Specialized Como 3 wheel failure

[d3drturner]

I had the exact same thing happen to the back rim on my Como 5.0 at about 3500 miles (just over a year after purchase). Brought it to my LBS and they were going to contact Specialized about a warranty repair. After a week of not hearing anything I went down to the LBS. They said parts were hard to get but they had a Como 3 that came in damaged that they were using for parts. They took a rim off that bike and I was back on the road that afternoon. No charge. The biggest thing I worry about is not being able to get parts if you need them.

The battery might be hard to get. Mine is at 90% after 229 cycles

The battery might be hard to get.

Not necessarily. Just place the order for the 604 Wh battery at your Specialized LBS and await. Sooner or later you would get it (mine should be available in several weeks hopefully; I'm in Europe). Unfortunately, the battery is quite expensive (it is US$1,250 for my region).

This is still not bad. If you are ordering a new battery, order the battery cover, too. Then you will be able to use your existing battery as a spare.
