Thank you.

My ‘23 Turbo Vado 5.0 SL is apparently reporting my speed in km/hr vs mph on my Mastermind TCU. Using Specialized app I selected Imperial vs Metric and the Rides are all recorded in mph. I have been unable to set up the Specialized Mission Control app and suspect to do so I will have to delete...

Am new to Specialized with Turbo Vado 5.0 SL. Am confused by the potential utility of the 3 apps you have listed. For reasons beyond me I can't even log into the Mission Control app, other 2 downloaded and linked up without a hitch. Would greatly appreciate any overview on the various apps.

Found this post: Stephen Simmons Author has 1.5K answers and 1.7M answer views Cyclists measure power in watts. One horsepower equals 745.7 watts. Therefore the math is pretty straightforward. A recreational cyclist on a long ride might average between 150–200 watts, which is about 1/5–1/4 of a...

Got it. Thanks so much. PS-Stefan you are wrong, your legs are undoubtedly stronger than mine. I'm in my mid 70’s. Long steep hills have always been my Achilles' heel and with age have greatly diminished my joy of cycling. This Turbo Vado has turned the clock back 40 years.

My understanding is that the Power setting basically governs the available total wattage of the motor. So had I set Power at 100% in Eco mode I would have had a potential of receiving 240 watts of assistance, but at 35% (240 x 0.35) all I had was the potential of 84 watts; as though I had...

I completed my maiden ride on my Turbo Vado 5.0 SL last evening. It was an 11 mile loop about 75% asphalt and 25% hard pack gravel. Road is hilly with several somewhat challenging longer climbs. I set the 3 modes Support%/Power% at ECO-15/35, SPORT-50/50 and TURBO-100/100. I rode 3/4’s of the...

Stefan, thanks for the quick reply. I don't yet have a Range Extender, but saw a really great price on one from a Specialized dealer over 1000 miles away. I was wondering if I bought one from them would I have to take it to a local dealer for firmware upgrade?

Howie, I’m new to e-bikes, just purchased a 2023 Turbo Vado 5.0 SL. Do I understand your post correctly that if I have the 2,3.10 software I don't need to take my bike to a dealer to be able to fully integrate a Range Extender battery?

Been trying to get this one deleted, but so far no luck. Any suggestion on how I can delete it will be greatly appreciated.

Fantastic! Thanks so very much for the detailed explanation.

I just acquired a 2023 Turbo Vado 5.0 SL. I've been watching YouTubes and reading my manuals and think I’ve finally got some clarity on the difference between SUPPORT and POWER. So here's my current take-The maximum output of the motor is 320 watts which is 0.43 hp and a professional cyclist can...
