I’m a long-time bike commuter, and got an e-bike to further reduce my car use for other trips around town. After 1 month of riding it’s working and I love this bike! Functions like a fully loaded hybrid bike (upright, very stable, fenders, lights, traction tires), but rides like my road bike (fast, light, agile). The front light is possibly my favorite element- it is not only incorporated so no more battery/charging hassle, but also the light is bright and really lights up the road. Range has been predicable so far. I really like how the gear shifting and power assist levels work together - ergonomically comfortable and together I have a lot of choices to respond to the hills and other conditions.

I been having so much fun in few months 700 miles on it I definitely recommend this bike .I do not ride my motorcycle since i bought the vado.

I get a thrill passing up those want to be professional dressed up riders lol; especially, going up steep hills as I; see the fatigue factor kick in and I smoothly past everyone enjoying the look on theirs face. My long distance rides on Sport mode makes it so much fun for the duration out and back, this is amazingly the best bike I've ever had.

I'm 61, live in So. Cal at the top of a hill in the burbs. My house is 1.5 miles from the relatively flat community - in fact, it's a 1000' climb - so leaving home is a breeze - all downhill, but getting home after a ride was horrible. My former bike had 27 speeds so getting home was ridiculous - pedals whirring around and bike barely moving. My Specialized bike allows me to ride up the hill at 10 mph in 4 gear with level 3 power at a very comfortable pace. I'm knocking down barriers riding further, faster, and in comfort, balancing burning calories and not straining myself. I knock out 20 mile rides several times a week and it's like being a kid again. I wish I'd done this sooner. Great product.

It is just awesome! If I didn't have winter to deal with, it would have replaced my car. It is so much fun, that when riding it, I have the biggest grin on my face! Right now, I'm just dying waiting for the snow to recede so I can get riding again! I've had zero issues with the bike and no regrets spending a chunk of money for it either.

My husband & I bought these bikes 8 months ago and we couldn't be happier. We are 66 years old and hadn't been on bikes since we were in our 20s. The bikes are comfortable, look good, move well and the three levels of power give us confidence to ride in all terrains. As we get older the weight of the bikes might mean that we change them for a lighter Specialized equivalent. We are so happy with them - they have given us a newfound sense of fun and fitness.
