    2020 COMO 3.0 MPH Derestricted with Planet3

    Reviving this thread. I have a 2020 Specialized Como, which I love, and last year my wife and I got a pair of Aventon Pace 500.3s, which I also love. The Paces are Class 3. Recently, a spoke on the motor hub of the Pace broke, and while I am waiting for some replacements from Aventon, I finally...

    Broken Rear Spoke on Pace 500.3

    I found a broken spoke on the rear wheel of my Aventon Pace 500.3, purchased in June 2023. The broken spoke is on the drive side. I've written to Aventon and am awaiting a response. In the meantime, is there anyone who knows the specs for the spoke? I've found conflicting info across the web...

    Ride aventure thread problems

    I think it depends upon the heart problems. I am 69 and have a heart issue with SVT. I am on DLT-XR and doing just fine. I ride every day and have a Pace 500.3 (torque sensor) as well as a Specialized Como (also with a torque sensor). AND I have a RANS Stratus recumbent (non-E). I'd talk to my...

    Level Ver. 1 creaking issue solved

    I had a creaking noise on my Pace 500.3. I narrowed it down to the battery. Got some lithium grease and put it all around where the battery is seated - ie: anyplace the battery came into contact with the frame. A very sparse coat. Voila! Creaking sound gone. What's funny is that my wife's 500.3...

    Aventon Display won't stay on Trip A Screen

    I repurposed my now retired iPhone SE2 for use as a bike computer when my Garmin Explore died. The SE2 no longer functions as a phone (no SIM, moved the service to newer iPhone 14), but the GPS still works perfectly. So...I did some research and found out that Komoot lets you buy downloadable...

    How good is the Como 4.0 AND does the motor break down?

    That is exactly what happened to me.

    How good is the Como 4.0 AND does the motor break down?

    Not a weld. My frame cracked on 2018 Como 2.0 where the motor is mounted. Specialized replaced the bike.

    Problem Getting Specialized Turbo Display

    If you still monitor this forum, can you please direct me to the silicone glue you used? Thanks. EDIT! I asked a friend and he recommended this GE ADVANCED SILICONE - which I just happened to have a tube of. It worked just fine...

    LaFree Ebike

    Hey, does anyone know how long a LaFree sits unused with the power on before it shuts off automatically? There's nothing in the manual about that.

    Very pleased with new Como 4.0 650b

    I do keep mine in Eco, most of the time, using Sport only occasionally on steeper hills. And I live in Chicago western suburbs, which is prairie and quite flat.

    Very pleased with new Como 4.0 650b

    I regularly ride my Como 3.0 to 23/24 mph, but only get assistance to 20mph. Once you've established speed, pushing over it isn't easy, but doable for a bit. However, starting from zero with no assist on my Como is like trying to pedal through quicksand. The 2.0 was easier. Maybe it was the...

    Very pleased with new Como 4.0 650b

    Which Como do you have? I know on my original 2.0, it was easier to ride with no assist. With my 3.0 riding without assist is a real drag - or feels like one.
