Product Details

Add Icon

The Turbo Tero means one thing: you're going to need a bigger map. With ride anywhere range, this adventure-ready suspension electric bike is our go-anywhere, over anything, with everything vehicle. Plus, with enough storage space to pack in a few backcountry comforts, you'll discover new adventures easier than ever. The only question left to ask is where to?

Looking for a commuter you can take touring? A touring bike that can haul cargo? This is it. In a word, the Tero is unstoppable. Off-road capable wheels and tires, powerful hydraulic disc brakes, and a full-on suspension fork can transform every ride into an adventure, whether you’re on dirt roads or cruising through the concrete jungle.

POWERFUL: It’s you, only faster. The Turbo Full Power system senses the force you apply to the pedals and amplifies your effort up to four times for an experience that makes getting up any hill or to any destination no sweat. Literally.

COMFORTABLE AND CONFIDENT: Both body position and handling are optimized to deliver everything the rider needs: comfort, confidence, and control. Reign in your speed with hydraulic disc brakes and stay in control with larger tires that offer more traction for turning and stopping on any terrain.

TURBO: The heart of the Tero is its Turbo technology. The advanced and integrated electric bike system delivers an unequaled combination of power, natural feel, anti-theft functions, training tips, a full-function bike computer, and more.

SECURE: Tero has anti-theft on lock. Thwart would-be bike thieves by disabling the motor with a press of a button so nobody can turn the motor back on without your personalized pin. For additional protection, lock the battery in the bike or take it with you to make bike thieves miserable.

SILENT: Turbo Full Power Motor provides smooth, quiet, and seamless amplification for a quiet ride on any terrain.

The speed limit at which the motor will stop supporting may vary significantly by region and is based on local requirements. It may also affect range: a higher speed limit may result in less range.

  • Turbo Full Power 2.0E Motor and 530 Wh Battery- Integrated into the aluminum frame of the Tero 3.0, they effectively quadruple your own power, cranking out ample wattage to make short work of the steepest climbs and providing enough extra muscle to let you carry a mountain of adventure gear, groceries, kids and daydreams without breaking a sweat. It’s you, only faster. But what really sets this motor apart from the rest is how efficiently and seamlessly it melds with your own efforts.
  • Specialized app and MasterMind - Specialized app allows you to tailor Tero’s power output levels to your desired preference—all three standard power modes can be almost infinitely adjusted to suit your power and range needs. MasterMind’s MicroTune function can adjust power output levels in 10% increments so that you can tune the range to suit your needs.
  • Mountain Bike DNA- Tero’s componentry is tailored to enhance control and confidence. Aggressive but smooth rolling 29” wheels with 2.3” Ground Control tires offer ample traction in every situation, SRAM disc brakes deliver substantial braking bite, 110 mm of front suspension travel smooths the trail.
  • Turbo System Lock - Use the Specialized app to disable your bike’s motor and activate the motion sensor alarm. Once locked, the motor cannot be enabled again except by the owner. 
  • Fender, Rack, and Kickstand mounts. Rated to pull a thru-axle trailer. Child seat compatible.
  • Long-Range - With a ride-anywhere range, go up to 68 miles (110 km) or 5 hours on a single charge (eco mode).

Single track with Tero 3.0

I can now give an honest opinion of the Levo Tero 3.0 after having been on several technical single track trails. This bike is truly amazing mt bike. The smooth transition from eco to trail to turbo is flawless . The ground control tires have excellent grip. Battery life is getting better with each ride. I'm 67 years old and this bike has allowed me to to enjoy mt biking one again. At 49 lbs , in trail mode it's like I'm pedaling a 10 lb bike! It handles almost like my old stump jumper use to. I love this bike! The GPS app is pretty cool too.

Not tor extreme? lol wanna bet?

some of the reviewers make it sound like this bike can’t go off-road. The only thing I wouldn’t do on this bike is a huge jump and I doubt anybody’s going to jump a bike this heavy that high. I’ve been racing bikes my whole life and I’ve taken this thing fully loaded over some of the roughest. Most rocky Rutted out crap you can find! super steep hard turns, steep downhill, steep uphill‘s with nothing but rock for a half a mile. Nothing can stop this beast. The shifter is kind of low budget and I know that, but I still haven’t changed it. It’s held up to my abuse, so I’m going to wait till it dies before I try swapping it. I’ve taken this off of boulders about 3 1/2 -4 feet high!! obviously you don’t just smack it down off the boulder but you use your brakes. I swapped out for the Continental’s that I’ve always raced on and that was a game changer!! This bike is amazing!!! my only complaint. Specialized. they have all the accessories for it but nothing in stock

Great bike, flimsy display screen

The Tero 3.0 is a pretty good setup for a gravel - mild / moderate trail system. The geometry feels good, the motor, battery life, and gearing all go together well. It feels solid without rattling. However the display screen is very flimsy. It busted off the mount our first use as we were loading into the van and as it brushed against the other bikes handle bar. After a decent wait the dealer replaced that one. Later, after washing out in a corner, the display screen twisted sideways off the mount and cracked the screen. The dealer was adamant the screw holes in the back shouldn't have screws inserted, so the screen is only held to the mount by a thin piece of plastic. A dysfunctional display wouldn't be the end of the world, but the display is needed to power the bike it's annoying that a critical component is so fragile and likely to break.

