Hello everyone, I have a problem regarding the 13s2p battery for the SPECIALIZED VADO SL (SBC-B15) bicycle. I accidentally shorted the battery pins. I checked the cells, the voltages of each one are OK, the entire package is 53V, but the TCU does not see the batteries (the e-bike cannot be...

Hi all, I've got a new Turbo Vado 4 (last one stolen) and am trying to remove the left-side crank to instal a chip. I've removed the 8mm hex bolt, and from memory that's all that is required... can anyone confirm if there are more steps or that's it and the arm just needs to be "coaxed" off...

I'm new to the ebike world, looking for a relatively lightweight ride to give just a little more oomph to my speed on mixed-use urban roads, and add some fun to my errand runs. Background / use: My "analog" bike is a 1980s touring Trek with very aggressive geometry and razor-thin tires. I...

As the title says - I'm pretty damn small. 151 cm, so around 5'0 - inseam around 25''? This means I *really* should be an S. However the dealers are sold out for months, and I found an M today at a store and got the step-through in M. I test-rode a Tero (the only S they had in the store) and it...

I'd like to do a multi-day cycling trip with my Turbo Vado (2020 model I think), so I'll need to charge the battery overnight. I imagine most places are not going to have outdoor e-bike charging points, so the battery will have to come inside and the bike might have to stay outside...

I’m considering a 2022 Turbo Levo Expert, but just can’t swallow the idea of paying full price for a 2022 when the 2023‘s could be out any time (Spec and others). I know of several dealers that have been sitting on S2 sizes that haven’t moved, and I was considering throwing out a price if 10k...

Hi, newby here. I have purchased a Turbo Vado SL and, when getting riding kit ready, notice that I don’t really know what tools I require to remove the wheels. Any ideas please?

How the heck do I ship a spare e-bike battery??? Just the battery, no bike. It is a 480Wh Lithium Ion battery for a Specialized Turbo Vado. Unfortunately, the local FedEx and UPS stores said they are unable to pack it up for me. It is being shipped domestically. So it can go via ground...

TLDR at the bottom. I'm new here. I live in a hilly area which has always limited the distance I rode my current road bike. I've always wanted to ride to the beach but was concerned that I wouldn't be able to make it back :rolleyes:. I started researching electric road bikes about a week ago. I...
