2020 Specialized Turbo Vado 3.0 Electric Hybrid Bike - Charcoal/Black

When your life is always on-the-go, busy, and you don't have enough time, the Turbo Vado 3.0 Step-Through is the bike for you. It's made to accommodate busy lives that are always in movement, which is why Specialized took their award-winning pedal-assist technology and accelerated it well into the future.

Beginning with the integrated Specialized 1.2 E motor, the Turbo Vado proves itself as the ultimate city bike. The 1.2 E uses the same hardware as the 1.2 motor, but it features a tune that prioritises efficiency. This means less peak torque and maximum output. It still features a near-silent operating design with a Custom Rx Street Tune that takes the output and makes it the most usable for an urban environment. So, the more power you put out, the more power the motor puts out, and this makes accelerations from a standstill at, say, a traffic light both quick and efficient. The belt driven motor is also smooth, silent, and free of annoying vibrations. The max speed is 28mph.

A custom Specialized U1-460 battery was developed for the Turbo Vado 3.0 that seamlessly integrates into the frame, is lockable, and easily removable for simplified charging. So, there's plenty of power to take you to and from work, for a trip to the grocery store, or even to that new café on the other side of the city (for coffee and that well deserved cake, of course). If you wish to see exactly how far you can go on a charge, have a look at the Specialized Turbo Range Calculator for more exact estimates.

The new wired Turbo Connect Display (TCD-w) is the best way to view data on your Turbo. It not only displays important ride metrics (speed, cadence, rider power, distance, battery level, time, etc.), it also allows you to connect the latest version of the Mission Control App for an enhanced Turbo experience. With a free app for iOS and Android phones, you easily customise motor parameters, control your range, record/upload rides, and perform basic system diagnosis.

To top off all of the innovative features, Specialized chose a worry-free spec that features Shimano 9-speed components, hydraulic disc brakes, racks, front/rear lights, and mudguards.

• The Turbo Vado frame features an alloy frame that's pretty light and super easy to get on or off of.
• The Turbo Vado’s Specialized 1.2 E motor emphasises efficiency and range. Specialized also fully integrated it with the frame, and it's been custom-tuned for city riding. It intuitively reacts to the force of your pedaling, so the harder you pedal, the more power it delivers. With an internal belt drive design, it does this without added vibration for the smoothest and most silent ride possible.
• The custom 460 Wh battery was made to be fully integrated with the frame, removable for easy charging, and lockable for added security. It communicates with the display and has multiple modes to maximise the overall efficiency and range.
