When I got my Como 5, the first thing I had my LBS do was switch out the Specialized handlebars for my preferred aftermarket handlebars off my old analogue Cannondale. The LBS didn't seem to have a problem with the fit of the handlebars, but that might have been dumb luck that the old...

This discussion of low pedals and pedal strikes while riding is interesting. I have a Turbo Como low entry and I've never experienced having a pedal strike the ground during turns. I'm glad I now know that it is a possibility.

I have a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra and a 2020 Turbo Como 5.0 so it's happening across phone OS and bike models.

Yep, that was the first thing I tried. Actually, to force the upgrade, I uninstalled the app on my phone and downloaded and installed a fresh app from Google Play.

See my comment about my app suddenly showing the correct percentage. I didn't think about having done that until I read your comment.

Sooooo, in the middle of my ride today, as I literally was peddling along, the battery level stat started showing the correct percentage. I just happened to be looking at my phone at the precise moment and watched the battery level stat suddenly switch from 100% to 64% and then continue to show...

Thanks for your response. A long time ago, I had set the battery level stat to display in one of the cells in the "Stats" window of the app during the ride. The stat that had been accurately reflecting the change in the battery level ever since then. Suddenly, without changing anything in...

You are right. In a world where (bombastic movie announcer voice describing something terrible), whether or not that one stat works is a small thing. :)

Hello Everyone, I have a perplexing Mission Control Glitch. In the "Stats" window of the app, when the app is connected to my Turbo Como 5, the reading for "Percent Battery Remaining" display option is no longer updating during rides. Consequently, for the duration of the ride, the % Battery...

I have a 2020 Turbo Como, which (I think, because I'm not well-versed in bike specs) has no front suspension. There might have been a redesign of the model between the 2019 and 2020 models so my experience might not be exactly comparable with the 2019 owner's experience. Also, there is a 2022...

I have a heavier Specialized Turbo Como 5 that is meant to be ridden as a powered bike. I have ridden it as an analogue bike (both with battery attached and without battery attached) on occasion. As you might expect, I sacrificed cadence, speed, and ride duration because I'm not a particularly...

My question is, "Is an ebike without a battery to power the electric assist motor or with an inoperative electric assist motor still an ebike?" This question arose out of an interesting discussion of class 1 and class 3 ebikes between a group of cyclists randomly assembled at a trailhead. I...

You asked a question, and then you answered your own question. No stupid questions in my book so no harm, no foul.

Been wondering about this and other similar things. Thanks for making this post.

I recently destroyed the battery on my 2020 Turbo Como. While unlocking the battery to remove it from the frame, I lost my balance. As I caught myself to prevent a fall, the key slid along the battery case, and dislodged the magnetic charging well cover. The key touched the leads of the battery...

I'll be interested to hear about this as well. I have started using my vehicle bike rack to elevate the bike for cleaning/lubing because I haven't found a rack that will support my e-bike without tipping. The vehicle rack works to elevate the bike and allows me to wash the bike and clean/lube...

Thanks for your response. My bike shop suggested this but said they don't have an existing Specialized Como to use for the trade. Dang!

Hi everyone, I have a Specialized Turbo Como. I LOVE this bike except the battery stopped recharging. My bike shop has been super helpful working through troubleshooting and warranty matters with Specialized. Specialized is replacing the battery under the warranty. (Thank you, Specialized!)...
