my take on a short lived ride:
one week and less than 50 miles i had the dealer buy it back..
inconsistent power, no power. final straw pedaling in turbo on a 4 mile level stretch and
couldn't top 22mph felt like it needed a couple more gears yet sometimes
in sport mode in 1st 2nd 3rd gears from a stop it would take off like a
'rocket' and then sometimes no power at all, just free-wheeling crank for 10
sec until it figured out what to do.
i'm not putting up with that for $4500 and dealers around here DO NOT carry spare motors/parts. it all has to go
back to specialized.
i wouldn't put up with defects on a $100 item out of the box let alone what these bikes cost.
putting it in the shop instead of riding it every time it decides not to work correctly doesn't work for me. bad computer or motor who knows? i wouldn't let the shop play with it. i did a factory reset on it, works for a while then acts up soon afterward.
