    Battery Certifications

    We have two Specialized Como bikes about four years old. We have been reading a lot about ebikes starting fires, so I'm looking at our batteries and see no certifications. Some municipalities are requiring UL 22271 or UL 2849 certifications in order for them to be stored inside. I see no...

    Como 2.0 Battery Life

    Hello. I have a 3 year old Como 2.0 and just recently it seem I'm getting fewer miles on a full charge. My routes are consistent in length, so I'm pretty confident this is true. Can anybody help explain this? Can't I expect to get more than 3 years from a battery that gone about 1200 miles...

    Como 3.0 Electrical Problem

    Our 2 1/2 year old Como 3.0 is having a serious (potentually expensive) electrical problem. Several times recently the electrical system shut down completely. It seems to happen when the battery is half charged, or less. The motor, the ights, everything, are without electrical power. After a...

    Como 3.0 - Power Quit

    Hello. Was riding my Como 3.0 with two lights on the battery indicator, and out of the blue, the power to the motor, lights, and the "dashboard"? quit. So, battery showed it had a charge, but nothing going to the motor, lights, or dashboard. I charged the battery briefly, and power came back...

    Specialized Como 2.0 - Raise Handlebars?

    I have a Specialized Como 2.0, and being pretty tall, I'd like to raise the handlebars (pull up higher the tube that goes down into the bike's frame). Is this possible on a Como, like I've done on other non-ebikes? Thanks for your answers. Ned

    Hardwiring Lights on a Como 2.0

    My Specialized Como 2.0 did not come equipped with hardwired lights; I have to use battery powered lights, and sometimes I forget to recharge them in a timely manner. I wonder if anybody has tried to hardwire their 2.0 with lights that would run off of the bike's battery? Thanks a lot! Ned

    2.0 vs. 3.0 Battery

    All variables being equal, what is the duration, miles or time, of a Specialized Como 2.0 battery verses that of a 3.0 battery. I have a Como 2.0, and on a flat trail at assist level 1, I'm able to go about 40 miles. How much better can I expect if I trade-up to a 3.0? A new Como 3.0 now...

    Hardwiring Lights on a Como 2.0

    My Specialized Como 2.0 did not come with hardwired lights. I've had to use battery powered lights. Has anybody tried to add hardwired lights to a Como 2.0? the 3.0 has hardwired lights, so it may not be too difficult to do. Thank you. Ned

    Which Battery Charger for Como 2.0 and 3.0?

    We recently purchased a Como 2.0 and a 3.0. When we got the bikes, the Como 2.0 came with a 4.0 amp charger, and the Como 3.0 came with a 2.0 amp charger. But since the 3.0 battery has a larger capacity, shouldn't it have the larger charger? At least in terms of charging time? Did somebody...

    Como 2.0 Kickstand

    I'm wondering if it is possible to shorten the length of the kickstand on a Specialized 2.0 bike. It seems too long, resulting in the bike resting too close to vertical. One day, I'm afraid it's going to blow over. Now that would ruin my day! Otherwise, love this bike! Thanks very much. Ned

    Specialized Como Warranty

    We recently purchased two Como bikes, and love them! We bought them from a good bike store but it is two and a half hours away. Our local Specialized store didn't have any. We wonder about warranty work. The local shop tell me they will do repairs covered under the warranties but...

    Squeaking Front Brake on Como 3.0

    I just purchased a Como 3.0 and I love it!! However, since day one (it only has about 20 miles on it) the front disk brake squeals like a stuck pig when braking. When I look down on the break, one of the pads touches the disk first, the other is just a hair away from touching the disk. With...

    Como 3.0 Rear Light

    With a rear rack and storage bag, the rear light under the seat is hidden. Short of buying another light and mounting it on the back of the rack, does anyone have a suggestion? I’m wondering if I can rewire the real light and mount it on the back of the rack? Thanks.
