Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

[BEC111]

I have been using a Zero Gravity wall hanger for my bike. The Rack hangs the bike from the top bar. When I bought it I had an analog hybrid bike that weight about 28 pounds. When I got my Vado SL1 4 EQ I still had no serious problem lifting the bike onto the rack. Now that I have the SL2 5 EQ, I’m finding lifting it becoming too difficult. I’m 78 and not as strong as I was 6 years ago so this is not too surprising.(Zero Gravity is out of business. )

My garage is pretty small with barely enough side clearance for my Honda CR-V and only about 5 feet clearance from the front of the car to the mounting back wall.I need suggestions on alternatives that don’t require lifting the bike three feet off the floor.

This is on sale for $7 at Harbor Freight. Or you could get an electric winch.

Another month, another rattle.

This one was easy to locate, the front light just rattles around and has lateral movement of around 10mm both sideways and up and down, so just flapping around. I have not had time to have a proper look but I could not see anything to tighten.

Had to take the bar clamp off to to add a bit of tape to try and get a firmer grip on the light slot but the plastic fixing slot snapped off pretty easily. I have had to tape the light to frame for now The bike is only 2 years old but the list of issues to fix are building up now.

To think it was only serviced two months ago.
