Purchased Tero 5.0 class 3 in Aug. 23. At 73 years old I love the 4x me power to get up the many hills in the PNW. I'm mostly on pavement, but there's a major gravel trail not far from the house that's about 10 miles long that I use occasionally. I swapped out the tires for a more friendly pavement and gravel tire. I also swapped out the 36T chainring for a 44T and at 70 RPM pedaling I can achieve 23 MPH very easily. Not many mountain bike trails in my vicinity without transporting the bike and traveling. The 36T ring was just not enough for pavement use. I also have a Turbo Vado SL 5.0 that is 2x me and is a bit more work, but is much lighter at 31 lbs. instead of the 50 lbs. of the Tero 5.0. Both are a lot of fun and I hope to be riding for more years to come.

Love the bike use it to get to work every day. Ride is comfortable. I wish there was a way to lock the bike computer without using a phone.

Very satisfied with the quality of the ebike a really solid and powerful ebike but brakes could be much better also the fork.

So far, bike has lived up to all expectations. Battery life seems very good.

Awesome all around bike! Very stable and reassuring off-road manners. Also I use it in town. A versatile commuter and weekend woods bike all in one. Great battery life, been on 5 sprints in my neighborhood and 2 18 mile rides with plenty left to do another 35 miles of riding. I am a large man, concerned about range while carrying my weight and Specialized took away my anxiety. Also one of the few available with an extra large frame available. Looking forward to many more miles and smiles.

Solid build, great range, love the display except when I clean my bike while upside down. The display will hit the ground. I just need to prop up the handlebars.

This bike was a great way to get back into trail riding after a 20 year break! It handles really well, and the ability to dial in the amount of assist you want is top tier. It’s also been a great occasional alternative to my work commute which is 36 miles round trip. I could lean on the batter much harder than I have and still not needed to charge the battery at work…an absolute game changer. If you’re like me and wand want to get out and enjoy nature(and you are not a downhill bomber), I can’t think of a better fit than this bike. If I could change anything, it might be the mounting hole positions under the top tube…this was by no means a deal-breaker for me though. This was my first e-bike purchase and I had serious concerns about buyer’s remorse after getting it…happy to report those concerns no longer exist!

I have been waiting for a hard tail eMTB from Specialized to be available. I got the Tero 5.0 XL. So much power and so smooth to ride. I am a bigger guy, 6'4", 290 lbs. This bike feels solid and fits me great. I changed out the tires to 2.6 Butchers front and back, they fit and ride great. My wife has had the Levo SL for a while now, finally I will be able to keep up!

Love this bike! Unless you really think you need all that extra suspension, or want to spend $2000+ more, this bike is the answer for a budget. Great bike for the money. The only nit is the SRAM Shifters and Brakes, they work fine and all, just not as nice as Deore, IMHO. I would recommend this product to anyone interested a serious mountain bike without all the extra suspension. It's a pleasure to ride.

This bike is amazing. I was having difficulty keeping my HR in a healthy range when climbing on a road or on a trail. This seems to be the answer for me.
