I was expecting to like the Vado much more and had actually canceled my initial order of the como to check it out. After testing it out, for me, it was too much a duplication of my road bike which for reference weighs about 16-17 lbs. The como on the other hand was incredibly comfortable. They seemingly don't want to refer to it as a cruiser, but that is absolutely what it is. Much bigger tires, belt drive, upright seating, bigger cushioned seat, and a front basket.
The difference in the transmission is noticeable if you've never compared IGH to traditional setups. The internal hub is very smooth and can shift with you not pedaling at all; however, you have to back off a little bed in order to allow the shift to occur. This can be annoying if you're going uphill and don't want to lose momentum. Traditional setups require you to pedal to get into the next gear, but will do so much more readily under load than the IGH setup. It's also cheaper / easier to have more gears.
Fwiw, I went with the 5.0 which is also on sale to get the 8-spd setup along with a few other upgrades. For me personally, if I'm just using the bike for speed and a workout, I'll use my regular road bike. This was my logic at least.
Also, after lifting both of them, the weight difference didn't seem to be hugely noticeable despite the como being a bigger bike. It could be that some of the weight difference was eaten up by the accessories on the EQ version of the Vado SL that I tried.
Vado SL-More of a hybrid/road bike feel. Looks cooler.
Como SL-Comfortable cruiser.
