    Ride Website No Longer Tracks Battery Usage?

    Last year I could look up my rides in the Ride website and see battery usage over time: It'd also show me how much time I spent in each of the micro tune assist levels: Looks like both of those features no longer exist for rides recorded sometime after September 2023. Is that the case...

    It's beautiful!

    I'm afraid I've got some bad news for you. That bike is entirely too clean, and you're going to have to dirty it up some. Now get out there and get to work!

    Turbo Tero 5.0 first impressions

    I got this. It's adjustable, and as always, little adjustments in this kind of thing can often go a long ways. That said, I have mine at full extension and I think it's perfect. I got very similar grips to what you ordered, but another no-name generic. And yea, I had some old mountain bike...

    I've got the B67 too, and I like the comfort (well, still breaking it in...) but does yours squeak? I've torn it apart twice oiling everything and I just can't seem to eliminate squeaks from the springs. Drives me nuts!

    Turbo Tero 5.0 first impressions

    I can't remember the last time I've ridden my Tero outside of Microtune. I'm hooked on having that level of control, and since the motor is pretty powerful, every 10% increment is significant! I'm with Stefan on that...once you get more comfortable with the bike, give it another shot...

    2022 Turbo Vado and Turbo Tero comparison: Same bike?

    The main issue is the Tero is Class 1, so no assist after 20mph (in the US). It's not really an issue on trails where the Tero is meant for, but on roads it's kind of a waste (particularly with such a powerful motor and large of a battery). The Vado is a much better fit for biking on...

    Specialized Turbo Vado/Como/Tero/Tero X User Club

    Specialized provides a cross reference for what every one of their motors is based on. Specialized says they "develop the motor hardware with Brose" but they stop short of saying the hardware is any different from Brose motors, instead pivoting to how they develop their own software. You'll...

    Great question. Let's see how Brose describes this: Does that sound to you like they "dramatically changed the new motor design"? "For sure"?

    You'd want to look up your exact model, but if you were on the 2020 Vado 4, you probably had the 1.2 motor which is based on Brose T. The 2022 Vado 4 is based on Brose T Mag, and the main difference is the Mag is a bit smaller/lighter/newer. Supposedly some newer motors use an upgraded belt...

    Turbo Tero 5.0 motor variations

    Probably the right call for you. I love my Tero, but it's definitely built for gravel/offroad and I honestly find it feels a little boring to ride on paved roads. Perfectly capable, just not that interesting or exciting the way my road bike is.

    Turbo Tero 5.0 motor variations

    Como 5.0 and Vado 5.0 are the only two 2.2 motors in class 3 that I'm aware of.

    If the bike does that, my Forerunner 645 isn't fancy enough to know it. ;)

    I'm late to this party, but my Garmin connects just fine to the Tero for cadence tracking. I assume it works just fine for you too, but if it doesn't, just know it should!

    Swapping to a smaller chainring isn't likely to speed him up, it'd just make the pedaling easier (by making each stroke do less). I'd guess he just keeps the motor turned down instead of increasing the assist on the hills? That is one thing I really wish ebikes could get better...

    Hah, I live just a couple miles from the Foothills Trail. Looking forward to them getting the bridge done, I'm right in the middle of the trail and would much rather ride to Enumclaw than Puyallup. That said, I'm a big fan of Farm 12 as a pastry stop at the Puyallup end. Really helps minimize...

    Mission Control-Failed, again

    I don't use Komoot, so that wasn't my issue. It's been a while since I've reliably used Mission Control since I gave up on it (outside of my ride this last weekend), and can't remember for sure what other apps I may have been using, but generally I'll use Google Maps for navigation and Plex Amp...

    Mission Control-Failed, again

    I have all but given up on Mission Control logging. Historically it's failed enough for me to not risk it....although, I will say this last weekend I did a 50 mile ride but my watch (which is what I normally log from) didn't charge the night before, so I risked using Mission Control and it...

    [RESOLVED] (refunded) New Vado 5.0 IGH in the shop, errors galore---updated 4-13-22

    For what it's worth, I've had that same error from OP 3 times on the Tero 5.0. Twice on a single recent 45 mile ride. Adjusting support levels got rid of the error on the heads up display but the motor wouldn't kick on until I turned it all off and on again.
