    Specialized Turbo Como 3.0

    The Como 3.0 is great for easily reaching 28 MPH. I average around 22 - 24 on my 35-mile commute. However, the motor will not let you go any faster and you can feel the resistance. There are points in my commute where I know I can pedal past the 28 and have tried. I thought the motor would...

    Specialized Turbo Como 3.0

    Specialized initially had a thinner foam piece there. However, they updated to a harder rubbery piece. I'm just waiting for them to develop a solution that is not temporary. If they do not develop something, I would make my own shim using a 2 - 3mm thick silicon that does not permanently...

    Specialized Turbo Como 3.0

    They have to replace the shim with a new one. The current or existing shim will get to a point of compression where you will get less pressue on the battery to bike contacts. After they replace my shim, no problems at all!

    Specialized Turbo Como 3.0

    In the attached images. The shim should align with the raised section on the battery. This is the raised area above the Specialized branding. I was informed I will have to go back in at some point when the shim is no longer putting enough pressure on the battery to make a good contact...

    Specialized Turbo Como 3.0

    I have not had the issue of the bike not starting up (lights and display). The only item was the surging. After the "shim" was installed, no surging issues. Also have your LBS make sure all the firmaware is up-to-date.

    Specialized Turbo Como 3.0

    Hi Jhorrick. I also have the Como 3.0 and experienced the surging and/or lack of assistance from the motor. There is a approximate 1.5 inch rubbery shim that needs to be replaced in the battery compartment. It is placed on the right-side about 5 -6 inches from the top. It places the right...
