Vado 4.0 LTD

[rochrunner]

Just saw this on the U.S. site: a Vado 4.0 "LTD" with more aggressive off-road tires and a basic suspension seatpost, and in a can't-be-missed color too!

Interesting... It is the first Vado I've seen which made me want to shield my eyes!

Wear a high vis green helmet, and a safety orange vest when you ride it to make sure to be seen.And a flashing light or two ...

I like the colour, yet I cannot understand what so special is about that e-bike...

It's just marketing Stefan. "It's you, only yellow..."

 

[Stefan Mikes]

It seems to me the colour is mango. @Brendon@TBSM, you're the expert in mango, aren't you

 

[Katysax]

I like it; I like the color.

 

[Stefan Mikes]

The colour shouts: "STEAL ME"

I had a different reaction;

To quote Monty Python: "Run away!"

That seemed to be true for 2018 red Vado too. If you ask me
Specialized colour name was Nordic Red. Don’t know what that means but I liked it. Like the new yellow as well.

Ah. The one that was stolen. I see.

Oh, TMH, I like lively colours The post-modern times are so grey...

That's right! I looked at that bike, but since I'll be riding it all the time I want folks to experience the 1.3 motor and the top of the line model. That and I don't really want a suspension seatpost so the black goes well with my mango wheels!

Here's the bike, really sharp color! Sold out in size large in both standard and low step frames, all other sizes are in stock, we can ship wherever!

There are two 'lively' colors; Crimson and Yellow. It's well established that they are the fasterest colors, not to mention coolest...

The color is fine; high visibility can help you avoid being killed by drivers. But why move the headlight down to the arch? That seems like a miss, as Court would say.

All the 2020s are like that.

My Vado has the stem mounted light. It interferes with a handle bar bag which I use on my mech bike. The light is custom for this so it can't just be flipped over and mounted on the fork crown. I ended up 3D printing an extension that puts the light above my bag.

I would have preferred a crown mounted light.

 

[Stefan Mikes]

That may depend on 4.0 vs 5.0

Not the 4.0s...
