I pretty sure they will send me a new hatchet, just like the one I have now. Granted, not the most comfortable model I've sat on.

Last Friday when I left work temp was at around 32F. I turn the bike on and only ECO or OFF mode work, no REGEN. I have had this occur about two weeks earlier. I wonder if this is again some temp control thing of the Turbo - when ever temp drops below freezing, disable Turbo and regen. I reset...

Update: I just received information that Specialized agrees to replace the saddle under warranty.

@jwdkhan: Thanks. Haven't given up cycling, though. Now on a normal bike because apparently the Turbo's motor broke (short circuit, bike won't stay on. Not sure if it is related to the fall.). Riding is a literally a pain, and every bump counts, however on cobblestones you lose it. Also, the...

Thanks everyone. And indeed, it's living in constant fear of sneezing or cough attacks and trying to limit hearing jokes. I guess the pain meds have some effect, placebo if nothing else.

Winter experiences. Last Friday there was the first significant snowfall. Leaving to work in the morning and looking at the forecast I was aware there was going to be maybe little snow in the afternoon but did not think it was going to be that bad. With 32F snow on the ground and slicks I...

This is how it broke. I can still ride the bike as it is not detached from the back part of the rail.

I asked the dealer about the warranty possibility. He says saddles are not covered and compared it to tires. Apparently he had previously unsuccessfully tried to get them replaced for a client from Specialized under warranty. I must say I am not completely satisfied with this answer and don't...

GeePee mentioned getting the temp reading by holding the joystick to the left for 5 secs (presumably you have the 2014 model). I have no joystick. Does anyone know how to get the temp on the old version or maybe it is not possible? Sounds like some control computer bug in GeePees bike if it...

My saddle broke so that the front attachment to the carbon rail cracked. I have no idea how or when it happened. Possibly lifting the bike from the the saddle front or turning it upside down to replace a tire. Any recommendations for a replacement saddle? I did not see the same ones being sold...

You can still get a rough idea of the battery charge status by looking at the four leds. Presumably under 25% the last led will turn off.

In Germany and Switzerland they allow the S-pedelecs (max speed 45 km/h) whereas in rest of the Europe the limit is 25 km/h (15 mph) with a power limit of 25O W. The S-pedelecs need to be registered as light mopeds and different laws apply compared to bicycles. Possibly Specialized tried to...

This seems an interesting S-pedelec alternative: https://www.haibike.com/de/de Although I have read that the Bosch middle motors make quite some noise, which I would have difficulty accepting especially after the completely silent Turbo motor. Also, the detached looking battery is not the best...

Firmware updates are possible, but you need the Turbo diagnostic tool to do them. The tool's RoPD plug (same as charger plug) attaches to the battery power socket (either will do, I guess), the other end going to the computer via std USB. I actually did a firmware update myself because my bike...

Is this shutdown bug the same overheating issue as was discussed in the Turbo issue -thread. Although apparently in your case the power loss came quite quickly rather than after 20 min of riding into heavy headwind. Maybe they have set the overheat limit too conservatively.

Concerning clothing, in winter I usually try to underdress so that I will be slightly cold at the start of the trip; that way the I am usually ok after a couple of minutes.

Did that. With regard to the loss of pairing -issue they said they don't know and suggested I should contact dealer (I was not surprised). I also asked about the issue discussed in this thread. They did confirm that the bike has a feature which turns it off if the motor overheats. I dont think...

I have noticed that at around 32F the battery % is about 3% lower after 8h. In colder weathers the drop will probably be steeper. I have understood that leaving the battery in high temp (>30C, 86F) speeds up the capacity loss drastically, but cold would not hurt other than the drop in charge level.

I can share a similar issue I had yesterday. After turning on the bike the computer went straight to Eco mode which it never does when turned on (Turbo normally). When I put it on regen I felt no drag, i.e., even if it was in that mode it really wasn't. When I tried to put it on Turbo, the...

I hear your frustration because I had exactly the same reason for getting my bike, to help in heavy wind and snow. With regard to the problem itself, I would be surprised if the current draw on the battery would be the problem. At least that would be a pretty bad design flaw if the battery could...
