    Replace busted rear light on Vado SL4.0?

    My rear light got sheared off so I ordered a replacement from Amazon (Lezyne, E-Bike Rear Fender, Light, Black https://a.co/d/495xQ0Q) but cannot see how to connect it to the existing bike wiring harness as it looks like the wires disappear into the battery compartment (I say appears as wiring...

    Hooray for New Bike Day: Vado 4.0 2022

    I just picked up a 2022 Vado 4.0 and the new tailwind bags. I spent the last year on a 3.0 Como and put 1000 miles on it. Now that covid has waned and I can commute to the office again (60-mile round trip) I decided to upgrade. Really impressed with this bike and going from class 1 (420...

    Topeak TETRARACK M1 for 2021 Specialized Turbo vado 4.0 step through.

    I am trying to find a front rack for my Vado ebike. I tried the Thule Pack and Pedal which didn't fit well with the fork. I tried the Topeak TETRARACK R1 which wasn't wide enough and didn't fit well with front light above fender. Has anyone tried the Topeak TETRARACK M1 (made for front...

    2022 Vado Radar Mounting Options

    Just purchased a 2022 Vado 4.0. Love it. I already had a Garmin radar from my road bike. Does anyone know how to attach it to the back of the rack like the 5.0 models? Vertical mounts available via Shapeways to replace the rear reflector under the light are probably going to cause the radar to...

    Vado 4.0 fenders - expectations too high?

    I took delivery of my Vado 4.0 step-through yesterday and it’s great. I’ve never ridden for 5 miles at a time before, and this will definitely achieve my goal of getting me out more. But to my question. I cycled on a canal tow path (UK) this afternoon and it was pretty wet with many deep...

    New Vado 4.0 Cadence Creak

    If my Vado were old and this were a recurrence, I'd call it Cadence Creak Revival. [Hold for laughter.] But on ... day three of my Vado's gentle break-in period (well, my break in period), I noticed a cadence-matched creaking coming from the ... motor? crankset? I don't know. LBS (Specialized...

    Hello from Novato, CA

    Hi: I just got my Specialized Vado 4.0 a week or so ago, took advantage of the discount + rebate. I am extremely happy with it! I have upgraded a few things, saddle, seat post and the grips and added a small handle mirror. Thinking of either installing Mr. Tuffy Bicycle Tire Liners or replacing...

    What’s Up??? From Southern Illinois

    Hello all. Been on the forum for about a week while awaiting delivery of my 2020 Vado 4.0 in Carbon/Black/Liquid Silver. She finally arrived the other day and I am more than happy with her so far. Took her for a simple 7.5 mile initial shakedown ride to tweak the seat height/position as well...
