my 2020 is class 3 but also has a sticker in the zip case class 1. if i could find another 2020 5.0 i'd buy it. never been on a more comfortable bike. plus i can't get to liking the new como design

NY public service announcements about nuclear war and how to prepare and have a go bag ready to evacuate....

they're fun and i laugh at wind and hills....nuf said

you need a different geometry bike or smaller frame. you can add and change things but i don't think thats going to change your pain.

como bars have cables integrated inside. not likely easy to change

these bikes just hit the market. parts are a long way off

i had a SL for 2 weeks. once i rode the normal como 4x i got the como 5.0 . lighter weight is ok but the speed is what changed my mind. the extra weight isn't noticeable

i've had a como 5.0 for a couple years and think its perfect for me but looking at the 2022 como i thinks its a disaster poorly designed. doesn't have the same geometry and doesn't look good for comfortable long rides

personally i think the 2022 como is a mistake in design

specialized has been short on parts for years.

you're not going to find much if anything E in your price range. i've seen electric conversions on tiktok but they were in asia and who knows if they would work or available or even parts i think most mountain Ebikes are rated by time instead miles. most non-name brand have inferior E setups.

replace the tire and tube doesn't cost that much. some tires have kevlar that might help in the future

i read all the time the most towed cars are electric...buyer beware
