Specialized Turbo Vado SL 4.0 ST EQ Electric Hybrid Bike 2021
For those seeking a faster, greener commute, look no further than the Specialized Turbo Vado SL 4.0 ST EQ Electric Hybrid Bike. Featuring the lightweight Specialized SL 1.1 motor system and an integrated 320Wh battery, it retains the aesthetic of a non-electric bike whilst packing 35Nm of torque to cruise up hills and nip through the gridlock. The ride quality is second to none, with a lightweight and responsive feel that mirrors your favourite traditional hybrid, whilst a host of added extras ensures it's equipped for any eventuality.
Bright and fully integrated, the Leyzne lights boost your visibility when the sun goes down, and DRYTECH mudguards keep your office wear free from road spray. The Turbo SL rack is Racktime compatible, and the equipped kickstand improves ease of use. The lightweight design is office and flat friendly and is easy to manoeuvre upstairs and through hallways, while the step-through frame ensures easier on/off. A range of power settings provides you with the perfect balance of power to range in any scenario, and an aftermarket Range Extender can be fitted to boost the assisted range up to 120 miles.
The high-quality Shimano Deore drivetrain delivers reliable performance across the entire 10-speed range, while powerful hydraulic disc brakes add stopping power to compensate for the additional weight of the battery and motor. To enhance grip on slick asphalt, the Nimbus II Sport Reflect tyres feature a wide 38mm width, and a reflective strip adds a degree of visibility for low-light riding.
