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.3 A).
The seatpost must also be inserted into the seat tube deep
enough to be visible through the sight hole (fig.3 B), or if no
sight hole is present, the insertion must meet or exceed the
minimum measured insertion depth (fig.3 B) required by the
size of the frame (see below).

5. GENERAL NOTES ABOUT RIDING
ENGLISH
The VADO/COMO motor provides pedal assistance only while you are pedaling and the bicycle is in motion. The
amount of pedal assistance will be higher or lower depending on the amount of force applied to the pedals. If you
stop pedaling, the motor will stop providing any assistance.
The VADO/COMO bicycle can also be ridden as a normal bicycle without motor assistance by switching the display
to the OFF mode. The same applies if the battery charge drops below 1%.
The VADO/COMO bicycle has a walk-assist mode (the motor engages without pedal force being applied) which is
designed to provide assistance when walking the bicycle up a hill, up to a speed of 6 km/h (3.7 mph), so long as the
+ button is pressed down.
DEUTSCH FRANÇAIS
5.1. RIDING TIPS
Because of the electric motor assist, the VADO/COMO offers a unique ride compared to a bicycle without motor
assist. Below are some riding tips which may also reduce component wear and increase battery range:
Pay attention to your speed going into a corner and be sure to stop pedaling well before entering the corner.
Otherwise you may carry too much speed as you enter the corner.
Ride efficiently and look ahead. Any time braking force is applied, more energy is needed to get the bicycle back
up to speed.
Shift gears regularly to stay in an optimal cadence range and downshift before coming to a stop.
Reduce pedal force before initiating a gear shift to reduce drivetrain wear.
Check the tire pressure regularly. Low pressure can cause the tires to roll inefficiently.
If your bicycle is exposed to cooler weather, keep the battery stored indoors until just before riding.
Do not expose your bicycle to prolonged excessive heat (e.g. direct sunlight).
Only carry the cargo you need. More cargo weight requires more energy to move.
WARNING! The motor support is activated as soon as you step onto the pedals and the bicycle
is in motion. You should be seated on the bicycle and engage at least one brake before starting
ČESKÁ
to pedal. Do not put one foot on a pedal and throw a leg over the bicycle, as it could accelerate
unexpectedly. Failure to follow this warning may result in serious personal injury or even death.
WARNING! The acceleration of an electric bicycle can be faster than anticipated and may feel
unusual at first. Before your first ride, you should use the lowest power ECO mode and become
familiar with the operation of the electric bicycle by practicing starting and stopping, cornering
and navigating obstacles in a safe environment away from other bicycles, pedestrians and/or
vehicles. Due to the greater acceleration of an electric bicycle, you should also pay particular
attention to terrain conditions as you may approach obstacles faster than expected. Please note
the default motor support mode upon startup is always SPORT mode.
SLOVENSKI HRVATSKA
CAUTION: The weight of your VADO/COMO is significantly higher than a bicycle without motor
support. Use caution when handling the bicycle (including, but not limited to parking, lifting,
pushing, loading it into a car or onto a bicycle carrier and unloading it).
CAUTION: Do not ride your VADO/COMO without the battery installed. Riding without a battery
may damage exposed electrical components.

