    I used a piece of aluminum and made a bracket to hold the light and mounted it to the slotted tabs on the back of the seat. I have a picture, but can’t seem to add it?

    Indoor spin bike help.

    In reality, I could probably go to the wellness center 8 miles from home for 4 years for the same cost of the spin bike I’m looking at. But, on those cold snowy days, I don’t know if I have the fortitude to get out on days like that. I think that if I had a expensive spin bike at home, I would...

    Indoor spin bike help.

    I’m thinking that I want something with a flywheel, I’ve had trainers that I could put my road bike on and did not really like riding with resistance all the time. I’m an older guy and it seems like I lose most of my cycling fitness over the winter. I just want to keep my butt, legs and...

    Indoor spin bike help.

    I’m thinking about getting a indoor spin bike to use during the cold winter months, anybody else use one to keep in shape during the winter? If so, what brand and why you like it. There’s so many out there and a large range in pricing. I’m looking at the Kaiser M3I, but wow.... don’t know if I...

    Can we have an Honest Discussion Trek Alliant vs Specialized Vado USA?

    I’m 67 and I have a como 5 and can tell you, it climbs hills great and I can cruise 21-23mph on the flats. I wished I would have got the Vado, but at the time I thought I wanted a more upright riding position. I ended up putting bars similar to the Vado on my como. I know nothing about the trek...

    Possibly stupid question: will my rear rack work on a Como Turbo 3?

    I don’t know how your rack attaches, but here is how they attach to a Como. If you have fenders you will need longer bolts on the bottom mounting point. Hope this helps....

    New chain clatter/cracking sound ( Vado,11 speed )

    Have you tried adjusting your rear derailleur, sometimes changing to a different chain requires you to make small adjustments to the derailleur.

    Hills or Wind. Which is worse.

    I love riding in a strong wind....as long as we’re both going the same way.... hate riding into the wind and worse yet is climbing a big hill into the wind.

    Turbo Como 4.0 vs Turbo Vado 4.0 Step-Through

    (Ron49) said best.... age and fitness.......I have road both the Vado and como, both are very nice. I really wanted the Vado, I think it looks better, but the comfort of the como won out for me. If your going to be standing and mashing up hills (which there is no need to on these e-bikes) or...

    2020 Turbo Vado 3.0

    I have a como 5.0 and love it, I sometimes wish I would have gotten the Vado.... but dang is the como ever comfortable to ride. Start using the motor more in your rides, you’ll find you can do more miles and get to enjoy your bike even more. Don’t you feel like a 10 year old again when riding...

    Recommendarions Welcome

    I was in the same boat that your in, not many ebikes at my LBS . I did ride a como 2 and a Vado 1.0. I ended up going with a como 5.0 , my local specialized dealer ordered it.... got it in less than a week. I liked the Vado 5.0 but they were more$$$. The como for me was much more comfortable...

    Charging the como

    How are all of you charging your como batteries? Do you charge them to 100% or 80%? I do a lot of 15 to 20 mile rides ( just starting to ride again after a 3-4 year lay off ) and when I’m done, my battery is down to 65-75%. Do you charge them or do another short ride to bring the battery down...

    New Como 5.0

    That’s good to hear... hope it will last a very long time. I put my brooks saddle on... I think I like it better. Made me a mount for the rear light, turned out ok.... also added a rear view mirror and a cell phone holder. Still waiting on my rear rack and rack bag.

    New Como 5.0

    That sure looks like some nice riding there, all I have is roads with corn and bean fields to look at. How do you like the seat on your bike, I didn’t really like mine. I put my brooks saddle on mine.

    New Como 5.0

    Picked up my new bike yesterday..... this thing is really nice. I feel like that 10 year old boy of many years ago. Did an 18 mile ride this morning and it was great. Wow... am I out of shape. Due to some injuries I haven’t been able to ride for the last 3 years and it feels so good to be able...
