Turbo Vado SL 4.0 EQ

I picked up my Turbo Vado a couple of weeks ago and took it for a spin on the following Sunday. OMG! It made my old bike look and feel stupid. I sh*t you not, the difference between the two was night and day. It is true what they say, you only get what you pay for. First thing I noticed, the same pedal work now gets me twice the distance! How is that possible? Gear changes are a snap! Before, I had to 'push' the levers to feel the cables move the derailleurs. Now, I only have to touch the levers and the gears change! I thought it was electric assist but no, it's 21st century gearing! The electric motor assist is excellent too - the power glides in as opposed to 'jerking' in and I can get up those hills so much easier now. The bike won't do the work for me! I still have to pedal to get the assist to kick in. The bike accuracy (nee, precision) is brilliant - it feels true and really well engineered. Oh man, I should have done this years ago!

Je roule avec mon vado depuis 2 mois et je suis très heureuse de rouler avec. J'aime la sensation de rouler avec un vélo musculaire. Il me donne le petit coup de pouce que j'ai besoin dans les montées ou encore lorsqu'il y a du vent. De plus je n'ai aucune difficulté à le mettre sur le support à vélo, vu son poids léger. Juste WOW!

We viewed & tried bikes at Nottingham, Whitwell & Normanton outlets. Without exception all staff were knowledgeable & couldn't do enough to help. The turnaround time for the workshop to ready the bike was amazingly fast. I am looking forwards to many hours enjoying the outdoors by bike now and keeping up with my husband on the hills.

버스로 한시간 출퇴근 거리를 자전거로 하니 15분 단축됩니다. 넘 만족합니다

1. 가벼운 무게(14.9kg) : 실제 국토종주 동해안(경북) 코스 라이딩 할 적에 울진 종합 터미널에서 버스에 실어 보았더니 불편한 것 없다. 안 내 내용과 동일하게 전기자전거라는 사실을 잊을 정도로 가벼웠다 2. 320wh 내장 배터리로 130km 주행하고 달릴 수 있다고 되어 있는데 실제는 1단계(10%) 지원으로 평지로 간다면 그럴지 몰라도 스마트 미션 컨트롤 설정(30%,65%,100%) 하여 페달을 밟아서 그런지 60km 정도 페달링 보조를 받을 수 있는 것 같음. 3. 무엇보다 밸런스가 좋고 푸처샥 장착으로 울통불통한 도로에서 가볍고 부드러운 느낌 4. 스마트폰 미션 컨트롤 연결되어 편리함. 도어 장착도 되어 있어 분실 위험이 없다 5. 무엇보다 업힐 시 힘들었던 부분을 전기로 인해 페달만 밟으면 어디 듣지 갈수 있다는 것 시니어인 나에게는 제일 좋은 것 같다.

Je roule depuis plus d'un an avec ce vélo. J'apprécie énormément sa polyvalence. Compte tenu de son poids il permet de rouler avec la sensation d'un vélo "normal", sans assistance, et bien sur de profiter de l'assistance en cas de fatigue ou face à des dénivelés plus importants. Très adapté à tout type de sortie moyennant la capacité physique de rouler car en contrepartie l'assistance n'est pas celle d'un vrai VAE. Je lui reproche aussi d'être un peu "raide" mais j'avais l'habitude d'un VTT tout suspendu. Donc éviter quand même les chemins trop abîmés.

Superb customer service and everyone is always so friendly.

I got my Turbo Vado SL 4 about a month ago. I'm 74 and have been riding hybrids for 30 years. I live in Lake Placid, NY and we have Ironman hills. The efficient 9 manual gears and light weight enables me to bike 90% unassisted, but should I want to tackle the "3 bears" the ebike assist allows me to get up and not feel like my heart will explode.

My electric bike is great

Très beau vélo, rien à redire tout dans la qualité de la marque

I like the EQ version but the rack is annoying. This is a Racktime rack with an old connection system (check the Racktime website) at least for the 2020 version of the Vado sl. I could not find a generic bag for this rack. And it looks like specialized does not sell any Racktime compatible bag which makes the rack almost useless. I finally found one Racktime bag in Amazon (Racktime Odin Fahrradtasche) that fits well. I guess at a minimum specialized will need to update the Racktime rack to the newest connection system otherwise it will become more and more annoying for later customers to find a Racktime bag with an obsolete connection system. Otherwise the SL bike is great. I think that it is the best ebike for many riders who are regular bike commuters or who just want to enjoy a nice relatively long ride tour. You may not get the amazing assistance level of the non-SL vado, but the lighter weight and the longer range (with range extender) are big pros on the SL version.

Bin total begeistert. Wow, aber unbedingt zu einem specialized Fachhändler senden lassen! Da wir dir dein Bike professionell aufgebaut und erklärt:-) Zusätzlich bekommst du noch viele gute Tipps und Serviceanleitungen, sowie Pflegetipps. Ich kann welcome cycles inZug empfehlen.

I ride this to work, about 9 miles one way. On the way to work, the assist keeps me from sweating as I don't want to have to feel like i need a shower when I get there. On the way home I detour into Boulder, Colorado to get some more miles (15). I use the assist on the road then turn off the motor and get some exercise on the bike paths in Boulder. when I leave Boulder to head east, I kick into turbo and get home quickly. With the level 2 assist, the acceleration is very good, in turbo it's great. Love this bike.

We love that this ebike only assits a peddling rider - it is not a scooter! We are enjoying riding longer and further with only the assist we need when we need it. At 66 years old the Vado SL has reimagined our Northern Colorado cycling adventures. We like that they included a rear rack, however that rack is my only complaint. The rear rack is made by Racktime and only Racktime trunks or panniers fit correctly. Racktime products are more expensive and in my opinion not as versatile ad other manufacturers. We have over 1200 miles on our Turbo Vado SL’s….and would recommend to any one that wants an ebike that requires you to power the bike!

Bonjour, . Je possède un VADO SL depuis l'été dernier. J'ai parcouru un peu plus de 800km, sur tout type de route, campagne ville etc... J'ai téléchargé "Mission Control". Je suis un poids léger je peux donc parcourir environ 90 kms avec une batterie pleine. Compte tenu de mon âge, j'ai 71 ans, et une pathologie qui me diminue physiquement, je peux dire que ce vélo me convient très bien, il me permet de faire du sport tout en m'aidant dans des situations difficiles. Sa légèreté est un atout majeur pour moi. A recommander sans hésitation pour tous les jours et pour les sorties au long cours.

Me encanta esta bicicleta por poder compartir rutas con personas con mayor capacidad a la mía.he realizados Viajes de cicloturismo cortas distancias pero con desniveles fuertes. Lo único que le añadiría la suspensión de la Vado 5 . 0 sl que para el momento de la compra no estuvo disponible y deseo localizar para añadírselo a la 4.0 como también la horquilla de fibra de carbono.nota he recorrido al día de hoy 2300 kilómetros y solo voy a remplazar la cadena y las pastillas de freno.
