The act of getting around town should be as much of an experience as your final destination, and there's no better way to do it than with Specializeds line of Urban E-Bikes. That's why we recommend faster bikes for busy lives like the Turbo Vado 4.0 step-through. It takes the 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 the custom RX street tune that takes the output and makes it the most usable for an urban environment. Think of it this way: 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.
And the max speed? 15mph.
For the Vado 4.0 Specialized developed a custom u1-500 battery that seamlessly integrates into the frame, is lockable, and easily removable for simplified charging. In other words there's plenty of juice to take you to and from work a trip to the grocery store or even to that new cafe on the other side of the city.
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 the free app for IOS or Android phones you easily customize motor parameters, control your range, record/upload rides and perform basic system diagnosis.
To top off all of the innovative features they chose a worry-free spec that features Shimano 10-speed components hydraulic disc brakes, rack, front/rear lights and mudguards.
