Hi Court, Tell the guys at Specialized they owe you one. Based largely on your review I bought a Vado 6. Its my first bike in 45 years and I love it. I'm an ebike convert and I'm spreading the word. You can park in my driveway anytime. Thanks a million!
I have to say, this is a commuters dream bike. And is a Specialized. Thank you for this review Court, I really appreciate it. The camera work, explanation and pointing the good as well as the "bad" aspect as a comparison with other similar bicycles and with a calm voice really helped me. Thank you so much. You rock!
Salut se merita bicicleta aceasta varianta din 2021? Si pentru cati bani?
Loved the virtual tour. Stanford is beautiful.
I work on campus and it was fun seeing you navigate there. Your reviews got me into ebikes and now I commute 35 miles round trip daily on my Haibike. One thing that could be a good video idea is how universities like Stanford are promoting biking by providing incentives to employees like cash back, enclosed bike lockers, etc.
Also I had a chuckle when you were riding on the sidewalk going the wrong way through the bike turning circle.
The gentleman makes a (implied) insightful comment about the unjustifiable cost of university tuition, paying for grounds upkeep and building maintenance.
Best in Class true-to-life Electric Bike demo video we’ve yet seen. Specialized seem on top of their game, although this is obviously a luxury, thus, for many, an unjustifiably expensive electric bike.
Great review! I am especially stoked with the ride through Stanford campus. Your one-handed cinematography, combined with your insightful commentary, make it a joy to ride along.
Great work as always.
I just wanted to give you a shout out for your CAMERA WORK. You ride one handed and juggle that thing but the video is seamless and useful. I cannot imagine how poor my version of those rides would look like.
Thanks Martian! I've been practicing for a long time but also pick and choose clips that are smooth. I have to balance riding, talking and looking out for traffic while also being respectful to pedestrians etc. it takes some extra time but I have actually crashed and hit stationary objects in the past... which is no fun
Have you thought about mounting a camera on your helmet so you can use both hands to ride?
I'm sure he has,,can't you see his skills, especially when he's focusing on things he wanted to point out,,,gotta to love the HORNS,,,just like back home brother..LOL.
man, talk about quality. I like Specialized in term of build quality and stealth design. They know that electric motors and battery look odd on bike body. So they make it whole with frame. So cool. I loved the ride footage. Nice group, nice route. Pretty fast but smooth:)
Hey Bruce, you're exactly right... I was able to hit 40+ mph in those downhill sections but the bike never felt wobbly or unstable. The thru-axles help and the slightly heavier, fatter tires also smooth it out and give you stability. Specialized did an excellent job with this product... I like most of their bike to be honest, they look cool and perform great
Wow, these Turbo bikes keep getting better, I so want to try one of them.
Definitely! The great thing is, Specialized has a lot of shops around the country (and world) so you could probably see and ride one yourself soon :D
Heckuva review for one heckuva bike! They've even addressed MY pet peeve by shielding the wires under the center bracket. Crazy cool downhill footage Court, you were whooshin'!
Glad you enjoyed it! These extended reviews take a bit more time but I know the Levo has been a big interest to a lot of people and the press event made it easier for me to get shots and dig deeper into the bike... it all worked out ;)
I used to live in palo alto 17 years ago till the rent scared us off! live in sac town, got the 3.0 model and loving it!.
i love the look of specialized eletric bikes
Me too... I've always loved their designs, beautiful :)
Some of the best content on UA-cam, thank you.
Wow, thanks Will! I'm glad you enjoyed it and appreciate that huge compliment. I'm doing my best ;)
Made in Asia...HQ in Kalifornia.
Several years ago, Merida (a Taiwanese manufacturer) bought a substantial interest in Specialized. Although Specialized is still headquartered in California under the leadership of founder Mike Sinyard, all bikes are made in Asia. Key Asian suppliers are Merida, Ideal, and Giant.
Such an enjoyable video. This was so much more than just a bike review, although I'm really diggin that Specialized Vado 6
I like how in-depth this review is. This is exactly what I was looking for.
