    Just purchased a 2016 Base Turbo

    Sounds like you are having a great time riding with your daughter Doug, that's great! Here is something I said in an earlier post: I have never liked straight bars, they are not comfortable for me. After a couple of thousand miles on my first e bike with them I ended up with tennis elbow from...

    Let's see your best pic of your electric bicycle

    A shot along my ride home today. I'm kind of shooting blind with the point and shoot I carry on my bike, I can't see the screen very well. I shouldn't of had the bar end line up with the tip of the saddle. I guess that's the problem with a Working Photographer taking snap shots...... I am going...

    Anyone using the schwalbe Supreme 2.0 Tire

    Beautiful bike. I thought they looked strange at first, but I've grown to love the reflective sidewalls. It's amazing how visable they are in many situations. How do you like the Body Float? My Thudbuster rattles like crazy, I'm not happy with it's durability. I need to see if I can adapt my...

    Just purchased a 2016 Base Turbo

    Hi Doug, I can answer a couple of your questions. I too am a new owner of a 2016 base model, I have had it a couple if months.....approaching 1,300 miles. I am also a road biker coming from vintage steel racing bikes all Camy. The Turbo was the only ebike that felt anything like what I was...

    Love My Turbo X so much, I just wanted a place to say so...

    Cool, great to hear ! I love my new base model Turbo too. I've had it about 2 months and I've clocked over 1,200 miles. I love riding it, so transparent and fluid. Safe travels!

    2013 Turbo Experiences

    I'm running these right now. (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) Narrow one's 700×35's. I ordered 37's and they sent the narrower one's. I decided to try them as I came from road bikes with really narrow tires, and I got Really cheap from Jet. They work really well for me. No flats through goat...

    2013 Turbo Experiences

    Bummer you couldn't put on the chain keeper off the new bikes. My 2016 base model never drops the chain. If you are trying to smooth out the ride try some better tires. Schwable tires have transformed by bike. So much faster and smoother. I'm running Energizer Pros. Thudbuster works well too.

    New Turbo staying cool in Morro Bay

    Sounds like fun! Are you new to the Turbo, or have you had it a while.......are you familiar with the range and characteristics of the bike? Also, which model Turbo? I can get 45-50 miles out of mine without trying to conserve. I'm sure probably 60 if I was milage conscious. It's going to take...

    Seat Light Removal?

    The seat light is removable I believe.......just from looking at it. It would be a matter of adapting it to your existing seat. I changed my seat post to a Thudbuster, the wire that is routed through the post unplugs below the post in the frame. There is enough extra wire to easily get to it...

    Can the Turbo S battery (691Wh) used in Turbo X?

    I'm pretty sure I heard the guy from Specialized that gave Cort the tour said that all of the Turbo batteries are compatible. Weather you can buy it from Specialized is another matter. If you find out please let us know.

    A little extra light on the Turbo

    Glad they are working well for you Dave! Iv'e bee using the fast flashing mode on mine while ride at dusk. My wife passed me in her car last night and said I was very visible without being too obnoxious. I have had complaints form pedestrians at night, even with just the Supernova E3, especially...

    Stromer ST2 Pulsing (Please vote)

    That's exactly how I have been discribing my 2016 Turbo base model. How's the suspension seat post? I've been using the Thudbuster which I like, but I need to rebuild it already, just over a year old. About 4k of road miles and I'm only 150lbs..... I guess I'm not thrilled with its durability...

    A little extra light on the Turbo

    Awesome, let me know what you think. I'm going to get a second one and do the same. I've been using mine as a work light too, easy to get in tight spaces. Great soft bright light source. Safe riding!

    First Commute on Turbo X

    I actually put on smaller tires, I currently am running 700 x 35c Schwalbe Energizer Pros, that is why I thought my speedo would be off a bit. I do hit top speed fairly often and the strange thing is I don't always get the "brakes came on feeling". I think maybe it's because it's almost always...

    First Commute on Turbo X

    I'm glad you enjoyed your commute Logan. I finally talked to Specialized today about firmware. There is no update for 2016, the marketing on the web site is incorrect, the 200w base model motors cuts out at 26 mph. If you need the additional motor help maybe the Protour will be better for you...
