I had a dolly in mind just like the one in the link, with the height just right to slide the carrier into the cars receiver. I'm thinking of a ramp that folds in half made out of some aluminum "C" channel. I'll post here when and if I actually do this.

Follow-up from my first post last Saturday: Yesterday I rode a size L VADO SL 4.0 on a 2 mile residential loop, then a size M COMO SL 5.0 on same loop, then rode the Vado again. I brought my bike rack thinking I might buy the Vado but, honestly, I didn't love either bike. Then I rode my Como...

I tried another permutation of PAS and pedal power. Same loop but this time TURBO mode but minimal pedaling, cadence in the 50s, aiming for 10 - 12 mph. Could feel a little motor surging as I was putting so little torque on the crank the torque sensor wasn't sure if I was pedaling or not. Data...

ECO 20/40 SPORT 40/80 TURBO 80/100 Just did the same ride again in SPORT mode. PAS............Avg Speed......Wh/mile......Calories/mile......Support level.........Implied Range using 90% of 530 Wh battery...

Just for fun I duplicated one of the routes I referenced in the Wh consumption statistics in my post #10 above. I pedaled at my comfort level on both rides. I try to keep cadence between 70 to 80 rpm. 100% eco power - my energy input 16 calories/mile; motor consumption 6 Wh/mile; support...

There's probably something wrong with your battery or motor or, less likely, the IGH. I have a 2022 Turbo Como 3.0 (smaller battery, derailleur gears) and can go 50 miles on a charge without paying any attention to conserving the battery. A recent 25 mile ride with half in turbo mode going...

Full disclosure: I didn't mention this above so as to not further confuse my first post but my wife and I each have a Como. Hauling the bikes usually means I have to lift two of them. She is a little intimidated by the size and weight of her size M Como. She for sure will be getting either a...

I watched that video just this morning - thank you. A friend showed me the "lock the back brake" trick last summer and it does make loading easier. Just not as easy as I would like.

I certainly have, including all the arguing with dynamic about bike data connectivity. o_O I believe you made all the mods to get a more upright riding position but then later removed them as you found the the original more leaned over position was more comfortable. You explain clearly how to...

Going to see if there is a pro bike fitting service in Nashville. Thanks for the thought. I wish I was going to get taller in the coming years, at 75 y/o I've already lost an inch :)

California, thanks for your thoughts. I'm certainly considering keeping the Como, especially since the trade in the LBS is offering is half of the $3250 it cost. The light weight is just so seductive. I also found that I could replace my 52# Kuat NV2 carrier with their 32# Sherpa model rated...

This is my first post. Hello to all! I was a casual rider for most of my life but when we moved from flat Michigan to Tennessee (Nashville) I quit riding due to the hills. I'm 75 and pretty fit for an old guy but it was no fun flailing away in low gear then walking up. Ahh, but what if I...