6'0, 330lbs here! I'm a proud new owner of the Vado 3.0. I love this eBike! Your review helped me make the decision to purchase one. Excellent video. Thank you!
Now buyer's remorse!! The Mission Control app isn't ready for the Vado models yet. Specialized said that they hope to have it out by the end of the summer. :( Returning this weekend as I paid for a bike in which I can't use it's full functionality.
Do u still have the bike? If so how do u like it now? I'm a heavier guy and am looking at getting a vado 2.0
it was nice to see it in a group setting and the university was stunning.
Thanks Andrew! Normally I'm just out there on my own but this event provided an opportunity to get more feedback. Thanks for your positive comment, it's fun to share these places along with the bikes... I try to keep it from going overboard so the fact that you enjoyed it and said so means a lot
Thanks Court. Great technical presentation and report at Stanford. You are an artist
I love Stanford! Was excited to share it with friends here. Lots of great history, such a beautiful place (the environment and the architecture etc.) thanks Javier!
'Court goes to Campus'! Nice nice footage thru the Uni... Looks like you had definite fun. That bike has the best fenders for blending in and looking non-noobish. Helluva kickstand. Needs rear suspension in this class..Your video 'telemetry' added some goodness. Well done, sir.
Hey, great use of the word telemetry, the overlay from my Garmin has been popular... takes a lot of extra work, delayed the release of this video a bit, but I'm glad you liked it :D thanks for the props
The Garmin telemetry really adds another dimension thanks for overlaying.
Couldnt agree more, this is awesome. I've been a long time subscriber and you helped me choose my first bike about 2 years ago. Finally came back to this video today as I'm in the market again and glad to see your production quality has really gone up! Telemetry data is worth a delay IMO
Thumbs up for the nice downhill footage. Two thumbs up for the East Eden, Leland Stanford and water bottle cage mention ;)
Great work, buddy!
Thanks Ravi! I realize the "review" went a bit off-topic but it was fun to share... glad you enjoyed the variety and cultural elements for this one ;)
I like the overlay you have during the ride showing the different stats.
I've got a pair of the Turbo basic (2016 model) and I LOVE them. I've seen the Vado and it can't compare to the older Turbo's. I especially like the hub motor which is less stress on the chain. And the older models are way cooler looking!
... I like it. What a beauty. Thx for this extra long review...
Sure thing Benjamin, so glad you enjoyed it! I try to label the ride and make breaks so people can dip out if they have had their fill ;)
Absolutely great review! Very informative and very interesting. Keep up the great work! 👍🏻
Those armadillo tires are amazing ... Super tuff
Crazy camera skills. I appreciate your reviews. I ended up with Turbo Levo that I absolutely love. Congrats on getting in on the ground floor of a REVOLUTION in cycling.
I've been thinking about buying a bike again. In the Seattle area (Eastside) I am intimidated by cars. But this ebike looks like I'd have a lot of control. It's also a Specialized which is the first and only bike I'd purchased in the past. I rode it for years off and on. Maybe it's time I get back on a bike. Great reviews. Thank you.
Wow thanks forr the visit, incredible. First time I see a footage , like a first person shooter game. I think you need to do more of this !
much nicer to see a longer review thanks .
Started watching for the review, but love the tour through Stanford!
Lol "beating eggs with your legs", that's a good one gotta remember that one. Good comprehensive review, thinking on buying this bike used.
I have a yellow 6.0 just like this one and love it .... so much fun to ride .....!!
Hi Court-This is some of your best work overall! The new Specialized, the scenery, the Garmin Virb, etc. I love this bike design and the class 3 (28mph) seems great for this bike. Looks like this will be a good bike to be compared to the Stromer St1 or ST2.
I love those shots from Stanford, but how can a palm tree be that expensive?? I think I need to make my next stop in that area the next time I'm up visiting my relys! LOL Thanks again Court and ride safe. Enjoy!
Hi, allways enjoy your reviews very helpfull, between this Vebo 6.0 and the Treck Commuter 8s witch will be your choise ?
