Specialized Turbo Vado 4.0 Step-Through Electric Hybrid Bike 2021
Featuring a powerful motor and battery combination, a strong and lightweight frame, suspension fork and reliable components, the Specialized Turbo Vado 4.0 Step-Through Electric Hybrid Bike is an ideal partner for tackling the daily commute or running errands across town.
The lively and robust aluminium frame houses the 250w bottom bracket motor and 500Wh battery neatly within its silhouette to donate a neat aesthetic. This motor and battery combination delivers powerful, smooth pedalling assistance that reacts intuitively to the rider's efforts, aiding quick accelerations away from traffic lights and speedy ascents of steep town streets. The battery has a good range to cover longer adventures and can be recharged easily from flat in just fours hours.
The handlebar-mounted Turbo Connect Display (TCD) shows ride metrics such as speed, distance, cadence and more, while the Mission Control smartphone app allows the rider to customise motor and battery settings and perform basic system diagnostics.
An SR Suntour NCX E25 suspension fork helps smooth road bumps and is linked to the frame via a balanced geometry with a step-through format that aids easy mounting and dismounting. The precise Shimano 10-speed gear configuration drives the robust Specialized wheels, and braking is taken care of by the hydraulic disc brake system that performs admirably in any weather conditions.
