Consider Vado your high-performance transportation bike, getting you where you’re going with an unmatched combination of speed, reliability, and confidence. Whether you load it up with your stuff, or jump on and go, commute to work, or ride to the gym, Vado’s full power and huge range will get you from ‘point A’ to ‘point B’ ASAP.

The Specialized Vado has everything you need for e-powered transport. It brings a balanced nature to the way it handles and superior levels of comfort. This is a true class leader of its type.

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

POWERFUL: It’s you, just faster — it’s 4x You. The Turbo Full Power system senses the force you apply to the pedals and naturally quadruples it for an experience that makes getting up any hill or to any destination no sweat. Literally.

COMFORTABLE AND CONFIDENT: Body position and handling are optimized to deliver unsurpassed riding comfort, confidence, and control. Powerful hydraulic disc brakes reign in your speed, while larger tires provide maximum traction for turning and stopping.



SMOOTH: Stay comfortable in the saddle with an 80mm front suspension fork, higher volume tires, and a plush suspension seat post that smooths harsh bumps from points A to B.

SECURE: Vado has anti-theft lock built right into the bike. Prevent would-be bike thieves by disabling the motor with a press of a button so no one can turn on the motor without your phone connected to the Specialized app or your personalized pin. The Vado’s battery locks in the bike or can be easily taken with you. And if anyone tries to move your bike an alarm will sound. Beat it, thieves.

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 2.0 motor and 710Wh battery offer an unparalleled riding experience, providing a smooth, seamless, and shockingly quiet amplification of your efforts, up to 28 mph. The integrated controller responds to your pedal inputs resulting in intuitive amplification of your efforts with an incredibly natural feel.

  • MasterMind and Specialized app - The MasterMind display reveals all relevant info about your ride and allows real-time tuning of support levels. MasterMind seamlessly integrates with the Specialized app for range optimization tools, advanced tuning, on-ride diagnostics, and more.

  • Proven Smooth Efficiency - We designed a custom testing mechanism to analyze bumps at even the smallest frequency to increase comfort and vision. That precision, paired with a suspended seatpost, higher volume tires, and an 80 mm suspension fork, will flatten roads before your eyes.

  • 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. 

  • Fully Integrated Removable and Lockable Downtube Battery - Easy to charge, easy to secure.

  • Equipped with DRYTECH Fenders, LED front and rear lights, and 27kg capacity rear HD Rack. The rear rack is compatible with child bike seats, and the bike is also rated to pull a thru-axle trailer. 

  • Long-Range - With a ride-anywhere range, go up to 90 miles (145 km) or 6.5 hours on a single charge (eco mode).

Rien que du bonheur !!!

1er achat d'un vae, ce 4.0 est fantastique. Il est réactif et joueur tout en étant sécurisant. Une vraie sensation de facilité comme sur un vélo musculaire. Un très bon achat. Le 3.0 que jai également essayé ma semblé un peu juste. Merci aux conseils de jlc bike à saint juery très pro et sympa. Je recommande ce velo et ce revendeur.

5 Sterne mit Einschränkungen

Ich bin überrascht, dass mir (196 cm) das Rad in der Praxis recht gut passt. Es vermittelt ein gutes und sicheres Fahrgefühl, auch weil es nicht zu schwer ist. Die grundsolide Machart und Ausstattung rechtfertigt den Preis allemal. Der Motor ist topp und sorgt schon in der mittleren Stufe für mächtig Schub. Der 710 Wh-Akku liefert ordentlich Reichweite, ist aber wenig handlich und nicht so leicht aus der Verankerung zu lösen (das soll mit der Zeit angeblich besser werden, nervt aber schon). Der Federungskomfort der Sattelstütze ist gefühlt NULL, die Federgabel gefällt dagegen gut. Ich hätte mir einen etwas stärker gekröpften Lenker gewünscht, weil das Mountainbike-Profil für Tourenfahrten ergonomisch ungeeignet ist. Ein wichtiges Kaufargument war der Motor Lock, den ich jedoch drei Tage lang nicht aktiviert bekommen habe, wobei der Specialized Service ärgerlicherweise keine Hilfe war. Die Sperre lässt sich nur mit der App lösen; dafür braucht das Handy Netzempfang!

