In the US market, that bike (Vado SL 5 EQ) is now $4750. It was $4500 before the price increase. Mine is Black & Blue and is a great bike. A few weeks ago when I was in my LBS, they still had one in a large. If it's still there, I don't know if they have changed the price tag on it.
Take a look at the other 1,000 conversions... not just a corner case.
I test rode the Vado 5 Sl as well as the Vado 4 and a Como 4 . All 3 bikes are great . However the Sl when you get into the higher speeds does beat your body up more . Plus I felt at just shy of 6'1" it was a small feeling bike . I picked up the Vado 4 for under 3000.00 . I'm glad I went that way. Especially when I take the shortcut thru a small wooded 2 track. The bike gives you a feeling of stability . I would have waited for a Vado 5 but was told none were in sight for quite awhile . I know the head guy at the LBS. So I speak to him at least once every 2-3 weeks . 6 Months after getting My Vado 4 Still no word on the Vado 5 . Although he has continued to get ordered SL's in . At least 1 sometimes 2 a month .
Interesting. So you repair packs? Or?
Vado SL e-bikes are still available at Specialized Warsaw. I think the price is the result of the currency exchange rates. I'm worried: I won't buy the SL before I demo ride it, and that's not possible now because of weather. If I wait though, someone else can buy these bikes out.
Actually, it could be easily handled- the Fossil Fuel industry will not give up. When "Nukes" were coming of age the FF industry ran as much disinformation as possible, even endorsing PVs( not pulling your leg its true)
This idea won’t really help, but having gone from a Cannondale Adventure 1 to the Vado SL 4 I can give set a reasonable expectation. The Vado SL with Eco or Zero assist the ride feels very much the same as the Cannondale. Eco assist deals with the weight difference but the SL is pretty easy to ride without assist on. (With power off there is a small amount of resistance from the motor.)
Having been a citizen of Clark County Nevada I'm very familiar with the "screw Nevada" project for storing power plant waste. I don't see the solutions as easy.
The Vado SL 5.0 EQ is priced at $6800 Cdn. and is as rare as hen’s teeth. For $800 Cdn less you can get yourself a plain jane SL 5.0.
Like I told Tom that he ran away from : Nuclear waste is 90% URAINIUM Re-usable over and over
Well, I will qualify my following statement first by saying I dislike recumbent bikes.
It's reusable with some processing, but is is simply economically unfeasible. Hence, they just bury it.
where did you get that news . My son in law works at a plant . What you're saying I've never heard . Are you talking about the waste or the uranium which is the majority of teh waste . Which is what they process in the first place. What you said come up in Google research that I see. Could you post that for me. THere's nothing to bury . Almost everything is just re-used . So I have no idea where you got such info . So please post it . Since you can google Nuclear waste and confirm what I said . What you are saying is I'm wrong . So then is google also wrong ?
Yeah I would agree . And when I said the cost of Covid and over the top spending by world govts has forced inflation . My guess would be some companies purchased parts at an older price . Thus haven't increased prices yet . If you haven't noticed there's a certain group of people in the forum that love to argue with whatever I say. Even though I've yet to see one that actually has any facts . If I say left they say right etc. They can't stand hearing facts would be my guess. Which is why your thread was highjacked : Sorry ;
