For This Bike
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.

Hydraulic disc brakes provide smooth powerful stops, fatter 2.3" tires improve stability and compliment the ergonomic grips and comfort saddle
No suspension fork on this particular model, the pointy kickstand can push into soft terrain and allow the bike to fall over, the on/off button is located on the battery vs. the control pad (which would be easier to reach), no shift detection