Happy Birthday , Doc

Just purchased the Tero for my 70th birthday . Was out riding last night in my neighborhood in 23 degree weather ! Can't seem to stay off this fine machine . As a side note , it's the first time I've done maintenance on a bicycle since I was 10 years old . Much thanks to the guys at Kokopelli Cortez for all their help . I really love this bike and look forward to riding it for many years to come . Thanks .

What a great purchase!

I have been mountain biking since 1984. Since then I have put many many miles on my body and after several surgeries I could no longer ride like I used to. This bike has been everything I had hoped it would and more. I use this primarily as a city/commuter bike. I take it absolutely everywhere I can and go further than what was possible and have so much fun. I can't say enough good things about the geometry and well thought out finishes that this bike provides. I added the fender/rear rack kit so I could throw a pannier on and run errands. The included headlamp and tail light are perfect and add safety for all rides. Specialized advertising is so precise "It's you, only faster!" and further than before, bring on the headwinds and hills!

Amazing Bike, what a great

Amazing Bike, what a great ride. Quality, Master Mind Technology lets you adjust your % on the fly. 10% increments vs only 3 presets lets you ride all day every day to the end. I would buy nothing but Specialized Bikes. l love the company and their technology is above the rest. Black Hills is the best Bicycle Shop in Rapid City, South Dakota. Went through every detail of the Bicycle before I even attempted to ride it. Also covered the Mission Control App which is awesome. Will never buy anything but Specialized and will only deal with Black Hills Bicycles in Rapid City South Dakota.

I've been an OK single

I've been an OK single track rider for years but am now at the age in which a) falling down is not an option and b) I need more power on to get over stuff, so that I don't fall down. This bike fits the bill perfectly: It's great on bike trails but still allows me to do some dirt. Absolutely love the motor / controller. The shock is only OK and it rides like a tank. That said, it might allow me to regain my dirt skills enough such that I can upgrade. Love it.

The best ke is great

The best ke is great for commuting and jumping off road when yo feel like it. I don’t think it would do so well over too rough terrain. The chain pops in high gear and it’s been doing that from the time I picked it up. Hopefully it’s just an adjustment issue. I would recommend this bike for city commuting where it’s not always feasible to be on the road.

It is an absolutely exhilarating experience to ride this bike, from the very first push of the pedal in Eco mode! Its weight and solid construction, not to mention the disk brakes, inspire confidence and bespeak safety. The battery seems to last forever…. If you’re considering an ebike, look no further!

This is absolutely THE BEST

This is absolutely THE BEST bike I've ever owned.......and I've owned many (including 2 other Specialized bicycles - 1 of which was also electric). It's really awesome having the battery fully-enclosed within the frame. The new computer system has so many more features than that of 3-years-ago that I can only mention a couple here: (1) Connecting with the Mission Control App provides a great method of keeping details of rides, (2) likely the #1 feature for me is the ability to "Lock" the electric features of the bicycle........in that my 2 previous Specialized bicycles were stolen (separately, 3 years apart), and the Lock / Alarm feature MAY have prevented that.

Love riding my new Tero!

Love riding my new Tero! I take it on all my short trips, and hope to do some light single track soon. I added a Suntour suspension seat, kickstand, and commuter accessories. Super comfy ride now. Pros: Makes riding my hilly neighborhood a blast! Pedal assist kicks in smoothly. Makes hills 80% easier on turbo. Ability to disable the bike motor to prevent theft (though I wish it had GPS tracking in case of theft). Seat comfy enough. Cons: Shifting on the Alivio is quite clunky and disappointing for a $3500 bike. Bike shop replaced and shortened the chain that came with it because the 9th gear was falling off the track. OS has worked great, only once or twice it didn't register my pedaling.

Very well made entry level

Very well made entry level electric mtn bike. A hard tail is sufficient for less extreme mountain riders and this does the trick. The still seemingly high price compared to other e-bike (non mountain bike specific) seems to be because of the size of the battery and range the Tero Specialized provides. Plenty of range! And nice customization functionality from the app to the bike to set the three pedal assist modes. Intuitive and easy to use.

Great Bike, Plenty of Power

I have used this bike on the road and for trail riding. It has plenty of power for both applications. Despite the assistance, it still provides as much of a workout as you want. The added speed going uphill and on the level just motivates me to want to pedal harder. I am in my early 40s and just getting back into Mt Biking and this has really motivated me to get back out there.
