For almost 3 years I have been in possession of Vado 5.0. 32 000 km later I can only say that there was never a better choice but my "e-black fury" Specialized. Several recent test drives on other e-bikes with different engines and components, including latest Vado, only made me once again sure that I cannot go for anything less again than this new Vado 5.0 2022. Engine and electronics seem to be working even better although none of the other engines came even close to Brose's efficiency and quietness. It is even more comfortable to ride - new 80mm fork, seat suspension, thicker tyres, new handlebar. The very moment I sell my "old" one - not without feeling a bit sorry, I will immediately go for 2022 model. And this time it must be the red one! What's still opened for me to discover, is whether SRAM components can match XT Shimano that I had so far. Mal sehen...Lukas from Augsburg, Germany
