When it comes to e-bikes, you won't often find the words "stylish" and "fun" in their descriptions—that is until the Turbo Como 5.0 with 650b wheels burst onto the scene. With a comfortable geometry, a modern look, nimble 650b wheels with cushy 2.3" tires, and an additional boost from the fully integrated motor, this Turbo Como brings more fun to your bike ride than you ever could have imagined.

Beginning with the integrated Specialized 1.3 motor, it has a higher max torque, max watts, and better heat management and efficiency than its predecessors. It's the most advanced motor ever found on an urban e-bike. Of course, it still features a silent operating design with our Custom Rx Street Tune that takes the output and makes it the most usable for an urban environment. Think of it this way: The more power you put out, the more power the motor puts out, and this makes accelerations from a standstill both quick and efficient. The belt driven motor is also smooth, silent, and free of annoying vibrations. And the max speed? 28mph.

For the Como 5.0, we developed a custom 604 Wh battery that seamlessly integrates into the frame, is lockable, and easily removable for simplified charging. In other words, there's plenty of juice to take you to and from work, a trip to the grocery store, or even to that new café on the other side of the city. If you wish to see exactly how far you can go on a charge, have a look at our Turbo Range Calculator for more exact estimates.

The new wired Turbo Connect Display (TCD-w) is the best way to view data on your Turbo. It not only displays important ride metrics (speed, cadence, rider power, distance, battery level, time, etc.), it also allows you to connect the latest version of the Mission Control App for an enhanced Turbo experience. With our free app for iOS and Android phones, you easily customize motor parameters, control your range, record/upload rides, and perform basic system diagnosis. The agile 650b wheels, meanwhile, have also been paired with cushy 2.3-inch tires, so they can roll over most cracks, bumps, and holes with ease to ensure that nothing stands in your way on your path to a good time. And to top off all of these innovative features, we chose a high-end spec that includes Shimano XT/SLX 11-speed components, four-piston hydraulic disc brakes, front/rear lights, racks, and fenders.

  • The custom E5 aluminum frame on the Como, cleanly houses the battery and motor, while still keeping the lightweight properties that E5 is known for.

  • The Turbo Como’s Specialized 1.3 motor with Rx Street Tune is the most powerful and efficient motor ever to be found on an urban e-bike. It's fully integrated with the frame, and it's also been custom-tuned for city riding. It intuitively reacts to the force of your pedaling, so the harder you pedal, the more power it delivers. And with an internal belt drive design, it does this without added vibration for the smoothest and most silent ride possible.

  • We made the custom 600 Wh battery to be fully integrated with the frame, removable for easy charging, and lockable for added security. It communicates with the display and has multiple modes to maximize the overall efficiency and range. For range estimates based upon a variety of variables, please refer to our Turbo Range Calculator.

Finally the perfect ebike for me.

Here is why I love this new ride. 1. It is a very stable and comfortable ride. The seating position is perfect. The saddle is very comfortable. It handles extremely well. It rides well with the larger tires. The swept back handlebars are perfect. 2. Although not light, the bike is lighter by almost 20 pounds compared to my other two ebikes. 3. The mid-drive motor is very powerful, very quiet, and is seamless in its operation. I have ridden other mid-drive ebikes and none were as smooth. 4. The range is excellent. I have used the Mission Control app to reduce the assist levels in level 1 so that I get a more challenging ride. I always ride in this lower assist level. With it I have repeatedly biked 60 miles with still over 50% charge remaining on the large battery. 5. The front rack is nice. I used to have bags on the rear racks on my other ebikes and I was always hitting them with my leg when mounting the bike. With the rack in front this problem is gone. 6. It is a great looking bike. I get compliments on it everywhere I go. In short, I couldn't be happier with this purchase. The attention to detail on the bike is amazing, the build quality superb, and the components are first rate.

bike with AFTERBURNER

fun, fast, quiet. upright geometry with a seat thats sooo much better.and more comfortable than the sporty SL, but thats a different ride. up to full assist speed in seconds, yet amazingly easy to pedal the 50 pounds without assist. lifting it is another matter but what ya gonna do.... took the rack off, looks much better (i dont commute or use it to shop)
