Exceeded my expectations! Comfortable, long battery life, charges quickly , light weight, and has extended my ability to ride distances with others! So glad we made this purchase! The Specialized dealer was wonderful to work with!

Why aren’t small sizes available??? I bet you’d get a lot of customers!

Love my Vado 40 SL step through. This bike purrs like a BMW and I’m sold on Specialized bikes! Great mechanics, easy to ride, lightweight at 32 lbs making it easy for women to lift to an overhead rack. On sale too. The light mint color is easily visible too and I got a Racktime clip on bike bag as well. Just make sure you get the correct fit. I ordered my small Racktime bag from Amazon UK as out of stock here. Sooo happy with my ebike purchase.

I'm 67 and this bike has allowed me to continue riding with my usual groups as I seem to struggle more on hills than my friends who are of similar age (though a few more get ebikes each year). I was delighted to find that I could lift this bike too and put it in my car (Subaru Forester) myself as I do with my road bike (though it's not as easy) and I didn't have to spend even more to buy a rack and hitch too. I've had it for 3 months now and have ridden it several times a week and it's been working fine. Friends like the look; I have the light blue/green color. The only difficulty was finding it in my size, a small.

Happy with overall quality.

My Vado SL is perfectly matched to my size and ability. Class I provides opportunities to exercise and still climb the hills. And the weight allows this 70 year old woman to handle mounting the bike on my rack independently. Love this bike

It has been very good for my current use-case of quick and short errands such as grocery shopping. It provides a good boost to your pedaling. My biggest issue is that it has a Racktime (tubus brand) rear rack that Specialized does not seem to support, nor any other US-based company. I had to order a bag and basket from a drop-shipper via an online retailer.

Like the weight, assistance while riding

Outspokin Bicycle Shop gave me the kind of personalized service I needed to get me on the bike that fit my ability! I love my Como 5.0. I get a workout and am able to go the distance I want. My first battery charge gave me 100 miles in Eco mode.

Great bike, like the light weight and the ease of loading on the bike rack. It is a little shorter that the regular Vado, I would consider moving to a larger size next time.
