Specialized Vado 4.0 Motor Problem

[Foggy999]

3 week old Vado 4.0 lost the Sports assist mode. Eco and Turbo work fine. Sport mode requires pedaling without any assist or motor hum.

I'd check your Mission Control settings. Maybe even reinstall the app. Or, reboot your phone. Not much to go on in your description, but this sounds like a electronic issue, rather than a mechanical one.

Also, might try giving your battery a firm slap to make sure its is seated properly. If that fails, try removing the battery and reinstall finishing with a slap. My battery was also fussy and I learn, once got it right, leave it.

Right! I have reseated the battery several times and it does require a firm slap to seat it properly.
Last time after recharging the sport mode worked for about a minute and then cut out again. I think it’s a faulty motor since all other electric functions working. We’ll see what Specialized says.
