Specialized Vado and Como IGH E-Bikes Have Defective Chain Guards
Vidcast: https://www.instagram.com/drhowardsmithreports/reel/DICGjntO66H/
These bikes’ protective chains or belt guards fail to fully cover the belt drive permitting loose clothing to become trapped and cause a fall. The affected models include the Como 3.0 IGH, Como 5.0 IGH UL, Vado 3.0 IGH Step Through UL, Como SL 4.0, Vado 3.0 IGH UL, and several others.
About 32,400 of these e-bikes were sold in the United States, with additional units sold in Canada and Mexico. They were sold at authorized Specialized Bicycle retailers nationwide and online from March 2021 through November 2024.
Stop riding these e-bikes and contact your nearest authorized Specialized retailer for free installation of an updated protective chain/belt guard. For more information, contact Specialized Bicycle Components at 1-877-808-8154 or email the company at [email protected].