Thank you in advance
Hi court haven't been watching much content for the past few months might even be nearer 5 months :( mainly because of replicated designs but this new model caught my eye! really loving the new fat tubing on these specialized bikes and so glad they are adopting the mid drive! Keep up the great videos mate and I'll try to keep up from now on as the 17/18 ranges appear ;)
great review Court. That's a sexy beast of a bike. tempting
I have been a Specialized fan for decades and own a Stumpjumper, a Diverge, a Kenevo and a Kenevo SL. I love your reviews and your thoroughness with regards to features and benefits on all bikes you review. I wanted to share some information on this Vado as I am getting ready to purchase a commuter and have selected the Vado. The 6.0 Vado is not currently available in the U.S. (boo-Hoo) nor is the horn available, instead you get a bell. The higher torque of 90nm comes on the 5.0 and 70nm on the 4.0 I’m going email Mike Synyard, founder of specialized who pirchases his cars (BMW’s) from my friend. I’d love to get the higher linen headlight, built-in horn, bigger motor and higher torque that is offered on the 6.0 that you reviewed. Wish me luck!! - Lenny
I purchased the 6.0 back in December in yellow the last one they had in D.C IN LARGE
A little over 100 miles on it with not a scratch on it
Wow! Brakes that don't squeal like a strangled cat! I've had 6 Stromers from the ST1 right the way up to the ST5. Every single one of them had squealing back brakes. Both Magura and TRP. In the end because Stromers are more "pushy" than any other I just bought Sony swimming walkmans which deaden ALL sounds. Incurable problem though. No amount of sanding or changing or "decontaminating" the disks works. Bern Head Office doesn't give a shit about it either. For 10 grand you CAN go at 30mph but you will also scare dogs and horses too when you brake. After this review I'm buying a Specialized
Been missing you Court ! This is a great looking bike btw.
Thanks Dave! I know, like a week without any review posts... have been driving from Colorado to Arizona for reviews and now in San Francisco. I've shot five new bikes but now need to catch up with emails, comments etc. and start posting again ;)
When approaching a rider in front of you and you want to pass please announce “ON YOUR RIGHT” ( or left depending. .) to announce your intent to pass for safety’s sake.
Court,
Saw you guys Friday on Sandhill road by Stanford campus while I was biking
to my yoga class.
I think the Quick E by Giant may be the best Buy for E Bikes..
Set up as an Urban Commuter..
You get great parts.. Battery Life is good.. 28mph is standard..
And then the price of like $3100.. really makes it a strong contender in the market.
Man this is one of your best videos u are the uber geek of ebikes and I mean that in a very appreciative way love your videos ☺️☺️can u review the orbea d10 d20 d30 I’ve ordered the d20 it looks magnificent keep making your reviews we love them ☀️☀️☀️
I am more interested in reliability, dependability, and durability than speed. What about that? How much does it cost to replace a battery or motor? How long should they last? And what about the warranty? Riddle me that!!
Would you be able to upgrade the motors as time goes by? Or would you just have to sell and get a new one like an iPhone?
I've heard you mention "heel strike" in a few reviews and you're usually talking about whether or not your toes will come in contact with the front tire or front fender. That situation is a really common thing in road bikes with aggressive geometry but it's a non-issue because when you're traveling at speed you will never turn that sharply. Heel strike is usually an issue with the location of panniers.
Glad I watched the whole vid. Beautiful bike and stunning campus. Reminds me of Wits in Johannesburg. But Stanford is on a different level.
Great bottle holder. I would hate to go biking without a bottle of whiskey.
Thanks for the great review!
Great Review. GF bought the mid entry. It screams!!!!
After test riding about 20 ebikes this is a good value.
This is the best review yet, very comprehensive. Keep up the good work. Given a choice between this bike and the BULLS SIX50 E2 Street, which would you recommend ?
Oh man! That is so close... the Vado wins on looks because it's so seamless but the SIX50 E2 Street is cheaper, has longer travel suspension and still comes in multiple sizes. It might depend on whether a dealer was located nearby? The fender on the Vado is actually very useful and I like how quiet and smooth Brose is but Bosch is one of my favorite motor makes too... This is such a difficult trade, I think they would both be great choices!
Thanks for the reply. Appreciate it.
