OK, I get it. The hills reduce the range significantly. If you ride your Como at a cold weather then the range additionally drops, and the drop is significant. Are you pedalling at a cadence over 70 rpm? The motor becomes very inefficient if you pedal slowly! A personal story: I bought an...

He cannot. Garmin computers are a pita for Specialized e-bikes. Wahoo is perfect for them. No wonder my Garmin 540 ended with my brother as Garmin is the best option for Giant e-bikes.

"E-Bike Field" app connects to the e-bike directly.

The Sport mode on my older Vado (which has probably a smaller battery than your Como) allows me riding for some 60 km. Do you live in a very hilly area? (Hills eat the battery charge alive!) I need to know that e-bike brand and model. €2000 sounds weirdly low for a new e-bike in Europe...

Kevin, have you ever measured your own Standover Height? The 837 or 858 mm are figures for a person of at least 190 cm body height and having long legs. You might not be able to straddle the bike top tube at all! The second thing is dropping the seat-post might leave you with your arms in an...

Don't you ride in TURBO mode all the time? The battery consumption factor for ECO never exceeds 1% battery per 1 km. Energy recovery has been tried and found impractical for e-bikes as the e-bike + rider are simply too lightweight (it is not a car). Besides, energy recovery would require a very...

Review. This e-bike might be even 3-4 years old by now. How could you assess the battery wear? (If this e-bike were brand new then the specs would be excellent). By the way, judging by the manufactured date, it is not a Smart System e-bike. I would be very careful regarding the frame size...

Perhaps it is how a pedal bike feels? :)

It is absolutely secure. I ride gravel and some offroad, never had any issue. The RE perfectly locks into the Specialized Zee II cage. (I use the rubber band to secure the battery plug not the whole thing but it's me). I could even ride multi-kilometre rough cobblestone segments on three races...

You cannot be serious if you use Zoom :D :D :D

Oh, how nicely done, Doug! ❤️

Precisely speaking, it is either both batteries in parallel or the Range Extender first :) I was wondering as there is an extra pair of bosses for a vertically mounted cage, the seat tube, for the diamond frame. It looks it is only a single position for the RE on the ST frame. I only wonder if...

Good to hear that! Indeed, even the SL 2 like yours in the same colour is available in Poland! I've looked at the picture of your e-bike. It looks the bidon cage fits between the top and bottom tubes so a Range Extender with its cable might fit as well!

Clean the battery and the harness contacts with a contact cleaner spray?

Please also check the AMR posts for Ole Bjorn Smisethjell and Radosław Gołębiewski. Our Polish champion rode the same model of Factor XC bike as Victor (but no rear rack). Friends are telling me the Norwegian Ole Bjorn rode a TREK Supercaliber but with a drop bar fitted. Check the break times...

The rigs of the silver and bronze medalists were not inspected though 😊

Ever heard of the L1e-B, or S-Pedelec? The modern equivalent of the Turbo Vado 6.0 is the Turbo Vado S IGH.

My Vado 6.0 goes 28 mph.

I wouldn't say the white LED lights were ugly. "Snow blooming trees", a photo from a friend.

It was the Sodium Orange that was dreadful. Do you still have sodium street lights in the backwards UK? :)