5.2. BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE
Regardless of your experience level, you should read the “FIRST” section of your Owner’s Manual (Bike Fit, Safety
First, Mechanical Safety Check and First Ride) and carry out all important safety checks. In addition, make sure you
are familiar with the following areas of the bicycle that are specific to electric bicycles.
BEFORE EVERY RIDE
Battery
• Are all connections plugged in correctly?
• Do you have sufficient battery charge?
• Is the battery properly inserted and locked in the frame?
Display
• Is the display functioning correctly?
BEFORE YOUR FIRST RIDE
Battery
• Is the battery fully charged?
Display
• Are you familiar with the function of the display features?
Remote
• Are you familiar with the function of the buttons on the remote?
• Do you know how to use the remote to change the motor support level from ECO to SPORT to TURBO?
WARNING! If your battery, charger or other component exhibits any signs of damage, do not use
the bicycle and immediately bring it to your Authorized Specialized Retailer for inspection.
WARNING! Specialized bicycles are only designed and tested for use by one person at a time.
Carrying a child on your Specialized bicycle is at your own risk. If you choose to install an
accessory on your Specialized bicycle such as a trailer, carrier, or trailer cycle, make sure it is
compatible and refer to the manufacturer’s instructions and your Authorized Specialized Retailer.
You should make sure your bicycle is still safe to ride with the accessory installed. Be sure to not
exceed the structural weight limit of the bicycle if you use a trailer, trailer cycle or child carrier.
Also make sure not to exceed the maximum cargo weight if you use a child carrier.
WARNING! Riding with kids on your bicycle will affect the handling by altering the center of gravity,
weight and balance. It may also negatively impact your cornering ability, increase your stopping
distance and reduce your ability to slow down and maneuver, especially at higher speeds or down
a steep grade. All of this can result in a loss of control, potentially causing serious injury and/or
death. You should also become familiar with and practice riding with the accessory in a controlled
environment away from traffic.
WARNING! Do not attach a child carrier, trailer or similar accessory to a composite or carbon
fiber part or component, either directly or indirectly. For example, do not attach a trailer to a rear
axle when the rear triangle is made of composite or carbon fiber. Likewise, do not attach a trailer
cycle bicycle to a composite or carbon seatpost or a child carrier to a composite or carbon fork.
Either may potentially apply unusual forces on your bicycle frame or component which could
result in damage and cause a complete failure, with the risk of serious injury or death. If you have
previously attached an accessory to a composite or carbon fiber part or component, do not ride
until you have had your Authorized Specialized Retailer conduct a careful safety inspection.
Before riding with kids on your bicycle, please inform yourself of all applicable legal requirements
and regulations in your country and state. There may be restrictions on riding your bicycle with
certain or any accessory(ies). This is especially true for electric and pedal-assist bicycles.

6. GENERAL NOTES ABOUT MAINTENANCE
ENGLISH
The VADO/COMO is a high performance bicycle. All regular maintenance, troubleshooting, repair and parts
replacement must be performed by an Authorized Specialized Retailer. For general information regarding
maintenance of your bicycle, please refer to the Owner’s Manual. In addition, routinely perform a Mechanical Safety
Check before each ride, as described in the Owner’s Manual.
Great care should be taken to not damage carbon fiber or composite material. Any damage may result in a
loss of structural integrity, which may result in a catastrophic failure. This damage may or may not be visible
in inspection. Before each ride, and after any crash, you should carefully inspect your bicycle for any fraying,
gouging, scratches through the paint, chipping, bending, or any other signs of damage. Do not ride if your bicycle
DEUTSCH FRANÇAIS
shows any of these signs. After any crash, and before you ride any further, take your bicycle to an Authorized
Specialized Retailer for a complete inspection.
While riding, listen for any creaks, as a creak can be a sign of a problem with one or more components.
Periodically examine all surfaces in bright sunlight to check for any small hairline cracks or fatigue at stress
points, such as welds, seams, holes, and points of contact with other parts. If you hear any creaks, see signs of
excessive wear, discover any cracks, no matter how small, or any damage to the bicycle, immediately stop riding
the bicycle and have it inspected by your Authorized Specialized Retailer.
Lifespan and the type and frequency of maintenance depends on many factors, such as use, rider weight,
riding conditions and/or impacts. Additionally, the VADO/COMO uses a power-assisted drive system, which
means more distance is covered in the same amount of time. Components may be subject to increased wear at
different rates, depending on the component. Drivetrain and brake components are especially subject to wear.
Periodically have your Authorized Specialized Retailer inspect your bicycle and components.
Exposure to harsh elements, especially salty air (such as riding near the ocean or in the winter), can result in
galvanic corrosion of components such as the crank spindle and bolts, which can accelerate wear and shorten
the lifespan. Dirt can also accelerate wear of surfaces and bearings. The surfaces of the bicycle should be
cleaned before each ride. The bicycle should also be maintained regularly by an Authorized Specialized Retailer,
which means it should be cleaned, inspected for signs of corrosion and/or cracks and lubricated. If you notice
any signs of corrosion or cracking on the frame or any component, the affected item must be replaced.
Regularly clean and lubricate the drivetrain according to the drivetrain manufacturer’s instructions.
ČESKÁ
Do not use a high pressure water spray directly on the bearings. Even water from a garden hose can penetrate
bearing seals and crank interfaces, increasing bearing and crank wear. Use a clean, damp cloth and bicycle
cleaning agents for cleaning.
Do not expose the bicycle to prolonged direct sunlight or excessive heat, such as inside a car parked in the sun
or near a heat source such as a radiator.
WARNING! Failure to follow the instructions in this section may result in damage to the components
on your bicycle and will void your warranty, but, most importantly, may result in serious personal injury
SLOVENSKI HRVATSKA
or death. If your bicycle exhibits any signs of damage, do not use it and immediately bring it to your
Authorized Specialized Retailer for inspection.
WARNING! When placing the frame and/or bicycle in a repair stand, clamp the stand to the
seatpost and not the frame. Clamping the frame can cause damage to the frame that may or may
not be visible, and you may lose control and fall.
WARNING! Always turn off the battery when not in use and/or when working on it.
CAUTION: Do not open the motor assembly. The motor assembly is a sealed maintenance-free
system. Any work on the motor assembly must be performed by a Specialized Service Center.
Your bicycle should be inspected and serviced by your Authorized Specialized Retailer on a regular
basis, depending on use. The first inspection should be performed within 200 km / 120 miles. See
detailed service schedule on page 28.