12:12 Oh, I'm "feeling kush" alright buddy. Definitely feelin kush. Keep up the great work!
Psilocin Finite
...hehehehe 🤤
I have a huffy duty road, and it still ride perfect, but this will be my next bike.
Awesome as always! Tell me if you could only buy one would you buy a Levo or a Vado? I know they're different, but maybe a Levo with a less aggressive tire? I can't decide which way to go!
I really enjoyed the Vado and would probably get one of them (maybe the 3.0) if I was commuting. But, most of my riding is for fun and I don't mind wearing a backpack so a hardtail or full suspension Levo would be my first choice :D
Awesome review. I purchased (two) Specialized Turbo X after watching review. I am thinking about purchasing Specialized Turbo Vado (3.0) after watching this review. Thank you for the review. What software did you use to post the riding stats? Nice camera work. I don’t know how you can hold the camera, go downhills, around the curves, and control your speed. And talk at the same time.
would this be a good bike for me I'm 68 year old and would ride predominately on the road but occassionally off road?
excellent bike better than the past models because the power wheel has no good vantages for fixing the wheel in case of fail in neumatic. but it has no regenerating energy
Great review! Can't wait to demo one soon. What is the camera/telemetry system you use that shows all the data along the bottom of the image? I really like the format. thanks
Great Review and Great bike :)
great review by the way. im not a fan of specialized as a company, but they have very good products, this bike looks awesome, ive been 45 mph on a bike before, its an awesome feeling, i wasnt on an ebike, but its still a great feeling.
Yeah! There were parts here where we got close to the 41 mph mark but 45 mph is super fast. I'm guessing you were riding a road bike? If the terrain is right, it's a blast to fly like that. What are your favorite bike brands (electric or otherwise?)
ElectricBikeReview.com actually i was really young Nd dumb and much more active then. it was a mountain bike but i had it very agressive and it was too tall for me so i could get full leg extension. i had on hybrid tires and was riding down a long severe hill at night, with a tail wind. on a state highway. it was so dark i couldn't see the speedo until i got back in some light. it was almost 20 years ago, they didnt have back lit speedos i could afford then. As for preferred brands, im a big fan of giant and trek as standard bikes. i do both gas and electric motorized bikes as a hobby and transportation. gas bikes are their own little world, brands are pretty meaningless, they are what you make them. as for electrics, im pretty impressed with rad power for their quality at the price. ive messed with some of the old currie tech ezips, theres a reason they arent made anymore is all i will say about them. but its surprising that you still see some on the road every now and then, usually with a lot of duct tape and zip ties, but still grinding along. GRINDING loudly. i dont have the bread right now, but the stromers lool great and im probably going to save up for something a little more commuter than cargo soon. the wagon is heavy. its a beast and i love it but i want something a little more capable of mounting or dismounting a curb and not feeling like i need to report a crime when the rear wheel hits the pavement. i was thinking about a sondors thin, but i costs less now than the ezips did 5 years ago, that kinda speaks to the quality.
i dont mind used bikes as i can work on bikes or make them work somehow, any suggestions?
That flappy fender....arrrrgggg!!
When is the review of the trek super commuter going to be up by chance?
great review. it seems the hiviz yellow isn't available on the is site. only the charcoal gray. bummer. the yellow looks awesome.
I think the bike is still waiting to be added to the Specialized website, this was filmed at a pre-release media event type of thing :)
This will be direct competition for Stromer?
I noticed many of the rear hub motor bikes , have a loud wining noise, which is annoying to me.. Are there any brands that are quieter? I’m considering the Aventon Level model. Your thoughts, thanks
great review court! they, that is specialized, better give you that bike since they put your name on it court.
Ha! No... I didn't get paid for this, no free bike, no helmet or lock unfortunately (those were press gifts but I got there late after another event in Arizona). It has been a busy week! I'm just happy I got to go :D
Hi Court, This model really caught my eye. I've tested the Stromer ST1X and the Vado 4=15mph (Vado 6 available in Belgium september). Given a choice between this bike and the Stromer ST1X which you also reviewed, which would you recommend.