après plusieurs sorties maintenant

Vélo acheté en octobre 2023, très bonnes sensations depuis la première sortie. Chez moi, c'est assez vallonné (Alsace du Nord), donc les sorties de 40km avec un dénivelé de + 400/500 m ne sont pas rares... C'est un vrai plaisir de rouler avec le Turbo Vado, le moteur est silencieux et très réactif ... Je ne peux que conseiller ce modèle

Überrascht und Super

Hallo. Habe das Bike seit Juli 2022 und bis dato nie Probleme gehabt. Der Antrieb bringt auch mich mit 3stelligem Gewichtsbereich im Sitzen ,und ohne viel Mühe einen Hang hoch. Der Sitz war halt etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, den hatte ich dann nach 3 Monaten durch einen viel bequemeren ersetzt. Und vor 5 Wochen kam nich ne neue Hinterachse rein, damit unser kleiner Hund in seinem Roten Flitzeranhänger mit uns unternehmungslustig ist. Das hat alles von Anfang an super geklappt. Lg

Ein bequemes und gleichzeitig sportliches EBike

Nach einem halben Jahr Nutzung kann ich nur positives über das Rad berichten. Es fährt sich angenehm leise mit genug Power. Der Tacho mit einer Vielzahl von Anzeigeparametern, die man über die Mission Control App individualisieren kann, ist sehr informativ. Die Reifen halten einiges aus und bieten guten Gripp auf unterschiedlichen Strassenbelägen. Nach knapp 1800km sind die hinteren Bremsbeläge dran. Den Sattel werde ich bald tauschen, ich glaube es gibt bequemere. Der Fahrradträger ist sehr stabil und erlaubt 27kg Zuladung. (laut dem TÜV sind sogar 30kg drin). Die Mission Control App ist wie eine App, zu 99% erfüllt sie ihren Zweck. Im Mikro Modus und einer Trittfrequenz von ca. 70 schaffe ich ca. 150km mit einer Akkuladung. Ich kann das Bike ruhigen Gewissens weiter empfehlen.

Ich kann es nur bestätigen

in Superteil super Teil, fahre es jetzt über 8.000 km und habe es nicht geschont, auch schlimme Wege. Das meiste jedoch auf der Straße. Bis jetzt habe ich eine Kette, Zahnkranz und Kassette verbraucht und ungefähr bei 8.000 km ausgetauscht. Schade nur das es mit der Missioncontrol nur sehr bescheiden klappt. - Da wäre mal ein abwärtskompatibles Update fällig.

Super Teil

Fahre das Rad jetzt etwa seit 1.000 km und ich kann nur sagen...Top. Sehr handlich, super leise, starker Motor mit sanften... also kaum spürbaren Motoreinsatz. Das einzige was mich etwas enttäuscht hat, ist der 700 er Akku. Der hält lange nicht so doll wie ich erwartet hatte. Aber das ist wohl der Leistung des Rades geschuldet.

Phenomenal

This bike has everything you need as a commuter. The rack and lights are excellent. Shifting is flawless. Power of the pedal assist is super smooth and you can get as much as you want out of it. For a more cardio intense ride just keep it on Eco mode. To avoid sweating while going up the big hills before work, Sport or Turbo will do the job nicely. The hills in Colorado Springs are endless. As an older rider with knee replacement, this machine is well worth the investment. For Pannier bags I bought Ortileb, higher ends bags. They are pricey but incredible. Waterproof to the max, durable and roomy. I have never been happier as a lifelong bike commuter than I am with this set up. Trust the quality of Specialized and stay away from the cheap junk. This company is top notch and you deserve it to stay safe with reliable and super fun transportation. This is THE one you are searching for!
