    Sounds like you live in Queensland where Marcia is visiting.

    Here on the south coast (60.21N, 24.98E) we're having a mellow 39F with almost all the snow gone already. Being February, this can of course change and suddenly we'll have 50 cm snow.

    Turbo (2013) Saddle

    I admit I am not a bike seat expert, so to me you could sell almost any ass hatchet and ask 2OO for it. But I did not think this one was uncomfortable, at least during my relatively short commute. I might think differently on a longer journey.

    Motor malfunction

    Yes, indeed, since Nov I have been trying to diagnose the bike malfunction. Basically, I have used the Specialized computer diagnosis system to try to get some idea where the problem is. If the software reports that everything else is ok but the motor is offline, my immediate conclusion is that...

    New Turbo Rider

    I took few shots of the rack's rear light on and in the last right after when lights are turned off.

    Turbo (2013) Saddle

    Here's a couple of shaky shots of my new seat. My original carbon railed Turbo seat was light weight but this one is really light.

    Motor malfunction

    The light change should not be so hard but in my case it got overly complicated because of the short or tied internal cable. In normal situation simply opening the cable stop hex and simply pull out the connector, no sweat.

    New Turbo Rider

    Oh yes! I forgot to say that even though the build quality is good, they are not perfect. I agree totally with their lack of protecting from front wheel sprays. My feet are always wet when it is raining. And here in winter it is almost always wet streets if not sub zero. I have been trying to...

    New Turbo Rider

    Hi and welcome! At least here they sell the whole set for about 200$: (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) Schutzblech Vorne + Hinten und Gepäckträger = mudguards front + back and rack I have one I think it is a high quality set. If you open a bigger picture on the page you can see that on the...

    Motor malfunction

    Further update: After months, the problem has finally been solved. The part that was causing the error was the front light, or rather its partially severed cable. I had no idea that the whole system could halt just because of a faulty light. I received a replacement light from Specialized...

    This is what is said on the battery university pages: "Li‑ion batteries offer reasonably good charging performance at cooler temperatures and allow fast-charging in a temperature bandwidth of 5 to 45°C (41 to 113°F). Below 5°C, the charge current should be reduced, and no charging is permitted...

    I have read that Tesla is by about 20% drop in range in winter conditions. Wouldnt be surprised if that were true also for Turbo, especially when it gets in to subzero temps (C). In normal temperature headwind usually accounts for a few more percents when compared to no wind, so I doubt that a...

    If that was Fahrenheit, pretty chilly already. Have you noticed any big drops in charge after the bike is in that temp for a longer while.

    Turbo (2013) Saddle

    I received a replacement seat (Body Geometry Turbo, hollow Cr-Mo rails), which is not what I had (see above). The rails in my ex seat were carbon and they are much wider than the Cr-Mo rails in the current model. Fearing that the rails will not tighten to my current attachment the dealer agreed...

    Motor malfunction

    Update: I got a replacement back wheel and installed it. To my disappointment it seems completeley "stuck", i.e., it does not freewheel at all. Actually it takes considerable force to make it move. And this is before connecting it electrically. After the motor is connected (still no movement), I...

    The plowing of snow from the roads to the bike lanes is a common topic of complaints the city is getting. They may have actually plowed the bike lane just fine earlier but then do the car side and the snow will fly in a big arc to the bikers' side.

    Have you noticed a big change in power consumption when riding with studded tires? I am still to install my replacement wheel and seat. They arrived already about a week ago, but I had to postpone picking them up because of travels. BTW, when installing the 42 mm wide studded tire on the rim I...

    Turbo (2013) Saddle

    SADDLE 2014: Body Geometry Turbo, hollow Cr-Mo rails 2013: Specialized Body Geometry Targa Pro, carbon rails, 155mm So, it seems that at least the rails have changed from carbon to metal. I dont know if "Targa Pro" is otherwise different from "Turbo".
