Specialized Vado 4.0 Electric Hybrid Bike Ltd Edition
Taking an ultra-convenient way to get around and enhancing it with exciting new touches, Specialized has crafted the Vado 4.0 Electric Hybrid Bike Ltd Edition. It features casual Fitness/Transportation geometry for a relaxed position aided by 250w up to 25km/h from the custom Specialized 1.2 Rx Street-tuned motor, which is optimised for the most effective use possible in an urban environment. This means no jolting accelerations and an intuitive power output matched to rider exertion. The internal belt drive is super smooth, near-silent and without distracting vibrations or buzzing, making for a peaceful ride, whilst the 500 watt-hours integrated battery is reliable on longer routes and simple to remove should a charge be in order.
The SR Suntour fork with 50mm of travel makes light work of rougher roads punctuated with potholes, and the addition of the Specialized spring suspension seatpost adds further force-absorbing capability. Shimano's Deore 10-speed drivetrain makes for reliable shifting with a wide range of gearing options for rolling terrain, and stopping duties are handled with rapid consistency in all-weather by Shimano BR-MT200 hydraulic disc brakes. Chunky adventure tyres take on a range of terrain, so a trip off the beaten track is always on the cards, and practical extras like the DRYTECH mudguards, lights and rack make this eBike a truly capable contender.
For all data and metrics needs, refer to the Turbo Connect Display, which can also connect to Specialized's Mission Control smartphone app for a highly customised, enhanced experience.
