Introducing the Specialized Turbo Vado 4.0 Active Electric Bike - your ticket to high-speed adventures with a dose of expert FUN! Meet your new high-performance transportation companion, Vado, blending speed, reliability, and confidence like a true superstar on two wheels. Whether you're cruising with a load or zipping off to work or the gym, Vado's raw power and epic range will have you shouting "A to B, here I come!"
The Specialized Vado is the ultimate e-powered transport marvel, boasting balanced handling and unparalleled comfort that'll make your commute a joyride. This bike is a class leader through and through.
At its core, the Vado rocks the Turbo technology, a mind-blowing electric bike system that cranks up the power, offers an authentic ride feel, throws in anti-theft wizardry, dishes out training tips, and even flaunts a full-featured bike computer.
In the power department, it's like having four versions of you on one bike! The Turbo Full Power system senses your pedal prowess and magnifies it, turning hill climbs into a walk in the park and long distances into a breeze.
Comfort and confidence are Vado's middle names. Its body position and handling are tuned to perfection, delivering unmatched riding pleasure, control, and swagger. The hydraulic disc brakes are your trusty sidekicks for speed control, while those beefy tires grip the road like a champ.
Prepare for a silky-smooth journey courtesy of an 80mm front suspension fork, high-volume tires, and a plush suspension seat post. Those pesky bumps will hardly be a bother.
Worried about bike bandits? Fear not! Vado's got your back with a built-in anti-theft lock. Disable that motor with a single button press, ensuring no one revs up your ride without your phone or personalized pin. Plus, the battery locks right into the bike or goes with you, and an alarm will serenade any would-be thieves. Take a hike, burglars!
Remember, the speed limit where the motor bows out might change depending on your location's rules, affecting your range. But hey, with Vado, you're always riding high, no matter where the road takes you!
Features:
- Turbo Full Power 2.0 motor and 710Wh battery offer an unparalleled riding experience, providing a smooth, seamless, and shockingly quiet amplification of your efforts, up to 28 mph. The integrated controller responds to your pedal inputs resulting in intuitive amplification of your efforts with an incredibly natural feel.
- MasterMind and Specialized app - The MasterMind display reveals all relevant info about your ride and allows real-time tuning of support levels. MasterMind seamlessly integrates with the Specialized app for range optimization tools, advanced tuning, on-ride diagnostics, and more.
- Proven Smooth Efficiency - We designed a custom testing mechanism to analyze bumps at even the smallest frequency to increase comfort and vision. That precision, paired with a suspended seatpost, higher volume tires, and an 80 mm suspension fork, will flatten roads before your eyes.
- Turbo System Lock - Use the Specialized app to disable your bike’s motor and activate the motion sensor alarm. Once locked, the motor cannot be enabled again except by the owner.
- Fully Integrated Removable and Lockable Downtube Battery - Easy to charge, easy to secure.
- Equipped with DRYTECH Fenders, LED front and rear lights, and 27kg capacity rear HD Rack. The rear rack is compatible with child bike seats, and the bike is also rated to pull a thru-axle trailer.
- Long-Range - With a ride-anywhere range, go up to 90 miles (145 km) or 6.5 hours on a single charge (eco mode).
