    Replacing saddle and seat post on Turbo Como 4.0 IGH

    Any suspension post is a good choice.

    Pedaling with no power.

    You are describing the internal gear belt drive to a tee. On the Como anyway. The IGH requires power.

    Does Anyone have experience using a suspension seat post with a sprung saddle?

    It is hard to imagine. With rubber tires, suspension seat posts, seat springs, and seat foam and gel all different rebound rates, my spine is fooled with the result. I also have gel seat cover I haven't tried yet. I just bought another ebike because I've lost 20 lbs since I bought my first...

    The riding modes can be adjusted to reduce power drain. You can have, for example, 20% of the power from the motor and also reduce the motor output (amp) to 20%. On the como with will give you a "normal" feeling bike effort. But if the (amps) are set at 100%, this will have the motor pushing...

    2023 Specialized Turbo Como 5.0 IGH/Pedal Pace

    For me, the plug had pulled out some and the IGH was working off an on. The wiring is tight and the plug is on the shifter casing.

    Lectric XP and Neck Pain

    All bikes are welded. So the danger is a poor welding job.

    Specialized/Brose motor failures?

    Then you want a second bike, so one can get repairs when needed.

    Turbo Connect Display - Cadence?

    Cadence screen shows after a short press on F2 button, but will not show if the connection is loose. Ask me how I know that.

    Prodigy and low pedal cadence

    A person could consider a low step though as an option - for health reasons. It real nice not lifting my leg in the air.

    Turbo Vado 5.0: IGH or chain?

    I prefer the slowest cadence possible. Then I have to reduce the power some or the battery drains relatively fast. In high scool I composed a song: I'm a 10th gear rider, Baby....I'm gunna ride all over you. I'm a 10th gear rider, Baby....I'm gunna ride all over you. I do my crusin in 10th...

    Does Anyone have experience using a suspension seat post with a sprung saddle?

    Both our new bikes have both the spring seat and the suntour suspension posts.

    Does Anyone have experience using a suspension seat post with a sprung saddle?

    The more my butt sits on a cloud, the more miles I ride and more often. With no back pain, I ride daily. My non-electric was dusty from just sitting and now has been mothballed.

    Does Anyone have experience using a suspension seat post with a sprung saddle?

    Ah, my mistake. Your SunTour is worn out or adjusted wrong. The seat action should have a good amount of friction during use. It should be difficult to compress and recoil should also be muted, not free springing. I didn't consider that my setup is new. Still, I've considered adding memory...

    2023 Specialized Turbo Como 5.0 IGH/Pedal Pace

    I think it's a connector. It's now Sept 16th 2023 and the update doesn't fix the problem. Just rebooted 4 times and forced a firmware update today. It seems to be a hardware problem. Update: yes, the plug on the shifter case was partway out. This causes the menu not to show.

    2023 Specialized Turbo Como 5.0 IGH/Pedal Pace

    There is a system fault. My guess is that the problem is a connector. Mine is acting just like yours, and the bike shop is aware of the problem but not informed of a solution. I'll ask them to reconnect everything because mine worked fine for two weeks then went back to being clueless.

    Yes, this manufacture of IGH has a documented drain on power. If you turn off the assist, you are lucky to move the bike. At a high cadence setting I couldn't move faster than walking.

    Turbo Como 5.0 IGH - Cadence screen missing

    There is no cadence settings on my mission control or on the bike display. Anyone know what connections are the problem? Where exactly on the autoshifter? Update: The autoshifter was not 100% plugged in. Once fitted, tight THEN the Cadence menu becomes visible, like magic.

    Does Anyone have experience using a suspension seat post with a sprung saddle?

    A suspension seat post like the suntour is like riding a cloud. That's what my spine says anyway. Ok, I admit, we both have spring saddles as well. And thick ones. But not the double width they sell. Not that they aren't comfortable, but they limit my pedaling comfort, and my Como has no...
