found them at river city bicycles a portland boutique bike store. but their idea of test riding a bike is riding around the parking lot.
You made me interested. I went in serial.eu portal to find out there is only a tiny collection of technical data (a single web page for all four models!) and a Dealer Locator. The next dealers are in Czech Republic and Slovakia. Meanwhile, Poland is full of Specialized stores with many superior models, often at lower price than these offered by Serial 1. And you can demo ride a Spec e-bike for a day.found them at river city bicycles a portland boutique bike store. but their idea of test riding a bike is riding around the parking lot.
they carry specialized (sure thats why they have these) but with only parking lot riding what's the point? not sure if I would buy such a new bike till all the bigs are reviewed.You made me interested.

I really don't want to bash Serial 1 e-bikes but what's the point to buy a Brose motor e-bike with generic electronics if you can get a Brose motor e-bike with premium electronics cheaper or at the same price?they carry specialized (sure thats why they have these) but with only parking lot riding what's the point? not sure if I would buy such a new bike till all the bigs are reviewed.

FYI, Serial 1 Rush/CTY costs EUR5300, and the Specialized Vado 5.0 2022 is EUR5200 (similar motor and battery size).
Well, if you compare apples to apples, the Specialized e-bike with Enviolo AutomatiQ and belt drive is EUR6300cause ht has the name on it? no clue.
