    2018 Turbo Vado 3 - Healthy battery but assistance cuts out at 27%?

    I have a 2021 Como 3.0 and experienced a similar situation at about 13,000 miles. In my case assistance would cut out right at 30%. I purchased a new battery.

    2021 Como 3.0 assist stops below 30%

    I have a 2021 Como 3.0 that has just over 13,300 miles on it. The Specialized app shows the battery has 220 charge cycles and a "Maximum Capacity" of 90%. Prior to this past week it had been a very long time since I have depleted the battery below 40% on a ride. However, this past week I have...

    Another Turbo Vado Ergonomics Thread

    @mcdenny we own two 2021 Como 3.0's that we love. We have a Kuat NV2.0 hitch rack and purchased the ramp for that rack from Kuat. The ramp works great. Very easy to roll the Como's up on the rack. I also purchased a "dolly" made for rolling the Kuat rackk from ebay that works very well. Here is...

    2021 Como 3.0 "No Battery" Error

    I have a 2021 Como 3.0. Recently I have had a handful of incidents where in the middle of a ride at the bottom of the display the message "No Battery" appears and the remaining battery percentage on the display disappears. I then have to power cycle the system to get the battery information to...

    Ok, I get it now...

    Just curious, why did you revert to the Elacktrak tires? Didn't you have Schwalbe Johnny Watts at one time?

    Schwalbe Tires on a Como

    Yes, I have had them on for a couple of weeks. I like them. A little more cushioned ride than the Marathon E+ and of course wider. They roll very smoothly on pavement and perform better than the Marathon E+ on gravel. Installation was pretty straight forward, easier than the Marathon E+ and...

    Como Tire replacement?

    In order to correct the speed and mileage reported the wheel circumference setting in Mission Control needs to be changed to reflect the circumference with your new tires. This has to be performed by a Specialized dealer. The following is a screen shot from the Mission Control app.

    Schwalbe Tires on a Como

    The Schwalbe tires at 2.0 are definitely narrower than the 2.3 Nimbus tires. Not skinny, but definitely narrower which results in less air and a stiffer ride.

    Schwalbe Tires on a Como

    I recently put the Schwalbe Marathon E-Plus tires on my 2021 Como 3.0 (2.75 x 2.0). So far I am very happy with them. They ride very smoothly on paved trails, although not quite as cushy as the original stock Nimbus tires. Also, they are better for gravel than the stock tires. I got them...
