Bike for rent: We insert the credit card at the beginning, how will the system withdraw the money from us if we take more rides?. When we leave the bike, do we leave it somewhere or do we need to put it back at the station? How do we do anything from the phone when we place the bike anywhere?

Nice job guys! I quite enjoyed the series. Cheers!

Hi Michelle...great to see you and Nathan back! Nice review. Looking forward to more bike and gear videos. All the Best - Rich

Great to once again see the best product reviewer on CZcams! It seems like a good product to invest in. I thought it would cost much more- so that’s a bonus 😉

Great to see a new video from you! I'm very interested in the idea of discreet wearables, I'd probably prefer a smart bracelet to a ring I think. I know Fitbit style bands have existed in the past, but I don't want a screen on it.

Concerning the bins, there are no dedicated storage spaces that is why they happen to be outside on the sidewalks/pavements. Loved this video by the way. 👌🏽

Have them both and love them both! My Turbo Vado SL 4.0 is my favorite if I had to choose.

Since you had to shorten and raise the stem it sounds like Canyon’s recommended size that you ignored was correct. SMH

I was starting to enjoy the video when I realized that you are no longer posting. Please come back. The world really needs 'One Less Car' on the road.

Where is this Beautiful place

Parts of Bristol are very dirty for wealthy city

Bristol does things cheap thats why bike lane inferstructure is crap

Thanks for the reviews, very good presentation and clearly explained. Just one thing, the black Vado isn't a step thru model as the bar on a step thru is below the rear wheel bar.

I am looking at transitioning from my road bike with the skinny tires to something like the turbo vado or turbo vado sl. I am 71 with about 12 years of riding and doing triathlons and was always one of the slowest. I also recently had a nerve seizure in my leg that aggravated the numbness (nuropathy) in my feet and legs. This has made it difficult, balance wise, getting on, getting going and stopping. I feel so insecure now. I still want to get the exercise which hasn’t been much the last couple years. With that background information any suggestions on going regular or SL? How hard are they to ride with no assist and what kind of workout would I get on eco assist? Thanks

How much does the moulton weigh? Looks like less than 10KG

Wrong. Walking isn't more dangerous than biking. Mountain bike. Stay off the roads!

Why the batteries? The Moulton should be ridden analogue. Instead of "conserving battery" why not use your own battery? Thats a sporty bike so why add battery weight only to be frugal with it? I ride 20" Xootr Swift in a mountaneous environment and I manage just fine without any assist. Don't get me wrong - e-bikes have their place. But batteries add weight and dumb things down. Why have a high performance bike then add a couple kilos of motor and battery then not use it?

Thanks for doing this video! Sorry to say there has been very little positive change here in Halifax over the last six years in regards to cycling.

This was a GREAT comparison video! I've spent the better part of the weekend deciphering the Specialized website trying to understand SL, EQ, compnent groups, etc. It was great to stick with VADO and just two versions! Please boost your SEO! You should be in more feeds!

Hi quick question 🙋battery is a waterproof? Thank you 😊

Excellent review, i cant make out your accent mixture

"I just heard my banking app go ching ching so I guess Nathan was successful in finding toilet paper" - oh what a world we live in !

This is exactly what my goddamn family refused to get for a bike of mine that people ensured would get fucking stolen

Signal is useless in the UK wouldn't track any movement on the app for over halve an hour, also within a month water got in the charging port and it died, amazon refunded me wouldn't recommend this product

How do you travel with an e-bike? The battery(s) in particular seem hard to transport AFAIK since you can't fly with them.

Thanks very much for this great review. First time hearing about Arc.?Very welcome news indeed! Happy trails, stay safe.

Love your channel

really digging the Enve bar tape myself.

do you think it's worth opting for white hoods when using white bar tape to? asking for a friend

How easy is this to recharge off grid !??? Is the front wheel removeable roadside ???? ✍️🌈👍

No fenders - no sense.

thank you for your nice video and beneficial knowledge about e-Bikes, I got a Specialized Turbo Vado SL 5.0 EQ . Really it is perfect, I am a 66 years old and with 18 years of riding story, some of the standard equipment on the bike like are a little low standard and a little heavy cassette =Sram nx to Sram GX , chain Sram nx to Sram GX , Piraxis chranc Arm to Sram GX , And Nimbu Tires to,?? and Seatpost ?? To increase performance and keep the battery charge and range, I want to change and upgrade some components on my E-bike , I want to know your idea about the issue,

A nice common sense commentary on cycle way design, Recently in Edinburgh all those terrible designs have been introduced and roads that I was previously able to cycle along have become more hostile with drivers believing that they have the right to kill cyclists who don't use the cycle way. They also make turning left and right much more complicated, and if the lane doesn't allow you to travel where you want to go then tough luck. The worst offenders on the roads are non-advanced car drivers and they should be removed from the roads, not cyclists! Edinburgh is so bad now I don't even want to cycle anymore.