7. REPLACING PARTS ON YOUR L1e-B S-PEDELEC
The VADO/COMO bicycle, as originally spec’d, is approved as a Pedelec or an L1e-B S-Pedelec. If you change
components on the bicycle, it may no longer be approved by your local regulatory authority Below is a general
summary of components that may affect governmental approval if changed.
Make sure to consult with your local regulatory authority when making any modifications. Refer also to the
appropriate section in the Owner’s Manual about changing components or adding accessories.
S-PEDELEC ONLY: The following parts are type approved and need to carry an e-mark:
PEDELEC AND S-PEDELEC: The following parts must only be replaced with original components:

8. SYSTEM INTERFACE
ENGLISH
Depending on the model, the VADO is equipped with either an LCD display or a TFT touch-enabled display.
The COMO models are equipped with an LCD display.
WARNING! Use caution when viewing or using the display while riding, especially if the touch
controls are enabled, as it can be distracting and can lead to accidents. You should always stop
before changing settings or operating the various functions of the display.
45 km/h VADO: The display must be connected when operating the bike. If it is removed from the mount, the motor
will not work.

LIGHT/HORN: Turns the light on/off (25 km/h or 20 MPH USA models) or activates the horn (45 km/h models).
The light/horn spec may vary depending on the bike model and country requirements.
The support modes affect how much support the motor delivers based on your pedaling input.
Generally, more support provides faster acceleration and easier climbing at the expense of shorter
range and greater chance of wheelspin. Lower power modes that provide less support result in
longer battery run times, longer range, and more control in situations where traction is limited. You
should experiment with the power settings that work best for your riding style and conditions.

performing work of any kind, such as installation, maintenance, cleaning and/or repair. When transporting or
handling the battery separately from the bicycle, ensure the battery is OFF. Touching the contacts when the
battery is ON can result in electric shock and/or injury.
Before riding the bicycle, make sure the battery is properly secured in the frame.

WARNING! Failure to follow the instructions in this section may result in damage to electrical
components on your bicycle and will void your warranty, but, most importantly, may result in
serious personal injury or death. If your battery or charger exhibits any signs of damage, do not
use it and immediately bring it to your Authorized Specialized Retailer for inspection.
The battery can be charged whether installed in the bicycle or not. Refer to the appropriate
instructions regarding removing and installing the battery. Only charge the battery at an ambient
temperature between 0° C and +50° C (+32° F and +122° F). If outside temperatures are too hot or
too cold, charge the battery inside. For safety reasons, if the battery is too hot, it will not charge.

Plug the charger’s plug into an outlet (100 - 240V), using the appropriate plug for the country’s standards.
Uncover the charging socket on the battery, then connect the charging plug with the charging socket on the
battery (fig.5). You should charge the battery in an area with a smoke detector.
When charging is complete, disconnect the charging plug from the battery socket.
Unplug the charger from the wall socket.
During the charging process, the diode on the charger will glow red (fig.6). When the battery is fully charged, the
diode on the charger will turn green.
CAUTION: If the red LED flashes during the charging process, a charging error has occurred. In
that case, immediately remove the charger from the socket, discontinue use of the motor support
and contact your Authorized Specialized Retailer.
Please note that Li-ion batteries gradually lose capacity depending on age and use. Strongly
reduced operating time after charging can be a sign that the battery is reaching the end of its
useful life and has to be replaced. Provided the bicycle has been used properly, approximately
75% of the battery’s original capacity should remain after 300 charging cycles or two years.
Replacement batteries can be purchased from your Authorized Specialized Retailer.
21
At 10% battery charge remaining, the system will start to reduce the amount of support. At 1%, the system switches
off the motor support.
ENGLISH
If your bicycle is at a standstill for at least 10 minutes, the Battery Management System will switch the system off. In
order to continue riding with support, you have to switch the system on again.

