    Loose Motor on Como 2.0 UPDATE: Cracked Frame (Vados too)

    @CoastChimes Is there a bike shop around close enough to were you could try them out and compare before having to decide? I've been told that the 1.2E with the 460wh battery has the same range of the 1.2 with the 504wh battery so if not factoring in steep hills, I would also say get the 3.0...

    Loose Motor on Como 2.0 UPDATE: Cracked Frame (Vados too)

    Wow, I've been off the forum for about a month so I was pretty surprised this was still the topic at the top! Hopefully it doesn't affect too many more. I put a marker on the bolts and frame when I got my replacement so I could see if the bolts have moved at all over time. I've been checking it...

    Shocker new frame required. Game over Specialized, will be moving to Trek.

    Sorry to hear about your bike @Turbo Vado Pip ! I had that same frame issue with my Como 3.0 a little over a month ago. I took it into the bike shop I bought it from and Specialized replaced the bike with a new one. The bike shop then moved my handlebars and racks over with nothing out of...

    Loose Motor on Como 2.0 UPDATE: Cracked Frame (Vados too)

    I'm sorry @Ebiker01, that's my fault. I just realized I never posted an update. Specialized shipped out a 2020 Como 4.0 (which is virtually identical to the 2019 Como 3.0) on Friday instead of the 2020 Como 3.0. I don't think everyone has the specs memorized for each model, for each year...

    Loose Motor on Como 2.0 UPDATE: Cracked Frame (Vados too)

    Well we now know the common theme between these reported issues is that creaking sound and so far only the 2019 models even though the 2019 frame is the same frame used in 2018. Pure speculation but … the reason I doubt it's a design flaw is that there are people putting thousands of miles on...

    Loose Motor on Como 2.0 UPDATE: Cracked Frame (Vados too)

    That dark blue looks nice! I don't think they make the Como in a color I don't like … except maybe the lilac. I did ask about the 2019. The bike replacement comes directly from Specialized and unfortunately not the store's inventory (the shop does have one in another state.) It's Specialized...

    Loose Motor on Como 2.0 UPDATE: Cracked Frame (Vados too)

    @Uburoibob What bike are they replacing yours with? I was told that they are sending a replacement bike for mine but they are sending a 2020 Como 3.0 and not the 2019 Como 3.0. I asked if they could do the same model and year but was told that they don't have one. My concern is that the 2020...

    2020 Turbo Vado 3 Battery Charging Problem

    Hi @VeniceGerry! The light is green on the charger when it is not charging. So if it's connected to the battery but the charge is full, it will be green. If it's not plugged into the battery, it will be also be green. Since you know the battery is not full and no lights are flashing on it, the...

    Loose Motor on Como 2.0 UPDATE: Cracked Frame (Vados too)

    I wasn't able to get a picture of break, I could only see it peeking in through the gap. I'll be sure to ask the tech to take a photo of whatever he finds and then I'll post them as soon as I get them.

    Loose Motor on Como 2.0 UPDATE: Cracked Frame (Vados too)

    Before I took the bike in, I noticed that the bottom cover was a little loose to the point where I could see inside. I couldn't get a good enough picture but I could see that one bolt was loose and out about half an inch. The other bolt I could see was tight but part of the frame it was attached...

    Loose Motor on Como 2.0 UPDATE: Cracked Frame (Vados too)

    I've had two spills on the bike, last one being about a month ago. Hopefully that isn't the cause as I don't think warranty will cover it. I'm in Kansas City, KS. 2019 Como 3.0 with 960 miles.

    Loose Motor on Como 2.0 UPDATE: Cracked Frame (Vados too)

    The exact same thing happened to me tonight. I've had small creaks every now and then but it wasn't really noticeable. Halfway into my ride tonight, the creaks became more and more pronounced and on every pedal stroke. On the way home I could feel the crank assembly start to move which just got...

    Como 3.0 - Slipping & sliding - different tires?

    That's too funny, that was the first thing that went through my mind as well! @gadgetnut Those Super Moto x Reflex tires look pretty cool! I like that it's more of a road tire just with more tread. I went into the bike shop today and though the tech was not in, the sales associate suggested...

    Como 3.0 - Slipping & sliding - different tires?

    I typically only ever ride on a paved path. However whenever those slick Nimbus tires encounter thin layers of mud on the path, it might as well be like riding over ice and today I took a rather nasty spill as a result. In the interest of retaining whatever skin I have left, I'm wondering if...
