Specialized Turbo Vado 3.0 IGH Step-Through Electric Hybrid Bike
The Specialized Turbo Vado 3.0 IGH Step-Through Electric Hybrid Bike uses its Full Power motor and long-lasting battery to deliver reliable, smooth and energising pedalling assistance up to a maximum speed of 15.5 mph / 25 km/h across a multitude of riding scenarios, including commuting, fitness-inspired workouts and long weekend adventures. The motor and battery are accommodated neatly within the lightweight and robust frame to grant a clean silhouette, while the MasterMind handlebar-mounted unit allows the rider to quickly modulate the motor's level of power output on the fly. This unit also acts as a display for ride metrics and can wirelessly link to the Mission Control app to perform motor tuning, run diagnostics and enable the system's anti-theft feature.
The frame's in-built compliance teams with the plush suspension fork and voluminous tyres to provide bump-taming comfort over rough terrain, while the step-through design facilitates fast getting on and off in bustling city settings. The internal gear hub (IGH) and its easy to use dial allow accurate gear ratio selection to ensure that any topography can be tackled successfully. Hydraulic disc brakes stop with control and power in all conditions, and when it rains, the included mudguards shield the rider from cold wheel-spray. A versatile rear rack is a useful addition on long trips, and bright front and rear lights ensure excellent visibility when on dark or busy roads.
