The Como and Vado does not have Mission Control, only the mountain bikes.

I like your matte black fenders! They blend in, are under-stated, perfect design. I installed the same fenders as yours on Jan's bike today. Specialized Como fenders, kinda neat that the bike has it's own custom fit fenders. It was a chore installing them since they did not come with...

I added some wood fenders to my bike.

I wouldn't have thought of dismounting, I could try that. I went on a trail recently and encountered a couple horses. I softly greeted them and kept up a short patter because it seemed like the relaxing thing for the benefit of the horses to do. The rider thanked me for talking, she said it...

There's nothing about the Como design that would lend itself to a rougher ride than other bikes of similar constitution. I'm an overweight, out of shape 61 year old so I try to squeeze every drop of smooth out of the ride I can. 30 psi in the tires, which is on the low side helps. This...

Those colors are stunning. I just got into biking again and what drew me to the Como was it's looks. The color's you two chose look so good together!

Thank you for making this post. I thought the fenders looked so good on your bike, I contacted Woodys Fenders and got these for my Specialized Como.

You'll get the hang of taking the battery out and in. It takes some finesse and fine hand movement to initially align it when installing and then when it is positioned into the many splines; and then it gets a final hard whack for the last sliver of engagement. You'll get it fixed. Will your...

Jan and my Como, it's smooth, no drag symptoms like you describe. When other people have written to the forums with similar symptoms, their remedy has been to take it back to the bike shop and they start replacing components till fixed. I know you said you had to drive a ways to the bike shop...

Glad to hear you got your new bike! What are your impressions?

Electrarider, you seem to really "get it"... using the bike for relaxation and it sounds so zen and 'mindful' of you to notice the subtitles in the season. :) Your posts are motivating. I know miles are important to you, I'm still ahead at 759 to your 500 something? Ha I just got back from...

That's amazing how you knew it was that trail just from a few close-up bike pictures! And you live in Arizona too. That is a beautiful paved trail as you know, 21 miles of almost isolation, at the end, in Vernonia Oregon there is a downtown with more than a handful of cafes to sit down for...

December,ow, what a wait! I've ridden the Como 2.0 and it feels great. Jan and I have 3.0, but we rarely ride fast or long enough that we'd notice the battery difference to the 2.0. The Como style mimics Specialized non-electric Roll. I have the Specialized Roll Rack and it accommodates...

Before I got the pro xt Thule, I got the Thule t1 and my Specialized Como XL had the back tire barely balanced on, the bike was too long for the rack. I guess your wheelbase on your Vado is less? The rack shop agreed and took it back. My LBS is a large, established shop and they quit selling...

Bike rentals are a big thing in Seaside, but no one rents electric. We didn't see any other electric bikes on our long weekend. There aren't any hills, so maybe no pressing need. But many rented the multiple seated surreys. I'd see out of 6 or so occupants only a couple would be pedaling...

I tried to go cheaper, I tried 3 different ones, looked at at least 10 of them at a shop and I had to finally spend 600 bucks and 325 for a uhaul installed hitch. The rack is Thule T2 Pro XT 2. While one of our Specialized Comos were on order, we rented the Vado a few times. We were able...

Am looking forward to more home front reports. Ha, it's fascinating to hear of your journey. Jan and i just got back from a long weekend in Seaside Oregon. Portland has been smokey like you, but the coast was a cool 68f and no fire haze. We liked our 10 mile ride on the beach when the tide...

On my Infiniti G37 I have a class 1, good for 200 pounds, each bike a tad over 50 pounds and the carrier the same, so about 160 pounds. I read how a support strap is needed with the class I. I found the item they sell at uhaul, here :(Link Removed - No Longer Exists) I use 3, ha! That's a...

Feedback Sports Pro Elite. My bike at 52 pounds is held secure. As others have state, it is a chore to hold the bike with one hand and turn the vise clamp with the other even though it snaps snug with a press of a button and then a few cranks of the handle.

40 miles on an Oregon bike trail. So much fun!