(pro's according to me for the Vado 6 = Comfort, less effort obtaining 28mph, cheaper, weight, better Shimano parts, breaking light in the rear, electric horn ....) For me the range with the battery is also important and here i have no idea for the Vado 6. Thxx for your feedback.
Love your reviews, great job. How did you get the stats to show up on the bottom of the video? That is awesome.
great review as always..........I just ordered one through a local bike shop.......should be here in a day or two........what brand rear view mirror is that? is that the best location to avoid vibration and a blurry image? I have never been able to find a decent rear view mirror for a bike..........that might be a good topic for a video.........review all of the different styles of mirrors..........thanks
I actually liked Stanford much more than the bike itself. For this type of bike, I believe the Riese&Muller you showed us some time ago is a much better bike.
And while I agree Stanford can be "inspiring", the 50K per palm tree reference inspired me to buy an axe and a flannel shirt... (Sheer wasteful ridiculousness)
Great video anyway, Court.
where do you get the info on the bottom of the screen (i.e. heart rate, grade)?
Hi Court, I know I could put my name on my bike, that would not be a big deal. But I was wondering why you had your name on this particular bike ? Thank you in advance for your honest answer. Keep up your wonderfull journalistic helpfull job. Cheers, Ghost
Im confused, you mention this is the vado 6.0 but in the 'intoduction' section of your review on your website, you show this model being a 5.0. in addition, specialized website only lists the 5.0 and 3.0. Does specialized need to update their website and is this model available in the US this year? If so, suprising the 6.0 includes suspension but is the same price as the 5.0? nice looking bike regardless. cheers.
Sorry for the confusion, Specialized does need to update their website... the info that is currently live there is limited and has been incorrect in a couple of cases (price is one). I produced two "placeholder" reviews which are now out of date and I intend to fix them in the coming days as time permits. I just worked really hard to get their top-end bike that we tested (the 6.0) live here as soon as I could. The review linked in the description above goes to the best data I have because I measured it in person... though there may still be some mistakes
thanks for clarifying. keep up the good work this was an excellent review video.
Sure thing, I appreciate your heads up about the 5.0 mistake in the introduction stats. That is now fixed :D
I'd be happy to test one out for you :)
This was the first time Specialized invited me to a press event. We didn't get to keep the bikes or anything, just a fun ride. You can start testing and reviewing ebikes on your own by visiting shops or asking friends. I have even reviewed used ebikes that people were selling on Craigslist. Maybe someday I'll be in a position to grow my team and you could help me if you start reviewing too :D
what program or app are you using that display the stats on the screen?
I use a Garmin device (you can see it mounted to the left of the Levo computer thing in the middle) and that exports a file that can be overlayed and matched with video using the Garmin Virb Edit software. Once that is done, I export it and then re-import into iMovie and do my normal editing
Oh and 32:50 if you didn't think that mirror is a -really- dumb idea (she's lucky to survive ;))
I think it would haven been handy to include a remote lock for the suspension fork
Gee Court, why do you keep passing on the right?
Good point... I mixed in some different shots here, I would occasionally race ahead and stop to get different angles of the group. Some of my riding was a bit reckless :(
ElectricBikeReview.com i noticed that a little but you were pretty courteous and minding the etiquette. there were a few times i really expected you to take a header from a curb or other obstacle. good riding. you really need to go multi cam though so you can just mount the cams before the ride and then edit them all together in post. maybe even a seperate audio recording so you can split the screen between feeds and still have the same audio sync and quality.
What you prefer, The trek electric bike, Or the specialized electric bike?
Is the OSD overlay from Strava? Garmin? Just charge the GoPro with the bike battery!
The on-screen display overlay stats are from a Garmin and I used the Garmin Virb Edit software to sync it up :)
+ElectricBikeReview.com Thank you! What glasses do you wear with the Bell MIPS helmet? Are they polarized? ANSI?
I'm wearing Oakley Jawbones with clear lenses (for night riding and eye contact on video), they're great glasses! I like white because they stand out more so maybe cars will see me :)
Thank you for the quick response! In the Bell Super 2R MIPS Helmet review you talked about the camera mount on the chin. What gimbal are you using with your helmet mount? Are you using the GoPro Hero 5 Session?
