The Como is intended and tested for General Purpose Riding (Condition 2) use only.
Bikes designed for riding Condition 1, plus smooth gravel roads and
CONDITION 2 improved trails with moderate grades where the tires do not lose ground
contact.
For paved roads, gravel or dirt roads that are in good condition, and bike
INTENDED
paths.
Not for off-road or mountain bike use, or any kind of jumping. Some of
these bikes have suspension features, but these features are designed
to add comfort, not off-road capability. Some come with relatively wide
NOT
tires that are well suited to gravel or dirt paths. Some come with relatively
INTENDED
narrow tires that are best suited to faster riding on pavement. If you ride on
gravel or dirt paths, carry heavier loads, or want more tire durability, talk to
your Authorized Specialized Retailer about wider tires.
The Como is classified as a Pedelec/EPAC. Regardless of its classification, it will provide
motor support only while pedaling. Depending on the classification, there can be different
requirements and regulations affecting your use of the bicycle.
INFO: Before using your Como bicycle, please inform yourself of all
applicable legal requirements and regulations in your country or state. There
may be restrictions on riding your Como bicycles on public roads, cycling
paths, and/or trails. There may also be applicable helmet requirements, age
restrictions or license or insurance requirements. Specialized does not, and
will not, make any promise, representation, or warranty regarding the use of
your Como bicycle. As laws and regulations regarding electric bicycles vary
by country and/or state and are constantly changing, please make sure to
obtain the latest information. You should also regularly see your Authorized
Specialized Retailer for updated information.
CAUTION: All Como bicycles have a fixed pre-set speed limit at which the
motor support will automatically shut off. Any unauthorized tampering with
the power output and/or system is prohibited and will void the warranty.
WARNING! Keep your feet on the pedals at all times during riding.
