Top-Notch Technology for Effortless Shifting and a Comfortable, Confident Ride The following is EBR’s review of the Specialized Turbo Como 3.0 IGH, which covers all the specifics you need to know when considering this electric bike. Designed and built by a leader in the bicycle world, the Turbo Como 3.0 is a Class 1 e-bike
This bike has “smooth” written all over it: smooth motor, smooth gearing, smooth handling, smooth looks.
Brand reputation – Specialized produces excellent bikes, so you know you’re getting a good e-bike from them.
Great acceleration and high torque, along with consistent cruising speed from the proprietary mid-drive motor.
Simple and stepless gear changes with the long lasting, low maintenance Enviolo internal gear hub.
Impressive 63-mile range, thanks to the advanced battery management system.
Awesome riding comfort and minimal physical demands with the Como’s industry-leading ergonomics design.
No greasy, noisy chain thanks to the Gates belt drive, which also lasts up to 3 times longer.
Thwart thieves through the Mission Control app that disables the motor and battery until the owner re-activates it.
Awesome stopping power with the Shimano BR-MT200, hydraulic disc brakes.
Baby seat compatible rear rack, with 59 lb capacity.
Can’t switch handlebars because the stem is custom to only work on the Como.

Price: $3750.00 | Model Year: 2022 | A refined cruiser electric bike that's lighter than most. Incredibly approachable wave step-thru frame. It's more active and sporty with narrow handlebar and suspension fork. Smooth responsive Brose motor is custom tuned by Specialized. Available in three frame sizes, four colors, and several trim levels. The IGH stands for internally geared hub, and relates to the enviolo continuously variable transmission on this particular version.

The IGH stands for internally geared hub, and relates to the enviolo continuously variable transmission on this particular version.
Emphasis on safety with bright integrated lights, reflective decals, and reflective tires that are puncture resistant. The headlight is positioned very well, and the rear light wraps around the sides to expand your visual footprint. Included fenders are some of the best I have ever seen with sturdy build, excellent coverage, and water routing design. Powerful hydraulic disc brakes with adjustable-reach levers.
Gates Carbon Belt Drive is cleaner, quieter, and more durable than a traditional chain. All electronic parts are IPX6 rated against water and dust. The integrated battery pack looks beautiful, positions weight perfectly, but can be a little finicky to remove. Integrated USB-C port on the display panel supports the excellent Mission Control smartphone app, which allows trip planning and heart rate monitoring.
Pointy kickstand can sink into soft terrain. The long front fender may scrape on curbs and some tray style bike racks. The enviolo drivetrain is heavier and less efficient than a traditional cassette, adding some friction. Handlebar and stem are not easily adjusted or changed because they are so custom. Smartphone app required to dim display, turn off beeps, and activate the full warranty.

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.
