We have two Specialized Como bikes about four years old. We have been reading a lot about ebikes starting fires, so I'm looking at our batteries and see no certifications. Some municipalities are requiring UL 22271 or UL 2849 certifications in order for them to be stored inside. I see no...

OK. Thank you.

Thanks, Indianajo for your reply. I don’t think I have your patience to charge only 90% And 100% only four times a year. I’m going to take it to a specialized dealer where they have the ability to check on the health of the battery, but I haven’t got a lot of faith in their accuracy.

Thank you, Brendan, for your reply. I appreciate it and your wisdom very much. I will continue to keep as close an eye on my batteries health as best I can without the control center on my bike and the app. They are a little bit more money than I can spend.

'I think you can just insert your battery into your wife's Como 3.0 and do the check. (The batteries should be compatible!) - Sooo smart! I'll give this a try. "ECO" - Don't think my 2.0 Como has this option. If you mean Assist Level 1 or even 2, yes, I ride at low Assist Levels whenever I...

Thank you, Stefan, for your reply. My Como 2.0 does not have Bluetooth and the ability to connect to an app on an iPhone. My wife’s Como 3.0 does. I also am not confident of the specialized app battery report. My local specialize dealer can check, he says, the status and health of the battery...

Hello. I have a 3 year old Como 2.0 and just recently it seem I'm getting fewer miles on a full charge. My routes are consistent in length, so I'm pretty confident this is true. Can anybody help explain this? Can't I expect to get more than 3 years from a battery that gone about 1200 miles...

Our 2 1/2 year old Como 3.0 is having a serious (potentually expensive) electrical problem. Several times recently the electrical system shut down completely. It seems to happen when the battery is half charged, or less. The motor, the ights, everything, are without electrical power. After a...

Thank you. Your guess sounds feasible. It's running now. We'l see.

Thank you, pxpaulx. Your explaination sounds very feasible. Yor are right; I was going up a hill on high power, but this has not happen before. Bike's two years old and pretty well used. Will just keep an eye on things. Ned

Hello. Was riding my Como 3.0 with two lights on the battery indicator, and out of the blue, the power to the motor, lights, and the "dashboard"? quit. So, battery showed it had a charge, but nothing going to the motor, lights, or dashboard. I charged the battery briefly, and power came back...

Thanks Daid. I have turned the handlebars up a bit by loosening the four bolts where it attaches to the "frame". Ned

I have a Specialized Como 2.0, and being pretty tall, I'd like to raise the handlebars (pull up higher the tube that goes down into the bike's frame). Is this possible on a Como, like I've done on other non-ebikes? Thanks for your answers. Ned

Thank you, Stefan. Will do.

My one year old Specialized Como 3.0 reads "LOW BAT", even though it is fully charged. Any thoughts will be appreciated. Ned

My Specialized Como 2.0 did not come equipped with hardwired lights; I have to use battery powered lights, and sometimes I forget to recharge them in a timely manner. I wonder if anybody has tried to hardwire their 2.0 with lights that would run off of the bike's battery? Thanks a lot! Ned

All variables being equal, what is the duration, miles or time, of a Specialized Como 2.0 battery verses that of a 3.0 battery. I have a Como 2.0, and on a flat trail at assist level 1, I'm able to go about 40 miles. How much better can I expect if I trade-up to a 3.0? A new Como 3.0 now...

My Specialized Como 2.0 did not come with hardwired lights. I've had to use battery powered lights. Has anybody tried to add hardwired lights to a Como 2.0? the 3.0 has hardwired lights, so it may not be too difficult to do. Thank you. Ned

We recently purchased a Como 2.0 and a 3.0. When we got the bikes, the Como 2.0 came with a 4.0 amp charger, and the Como 3.0 came with a 2.0 amp charger. But since the 3.0 battery has a larger capacity, shouldn't it have the larger charger? At least in terms of charging time? Did somebody...

Thanks for your reply. I think the bike comes with the stand at its lowest setting, but I'll take a closer look. I can give sanding a try. We'll see if it can be sanded enough to make a difference. Thanks again. Ned
