What's the best bike to use on a Wahoo (as an e-biker)

Some might say your e-bike, but Wahoo specifically states not to use an e-bike on their trainer.
So, I tried a Cannondale CAAD 9, not my kind of bike, I have a few Nikimachie bikes, one a mountain, one a road, still, not that warm fuzzy feeling as I get with my Turbo Vado SL or Turbo Vado.
Can I (or should I) use the SL on the Wahoo????
Reasons why not to or cautionary examples? (I know not to turn on the power on the e-bike....so then?)

Guru, my experience in bike trainers is exactly equal to zero. What I did was checking the Vado SL 5.0 rear hub dimensions: thru-axle, 12x148 mm. Wahoo Kickr specs read: wheel size 700c, hub type: Thru-axle 12x148 (adapters included). It should be compatible. Why don't you just give a Specialized LBS a phone call and ask them? (They know such stuff as bike trainers the best). (Of course, the e-bike function won't work but you are aware of it).
