Specialized Turbo Vado 5.0 IGH E-Bike Description:
Consider Vado your high-performance transportation bike, ditch the car, and pedal to your destination with speed and reliability while embracing a healthier lifestyle. Whether you load it up for a work commute, a ride to the gym, or a quick spin to the local cafe, Vado’s full power and long-range battery takes your power and amplifies it by four to get you from ‘point A’ to ‘point B’ efficiently and with confidence. Additional gearing flexibility is added thanks to the unique, stepless shifting Enviolo CITY Internally Geared hub and Gates Carbon Belt drive, which is much lower maintenance and cleaner running than a traditional drivetrain with a derailleur and chain, while also providing a huge gear range to make it much easier to cruise up hills and expand the comfortable riding range. Strong wheels shod in supple tires and a suspension fork smooth out city streets and provide stability and traction over rough roads and urban trails. Finally, this versatile e-bike is equipped with a rear rack for carrying bags and gear, full fenders to keep you dry on wet roads, and integrated lights to alert those around you of your presence to keep you safe during early morning commutes and relaxing rides in the evening.
- TURBO: The heart of the Vado is its Turbo technology, an advanced and integrated electric bike system that delivers an unequaled combination of power, natural feel, anti-theft functions, training tips, and a full-function bike computer.
- POWERFUL: It’s you, just faster — it’s 4x You. The Turbo Full Power system senses the force you apply to the pedals and naturally quadruples it for an experience that makes getting up any hill or to any destination no sweat. Literally.
- COMFORTABLE AND CONFIDENT: Body position and handling are optimized to deliver unsurpassed riding comfort, confidence, and control. Powerful hydraulic disc brakes reign in your speed, while larger tires provide maximum traction for turning and stopping.
- SMOOTH: Stay comfortable in the saddle with an 80mm front suspension fork, higher volume tires, and a plush suspension seat post that smooths harsh bumps from points A to B.
- SECURE: Vado has anti-theft lock built right into the bike. Prevent would-be bike thieves by disabling the motor with a press of a button so no one can turn on the motor without your phone connected to the Specialized app or your personalized pin. The Vado’s battery locks in the bike or can be easily taken with you. And if anyone tries to move your bike an alarm will sound. Beat it, thieves.
