Introducing the Specialized Turbo Vado 4.0 Step Through Electric Bike – your turbocharged ticket to high-performance transportation with a dash of FUN! The Vado, your trusty sidekick for zipping around town with an unbeatable blend of speed, reliability, and unwavering confidence. Load it up with gear or simply hop on and go; whether it's your daily commute or a quick gym session, the Vado's robust power and remarkable range will have you cruising from 'point A' to 'point B' in no time flat.
The Specialized Vado is the ultimate e-powered transport solution, boasting a perfect equilibrium in handling and elevated levels of comfort that'll have you riding like a pro.
Turbo Charge: At the core of the Vado lies its Turbo technology, a cutting-edge integrated electric bike system that serves up an unparalleled mix of power, a natural riding feel, anti-theft wizardry, expert training tips, and a full-featured bike computer.
Unleash the Power: Imagine you, but four times faster – that's the Turbo Full Power system for you. It senses your pedal power and effortlessly multiplies it, making conquering hills and reaching your destination an absolute breeze.
Comfort and Confidence: Your riding posture and control have been finely tuned for an unrivaled experience in comfort, confidence, and mastery. Precision hydraulic disc brakes rein in your speed, while beefy tires ensure maximum grip for swift turns and smooth stops.
Silky Smooth: Glide through your journey with ease, thanks to an 80mm front suspension fork, cushy high-volume tires, and a plush suspension seat post that gracefully absorbs rough patches along the way.
Safety First: Vado takes your security seriously with an anti-theft lock built right into the bike. Foil potential bike bandits by disabling the motor with a tap on your smartphone through the Specialized app or your personalized pin. Plus, the Vado's battery locks securely in place or can be easily taken with you. And if anyone dares to tamper with your ride, an alarm will promptly send them packing. Take that, would-be thieves!
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.
