Turbo Vado SL with Rohloff mod? New 1.2 motor?

[WildPaul]

Just curious... anyone out there try modding their Vado SL to add a Rohloff hub? What about swapping in the new Brose 1.2 motor?

For me, the "perfect" Vado would probably be SL frame/wheels, 1.2 motor, Gates belt and Rohloff hub...

Depending on what you want from Rohloff you could also consider SRAM Transmission in there

Does the SL frame have a removable frame cutout for a belt? I don’t think so, so you’ll have to do a significant modification to the frame to make a belt work.

Ahhhhh good point… I guess an electrical/remote SRAM transmission is another option, but I’m just hooked on the carbon belt now and never want to go back to chain

Extra drag and weight would defeat purpose of buy light ebike.
