Hi, I've tried today. It's not that easy to get used to it ; then the rain made my training even more difficult...

How can we really know the reliability of a motor ?

I do ! :p It's pretty difficult to do in some situations (hills, roundabouts...!) however.

It's quite simple: for example, my right leg is straight and the bike is leaning to the right because I'm turning right... and the pedal is rubbing the ground. I shouldn't have my right leg straight at that moment, but sometimes, when riding, in traffic, with obstacles, speed, well, it happens...

It's pretty hard to get used to having the inner leg up, I feel like I don't have good balance. I was wondering if it was normal because it's happened to two other people I've lent the bike to, and I find it a bit dangerous.

Hello, The pedals sometimes rub in some corners when I'm leaning a little too far. Is this normal? Exactly how long should the cranks be? (Turbo Como)

But I can see this on my screen ? Anyway, I've never heard of a 2,8x assistance for my bike. It's really clearer this way... So, I can simulate a Como SL pretty easily, I have just to tune a little bit. Very fun toy ! That pretty much sums up how I feel on the bike! I don't like the "Turbo"...

I don't get this ; I often see something like "Power ratio : 3,6" or even "4" ? So, the "Eco mode" is about 1x assistance. Why ? How do you know that exactly ?

Yes, the bike is still under warranty for 20 months. But I have to go a long way (without a car) to find a store that supports this brand, and they charge a lot for maintenance and checks (and I'll be honest, I didn't like the times I went there). I'm afraid I'll have to “hope the engine breaks”...

Hi, What about the belt not being totally protected ? Should I print something like that ? https://www.printables.com/model/904843-specialized-como-sl-chain-guard-gates-belt

Yeah, great...\o/ I got lots of problems with this bike...Honestly, I wanted reliability, but I wonder if I shouldn't have bought from the big dealers who offer lifetime warranties...

Was it regular? I heard a few “clonks” especially when I was pedaling hard. I “felt” the noise in my foot, as if the pedal had “jumped”; it's done it to me 5 or 6 times so far...

What kind of "noise" does it make ? Because mine 2.0 can make a high-pitched noise in Turbo mode. Should I be worried ? 2200 miles is really not a lot...I want to keep this bike at least 10 years, I didn't spend that much to have a problem after two years...

Hi, I was riding my Como 3 today and was trying to get a “Power Ratio” of 2 (50% power). I was doing this because I can't find a reseller who has a Como SL and I've often read that this bike gives twice the cyclist's power. Is this a more or less reliable way of finding out how much electric...

Yeah, I guess, I don't really know the usual prices.
