Hi Lewes, I have the Como 3.0 and love it! You will have to ride both to see which one works for you. The Vado seems to be set up better for commuting, the components are mostly the same so it should come down to what you are using it for and ride quality, since they are very different. The...

Man, my Day Job is killing me! It is really cutting into my bike riding! Anyway with fall in full swing now, I have managed to squeeze in a few miles and can now officially say I made it to and passed the 1,000 Mile mark! I know there are plenty of you guys that are way past me but I just...

You broke the 1,000 mile mark, that's Awesome! It's been days since I rode my bike, I'm spending more time away from home than I like to right now! If I remember right I left off at 929 or 934 miles.

So True!!!! I experienced that when I started riding again!

Well I sacrificed an amazing day of Bike Riding to take a drive over to Biketoberfest in Fairfax, Ca. My mission was to get a hold of somebody from Specialized, I heard they were going to be there but they weren't! I did manage to talk to the President of a Large Bike Shop that sells...

Yeah I'm curious about the New Como 5.0! Looks like pretty much all the Gears are the same, they are using different brakes but the Rotors are are the same size (must be for the extra weight). I want to try one out to see how different the motor is. I would like the bigger battery for my...

I heard you can switch out the chain ring, but I like having the guard. Is he saying the Vado 6.0 will work?

Yesterday I did something a little different on my bike. There was a car show fairly close to my house where they actually shut down about a mile long stretch of a road and cars can park or cruise around a little bit, as most of you know I'm really big into building older cars, and this is a...

Hi Mutiny, I personally have not used the lowest gear on my Como 3.0, I do have some steep hills where I'm riding but still haven't shifted all the way down yet. Even a couple weekends ago on my longest ride to date (54 Miles) the last part of my ride home is uphill and I was out of power and...

Well I hit and passed the 900 Mile Mark! Como 3.0 still going strong (without the mission "impossible" control app). Didn't ride too far today the winds were brutal here! Without the pedal assist I would've hated riding and probably not even rode to the end of my street before turning around...

Yes it was a 54 mile ride on Sunday I took advantage of a a couple short cuts on the way back home, still ran out of power. Still was an awesome day!

Yeah I've robbed the battery a couple times already:cool:

I'll try to manage it differently based on this but it will be hard. Thanks C!!!

My method is not the best way, according to this info that C has referenced. I charged it up fully on Sunday after my long ride and was out of town Monday and got home late Tuesday so I wanted to come home to a fully charged bike in order to ride. It was after dark when I got home last night...

Hi C ! So by charging your battery to 80% mark your saying I'll be able to go farther or I'll get more cycles out of the battery? Right now my typical rides on the weekend far surpass the range of the battery, I'm even turning off the PAS on at least 10% to 15% of my ride and usually ride in...

Hi Bob, if I'm only riding 10 or 15 miles I don't recharge my battery. I only try to make sure my battery is almost dead by Friday Night so I have a full charge for a Saturday or Sunday "Good" Ride. There are many theories/stories about how to treat your battery I've heard the "80-20" theory...

Wow! That does seem unusual, glad they got you covered under warranty! Its seems real funny spokes are either going to break right away or last forever, I think it has something to do with the person "lacing" the spokes. I'm still going strong on my original rims spokes and tires I did get a...

Ah Fall is finally taking a strong hold here in the Central Valley of California! On my Sunday ride the temps never got past 80! It was nice to ride without sweating profusely for a change! Like before I ride the same trail most of the time I either go upstream or downstream, the trail parallels...

Hi Turbo how many miles did you have when this happened? I'm at 860 miles and haven't had any broken spokes and I'm no light weight guy. I did take my bike in at 500 miles for a check up that my LBS included and they did have to "true" the rims but nothing was broken, I did replace the chain it...

Last weekend I finally installed my Mirrycle mirror, WOW! I don't know what I would do without it! Best addition ever! Wasn't sure I was going to like it because it is so close to the handle bar grip, but it actually doesn't bother me at all love being able to see whats behind me now! Been...
