having lived iin Boise for years, with mountain biking several times a week, weather permiting, I'm ready to get mobility back again in SC. This looks like the bike for me, enough for occasional mtn biking, great for around town/grocery errands, and perfect for the beach. Thanks for your concise reviews, your info is highly valued!

I have a Vado 5.0 w the igh. I got what I feel is a fantastic deal on it. But I did ride a Tero first. I’ll just say that if I could have gotten a Tero X for closer to what I paid for the Vado 5.0 I may have been riding that instead. But I am blown away by the Vado. I am not a small person. Weighing 240 lbs the 2.2 motor with its 90nM make light work of getting around fast! I can see why they call it turbo. Freakin love it! On turbo! The Envolo igh is a game changer too. It’s nice not to have to worry about shifting under power and rallying a $900 drivetrain. Plus it’s sooooo smooth and quiet. Not clanking and skipping chains that sometimes pop off. I think I am converted.

This looks like the ultimate Dad bike to me (in a good way.) I have two kids with another on the way and we go on trips where we nearly always ride. Got a kid in front of me on a Shotgun seat, another in a pull behind two kid trailer, with diaper bag and food/drinks. So both boys and their stuff + trailer is over 100 lbs of extra weight. We go to the beach, Mountains with techy trails, and farmland. This looks like best bike for all these places while hauling kids.

I have a 2007 Specialized Roubaix roadbike. I rode it for thousands of miles. I stopped riding it in 2016 (age 46) after my second front tire blow out caused me to wreck and I broke my elbow. Then my weight ballooned because I wasn’t getting great cardio workouts anymore. I recently bought a Tero X 5.0 because I was afraid to get back on a 700x25 road bike at age 54, now at a weight of 275 lbs. I’m a sitting duck for another blowout on a 25 mm tire at 120 psi. What I can tell you is that hills that I would climb at 6 mph in 2007, at age 37 at a weight of 225 lbs on a 25 lb carbon fiber roadbike, I can now do at age 54 at 275 lbs, totally out of shape, at 8 mph on a 59 lb e-mountain bike. It is totally night and day. The 2.35 inch wide tires at 50 psi and full suspension take the biggest road bumps or concrete curbs, like they are nothing. On a flat class A bike path, I can ride it at 25 mph for 25 miles before the battery starts dropping off because it is low. At age 37 I could only sustain 22 mph on a road bike. I love this bike. If you’re not doing blue and black MTB trails at your local offroad course, this bike is more than competent.

At this price, I’d consider buying it if it were lighter, had a throttle, a more discreet motor, and perhaps a higher top speed if I’m lucky. However, in its current state, I can’t justify the price. A $1,000 or $2,000 discount would make it a home run for me.

What size is ideal for me (1.83m tall)? I currently ride a Vado 4.0 in size L and I find it quite stretched out. With saddle suspension, an M might have been better. In another, German, video the tester was said to be 1.90m and he would have chosen size M.

@ChantalPugin

There is no one good answer but severals. All depends on your needs. The Vado SL is much more lighter, nimble and sporty but maybe stiffer than the Tero 5. The Tero 5 has a more wider tires and is more smooth on harsh roads but it’s more heavy and less nimble. You really need to try the twos and make your mind by yourself.

Absolutely! Both fenders are 2 piece. There’s the main body and a screw on extender. As stock, the rear fender is 14 inches off the ground. The centerline of the rear hub is 15”, so a 70 degree wheelie before scraping. With the extender removed, the fender is 16” off the ground, so a 120 degree wheelie before scraping, which is well into the danger zone!

I didn’t ride the iconic evo 2, but I did compare the Bulls copperhead MTB back to back with the Specialized Levo. The Bulls felt sloppier, clunkier and bulkier than the specialized. It was like comparing a Porsche 911 to a Corvette. In the end, I bought the specialized tero x 5.0 because I spend more time on pavement than not. Also because my local dealer didn’t have an iconic evo 2 in stock to test ride.

Take it out to Guacamole and tear the fenders off! The fenders make it a commuter; unclear what Specialized is attempting with the e-Bike, but at $5,500 at least you are not going to see 11-15 year-old kids riding it ... that's saved for cheap Rad Power, Lectric and Super 73 consumer direct garbage!
