Anyone know the weight limits for Vado 4.0?

The user manual says to refer to the owners manual. The owners manual says to refer to the users manual! Does anyone at Specialized or here actually know the recommended weight limit of rider and cargo for a Vado 4.0? Thanks

136 kg or 300 lb is the total weight of the rider and cargo.
At least it reads so in the EU Certificate of Conformity I got with my Speed Vado 5.0.

The attached Appendix to the Owner's Manual incudes weight limits. This was available on the web descriptions for bikes prior to 2020, but it's no longer linked on the 2020 models.

For the Vado 4 the "structural weight limit" for rider and cargo is 300lbs. Cargo is limited to 33lbs. Note that the Racktime racks are stamped with a higher weight limit, 20 or 22Kgs.

That's an extremely interesting document. Also explaining in what terrain specific bikes may or shall not be ridden. Thank you!

Sorry gentlemen. I never did thank you for your very helpful replies. That’s a very interesting document indeed as it doesn’t show a single Spec bike rated higher than 136KGs
I’m shopping for a new bike now and most are minimum 150kgs, up to 170kgs.
Im terrible for taking the kitchen sink with me on long rides so need to know the frame is up to it.
