New Lighweight ebikes

[Roadking1]

Looking for lightweight ebike with hidden battery, (looks so much better) has anyone ridden vado sl or Cannondale treadwell neo these too sit upright which is the type my wife and I are looking for. Any help is appreciated.

Hello Roadking1. You won't often find Court holding court here very often. Yes, there is a loooong thread on turbo vado sl and other superlights in the Specialized forum. Welcome.

Hey @Roadking1, @Art Deco is correct! I'm often traveling, filming, editing, programming and don't reply here as much as I'd like. However, I recently covered the Cannoondale Treadwell Neo and Vado SL in depth, so I hope this helps as you consider lightweight products. Here's a category on the site dedicated to lighter ebikes as well.

The Vado SL is more of a flat bar fitness bike; I would not call it upright at all. You would have to ride it to judge for yourself, but I would bet you would strongly prefer the Cannondale's riding position. The Specialized could be made more upright with cockpit modifications; swept and/or riser handlebars, and/or a stem riser. But keep in mind if you want a more upright posture, you would likely need to change the saddle as well, because a more upright position rather dictates a wider and cushier saddle. The Treadwell NEO is also going to win in other comfort aspects in that it has wider and softer-riding tires, and a suspension seatpost.
