5. GENERAL NOTES ABOUT ASSEMBLY

This user manual is not intended as a comprehensive use, service, repair or maintenance guide. Please see your

Authorized Specialized Retailer for all service, repairs or maintenance. Your Authorized Specialized Retailer may

also be able to refer you to classes, clinics or books on bicycle use, service, repair, and maintenance.

WARNING! Due to the complexity of the VADO SL bicycle, proper assembly requires a high degree

of mechanical expertise, skill, training and specialty tools. Therefore, it is essential for your safety

that the assembly, maintenance and troubleshooting be performed by an Authorized Specialized

Retailer. Before your ﬁrst ride, make sure your components, such as brakes and drivetrain, are

assembled and adjusted in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and are functioning

properly.

WARNING! Many components on the VADO SL, including, but not limited to the motor, battery

and cable guides, are proprietary to the VADO SL. Only use originally supplied components and

hardware at all times. Use of other components or hardware will compromise the integrity and

strength of the assembly. VADO SL speciﬁc components should only be used on the VADO SL and

not on other bicycles, even if they ﬁt. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious injury or

death.

WARNING! Never modify your frame or bicycle in any way. Do not sand, drill, ﬁle or remove parts

from your bicycle. Do not install incompatible components or hardware. Failure to follow this

warning may result in serious personal injury or death.

WARNING! Electrical components can be exposed when working on your bicycle. Do not touch

any part of the electrical system while under electric charge. Do not expose the connections of

the battery and frame to water. If any live components or the battery are damaged, stop riding

immediately and bring your bicycle to your Authorized Specialized Retailer.

5.1. SEATPOST

SEATPOST INSTALLATION - SEAT WEDGE

 Grease the bolt head and threads, as well as

the mating wedge surfaces, then assemble the

wedge.

 Slide the seatpost into the seat tube and Insert

the wedge assembly into the wedge cavity.

 Adjust the saddle height and position.

 Torque the wedge bolt to 55 in-lbf / 6.2 Nm.

TECH TIP: The ﬁt between the seatpost and the seat tube must allow the seatpost to slide into

the seat tube smoothly and without twisting, but not so loosely that there’s excessive side-to-side

play/wiggle. Any ﬁt and/or torque issues should be inspected by your Authorized Specialized

Retailer. If the seatpost does not ﬁt properly or moves in the frame even though it is torqued to

spec, you should have it inspected by your Authorized Specialized Retailer.

SEATPOST MINIMUM INSERTION:

To prevent damage to the frame and/or seatpost, it is important to have a minimum amount of seatpost insertion in

the seat tube. This minimum insertion must meet the following requirements:

The seatpost must be inserted into the frame deep enough so the minimum insertion/maximum extension (min/

max) mark on the seatpost is not visible (Fig. 5.2 A).

I live in AZ and I'm concerned about the summer heat in the garage and how it might effect the battery since the battery is not removable. Storing the bike is not an option, unfortunately. Submitted on 19-4-2022 at 18:59
