2021 Specialized Turbo Vado 3.0 Step Through Electric Hybrid Bike - Clay

Season:2021

Brand:Specialized

Code:293098312809

If your life is characterised by constant movement, busyness, and a perpetual lack of time, then the Turbo Vado 3.0 Electric Bike is tailor-made for you. Designed to seamlessly integrate into fast-paced lifestyles, this bike takes award-winning pedal-assist technology and propels it into the future.

Powered by the integrated Specialized 1.2 E motor, the Turbo Vado establishes itself as the ultimate city bike. Sharing hardware with Specialized's renowned 1.2 motor, it boasts a tune prioritising efficiency, resulting in reduced peak torque and maximum output. Operating near-silently with a Custom Rx Street Tune, this motor optimally suits urban environments, responding to your power input to deliver swift and efficient accelerations. The belt-driven motor ensures a smooth, silent ride, devoid of disruptive vibrations.

For the Vado 3.0, Specialized developed a custom Specialized U1-460 battery, seamlessly integrated into the frame for easy removal and charging. With ample power for commuting, grocery runs, or leisurely rides across the city, you'll have the juice to explore every corner. Consult the Turbo Range Calculator for precise range estimates.

The new Turbo Connect Display (TCD) provides essential ride metrics and allows mode toggling with its rugged and versatile design. Paired with the latest Mission Control App, offering enhanced features and intuitive usability, you can fine-tune every aspect of your ride experience, monitor power usage, control range, diagnose systems, and record/upload rides.

To complement these innovations, a worry-free spec includes Shimano 9-speed components, hydraulic disc brakes, front and rear lights, and mudguard and rack mounts, ensuring a reliable and enjoyable ride.

  • The Turbo Vado boasts a lightweight alloy frame designed with Specialized's Fitness/Transportation Geometry for optimal comfort and functionality.
  • Driven by the Specialized 1.2 E motor, the Turbo Vado prioritises efficiency and range, seamlessly integrated into the frame and custom-tuned for urban riding. Responding intuitively to your pedaling force, it delivers power without added vibration for a smooth, silent ride.
  • The custom 460 Wh battery, fully integrated and removable for charging, communicates with the display for efficient power management. Consult the Turbo Range Calculator for accurate range estimates.
