I've had my Turbo Vado SL 4 for a week and already put 120km on it. I love it. I also have a Voya E+1, which was my first ebike. I liked it, but the battery life wasn't good enough for me, so I found the Vado on sale and pulled the trigger. I've been impressed with the motor and the battery so far. I mostly ride (85%) in the lowest assist mode, and I'm getting around ~120km from a charge. Not much to complain about yet. I did find the ride a little harsh compared to my Voya and my full-suspension mountain bike (surprise), but I've already made some changes to alleviate that. So, here are my changes so far. Note: None of this was necessary, but I a) had the parts already. b) love to tinker.
- Redshift Suspension Stem and Seatpost (these are life savers)
- Carbon handlebars
- SQ Lab Inner Bar Ends
- Garmin mount for the Garmin and the light
- WTB seat, also Garmin Varia radar on the seat
- Pedals - Shimano XT PD-T8000
Anyway, I love it so far!