At last! A proper paved cycle path in England! Not gravel patch, a sheep pasture or a narrow road. I can't wait until the paved Tweed Valley Cycleway from Moffat to Berwick on Tweed is finished in 2027. A tarmac cycle path from the land of John McAdam himself. The world is waiting for this ride. See you there!

Well said!

I am in Canada and I love Brodies and have talked/typed to Paul Brodie many times. i still have a non Paul Brodie welded single speed Unibomber and a Brodie Quantum,steel .

Love this!

Cycling isn’t dangerous if motorists will be mindful that the roads are to be shared in equal rights with cyclists. However, we all know that not all motorists respect that fact. They know that cyclists have equal rights to use the roads but they don’t care. Now as to being dangerous, definitely YES. Imagine colliding with or being hit by a motor vehicle weighing tons, and the only shield you have is a helmet (hence your body is entirely exposed to trauma). This answer is not about theory but about fact. In theory it shouldn’t be dangerous, but in reality it is dangerous.

Yes, you could spend thousands of dollars on an eBike czcams.com/users/postUgkxUiL0GnyDjP32RJdd660sP8mZk4CRLTCJ and get something much higher quality. However, if you're looking for a basic model to try out eBiking this is a great choice. The assembly is easy as far as bikes go (took about an hour for me to do, I'm not an expert). All tools needed are included. I added the plastic mud guards you see and a more comfortable seat. The other reviews are correct that you're probably going to want a better seat (Giddy Up! Bike Seat is what I got - super comfortable). The battery easily handles a 2-4 hour ride if you add some of your own pedal power. I haven't even gotten it up to top speed yet - it is very fast. Components are not top of the line, but decent for the price and work just fine. It works great on dirt roads and singletrack and pavement although too heavy to do tricks or any serious technical mountain biking. I'm looking forward to using it a lot over the summer. Tons of fun!

Initial response: Got this bike for my friend. czcams.com/users/postUgkxUiL0GnyDjP32RJdd660sP8mZk4CRLTCJ Delivery was fast. And the friend was surprised I would order it when she had never suggested she wanted anything but the pedal bike she had. She has now ridden the bike two times and gives it a 10 and says it is very fun. We have some hills in our town that are very challenging to climb on a typical bike. But tonight she went up with the pedal assist and loved it. I was way behind on my standard bike, huffing and puffing. Now she is no longer lagging behind me. This thing is powerful enough that a person could go around town without any pedaling. She likes to get some exercise so on flat ground she hits the red button to turn off pedal assist and only uses the twist throttle when she's in a tough spot. The bike looks good. It is really a very nice bike for the friend. Now for me, when I get an electric bike, I'm twice her size and will be looking for a bigger watt motor and battery. But this one is just wonderful for my friend. I am happy with this purchase.

A converted bike isn't a pedelec legally, doesn't need to be as complicated,

Thank you so much for the point about the telescopic seat post and the extra stress when using it at maximum height in the seat tube. I use one because of how tall am, but there's quite a bit of spare before the safe insertion limit, so I've decided to use a small length of the height adjuster sleeve to drop the main post down, and raise the telescopic inner part with the seat clamp to the equivalent height of the 3 OR 4 sections of adjuster sleeve I'll be using, thus alleviating that stress you mention.

I watched this years ago first time, really enjoyed it as its near my home town, I still watch it and watch all your vlogs, keep up the good work, 👍🏼

I know what to look for when i’m stealing one

where can i buy this

I'm surprised you do not wear helmets, even in traffic on public highways. Not a great example to youngsters. That said, Sustrans have excelled in this venture, particularly retaining the signal box and platforms at Warmley.

Just got a Vado 5 EQ, awesome bike can tell every bit of it has been well thought about.

I love it when americans go native

Nice Comparison 👍 Just ordered the turbo Vado 4.0 😉