I really appreciate the time you put into make and producing these videos and that your videos are over 40 minutes. Its great you can talk about the specs and overview of the bike for 20+ minutes. It give a really really good close up view of all the aspects of the bike. Your bike rides with the camera mounted on the chin give a fantastic view. Super smooth. If you look down we can see it! A much more enjoyable and interactive view of whats going on.
11:00 People with huge feet really have to dial in their foot placement on the pedals, lest they interfere with steering (as shown) or the frame itself (kickstand, etc.). Can come down to a matter of millimeters!! #size14 #sasquatch
I wonder if these can be unlocked the same way as the Levo so the assistance doesn't cut out?
I think it will be more difficult because of where and how the magnet and speed sensor are mounted, much closer to the rear hub vs. the middle of the left stay
ElectricBikeReview.com Ah yes that's true. Good point! Keep up the great work too buddy, love all your reviews. I bought an Expert Levo a few weeks ago and based my purchase partly on watching your reviews on it.
155bpm! Is it the effort or the stress of going at such a high speed?
Probably a bit of both to be honest! Your adrenaline gets pumping and I was staying very focused, looking for cars and watching out for other riders but also exercising
some say that it is a 350 watt engine but on the specialized home page it says 250 watt nominal it spins only at higher speeds but it has the same Power as the vado 3.0 and 4.0 has
Motor
nice review, ty, i am sure this is a good bike, but i hate the looks of it, more then happy owning an old turbo x 😍
Make a video about - washing tips of the hybride bikes
Where did you get that mirror from????
Thanks. They put stopper for brakes why not on gear lever as well
The brake switches send a signal for the light to go from normal mode to bright in the back. It's a requirement for safety in parts of Europe... while a shift detection system isn't required and since the system measures pedal torque, I guess they figured people would just learn how to ride and shift without needing a built-in system. It could slow down performance for advanced riders depending on how they implement it and could add wires and extra sensitivity to the system. I'm not sure, maybe we will see more innovation in this space in the future
thanks for the reply. the best reviews here as always.
So, Court, does Brosei motors overtaken Bosch & Yamaha motors by the storm on lux ebike market in 2017? in your opinion. ..?
Hey Sergey, I think Brose is doing pretty well! The motor is quiet, small, and manufacturers like Specialized can do their own battery and display to make it match the bike. Bosch is really great too, I feel like their motor is zippier. Difficult to say... maybe if Brose introduces shift detection? That's the one area that bugs me which Bosch is trying to address with their system, though it's not perfect
ElectricBikeReview.Court would like to see you review a e bike it's name spark by shocke bikes
Thanks for the request James! I'll keep an eye out for it, currently have like 30 other models pre-shot and just trying to make my way through slowly
ElectricBikeReview.com glad to see that a lot more reviews are coming
Can you create a rating video, say for 2017 'e' bikes, which ones do you rate the highest, by category?
What happened to the regen mode from the older Turbo is the Eco mode adjustable and what is the Sport mode?
How much improvement is this one compared to the 2015 turbo? I have a chance to get the turbo for $1200 with only 175 miles on it or 3k for the new 3.0.
Why isn't the 6.0 on the Specialized website?
Specialised UK would not provide any warranty from all dealers, saying to go back to supplying dealer. So it's not really a network warranty be warned.
The motor sounds louder than the 2016 Turbo, or ?
That rear rack doesn't have much support. For some reason I thought it funny they test the bike in a wind tunnel. Sounds like ridiculousness to me. I like the bright yellow color though.
Yeah, there's a video where they show the wind tunnel... I haven't been there in person but it's like a medium sized thing that they probably use for their helmets and triathlon bike testing. In this case, they used chalk boards to show the splatter marks of water coming off of the tires in different locations (sides, rear, face) here's the video: ua-cam.com/video/7APHYs_7K7w/v-deo.html
OK that makes sense.
$4800.00 and no shift sensors? What the heck?
If you check the argentina brina 2 (half the price) this bike seems like a bad joke xD.
how did you get the speed, direction, etc information below ?
