    Turbo vado sl 4 - lock battery in off position?

    Im guessing not but is there an easy way to tell? the receipt just says a tcu and they didnt give me anything to go with it but it doesn't seem to have a lot of extra stuff on it like an altimeter.

    Turbo vado sl 4 - lock battery in off position?

    I just bought a turbo vado sl 4 and the LBS mentioned there was a way to lock the battery in off position when not using it so if someone stole it, at least they couldn't speed away at 28 mph. I didn't ask for details, figuring it was in the manual, but didn't see it mentioned anywhere. Is...

    Advice for lightweight bike

    Sort of a light green. Not my color. Pretty much every other bike in the store had great colors. This was more like a puke green to me but it rides really nicely.

    Advice for lightweight bike

    I just bought a turbo Vado sl4 step through. They didn’t have them anywhere in small and weren’t going to get them in until next April. On a whim I called another LBS and they happened to have one even though the specialized website didn’t note it (maybe why it was still here?) It was between...

    Advice for lightweight bike

    Thanks all. You’ve given me stuff to think about. The Vado sl 4 is out of stock at the moment. Tha van moof I think would be great for bouncing around town but I’d like to be able to ride like a regular bike as well. Haven’t ruled out getting the cheaper aventon soltera for now and trying again...

    Advice for lightweight bike

    Thanks. Yes initially I was really hoping for a class 2 but since low weight is more important to me than the throttle I adjusted my requirements to include class 1 (don’t need the speed of class 3). My current ebike handles the weight well when moving but having to lift it up is getting to be...

    Advice for lightweight bike

    Hi all. Suggestions for a lightweight (around 40 lb or less) class 1 or 2 for < 3k? I want to use it for biking so want some gears. Just need help on hills due to knees. Am on the smaller side. I’ve had a great and peppy class two for years but 58 lb so looking to shed weight. Have read about...

    Speedometer way off

    I hope you got it resolved. In my case the display had been programmed wrong and they sent me a new one which works perfectly. I'd suggest you ask them if it's still an issue. I found em customer service was excellent. Good luck!

    New 015 easy motion street with display calibration issues?

    Yes thx. Both issues have been resolved. The throttle was disconnected inside under the battery where it attaches to head to the rear wheel (they had sent a new throttle and that didn't work either. Then they sent the store the wiring configuration and had them check it out and they found...

    em street display not accurate for mileage?

    Thx but is that how to get the km to miles... to change the tire size? The size is set on6 which is right. The display is reporting distances and speeds which equate to km.

    em street display not accurate for mileage?

    I just got the street and am having the same issue. It seems to be giving the equivalent of kilometers even though it says miles. I wonder if some were European models and set for kilometers.mif so is there a way to change it? Or how to adjust by tire size?

    Easy Motion Display Panel Instructions Manual Video Overview

    How do you change from km to miles? While it says it's calculating moles, the distance is actually km as I know how far I'm going. Same with mph. Odd. The wheel size is correct.

    New 015 easy motion street with display calibration issues?

    hi folks. I bought the em street online two weeks ago with a great deal and a local shop set it up. The first problem was the throttle doesn't sit work and we're waiting on a replacement to arrive, but it's still usable in pedal assist. I've noticed that when I bike, it seems to tell me I've...

    Help deciding on and sizing an ebike

    Many thanks to you both. This is very helpful. I will double check re jet and throttle but I'm almost positive. I'm also wondering about waiting on 2017 models as I could try those locally. But hard to pass on half off. Just not local.
