Specialized has always supported bicycle commuting, and with the Turbo Vado, they saw an opportunity to include some serious fun into your daily ride. With its award-winning pedal-assist technology, Specialized provides you with enough assistance to melt climbs, cruise with ease, and navigate stop-and-go streets without breaking a sweat. Add in their rack system, lights, and the smoothest power delivery on the market, and you have a pedal-assist bike that is far more than just a commuter.
The Turbo Vado 4.0 is a commuter’s dream. It comes with a headlight and taillight as standard features, front and rear fenders, and a rear rack system. Your pedal strokes are still happily assisted by Specialized’s 1.2 E motor, but now you get a bump up to the 500 Wh battery system, increasing your range and extending the fun factor. Front suspension and a 10-speed drivetrain tie the 4.0 package altogether.
