I was using 10/100. No motor cutting out because I could never pedal hard enough to get the motor up to its max power. 10/100 gives a modest boost all the time. 10/10 would be very different as motor power would plateau at 1/10 max power although I suspect Ease setting xx doesn’t actually cap...

Mother Nature smiled on us today so I could get in a nice first real ride. Did 7 miles back and forth on a straight flattish stretch in my neighborhood trying out the different dynamic micro tune (xx/100) settings then an 11 mile greenway ride I've done many times in the past. The back and...

Just now Spec website shows SL (not 2) 5.0 EQ in silver available from warehouse in XL and in stock at a few stores in M and L. $5249.00! $150 more than the new SL 2 5.0 EQ. Also curious, my LBS has another SL 2 4.0 size M in stock. Certainly other stores throughout the US have SL 2 4.0 and...

Regarding saddles: I swapped the Spec OEM seat for a Serfas RX I've been using on my Trek FX3. The Serfas is the same length but 1" wider and noticeably softer. Haven't ridden the new bike with it yet but I know it's been comfortable on my acoustic Trek. I don't ride the Trek for as long as...

Hi rochrunner, I see you are in Rochester Hills MI. My wife and I are OU grads and I lived basically at the intersection of 26 mile road and Canada for 50 years. Small world. I followed your posts about loving your SL 5.0 but wanting the lower step over height. I'm in the same boat regarding...

Weird, when I ordered my bike on Jan 20, Spec showed 10+ in stock and the bike arrived the LBS said it would be at their store in 5-7 days and it was.

It's a Turbo Vado SL 2 5.0 step through. Color is called something like deep lake blue matte. It looks blue-green in the picture but just looks blue in real life. Picture was taken about 90 minutes before sunset on a crystal clear day so that probably adds some yellow to the color. Weirdly I...

New Bike Day finally arrived. It only took about ten days from order with LBS to delivery but the weather here in Nashville has been too bad want to bring it home. Today was the first sunny warmish day, 55 degrees but 20-30 mph wind. Just rode it a few miles around the neighborhood. First...

RABH, what beautiful scenery. Making me think of vacationing in Scotland next summer.

Do you agree that "enhanced speed" is probably meters/second? If your "toast" level is 150 watts I'm impressed!

Had one other thought - that maybe the drop off in motor power at the high end of rider power was due to the Class one cut off of 20 mph. Checked the source data and the column labeled "enhanced speed" max value is 6.86. Assuming that's speed in meter/second that translates to 15.3 mph. So no...

Good catch and reassuring that the Specialized published motor specs are accurate.

I Looked up a ride I did on my Como 3.0 last year, one of the few that had much time in Turbo mode. That's the only mode where I know the E/A was set at 100/100 . The 50 minute ride had (after I deleted the zero cadence rows) about 12 minutes in Turbo, 706 data points (706 seconds of records)...

I just found how to use a FIT file viewer download .fit data. I had recorded a few rides on my Como last year so I had something to play with. The .fit file records all the data we care about (and more) once each second. The 45 minute ride I downloaded had 2600 lines! I’m envisioning many...

In the specialized app. The "rides" tab.

You aptly named the image "whoa.jpg". Interesting stuff.

Can you extract the exact data from the .fit file download from the Specialized app?

Curious what you expect the weight to be after adding the "equipment" from your old 5.0.

Stunning scenery. I cam't imagine what a pleasant ride that would be in the late spring.
