Oh, I use Mirrycle on all my e-bikes, using the SL
Welcome to the club. The SL is a fantastic bike.
You can drill a hole in the grip instead
That’s what I did. The Ergon grips are basically the only mod I’ve made that I consider mandatory. I got the GP3s so i should have another hand position since my right hand tends to get tingly.You can drill a hole in the grip instead
I love Ergon grips as these include bar-end plugs that can be removed.
Ergon grips look like a great upgrade as I have some arthritis and extra hand cushion/support/positions could help (and would also allow a bar-end mirror). The GP4s might be more to my liking, but I’ll also have to decide on small vs. large. My hand is approx. 7 1/4” from the bottom of my palm to the tip of my middle finger; I’ve always considered my hands to be on the small side but I don’t know if that’s true for their grip sizing. Too many choices!!!
Specialized grips for Vado SL are very similar to Ergon GP1 (the ones without the bar-ends).I have to say I'm probably the one person that doesn't like those grips. I find them too restrictive. Think about it - you don't always rest your whole hand on the grips. Sometimes you only use part of your hand and the Ergon takes that away. And even the little bit extra weight on the end of the bars to me - still makes control a little bit more squirely. (Pretty technical description huh).
I think the stock SL grips are perfect. Thank goodness we have so many choices for different riders.
or I cannot understand what you say. With a properly angled bar-end of the Ergon GP2, you just rest the "mount of Venus" of your palm onto the beautifully carved recess between the bar-end and the grip; and your two small fingers delicately keep the bar-end from the outside. Let me tell you about my experience:
I have deprived myself of a very important hand position option!
Grip your Ergon's. Now move your hand's out a little. That's right - you can't.Specialized grips for Vado SL are very similar to Ergon GP1 (the ones without the bar-ends).
I do not completely agree with the

I rode for many months with GP3 on one e-bike and the GP2 on another; I decided I liked the GP2 better. Then I bought Innerbarends 411 to find out I was riding for 95% (I thought) of my ride time in the Innerbarends. Why would I need the bar-end then? (I thought). Eventually, I ended up with that setup:

- SQlab 710 grips and integrated Innerbarends 410/402 with no bar-ends (Vado SL)
With so many hand positions available... Why should I do that Karl?
To each their own!
Should you want a wider grip, can you push the Ergon extensions down? Granted that would defeat their “extra” grip, but it seems like it would allow a different change (to a wider grip).
You cannot.
Sure you can. That’s what I use those extension for in the first place. Anyway, you can always get the Ergon grips wilt the nub.
@Stefan Mikes What mounting arrangement do you use? On my SL, the left side has the grip, then the remote, then the brake lever. On the right the sequence is grip, brake, shifter. Which side of the left-side remote do you put the bar end? On the right side, does it make it more difficult to reach the shifter when you're on the regular grip?Ergon GP2 and Innerbarends 411 (Vado)
