2021 Specialized Turbo Vado 4.0 Step-Through Hybrid Electric Bike

The Turbo Vado 4.0 Step-Through takes award-winning and exclusive technology and tailors it to a package that's designed for getting you around your day-to-day life quicker than ever before. It's you, only faster.

Beginning with the integrated Specialized 1.2 motor, the Turbo Vado proves itself as the ultimate city bike. The 1.2 motor features a 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 both quick and efficient. The belt driven motor is also smooth, silent, and free of annoying vibrations.

A custom Specialized U1-500 battery was developed for the Vado 4.0 that seamlessly integrates into the frame, is lockable, and easily removable for simplified charging. This means there's plenty of juice to take you to and from work, a trip to the grocery store, or even to that new café on the other side of town.

The new Turbo Connect Display (TCD) is the best way to view data on your Turbo. It displays basic ride metrics (speed, cadence, power, battery level, and time) and also lets you toggle between modes. Its design is rugged and clean, and it has multiple mounting options for either road or mountain setups. As for the latest version of the Mission Control App, you’ll find that it now has more features and is even more intuitive to use. It lets you custom-tune nearly every aspect of the bike with ease, monitor your power usage, control your range, perform basic system diagnoses, and record/upload rides.

To top off all of the innovative features, a worry-free spec was chosen that features Shimano 10-speed components, hydraulic disc brakes, racks, front/rear lights, and mudguards.

• The Turbo Vado frame features an alloy step-through frame that's pretty light and super easy to get on or off of.
• The Turbo Vado’s Specialized 1.2 motor has been fully integrated with the frame, and it's been custom-tuned for city riding. Specialized designed it to intuitively react 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 500 Wh battery has been 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. For range estimates based upon a variety of variables, please refer to the Turbo Range Calculator.
