Hello,
A quick introduction...
My wife became the owner of a new 2022 Turbo Vado 4.0 (big) this winter and I have mine on order direct from Specialized (being shipped now). These are our first experiences with e-bikes and we hope to get a lot of use out of them as we travel in our retirement.
I've enjoyed reading all of the Vado-related threads on this forum and using them to figure out what accessories I want to add. Mirrors have been taken care of (large Hafners) and my next priority will be a pair of good locks. I noticed that the battery locks on our 2022 US models have AXA keys and cylinders, so I'm hoping I can find a cafe or other style lock that can be keyed to match. The pictures of all the AXA locks I looked at online appear to use a different style key, so I am a little worried about that.
I'm also researching trunk packs for the rear rack, replacement pedals for my bike and possibly new tires. I think I would like a tire that can handle a wide variety of surfaces, from easy forest service roads to the crushed-stone used on most of our rural bike trails. I will probably add the Garmin Varia radar unit. I'm half deaf, so that would be a nice companion to the mirrors.
