but I am slow :) Like 6-8mph slow on anything over 5 miles. The 30-mile ride that I have done took about 3.5 hours, the 15s are around 2 (which I do every couple of months) so I am used to the saddle time, pedaling the whole way. The Roll doesn't allow for a lot of...

    Hey all! My husband rides a lower-end Specialized Diverge, which is a little unusual for someone who bikes over 20 miles daily and 40-60 a day on weekends. He's fairly slow for a cyclist who rides centuries regularly-- his normal speed is around 14mph. The Diverge is considered a gravel bike...
