The earlier 2020 models like mine had the stem mounted display. The fork mounted display started shipping later last year per other posts.

I'm have difficulty envisioning this. Could you post a picture, please?I learned that I could tie a zip tie to crank and the casing of chainring and this enables you to reverse pedal with chain moving in reverse direction.
this way no need for the rear wheel to turn when cleaning and lubing my chain.

Just run the tie around the crank arm and a pair of slots in the chain wheel. It's pretty obvious when you take a closer look.
Tip: remove it before riding!

He meant doing that:
Since the crank is independent from the chainring, you need to tie both with a zip tie to be able to rotate the chainring backwards.

Can't claim to have ridden all of the "others" as you call them but the Como rides like a nice road bike, not like a minibike or motorcycle.

Haha! That guy is Polish
I have watched many of his Polish vids. I was even not aware it was the SzajBajk/Sick Biker/Supreme Biker until I recognised his voice It was one of his videos in which he explained the differences between different e-bike motor arrangements (front-hub, mid-drive, and rear-hub) that gave me understanding what e-bikes were all about and it made me want an e-bike.

Was that the Paint Creek Trail? I live in the Columbus area and rode part of it out of Washington Courthouse about 10 days ago. It was only a 20 mile ride because of trail closeures. Overall, we are blessed with hundreds of miles of paved trails here in Ohio. My wife and I have put close to 1000 miles on our Como's this summer and love them.
Timely, because I just cleaned the chain and drive train on my Como yesterday and it made a huge difference in the smoothness of shifting and quietness when pedaling. I used to do it with brushes and rags but now use a Park Tools chain scrubber that is so much faster, cleaner and effective.Haha! That guy is Polish

Well, if you enter the community riding e-bike Ferraris, what else could you expect? Vados and Comos:
Have I explained the phenomenon clearly?
Vados and Comos:- Are beautifully designed to be e-bikes from the day one. Full integration of the electric part gives them a distinctive, yet stealthy look;
- They sport meticulously designed geometry for urban and suburban riding;
- All of them are equipped with totally silent mid-drive motors: all other motor brands are noisy;
- Some models come with the most powerful & torquey 250 W nominal motors, the most torquey in their class. Even lower models of Vados and Comos have strong motors
- Many models are Class 3, and it is fun to ride fast when desired so;
- Turbo e-bikes are equipped with high class components as you might expect from one of the leading manufacturer of bikes in the world;
- Turbo e-bikes offer the most comprehensive connectivity with mobile devices and wearables, while the competitors still seem to struggle with that. One of great capabilities of the Turbo bikes is the fact you can instantly and effortlessly tune the motor to match your specific riding needs;
- All e-bikes can break. Specialized honour their warranty, often replacing a defective e-bike with a new one.
- And the Turbo e-bikes are beautiful & elegant. Have I already mentioned that?

Let's say you go out and spend whatever $ on a pos. You don't want to go to the forums and announce to everyone what a pos you have bought, as your $ is now worth less should you wish to resell at some time. Just another possibility.

I do. She means a person who bought a poor, troublesome e-bike wouldn't probably go out to the Forums to announce his/her mistake. On contrary, proud users (we all here) are willing to share how happy they are.
Of course, it is only "another possibility".

Another thing: Driving out for Warmia (read: Var-myah), one of our lakeland regions (the other being the neighbouring Masuria) for a longer Vado ride. I'm considering setting up the default PAS mode to 40/100, as the flexible mode, with the support depending on the torque put into the pedals. We'll see.
