Mission Control app version 2.0 does not support the Vado/Como. I have heard no news regarding this.

With my base Turbo, I use 90% of the 691Wh battery at around 75 mi. or around 8.3 Wh/mi. with an average speed of around 15 mph. At Full Turbo with a drop back of ECO70 for the last 15%, and averaging 20-ish mph, I can go 40 mi using 95% of the battery or 16.4 Wh/mi. So for me, the averages are...

The app was dependent on firmware running in the BLOKS display. BLOKS has gone bankrupt (early July) and was clearly having problems delivering on their promises to Specialized. The longer term concern is not only no App support, but what is the longer term plan for support of the LCD and Color...

Dave, my pardon....Yes indeed, purchasers of the Vado (in particular) got screwed. The Vado was shown in prototype form in late 2016 and launched in the US market in April of 2017. As a higher end bike competing against Stromer and various BOSCH equipped bikes, Mission Control capability was...

I got this as a translation from a German publication: "On the Friday before the start of the Eurobike 2018, exactly on 06. July 2018 at 09:00 o'clock, has the electronics specialist BLOKS. have to file for bankruptcy at the Munich district court. The company, which manufactures innovative...

I ride an original TURBO with a TURBO S battery. The new Mission Control supports my bike and seems to work nicely. I don't care about ride recording or maps since I have a Garmin 1000 anyway. The sad part with the VADO and COMO is that BLOKS went into receivership in July 2018. The...

I have the smallest 200W motor and the largest 691Wh battery. The 1st gen Turbo family have excellent "ECO" controls so "in-ride" battery management can be finely applied. My range at full assist is around 42-45 miles. While I might like more power, I like the lack of battery anxiety better.

The 1st gen Turbo (200W, 250W, and 500W GoSwiss hub motors) have excellent torque sensing. BUT, they do break spokes. I find that with the 11-42T Deore XT cluster and the 200W motor, I end up using many, if not all, of the speeds to keep my cadence steady. My motor is GREAT for range and...

Indeed you are correct. When the Vado 3/5/6 were announced, the Vado 3 was going to be a 20 mph bike and the Vado 5/6 were the 28 mph bikes. Thus the gearing. When Specialized upgraded the firmware so that the Vado 3 was a Class 3 (28 mph) bike, it was undergeared. Thus, to cruise in the...

Since this a question for a Como 3, I presume you are asking about a Class 3 on paved or "developed" bike trails as opposed to off-road trails. I ride my Class 3 Turbo on bike trails all the time. You MUST watch your speed and ride appropriate to the traffic. My local trail includes horse...

I upgraded my Turbo (original) from 11-32T rear to 11-42T using the stock 48T front ring. I did exactly as you describe. I bopught two PC-1051 chains and spliced them together (originally with two masterlinks then using a pin tool) to form a 122 link chain. By the way, when using a 40T front...

Roja, the injury was not bike related. I just got permission from my doctor to start riding again. With a recent stretch of bad weather, I hope to get back on my bike real soon!

ROJA - Around 1,700 miles, but had to stop riding due to two broken Metacarpals in my right hand. The middle and ring fingers, right above the wrist...Boo!

AFAIK that is exactly what I have on my Turbo with Turbo S battery.

Bill, Yes the 691wh battery plugged right in. All original Turbo b atteries are interchangeable subject to item #2 below. I did have the local dealer set the max speed to 45kph, set the odometer, and make sure it had the newest firmware. It does have the bluetooth capability. Works well with...

I have used standard 104BCD 10 or 11-speed chain rings on my 2015 Turbo. They work fine. If you need a chain guard/bash ring, 48T 104BCD are harder to find

Your earlier Turbo S did NOT come with the 691Wh battery that the later Turbo S did. If you had the US model of the Turbo S, the 2014 model had a 504Wh battery with no bluetooth support. I recollect that a previous owner of a Turbo got an SBC-M03 as a replacement (or had one originally). When...

Craig, current Mission Control does not support the Vado.

Great job. I would agree you should do at 70 miles at Eco30. That suggests at least 50 miles at Eco40. By the way, this suggests your Eco30 is similar to my Eco40 in terms of consumption.