9.6. CLEANING
Always turn the battery off and remove the charger from the battery before cleaning the bicycle. Remove the battery
from the bicycle before cleaning the battery.
Always unplug the charger from the battery and the wall socket before cleaning.
CAUTION: Never use a high-pressure cleaner when cleaning your VADO/COMO. Instead, use a dry
or slightly damp cloth. Please ensure no water comes into contact with the electrical components
while washing. Ask your Authorized Specialized Retailer for additional information about cleaning
your bicycle.
CAUTION: Do not use alcohol, solvents or abrasive cleaners to clean the charger or battery.
Instead, use a dry or slightly damp cloth.
9.7. STORAGE
CAUTION: If the battery is not being used for an extended period of time, remove the battery from
the frame and store it in a dry, well ventilated area and leave it uncovered. Only store the battery
at an ambient temperature between -20° C and +35° C (-4° F and +95° F). If outside temperatures
are too hot or too cold, store the battery inside.
CAUTION: If the battery is stored and not in use for extended periods of time, be sure to charge the
battery at least every three months so at least 2 LEDs (20-39%) are glowing green. If the battery
is not charged over a period longer than three months, it can cause damage to the battery.
Do not leave the battery connected to the charger for extended periods after the battery is
charged.

9.10. TRANSPORT
Transporting and/or shipping your VADO/COMO battery may be subject to certain restrictions and
may require special handling, labelling, and/or packaging. Be sure to inform yourself beforehand
of all applicable legal requirements and regulations in your country or state. Your Authorized
Specialized Retailer may also have helpful information available. When carrying the battery
outside the frame, you should use an approved battery transport box.
CAUTION: Be aware that your VADO/COMO bicycle is significantly heavier than a bicycle without
motor support. Use caution when handling, carrying or lifting your VADO/COMO bicycle.
9.11. DISPOSAL
Batteries and chargers must not be disposed of in your household trash! All batteries
and chargers must be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner, in accordance
LI-
ION with the battery disposal regulations in your country or state. Ask your Authorized
Specialized Retailer for information about how to dispose of a battery or charger and
any applicable take-back program.
10. LIGHTING
Some VADO/COMO models are equipped with an LED headlight and taillight.
11 12
The headlight (fig.11) is wired to the battery system and turns on when the bike is turned on.
RACK-EQUIPPED MODELS: The taillight (fig.12) is wired through the rack and fender. Removal of the rack and/or
fender will result in no longer having a taillight charged and powered by the bicycle’s battery.
The headlight and taillight spec may vary depending on the bike model and country requirements.
For models equipped with a taillight, it can be located on the rear rack or under the saddle.

11. SPECIFICATIONS
ENGLISH
11.1. BOLT SIZE / TORQUE SPECS
WARNING! Correct tightening force on fasteners (nuts, bolts, screws) on your bicycle is important
for your safety. If too little force is applied, the fastener may not hold securely. If too much force is
applied, the fastener can strip threads, stretch, deform or break. Either way, incorrect tightening
force can result in component failure, which can cause you to lose control and fall.
Where indicated, ensure that each bolt is torqued to specification. After your first ride, and
consistently thereafter, recheck the tightness of each bolt to ensure secure attachment of the
components. The following is a summary of torque specifications in this guide:

WARNING! VADO/COMO frames are compatible only with VADO/COMO rigid forks or suspension
forks with 50mm maximum fork travel. Use of different forks negatively affect geometry and ride
quality, and, most importantly, may result in catastrophic failure of the frame which may result in
serious personal injury or death.
Because of the extra weight of the VADO/COMO, as a rule of thumb, tire pressure should generally
be higher compared to a regular bicycle.
