Hello,

I recently purchased a Specialized Turbo Vado 4.0 - So far am loving it! I have nothing much to compare it to other than my youtube research and made my decision based off that along with looks.

Either way, I'm loving it and just trying to be part of the ebike community and learn as much as I can..

thanks!
Cap

Thanks!

It's been a little chilly, But so far I have only taken it on the White River Trail - it runs right through my town. There is the 7 waters trail that starts in my town as well. I am indeed looking forward to hitting the many trails between here and Milwaukee. On my old bike though I have done the Elroy-Sparta trail - which is awesome when you go through the tunnels on it. I'm looking forward to doing that one again.
 
Welcome! That is one sweet ride. I also love the looks. More Creo with the oval down tube than past years. If you take the time to add up all the components and the degree of integration or integrity of the new 4.0 Vado it is a value at about $4,000. @Cap, would you be willing to share photos with the group? Did you get the matt silvery bluish grey?
Here is a bike that I finished making electric yesterday, lastly the before photo. We like pictures on EBR.

Hello, Nice Bike.. I will post them asap.. I didn't have any good ones yet.

Majority of EBR Forum owners of Specialized e-bikes ride either a Turbo Vado or a Como. This is natural, as these two major models have been designed for an average cyclist. Turbo Levo and Kenevo are technical ride stuff, discussed on e-MTB fora. Creo is for road cycling fanatics :) It is...

Cap,

Beautiful equipment, great reviews and sleek (everything that I'm not! ). I'm in Madison and am unfamiliar with the white river trail; where is it?

Due to increasing balance issues, i gave up my trek verve+3 ebike in favour of a sun etrike. Quite a change and i miss my upright 2 wheel bikes, but being out is better than languishing at home! I'm always interested in new trails/ rides, so would love yr thoughts on yr regional favourites!

Stay well

Keith

Hello,
Glad to year your still out there regardless of your issues! The white River trail runs from Lake Geneva to Kanasville - its a rails to trails to is pretty straight, crushed gravel. Not terribly exciting, but has some pretty scenery. Burlington splits the trail, so I can either pick the east or west leg and just ride...so it's nice and convenient for me. The Oak Leaf trail north of me is paved and much prettier of a ride in my opinion.
