There was a video of a battery repair specialist taking one apart - that was when I started to seriously question whether to go with specialized, but on balance there were other benefits mainly around warranty support. They get alot right, but charging that much for a battery of low quality is...

Sorry I meant Bosch

So nearly 1 week in on my new Tero 5 First things first, in XL size, the bike is an absolute beast - it doesn't fit into the cycle locker in our road which is a major issue :( Im Ok for the moment as I can hang it across 2 bays, but long term it looks like I will have to take the front wheel off...

This was my main worry over buying Specialized the price of their batteries is outrageous and even more worryingly, the quality of the cells they use leaves alot to be desired, I use better quality 18650 in my vape :( Other motor manufacturers have battery systems that are much more reasonably...

Having just bought a bike via cyclescheme only last week I can state that you can add funds if you want. Officially you shouldn't, but bikes shops will take the extra as a "deposit" and then take the value of your voucher on top of that. No idea if that helps, maybe a model just outside your...

As a new Tero user (arrives Sat) I'm wondering has anyone connected their Garmin watch to their Tero? Is it possible or is it just the dedicated Garmin cycling computers?

On my god, I used to live off those when I was at school, you had to get to the tuck shop early or they would be gone. Yes, I'm aware I'm showing my age :)

So Im all in now, just spent around 3 hrs in my local(ish) bike shop who phoned me to let me know they had manged to get 1 x Tero 5 in and I finally committed to the Tero 5.0 XL size. I also bought 2 decent locks, helmet, mudguards and lights, pump, multi tool, rack adapter and a topeak MTX...

Yep, that is the one

What a nice write up. I live in London and have yet to make it to Battersea Power station even though I pass it every day on the train in

That is good to know.. So my HR dept still haven't processed my voucher yet - week 5 now! Worrying as the stock situation in the UK for everything is dire, I can find only 1 website with the Tero 5 in stock and no LBS have any... Plan B was the Powerfly, but with your comments and my research...

I have thought about this, I have a large selection of various camera bags I can use, they all have inserts I can reconfigure and are either rucksacks or messenger style with straps to lock in place. The Kathmandu is actually a little bit cheaper than the Hybrid reaction though it does depend on...

True, but Im not planning on anything too extreme, more fire roads, cross country and single trail or gravel. While Im waiting for my voucher to come through I have been researching further. The Tero 5 is still an option as it ticks alot of boxes and has the specialized brand behind it, but so...

Does anyone know where to get the wiring guide for an 'EQ set'. The specialized web site is a bit crap for detailed info. https://www.specializedconceptstore.co.uk/product/132120/2022-turbo-tero-equipment-kit/ Doesn't mention if it comes with info on wiring...

Useful to know that so thanks, I will have a look and see if I need to do something similar

Sort of, in the UK we have a cycle to work scheme that I can get up to a £5000 voucher and pay it back over the next 12 months before tax so save a fair bit on the list price. I have £300 spare if I go for the Tero 5 so will use that to get mudguards, helmet and lights and top up as necessary...

In continuing my research I came across an additional nugget. I found it as I was comparing the price of replacement batteries between the Powerfly and Tero, which was very scary. Tero replacement was hard to find but I found a 2nd gen M2 700Wh battery that was £999 😲 Not the same model but a...

I should have said, Im in the UK so we are restricted to 15.5mph in any case no matter what model of bike. I was impressed with the Vado 5 and would imagine that the Tero 5/Powerfly 7 will be just as good while giving me the option to ride offroad. I prefer the looks of the Powerfly 7, it is a...

Im going for my first ebike as well with a similar set of requirements. I had narrowed it down to either the Specialized Tero 5 or the Powerfly 7. The Powerfly range is more for hybrid commuting as far as I can see, the Allant is for a road based commute. Be careful as Trek bikes come in 2...

Hi everyone Im in the process of speccing up my first e-bike via cyclescheme. I have the certificate, I just need to choose now It will be used for the commute to work (14 miles each way), I used to ride this commute on a normal bike for years, loved the ride in, hated the ride home so Im...
