Turbo Vado 4.0

2021 Turbo Vado 4.0

It's a busy world out there, and the sad thing is, it's getting faster all of the time. That's why we recommend faster bikes for busy lives, like the Turbo Vado 4.0. It takes our award-winning and exclusive technology and tailors it to a package that's designed for getting you around your day-to-day life quicker than ever before. It's you, only faster.

Beginning with the integrated Specialized 1.2 motor, the Turbo Vado proves itself as the ultimate city bike. The 1.2 motor features a silent operating design with our Custom Rx Street Tune that takes the output and makes it the most usable for an urban environment. Think of it this way: The more power you put out, the more power the motor puts out, and this makes accelerations from a standstill both quick and efficient. The belt driven motor is also smooth, silent, and free of annoying vibrations. And the max speed? 28mph.

For the Vado 4.0, we developed a custom Specialized U1-500 battery that seamlessly integrates into the frame, is lockable, and easily removable for simplified charging. In other words, there's plenty of juice to take you to and from work, a trip to the grocery store, or even to that new café on the other side of the city. If you wish to see exactly how far you can go on a charge, have a look at our Turbo Range Calculator for more exact estimates.

The new wired Turbo Connect Display (TCD-w) is the best way to view data on your Turbo. It not only displays important ride metrics (speed, cadence, rider power, distance, battery level, time, etc.), it also allows you to connect the latest version of the Mission Control App for an enhanced Turbo experience. With our free app for iOS and Android phones, you easily customize motor parameters, control your range, record/upload rides, and perform basic system diagnosis.

To top off all of the innovative features, we chose a worry-free spec that features Shimano 10-speed components, hydraulic disc brakes, front/rear lights, and fender & rack mounts.

I bought myself this e- bike for my 66th birthday!

I gave up bicycle racing 32 years ago when I sold my Guerciotti w/Campagnolo. I have h ad this e-bike 36 days and I've already rode 1148 miles and I have lost 9 pounds of stubborn belly fat. I thank God that he lead me to this product. After 32 years Absence I have found the joy of cycling again. This is the best therapy anyone can get. I'm already saving up for a carbon fiber version.

I am 65 and can ride again

I am getting back into riding after a 30 year hiatus and sitting at a desk job. AT 65 I was concerned but need to lose weight and get in shape. I can ride this bike up any hill and anywhere bikes go around here. My only complaint is I wish it had a couple more gears on the top end. I could crank it out faster if I had it.
