Specialized has a rack that is designed specifically for the "Roll" series of comfort bike and the Como bikes. We had them installed on our 2020 3.0 models. https://www.specialized.com/us/en/roll-rack/p/156045?color=230947-156045
These photos show it mounted on both the small frame low-entry...
We don't have enough experience yet to really answer your questions, but here are two data points.
I have a new 2020 Como 3.0 which has the 1.2 motor and a 460-Wh battery. I weigh 195-lbs. Did a 32-mile ride yesterday on a rail-trail with only moderate climbs (~600-ft of total elevation gain)...
Must be something like that since I'm apparently I'm the only one here who's received a set... I'm take 'em to my dealer sometime and see if they know.
New Como 3.0 owner with an odd question. These two parts were in the charger box of one of the two Como bikes we picked up yesterday. I’m stumped trying to figure out what they are. Anyone know?
Some Specialized 2020 models are available now. Vado and Como for sure - our two 2020 Como bikes should be ready today. On the shopping pages at Specialized.com for those models you can select to filter for 2020 or 2019 models. Como is similar geometry to an Electra, but they don't have any...
From my study on this question I’m pretty sure the 2020 3.0 was downspeced from ‘19 3.0 (28-mph) to the same components and specs as the ‘19 model 2.0, which is a 20-mph bike. 2.0 was dropped for 2020. I have two 2020 3.0 Comos arriving in the next few days and will confirm then.
I’m a “senior” also and am almost exactly your size, same height and 5-lb heavier. My test ride was on a ‘19 model Como 2.0 in the “M/L” size and I thought it was perfect. Have a 2020 Como 3.0 on order in that size so final verdict not in yet.
New to this forum and thread and thought I'd post some observations and a question. My bride and I test rode '18 and '19 model Como 2.0's at the LBS and both came back with grins ear-to-ear. We've been bike riders for years, but in our upper 60's now our needs in frame geometry have changed...
