Both my wife and I bought the Vado 4.0. Excellent product and very happy with it except the front fender fell off both of them and got damaged. We understand we are getting new fenders, but they either have to fix the front fender mounting system of the rider should remove the front fender completely. Having a front fender come off at speed would not be good. We will likely be replacing both with the new 33lb Vado SL because of the weight difference.

After several years of arriving last and quietly accepting her hopeful looks of better performance, I found the Vado 4.0. Hills no longer make me sweat before I get there, flat runs I pass her with a gleeful look over my shoulder. You saved my marriage. Unfortunately she is making me buy her one.

Over 400 miles so far, no problems. I estimate my range at 60 miles. I ride in mostly flat areas with a few hills. Heavy to pedal with no assist, but I pedal in first level all the time except going uphill or into a big headwind. Recommended.

This is my fitness bike and I love it. I get a great workout without the soul crushing slowness of the hills in my area. Can keep up in group rides no longer the no rider left behind. When I got the bike the headlamp was loose on the front fender and kept vibrating. Headlight vibrated off during my 3rd ride going 10 mph causing the fender to get ripped off the bike and the headlight almost getting caught in the spokes. Took it to the shop and they replace the fender and reinstalled the light but it is still loose. Waiting for a solution.

I just retired at age 64 and I wanted a bike that would be fun to ride and have the power to go against the wind with little effort.. I live on the southwest side of Chicago near Beverly. The neighborhood has steep inclines on a few streets and I can go up the streets with ease. The Vado is a excellent bike. The build is superb, the brakes are excellent, shifting is smooth, and the electric assist is out of this world. I feel like a kid again when I ride this bike. I researched e bikes and I am so glad I choose the Vado. One more note, I am very happy with the service and sales at Kozy bike shop on 219 Erie . They are very friendly and exemplary. I am one happy customer!

I have the Turbo Vado 2 and the Turbo Vado 3 . I like to keep 2 so I can still ride when one is being serviced. I have 3000 miles on one and 2000 on the other and both have served me well. I have also ridden Trek dual sport and there is no comparison. The Turbo Vado is more powerful. I will always own one as long as I can ride. I only wish there were a trade-in program so I can always up grade. Right now my Vado 3 is 3 years old and Vado 2 is 2 years old.

I originally bought a turbo x on deep discount....it had repeated warranty issues and was given this one as a warranty replacement. It has served like a champ for roundly 1k miles so far with no issues arising that were not expected (i live in nola and the roads have potholes literally the size of a car) this thing is fantastic
