NBD Here is my Specialized Turbo Tero X 6.0

[California]

It is the stock rack, with a self custom made top plate/platform adapter. You can see pictures of it in here.

That's exactly the kind of rack I want. Specialized says I can't put a Vado rack on it because of the Full Suspension.
That's a Topeak standard rack? What model?
Can you explain a little more about the adapter?

He's using the stock fender/rack. He just added a flat platform on top (which the stock one lacks). It would be tricky to install any hardtail rack on it. There are aftermarket FS mountain bike racks, though.

I guess my question then is where do you buy a flat platform that will fit and how do you install it?

Topeak Tetrarack M2 if I can remember correctly, and the Old Man Mountain for North America. The latter is the best product of all of them.

Tetrarack on my FS Stance E.



Old Man Mountain is more solid, will take more weight, but is more of a PITA installation wise and not easily removed.

I’ve always admired that bike, Dave, from your pics… that rack is a hell of a good addition.

Thanks bud!
It's been a great ride so far indeed. The rack has become very useful, but caps out around 25lbs for carrying weight.

Have had this bike for two days and I absolutely love this beast. It replaced my Turbo Vado 5.0 IGH which was causing me so much headache. (Slippage, speed issue, motor and radar error.) I had the Vado 5.0 IGH for 1 month and it was a constant headache, and luckily the LBS took it back for a full refund without any problem.

Yeah, spring saddle on a FS bike. I hate the stick saddle it came with, and the fat saddle I’m currently running now is an old spare saddle I found laying around in my basement. It feel’s comfortable, so I didn’t find the need to buy new saddle.

The differences between the Turbo Tero X 6.0 and the Vado 5.0 IGH are nights and days. It beats the Vado 5.0 IGH out of the water.

I know it has only been 2 days, but this has been my best e-bike purchase ever.View attachment 155646View attachment 155647

Great bike. I bought one too this summer. Looking at your rack combination, can you tell me how you fabricated that rack platform to be supported by the fender pannier rails? The photo link that you posted, no longer works. Here is a photo of my Tero X 6. Awesome bike.

MacGoreth, I want to install a rear rack platform for my Tero X 6.0 like yours. However, the pictures that you originally posted are no longer available. Can you re-post your rear rack photos on your Tero X 6.0 in this thread along with the item brands that you used to assemble your rear rack platform? I want to do the same thing.

Me too!

Also, can someone tell me how easy or difficult it would be to temporarily remove both the front and rear femders and racks/support rod?
Ihave a Tero X 6.0 on order with my LBS. [I hate the deadly dull black of the bike but did not want to wait until January/February 2025 for the new Gloss Deep Lake Metallic that the Spesh rep said is coming.]
An in-law of mine is a retired auto body guy who still paints. I’d like to have him do something wild on the fenders, rack, and front fender supports.

Seems like the only thing wired into the bike is the rear taillight. Is there an accessible plug in the harness to unplug it from the bike?

Thanks!

temporarily remove both the front and rear femders

The taillight is attached to the rear fender and the cable runs in a groove in the fender until it jumps over to the bottom bracket. There's no disconnect except the one inside the motor. You'd have to add one if you want to regularly remove and replace it.
