    Specialized Turbo Como 2.0 Low Entry vs Trek Verve Lowstep

    Congratulations on your new ebike, Gina! You made the right decision. I sure enjoyed my time riding the Verve+ and I'm fairly certain the ownership experience ahead for you will be excellent. Please keep me and others in this forum informed of your experiences both good and bad as I keep the...

    Specialized Turbo Como 2.0 Low Entry vs Trek Verve Lowstep

    20 vs 28 mph top speed - My bike is a class 3 bike with top assisted speed of 28mph and I rarely need it because I am riding for fun mostly on our trails and not commuting to work where speed is a factor. Besides wind resistance becomes a major factor when you get up to the 23mph range and most...

    Specialized Turbo Como 2.0 Low Entry vs Trek Verve Lowstep

    I researched ebikes heavily from October thru late December, then bought an Ohm Urban on 12/31 when the $4K bike went on sale for 5 days for $3K. (TOP quality components, suspension, best rear drive, etc.) Up to that point my top-rated bike for the money was the Trek Verve+ low step for...

    Total Noob Here, Need Your Help

    Thomas, you are of course correct about the pricey ($1300 est) battery with controller hardware inside it. If I didn't have the example of Ken S who has literally racked up thousands of miles on his Ohm BionX bikes and batteries (on his 2nd bike now) I may have passed this bike up. But Court's...

    Range at 28 mph

    Have had many more miles and trips now. Went on 25 mile trip on trails (3 miles of street) using level 3 throughout and ended up using 52% of my battery (the final long hill was at level 4 - used 4% of battery on this hill alone). I therefore estimate my range at level 3 at 50 miles without...

    Bicyclists should be seen as well as heard.

    Great idea - I just went to eBay and bought the last roll of the tape you recommended. Your battery tape looks very nice and also effective and visible - nice trim job. Thank you for your post and specific ideas. Jeff

    Range at 28 mph

    I just received my Ohm Urban Class 3 speed peddlec bike 8 days ago but have to gradually work my body up to that 28 mph level over a fair distance. We have lots of ups and downs in NWArkansas even on our beautiful regional trail system. As I ride longer and longer distances I will be able to...

    New Ohm Urban rider in NWA

    Took delivery via Velofix of my new (repaired) Ohm Urban on Monday, Feb 5, 2018. Actual bike delivered in mid-Jan but damaged by UPS in transit from Vancouver to Northwest Arkansas. Velofix delivery is the way to go - as they handle all assembly and setup (plus future tuneups) as well as...

    Range at 28 mph

    Original discussion was about 28 mph, which is very different than 28 km/hr.
