    2022 Turbo Como 4.0 Brakes

    Purchased my 3rd Como in April got the 2022 model 4.0 Class 3 bike. My biggest disappointment of the bike is Specialized decision to go away from Shimano components to Sram in there brakes and shifters. The shifters are fine but the brakes ability to slow down this bike downhill at a high rate...

    Mission Control App - Turbo Vado Solution Now Available

    I did that for my Turbo Como 3.0 and they sent a new computer and wiring to my dealer and had it installed and the Mission Control app does now work with my bike. I guess the Bloks software was never going to be compatible.

    Specialized Turbo Como 3.0

    Took a look at my battery compartment and the shim is already there so that means they need to do something else to fix my problem, going to give them 1 more chance to do something before I push for a refund and move on to another bike for this kind of money. No one seems to concerned which is...

    Specialized Turbo Como 3.0

    Any possible way you would be willing to take a pic of where the shim goes in case the LBS keeps stroking me around. They should have contacted Specialized when I brought the bike in but of course no one did and they did not even get the description of the problem right on the work order.

    Two issues with new Vado 2.0

    I have a como 3.0 and had the same issues. The trip I reset by holding in the - button until the flash back and forth and read zero because it does not reset as per owners manual. The second thing is how at times it feels like the brakes are coming on and loose assist and going to talk to dealer...

    Bionx 500D Growling

    Well took it out for a 20 mile road test today and it sure is much quieter and smoother than my last motor. No growl or noise even. It used to surge in level 4 assist but not any more so far very happy with replacement motor and its operation. Rode in level 3 assist the whole time for 20 miles...

    Bionx 500D Growling

    Ok it took almost 3 weeks but I got my bike back from Blue Heron Bikes in Berkeley, Ca. So Bionx sent a new motor and wheel assembly out to repair the problem and on first road test it seems super quiet and smooth. My complaint is that I had to pay 100.00 in labor to Blue Heron since Bionx does...

    Battery distance feedback

    Thanks for the replies and the info. I am using a Bionx 500D system now and can get over 40 miles per battery charge and I ride in level3 assist all the time. I have been having issues with the system and hope they get it figured out. I bought my wife a mid drive bike with a 350W curie drive and...

    Bionx 500D Growling

    Yes I dropped it off at Blue Heron Bikes in Berkeley on Monday. They said they are waiting to see what Bionx wants to do and feel its in the motor. Has gotten worse and does it almost every ride. Glad it did it for them to verify complaint. Will post what happens when its fixed.

    Battery distance feedback

    Thinking about installing a 500W Bafang Mid Drive kit because I think the 1000 would be overkill for me. Looking to get the kind of mileage with the way I ride like I do with my Bionx 500W system. I can get well over 40 miles on a battery charge. They say the trick is getting a battery that has...

    Bionx 500D Growling

    I have a Bionx 500D on a recumbent and every once in a while the wheel starts making noise and does not want to assist. This has happened 2 times after hitting a bump and today after coming down a hill with brake lever in regen. I shut the system off and then back on and it was ok. Last time I...
