Vado SL 2 Alloy version released

Thank you for interesting findings!

Do you mean "cadence"? The crank rpm?


Please take a tape measure and check the distance from the motor spindle (the center of the crankset) to the top of the saddle (center). This distance should be equal on both bikes. If that distance is different on your other e-bike then you know how much the seat post should be adjusted (give the technician this number).


It is 7.28 Wh/km, not a tragedy at all.


Bear in mind the battery 10% below reduces the assistance, and there is no assistance below 5% battery. I'd say 64 km (40 miles). Will you commute in Turbo or rather in a lower assistance mode?

…….after checking that the crank length is the same on all your bikes. The le length is marked on all cranks.

Yes, meant cadence .

The measurements are the same old / new bike but the handlebar sits higher and thud the right is more upright . Guess that’s why I get this feeling. Anyway will get it adjusted some time soon. Could maybe do it myself but the local bike shop 1 km away is actually pretty good for repairs/ small fixes .

Rest assured, it is the same crank length.

If the crank length is the same and the saddle height is the same on both e-bikes then you cannot improve anything by manipulating the saddle height. (If the saddle gets higher or lower then you can never pedal efficiently).
It is the Future Shock system at the stem. A non-Specialized store cannot give you any advice how to improve the e-bike geometry as the parts there are proprietary. Specialized can install a longer FS compatible stem. Just saying.
