Current Vado/Tero motors

[AvalancheRun]

Vado 3.0/Tero 3.0: Specialized 2.0E, 50Nm torque, custom tuned motor, 250W nominal
Vado 4.0/Tero 4.0: Specialized 2.0, 70Nm torque, custom tuned motor, 250W nominal
Vado 5.0/Tero 5.0/Tero 6.0 Specialized 2.2, 90Nm torque, custom tuned motor, 250W nominal

Are these all the same motor? I know the torque numbers are actually higher on the two lesser motors. Differences in noise?

I see also that the Tero 4.0X page says it's the 2.0E motor, whereas the Tero 4.0 page says 2.0. Must be a mistake.

Tero X ebikes are numbered +1. So Tero X 4 is a Tero 3 and Tero X 6 is a Tero 5.

Vado 3.0/Tero 3.0: Specialized 2.0E, 50Nm torque, custom tuned motor, 250W nominal
Vado 4.0/Tero 4.0: Specialized 2.0, 70Nm torque, custom tuned motor, 250W nominal
Vado 5.0/Tero 5.0/Tero 6.0 Specialized 2.2, 90Nm torque, custom tuned motor, 250W nominal

Real figures:
2.0E: 430 W or 68 Nm
2.0: 470 W or 75 Nm
2.2: 565 W or 90 Nm.
Each of them has also a different max Boost Factor, which is 4x for the 2.2.

Not the same motors.

Thanks for clearing that up

Ok, so my primary concern is noise level. I remember a Tero X 4.0, Vado 4.0, and Vado 5.0 as being completely fine.
Tested a Vado 3.0 today and it seemed a bit louder from the others.

Anyone know if this is true?

I tested a Tero 3.0 with the same motor and it seemed to be a little noisy at a low speed in a quiet environment. But when I rode a Tero X 4.0 (the same motor), I rode it fast and did not pay attention to any noise.

My Vado 3IGH is a little louder than my Tero X5 and my wife’s Vado 4. It’s not much louder but is noticeable, not annoying, though.

Good to hear you and Stefan both noticed this too!

Are the Vado 4.0 and Tero X5 any different noise-wise?

Not that I've noticed. They're the same motor and are very quiet relative to other brands.
