Pretty sure only the 2015 Turbo X is ~$2700 for remaining stock. The 2016 got reduced from $4500 to $4000 not that long ago.

@Riogrand He just posted throttle is not optional. Tho, you probably knew this, class 1 & 2 are the only legal ebikes in Minnesota. I ride a class 3, but if ever in an accident on a street/trail, just let it be known you are riding a vehicle that is not legally a bicycle and cannot legally be...

Thanks @Bicyclista. Speaking from my own ignorance there. I was not aware of suspension-corrected frames. I heard Court mention adding one in his 2017 Sumo review (he didn't specifically say you could properly do so—only that some may want to).

Yes, our selection of eBike dealers in Minnesota is pretty thin. Those that do sell eBikes rarely carry much stock and often means you will still have to buy sight unseen. I am personally considering the Specialized Turbo Levo HT Comp Fat that @Ravi Kempaiah mentioned. It is among my top...

Never forget, the Rosenberger interface is magnetic! Stuffed my battery in my backpack while taking the Turbo X on the bus today. Got to my destination and eBike wouldn't turn on. Did the recommended remove battery and power on/off removed from the bike, but nothing worked. What happened? A...

It's either a bike ad or a smart phone ad.

Very nice conversion @Goodair!

2000 mile update: Spring is here and entering the new riding season with 2,000 miles on the OD. I have to say, this bike has not lost its luster, in my eye. The motor and battery range continue to impress me and since having the brakes swapped under warranty, I've had not mechanical issues...

For Physical Damage/Theft from Velosurance w/$200 deductible is $265 for me. I think @ronin2000 is correct, theft rates in an area is probably as big a factor as replacement cost.

Wet weather performance really depends on the bike. I'm a year round rider in Minnesota and never met a thunderstorm that kept me from riding my 2015 Specialized Turbo-X. I don't even think about it and haven't had a problem. I think most large manufacturers found out long ago that people ride...

Here is the non-U.S. 4.0 version: 3.0

Great to see them on the site. Sadly, I am still underwhelmed by these new bikes.

What do you mean by off-road? Hard packed dirt trails? Mud? Grass? Something you can take out on the weekends to the mountain bike trails? Pretty much any bike can "go" off-road, but tires and suspension are going to be two of the biggest factors to how enjoyable it is. For commuting, do you...

My original Turbo brakes were pretty bad. For me, the rear brake was the worst of the two. I didn't need the bike bell because my brakes would announce my approach. After they failed (both brakes went dead at nearly the same time), my LBS got them replaced under warranty. The new brakes are...

Been joining group rides in the Twin Cities, MN, joining the 30DaysofBiking Joyful Riders Club (A pledge to ride every day in April). Everybody loves the Turbo and thinks eBikes are cool. If you're on Twitter, you can follow my adventures @eBikeSTP https://twitter.com/eBikeSTP

@ronin2000 I would contact a Specialized Dealer or possibly any dealer that sells RockShox forks. They may be able to confirm for you.

If you've ever locked your bike up, chances are you've locked it to a Dero bike rack. http://www.bicycleretailer.com/north-america/2017/04/10/dero-moves-new-facilty-expands-bike-rack-manufacturing

Thanks @JayVee. The Levo Comp Fat is certainly drool worthy, but certainly not setup for commuters. Just looking at the cost of swapping out for two 26x4.6" studded tires at well over $200 a piece makes me cringe. As far as carrying stuff, I'd probably have to add a beam rack or one of those...

The saddle is a Specialized Body Geometry Turbo, but the light is a Supernova E3 tail light. Custom made for the Turbos. I doubt they sell it separately. But you can buy the tail light if you can find a way to mount it.

Time for an update! Since I received my 2015 Specialized Turbo-X at the beginning of August last year, I still love riding this bike almost every day. The only exceptions have been when it was in for service @ ~1,200 miles and had warranty work done on the brakes. That and about 5 days where...
