Gearing

A bike with lower gearing will be easier to ride up steep hills, while a higher top end means it will pedal faster down hills.

Specialized Turbo Como 3.0

Nov 2021

The 2022 version of the Specialized Como, as tested here, is virtually a new e-bike compared to the previous version. Whilst it is still a city bike rather than one geared towards out and out sporty performance, Specialized have emphasised comfort and convenience even more - most noticeably by bringing in a totally new frame design with a lower step-over height to make the bike even easier to get on and off.

Specialized Turbo Como 5.0 Review

Nov 2019

Price: $4150.00 | Model Year: 2020 | A great top of the line model for Specialized, starts at $4,150 and has relaxed cruiser riding position, hydraulic brakes, front rack, a smooth mid-drive motor, 28mph top speed, and a lot of great little features

Observations
  • A great top of the line model for Specialized, starts at $4,150 and has relaxed cruiser riding position, hydraulic brakes, front rack, a smooth mid-drive motor, 28mph top speed, and a lot of great little features

  • Features a custom Brose S ALU mid-drive motor that was tuned just for Specialized, high capacity 36v 16.8ah frame integrated battery, TCD display, 11 speed Shimano Deore derailleur, and Shimano 180mm front 160mm rear hydraulic brakes

  • Included fenders with great mounting points, plush saddle with elastomer bumpers, Nimbus Sport high volume tires with reflective sidewall and puncture protection, custom kickstand, and bottle cage bosses

  • No suspension, rear light could easily be blocked by a jacket or coat, and the lower set of bottle cage bosses on the step-through frame don’t have much clearance, so your options in what would fit there accessory wise would be limited
