Specialized Turbo Vado 3.0 Electric Hybrid Bike 2023
Commuting, shopping trips or those longer adventure-filled rides can all be done with ease on the Specialized Turbo Vado 3.0 Electric Hybrid Bike thanks to its extreme versatility and ultra-reliable components, making this a fun but functional everyday vehicle.
The silently powerful Specialized 2.0E motor offers a pleasantly smooth and natural pedalling experience, with assistance available up to a maximum speed of 15.5 mph / 25 km/h. A selection of power modes is available giving all control to the rider, allowing decisions of ride intensity with the confidence of that extra power when needed.
Ample gearing provides smooth and efficient pedalling over any course, and this comes courtesy of Shimano Alivio components. The 9-speed ratio guarantees a range perfect for any profile, and hydraulic disc brakes provide sufficient stopping power in any weather.
A light and equally as strong aluminium frame ensures a comfortable ride and carries the 530Wh battery discreetly along with internal cable routing, resulting in sleek and clean aesthetics. Riding efficiency is obtained by reducing fatigue when the terrain gets rough thanks to the suspension seatpost paired with 80mm SR Suntour MobieA32 front fork. Additionally, bumps are further tamed by the high volume 2.3" tyres.
If you like to know data while on the move, the easy to read MasterMind display is the intelligent brain behind the detail, allowing you to scroll through pages of information on your ride. Fine-tuning alongside the ability to disable/enable the motor is achieved through the Mission Control app giving confidence in the security of the highly desirable machine. Dressed with mudguards, pannier rack and lights, this is a bike made for trips where that little extra kit is needed ready to explore for longer.
