Adjusted the same as the Power Comp, which I had worked with the LBS on. BTW..this is a 155.Wow!
I assume it was adjusted to your body?

You need exactly 120 chain links for the 44T chainring and 42T in the cassette for Vado SL. If you swap the cassette for 46T granny gear, you would need 122 chain links. However, I am not sure whether your existing derailleur would accommodate the 11-46T cassette (the derailleur shall be SGS -- long cage -- and am not sure what I have in my Vado SL).And while I'm on here, anyone know what length is the KMC e10 chain on the Vado SL 4? Is it 122 links or 138? Need to look at replacing my chain before the winter.
Thanks Stefan. That’s good to know re chain length. Just checked the shimano website & the Deore derailleur can handle cassettes up to 46 so in theory it should be ok. In theory. As I’ve swapped the chain ring for a 38T the original chain might be ok too; 44 + 42 (stock) versus 38 + 46You need exactly 120 chain links for the 44T chainring and 42T in the cassette for Vado SL.

Do you have the URL to the bag on the Amazon UK website?I'm a bit late to the conversation here I'm afraid ... I've just got the bag shown in the photo from Amazon (UK) where it sells for about £20. There are broadly similar bags for about £14 if you look around; although the size is the same (2.4 litres - enough for a phone and lightweight jacket and a chocolate bar or two) they don't appear to be quite as well finished. The bag straps onto the handlebars (velcro and pretty secure) with an additional strap around the light bracket and cabling. The latter strap isn't tight and carries no weight. The zip claims to be waterproof but I have yet to test it.

As you can see, the light is clear of the bag and not obscured.
Hope this might be of some help
And now back to your normal service ...

Thank you.Congratulations on your purchase.
Which chain cleaner did you get hehe
You'll need to figure out how to use it with a mid-motor e-bike No clues! You need to understand it yourselfThank you.
I haven't ordered the chain cleaner yet, just put it in the cart. It's this one recommended by the mechanic at my local ebike shop:
CHAIN AND DRIVETRAIN CLEANING KIT
I’m in the USA so share the experience at higher speeds. I bought my Vado SL to be able to ride the longer distances my local routes require. Distances I couldn’t ride one my analog bike. I was riding that analog bike at average speeds of 12-14 mph. I ride the SL at 14-16. This is faster than most of my analog riding neighbors, so more than adequate.I’ve to express a little bit my disappointment about the Vado SL, at least about the European version limited to 25km/h.
While the limited Creo encourages you to pass 25km/h, the limited Vado SL does not or a lot less. At least for a “medium fit” rider like me the gain if it’s flat is often so small, that it’s not worth to push yourself. So instead of cycling 27km/h on your own you often prefer to be lazy with 26km/h and still with motor. While you ride with 29 or 30km/h on your own there with the Creo and would never think of going down to 26km/h.
This way for me the Vado SL is only a nice light eBike, but still has the annoying “25km/h wall” like other ebikes, maybe a little bit less terrible. With the Creo I feel nothing like this.
Of course this effect appears only with the European limited Vado SL versions. Also only for medium fit riders, really fit ones will pass 25km/h by far also on a Vado SL and weaker riders won’t pass 25km/h even on the Creo.
