Ordered a Valdo 3.0 IHG and I am enjoying it. Quality product and everything works like it should. I am not out to qualify for the Tour de France, so the weight and not hitting 28 MPH is not an issue at all. Between the fit and finish and the great discount this was an excellent choice for me.

I LOVE this bike and have replaced virtually all of my 15 mi round trip commuting and weekly 25 mi rides downtown with it. I found the IGH slower than the Vado 3.0 with traditional chain and gears, but don't feel like that's a limitation -- I typically cruise at around 22 mph and can push up to 24-25 mph if I work at it (plenty fast for trails and poor roads). I also get great battery life, and can put up to 35-40 miles on a full charge if I'm using Sport or Turbo mode, but can bike significantly farther using Eco (probably up to 70-80, but haven't used a full charge). The worst part is the proprietary charger. The bike charges at around 170 W, which is well within the USB-C power delivery spec, but instead the battery uses a proprietary charger that costs ~$150 if you want an extra. If this ebike used a standardized charging port, it would be perfect and open up a wide range of other uses.

Love the bike and the IGH technology. Very well built bike. I wish you could get the Vado4.0 in the IGH. That is my only complaint and to be honest that’s a very small complaint.

We bought 2 of the Vada 3.0 IGH after researching & testing many ebikes (also own Trex bikes). We like the quiet IGH belt, smooth gear shifting, upgraded app, wide tires, & many other features. The Enviolo Twist Shift Lever was upgraded from the one we rode in bike shop. We have ridden quite a bit & had no problems with battery life or speed (up to 30mph). So far, our longest ride was 34mi. We mostly used eco & sport mode, but had 46%/ 48% of battery remaining after 34mi on each bike. Another ride was 26mi & still had 64% of the battery remaining. At 10%, bikes will gear down so factor that into rides. The bikes feel solid & decent quality (except fenders) but HEAVY, so that is disadvantage when trying to load on our platform bike rack. When I forget to hit "record ride" on my app, we discovered that we cannot transfer data from the other bike to my app to save for posterity/records. Overall, we are very happy with these bikes & would buy them again (we bought them on sale).

I commute on a bike path and historically have ridden class 2 bikes. This class 3 bike does a steady 20 mph, which is enough for me since my commute is mostly bike path. Seriously, no one on a public bike path should go faster than 20 mph; it's probably why you can't get a class 3 bike in Europe or Canada. Regardless, the engine is smooth and quiet, the shifting is smooth, the belt drive is solid, the geometry is dialed in... a great experience for a 27 mile a day commute to work and back.

Wow, the marketing really pushes the limit on what they say about this bike. There is no way on earth The battery that comes with this bike is going to take you anywhere near 80 miles. LOL. Maybe around 32 miles? The motor and TORQUE are SMALL compared to most other Ebikes out there, and it’s geared, so LOW If you’re riding in a group, you will be passed by all of your peers. make no mistake about it, this is a class one bike. You are going 20 mph at the fastest. And uphill you are going. SLOW !!! Specialized just simply shouldn’t be selling this bike. And I wish I hadn’t bought it and I’m kicking myself.

The bike is comfortable enough, but the other review is correct, the bike is not geared to go faster than ~22 mph, I suspect that the max cruising speed is in the 15-18 mph range. Mine developed a squeak after ~2 hours of riding. I don't know from where, so it might be fixable. The battery advertises an 80 mile range, and that might be true if you are using minimum power. I found that it ran out of power at ~20 miles averaging 70% boost. The belt drive has 3.5 gear settings. My bicycle had some kind of annoying rubbing in the lowest gear setting so I stopped using it. I would return it if I could, I suspect. On the other hand, I have only put ~3 hours of riding on it, so perhaps there are things that I don't see.
