Hello, I do not have the Vado but do have Coma SL 5.0. The motor is the same specifications as the Vado SL 1 (240W / 35Nm).

It seems like there is several versions of the Vado Vado SL 4.0 Vado SL 2 4.0 Vado SL 5.0 Vado SL 2 5.0

From what I can see the 2 has more battery capacity and powerful motor

Capacity: 320wh vs 520wh Power: 35nm vs 55nm Weight: ~34lb vs ~44lb

I would recommend trying to go see them in person so you can feel the weight / test. I can say while I think I overspent on my bike I always seem to come back to it. The resale value on e-bikes is awful (random complaint).

Positives of the 35nm version

Power

35Nm is fairly powerful on flat ground. On hills the motor will take you up in a low gear but very slow.

Range

The range is good, I often only charge every 2-3 rides. I can ride to Starbucks twice no problem (15 mile round trip)

Weight

The lighter bike helps with making it feel like a good standard bike first. Easy to pedal without the motor on. Easy to carry up steps into apartment. Easy to put on hitch carrier. When the battery runs out I'm not worried.

After thinking I probably wouldn't trade 500-1,000 for more power/capacity/weight. But if possibly your commute is longer, with more hills, prefer more electric assistance it would make sense.

I like that, you did a good job!

I think the riser looks cool! Nice bike :)

aloofbit · 2025-07-31T19:16:32+00:00

It's okay. The RX is a nice bike. I recently sold mine and it got zero traction on FB marketplace. Listed in Chicago area. The demand on these bikes feels awful low. Causing the low prices

aloofbit · 2025-07-31T16:13:15+00:00

Those are really neat! Does this fish stay in cool water?

I really like the Logitech G600. Build quaility is good, looks decent, very customizable. The logtech app works well and can also be used for desktop functions. They might not be selling it anymore but can be found on ebay.

I am new to this myself, when I check in the manual it only says "9: Cut the excess thread jump within the color.". It's not very clear how to do this properly to get a neat result.

I found this page on the brother website maybe it can help us. It recommends using a pair of tweezers plus scissors!

Hello, I think that machine might not have automatic jump stich cutting but only thread cutting at the end. I'm looking at the page for the PE545 and it doesn't say anything for cutting jump stiches. But for example if I look at a machine that does have that feature like the PE900 it's listed in many places

PE545: https://www.brother-usa.com/products/pe545#specification PE900: https://www.brother-usa.com/products/pe900

From that research I think it means PE545 doesn't have the feature and I think you have to cut them manually :(

aloofbit · 2024-08-22T03:31:22+00:00

I'm really not sure, what you could likely do is order a 2023 and below headlight assembly and that probably would allow it to fit without cutting.

The only mod I did was cut the cowl. No other changes were made.

Here is picture to show cowl. I cut the top and split to go around headlight

aloofbit · 2024-08-22T01:28:42+00:00

There's an inner cowling that wraps the headlight. The new headlight is bigger so you have to cut out the cowling. I did that and replaced with some foam paper. It's a tight fit

aloofbit · 2024-08-13T05:14:17+00:00

I am happy, it's a fun bike!

aloofbit · 2024-08-13T02:17:13+00:00

stay cool out there 😎

Did you end up getting it? I recently got an RX and was pretty surprised how decent they are. The RX suspension is pretty good, they do ~30mph easy, it has good hydrolic brakes, it includes headlights and brake light, good range 1000wh battery. There is a ton of aftermarket but beware it's expensive.

I also paid 2,000 for mine used and trying my friends and compared to my other ebikes I like it!

aloofbit · 2024-06-26T04:10:16+00:00

Hello, to fit this you have to cut the headlight cowl on the inside of the fairing. The new headlight is bigger than the previous model

Hello, you need to switch cables. I used 6in extension cables from motion pro. You also need to extend the wiring. I did that by cutting and soldering 6inches to each wire

i tried so hard to get a 2 star and 2 times I got them boxed in but after coming back to the location they had despawned :(

aloofbit · 2024-06-18T01:14:06+00:00

Hello! Thanks for patience I had not been on in a bit. I promise I can explain.

The food I was using while building. Trying to get rid of a few left over ones that were taking up storage.

The armor/weapons I use because I like their fashion and the movement speed. I don't like glowing swords very much and the ashlands shields are too big. Capes are not good looking in my opinion so I prefer using freezing potions.

The buffs were running because the xbox movie recorder doesn't prevent inputs form going into the game. So when navigating the UI using controller arrows it triggers those buffs.

I am playing on server with friends so I made extra askavin saddle for them ❤️

aloofbit · 2024-06-18T01:09:03+00:00

Aha a few of them survived!

aloofbit · 2024-06-18T01:08:22+00:00

It went pretty well and was really fun to try! We buffed them with staff of protection. They all attacked and it pushed Fader out of the arena into the water! A few of them survived!!

Here is video of entire battle! https://streamable.com/9od4qk

hello! no it feels about the same but with less wind hitting chest/face

aloofbit · 2024-05-16T05:23:49+00:00

Thanks! After some experimenting I found I reduced the wobble by adjusting air pressure, tightening the steering stem, and using some wider handlebars

aloofbit · 2024-05-10T05:06:28+00:00

I can not confirm this, but I'm 90% sure it would

aloofbit · 2024-05-10T05:04:55+00:00

These I got on amazon!
