Are Brose motors indeed manufactured in Germany?Well done to check that, best is regularly (better than bleeding)
Brose motor production in Berlin/Germany started 2014:Are Brose motors indeed manufactured in Germany?
(Meanwhile, the brake pads haven't come yet, either from Germany or UK).
Of course I can. The almost unused rear-brake pads are now in the front brakeCan't ride your bike?
Congratulations on your 1st anniversary.Ever curious how the Specialized motor looked like?

A look under the skid-plate. The only label visible is "BROSE Antriebstechnik. Do not open." The motor was surprisingly clean, with only some dust.
The frame was not cracked, and mounting bolts looked fastened properlyThe big black cylinder at the left hand side in the top motor is the horn.
80$?Got the chain for my Vado 5 as replacement when I need it. Sometimes they are out of stock and one need to wait.
Our Vado 5s were equipped with 120 link chains, the CN-HG601 as I recall. They shift smoothly with a good range of movement in their medium cage derailleurs. I used the CN-HG701 for their first replacement chains, purchased through an online Euro bike shop. Mine has been modified with a wider range cassette and longer chain, but my wife's is still a 120 link chain.Indeed, the XT CN-HG701 (138 links) costs US$40 here. It is 36 EUR but the store in which I've checked the price is rather expensive.
The KMC chain Nxkharra showed would cost EUR 40 (USD 45) here, and it is silver indeed.

How many links does your chain count, @Nxkharra? It should be 126 links for Vado 5.0 (this is what I determined experimentally).
Not sure about the links in my bike. The chain I purchased says 128 link (also says 136??). I also checked online prices. They are from $65 and up here in US. My LBS must be in a high side.Indeed, the XT CN-HG701 (138 links) costs US$40 here. It is 36 EUR but the store in which I've checked the price is rather expensive.
