Electric bikes have become extremely popular in the past year, but they still face a long-term problem: many people don't like cycling.
Specilaized Turbo Como SL 5.0 Review / First Impressions – The Best Commuter Bike?
Bicycles can be uncomfortable and intimidating for newcomers, and while they are much cheaper to maintain than a car, most bikes require frequent gear adjustments, chain replacement, and lubrication. Most don’t come with a rack, forcing owners to carry a sweaty, uncomfortable backpack.
The Specialized Como SL 5.0 ($4,800) solves these problems with a friendly design that, in terms of refinement, feels like the iPhone of e-bikes. Yet the bike also makes tough decisions that undermine its appeal.
When I say the Specialized Como SL 5.0 is accessible, I mean it literally. The bike’s sleek design and step-through frame make it accessible to more riders. You don’t have to do a few laps with Yoga by Adriene to get on this machine.
