Follow up to an almost year old thread: it appears that with latest Tero 5.0 update (maybe the other Tero’s as well I hope) Specialized upped the usb-c port out to 2 amps!!! I can now power/charge my iPhone 12 off the display module using the bike’s battery power. I had the update to move...

It can charge iPhone 8 and older, nothing newer. Same with any well-featured Android made in the last 3-4 years. Someone at Specialized blew it on the design side and apparently Marketing doesn’t talk to product design. I bought a small handlebar bag and put an inexpensive (Anker brand from...

I have owned a Powerfly 7 (2017 model year) EMTB, switched to a Trek Allant 8s (commuter style ebike), then sold it in less than a year, and bought a Tero 5.0 (U.S. 20 mph version), which is perfect for my riding profile that is very similar to what you outlined. I loved my Powerfly 7, and...

That was the diagnosis! iPhone 12 (and I imagine most higher end phones today) requires 2 amps according to Apple’s website. My LBS tried it with a Garmin unit and it worked, then with an iPhone 8 and it worked, but my iPhone 12 would not charge. I found an inexpensive Moto Android in my...

I have that kickstand on my Tero 5.0 and it works fine. LBS ahead it in stock about 3 weeks ago and installed it for me in about 2 minutes. The only thing to be careful about is that the “foot” is pretty narrow so it could sink in soft grass or dirt. just need to place something wider between...

Thanks gentlemen, I will try to measure the amperage out as the phone and the cables all work fine with other charging sources. I've used several old Apple charging blocks which are only 1 amp, so maybe this is faulty and outputting less than 1 amp.

New (I think) question/request for help: I have a Turbo Tero 5.0 and loved it for the first few weeks that I could ride then winter set in. However I have one problem. I use a phone mount/holder on my handlebars with an iPhone 12 Pro phone, and was powering the phone through the USB-C power...

I recently bought a Tero 5.0 and It came with a hard copy manual inside the same zip up case that stores the charger and a few plastic bits/alternative mounts. Ironically mine also had a loose display. The magnet held the display in place when stopped but as soon as I rode over anything it...

Thanks, but not a hasty conclusion. I tested the cable using a wall charger and it worked. I tested the the port on the Cobi Hub using an android cable and an Android phone and it did not send current to the phone. I spent 20+ years in the consumer electronics industry and and ran every possible...

>>I might buy your Powerfly 7! St. Louis? Took my Trek LBS about an hour to adjust the latch that wouldn’t unlock. I’m not a fan of any iPhone bike mount. You could go buy a Specialized and have the frame break.<< Sorry, I recently sold it on Craigslist. I will miss that bike! My heart was...

And now I have a second battery problem in addition to my self-ejecting sewer-seeking primary battery. My iPhone no longer receives a charge when connected to the Cobi mount. The phone battery then dies pretty quickly with the Cobi app loaded and my phone is drained inside of an hour. The...

I know a few people in the business and heard an additional perspective that has been limiting supply in addition to the COVID lockdowns at factories, warehouse, shipping, etc. The shortages are centered on key components (brakes, cassettes, chain rings, etc. The manufacturers of these parts...

I have been viewing the EBR YouTube channel for years and more recently lurking here on the forums. I just bought a Trek Allant +8s as my exploring and general fitness bike. And I own a 2017 Trek Powerfly 7 Ebike. Long time acoustic bike rider, but many of the roads where I live have no or...

I am going to raise the ante a bit on loose Allant +8S batteries 🤣... Picked up brand new bike last Friday evening after work. Had dinner plans so only did two spins around the block. Saturday morning, maiden voyage planned, loosely a 20 miler I had done dozens of times before on my Powerfly...
