    Saddle pressure, numbness, and maintaining sexual health at 59

    I had a similar problem with the OEM seat on my Turbo Tero 3. I switched to a Selle Royal which provided some relief. I looked at noseless saddles but could not make the jump. My wife bought a Como 3 which came with a 200 mm body geometry seat. I finally took the time to measure what I needed...

    Electric Car thread

    Does this count. We use this at our summer home to get around town. At least it charges on 115 Vac. Unfortunately we are limited to streets that are 35 mph or less. Also, the trip there is too far to make an EV practical but at least we save gas while we are there.

    Looking for opinons

    I spend some of my time on the trails and mounting the mirror outward was definitely a problem. Underneath and inward is the best set up for me on a Turbo Tero. It provides a clear rearward view under my arm. Obviously, this depends on your seating position. My wife's Como has a very upright...

    First e-bike for a 68 year old - buying help needed

    Not that this suggestion will be worth much.... I am 68 and my wife is 55 and we both bought Specialized Turbos. Mine is a Tero and hers is a Como 3. She had elbow surgery last year and needed an upright seating position and not a lot of weight on her arms. The bike is very comfortable for her...

    new tyres for my Vado 4….Wow!

    Looks like a common theme for us old guys. My cancer diag was one of the reasons I switched from my Pitch 650b to an electric. I thought it would help me get more riding time. Only on hormones for 6 months but I did get the hot flashes, start crying at the movies my wife was watching, and...

    Deaf Riders

    I have had good luck with my 515 as well. The range is definitely over 100 yards and it seems to accurately distinguish multiple vehicles. The light blinking when vehicles approach also makes you more noticeable. Although I mount my phone to the handlebars, I can easily feel the vibration alerts...

    New Spec App?

    Although I split time on my Tero 3 between trails and the street, I did purchase a Garmin radar for when I am in traffic (long story for another time about being hit twice, riding on the wrong side, arguments with real cyclists, and finally caving). However, I noticed an issue with the new...

    New Como 3.0 issue

    I did clean the battery connection as recommended. However, although I ride my Tero every day or two, she has only ridden her Como 1 or 2 times since the December ride. I might start riding hers instead to get a better handle on the status (I will remove the front dog carrier...lol). When the...

    Firmware update for charging limit

    Just curious if there was ever a resolution of this issue. Also, has anyone verified if the latest Specialized App (which replaces Mission Control) resolves it?

    How do you mount a phone on the Como (22-23) ?

    Wife's Como. Cable ties are just for backup since I am not totally comfortable with O-ring mounts, especially on bumpy trails.

    Turbo Como 5.0 IGH 2023

    Late to the party but wondering if you ever got an ABUS lock for your Como. I installed a 4750 XL on my wife's 2022 Como. I also bought an ABUS 5850/5650/4960 Cable 12/100, Black, 100 cm. I bought both on Amazon. The package arrived and one of the keys was bent. ABUS mailed me a set of...

    Caution - Do Not Put A Deposit On a Pre-Order!

    That is certainly good advice, especially if the economy sours this coming year. I did pay in advance for a Swytch Kit for my son's Rockhopper. They required a deposit up front and then the balance when the final order was locked in. They were pretty clear on the site that the units were made...

    New Como 3.0 issue

    I will take the battery out and clean all the contacts. Since it has only happened twice in over 1 1/2 years, I may never really know if I fixed it. More importantly, I will know how to better react if my wife says it is happening.

    New Como 3.0 issue

    Has anyone had this issue lately or have any more info on it? My wife's 2022 Como 3.0 had this issue twice. Once last summer (2022) and again a week ago. When starting off the bike does not assist at all. Simply turning off the power and turning it back on fixes the issue. The display indicates...

    Shock absorbing seat post/handlebar stem also storage bag for Tero 3 Step through

    I bought a Tero 3.0 and put about 1100 miles on it so far but was not happy with the harshness over bumps. I looked at both the Kinekt and the Redshift and chose the latter because I needed to minimize any additional seat post height. I installed it yesterday. At 195 lbs I set it up per the...

    Turbo Vado Front Rack

    Thanks for the guide. My only problem on my wife's Como is that I had to extend the cable for the light (it looks like you had more than enough). While doing so I disconnected the main cable to the motor (which has a handle to help pull it) and failed to release the plastic locking tab which...

    Swytch Kit - Latest Kit

    Ordering was a little slow. I changed to the better OLED display and added a 2nd battery and the mechanical brake shut-offs during the order process so I am not sure if that slowed it down more than normal. I think it took several months to actually get the kit. Installation was relatively...

    Firmware update for charging limit

    Factory reset my Tero and reinstalled Mission Control. 80% limit started working again. Maybe it just reset the counter. I will repost after 9 charge cycles if it keeps working.

    Turbo Vado Front Rack

    Thanks for that. It looks like a fair amount of left/right adjustment so I will need to take my time. Hopefully the cable is not an issue.

    Turbo Vado Front Rack

    I am attempting to install this rack on my wife's Como. Sorry, late to the party. Not sure yet if the cable will be long enough. I will definitely go the MIK adapter route even for the included plate since I have other baskets which she will need to swap out. mrkjd: Curious at what your final...
