I bought a German made e bike around six weeks ago (Reece and Muller) and have very nearly completed 1000 miles on it. I gave it a five-star review and have not one bad thing to say about it. Despite Teskow’s obvious dislike of customers who dare to complain, unlike the specialised bike, I...

The issue with the COMO 5 is now resolved. Having contacted Specialised UK directly and spoken to someone called Dave, the shop phoned me around 2 hours later to state if I returned the black case with the documents pertaining to bike in it, I would be given a refund. Just short of 48 hours...

Returning the Como 5 a month ago to have the rear light fixed, after it suddenly stopped working, and to also have the battery checked out due to the bikes incredibly limited range. Two weeks later they requested I return the charger, and then a week later the keys. Promising to update me last...

Done this already, and it made absolutely no difference to the bike's atrociously poor mileage. I do...

I am quite familiar with Newton's Third Law - For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction and Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. Niether of which can get this crappy Specilised battery to produced any more milage.

Hi Mcdenny The Como 5 has gone back to the shop today to get the back light fixed. They are also going to test the battery. I will let you know what happens. What Stefan Mikes said about the 15 mph limit over here helping get more milage. I don’t think that’s so, because its limited speed...

I been using Ebikes since I was 60, when some of them still had lead acid batteries. My first Ebike being from Halfords, the motor was in the front wheel and the battery slotted into the luggage rack. After my second Holfords being much the same as the first, I next purchased a Kallkoff around...
