I bought my Tero 5.0 in November of last year. The motor has always been a bit louder than I expected, especially in turbo under load, but lately the noise level has been steadily increasing to the point that after about just two miles it sounded like it had an external speaker announcing its...

FYI my Tero 5.0 is getting a new motor under warranty. So if you have one that starts getting progressively louder, get it in before the warranty period ends which appears to be two years from the original purchase date.

So I would get a Garmin inRech or similar product like this: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/765374/pn/010-02602-00 and not try to get apples from oranges. I would use whatever bike computer best suits my cycling needs (wants) and have an emergency sat com unit for emergencies. I still haven’t...

Hey speaking of that motor, my 5.0 is in the shop for warranty evaluation because of rather significant motor noise after riding only a couple miles. I know I ride it a little hard, and probably use turbo on steep hills more than I should, but I figured the 2.2/90 could take it. Maybe not so...

I haven’t read all of this but I use a Garmin 530 on top of the bike display. The combination gives me all the info/capability I need including the ability for others to track me with “Incident Detection”...

We have a nice trail system nearby - Hidden Falls, Auburn Ca, and a really low 1st is necessary for some of the single track climbs. Im 65, 235lbs and this is something I never would have attempted before, and I would say I’m not good at it at all, but it is something I can now attempt with at...

Just did a little mod/upgrade to our Tero 3.0: Eagle GX 12 speed (11-50) combined with a Praxis 44T chainring. Greatly improved top end performance and also better climbing ability. Great bike, my wife loves it, but it was lacking in both top end and climbing categories. Now it is fast enough...

I do enjoy the bike immensely, on a desert trip now riding every day. 227’ below sea level yesterday on the shores of the Salton Sea, out on a military reserve today (found some interesting stuff). Out here I can get 45-50 miles out of the bike on more or less flat terrain. At home I could...

Got pics of the bike of an example?

I’m a rookie with ebikes, didn’t ride anything much in the last 40 years (commonly rode 50 miles/day on my old ’72 Peugeot 10 speed in my youth), but I’ve put about 500 miles on my new Tero 5.0 and while its ridiculously heavy for a bicycle (60lbs), I don’t see much in the way of alternatives...

JB Weld is also a good 2-part epoxy for most things. Sets up slowly but works well. It dries grey so it might be a little ugly.

a bike with no name 10 miles along my ride today

seems a little loose

I see Rize is offering a free second battery. If you didn’t get in on that initially maybe you can talk them into it now for your troubles.

I could see buying a cheaper bike on-line, but when I realized I was in the $3500 - $4500+ price range (and buying two of them) it was LBS only for me. I wanted to see the actual bike, feel it, inspect it, make sure it was right for me, all that. But then my LBS is 20 miles away (several of them...

we are clearly not in the target market but you can be sure there is one and it will probably do well there. Maybe when I’m 80 and living in a trailer park…. It doesn’t have to make sense, it just is. They should have a backwards mullet option so you can stack more stuff on a low front...

Maybe with those 20” wheels its not so bad. It also has big brakes probably consistent with the load spec.

I noticed that gearing too - 50T chainring! And with an 11-36 cassette it would only handle moderate hills. Good for Boston maybe but not SF. And it would have to be a 28mph bike to be useful, otherwise you would just be a hazard in traffic. It certainly has enough battery. It looks to me like...

Just found this in my email: https://www.specialized.com/us/en/haul-st/p/200057?color=323191-200057&searchText=91022-8000 $2700 with lots of accessories to drive the price up a bit.

The 44T is on there now (there’s room for a 48) and working well but 2nd is now more like 3rd and there is no 1st - I haven’t lengthened the chain and the bike wasn’t happy in 1st, so I just locked it out with derailleur adjustment - this is still the experimental stage. But everything else...
