Consider Vado your high-performance transportation bike, getting you where you're going with an unmatched combination of speed, reliability, and confidence.
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.
Its you, just faster - its 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.
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.
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.
The 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.
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.
The MasterMind customizable display shows you real-time ride info, lets you tune your support levels as you go, and even gives you pedal pace coaching.
The Mission Control app allows more advanced micro tuning, on-road diagnostics, and more - so you can get the most out of your Turbo.
Over-the-air software updates make your e-Bike better, safer, and harder to steal over time.
The standard rear rack with MIK HD compatibility holds up to 27 kilograms (60 pounds) of stuff.
Fully integrated lights mean there’s no forgetting yours (or having them go dead halfway home).
Integrated DRYTECH fenders help keep the rain and road grime off your feet and backside.
Oversized Pathfinder 650b x 2.3” tires can easily stand up to any road.
The Vado is compatible with rear thru-axle trailers and/or detachable rear kiddie seats.
Optional Autoshift: Quit thinking about shifting and focus on the ride. The Como 5.0 Internal Gear Hub comes with enviolo AUTOMATiQ stepless shifting technology, letting you set the pedal pace, and the bike will do the rest. The system uses an Internal Gear Hub (IGH) and a Gates Belt Drive instead of a chain, so no more fussing with derailleurs or chains.
Internal Gear Hub: The enviolo internal gear hub shifting systems removes the need for a derailleur and keeps the shifting inside the hub away from the elements.
Derailleur: The simple SRAM 11-speed derailleur system uses a single ring in front and super-wide-range gears in the back to deliver all of the gears you need to conquer any hill. The tried-and-true derailleur system offers the most efficient drivetrain to squeeze the most power from your battery.
Natural Assist: The Vado’s motor control software seamlessly amplifies your effort up to 4x your natural power. It’s so smooth you might forget you’re riding an e-bike. But the hills won’t forget who’s boss.
Commanding Position: Redesigned geometry puts you in the perfect position for commutes or workouts while comfortably keeping your eyes on the road.
An Obsessively Smooth Ride: A custom testing mechanism was designed to analyze bumps at even the smallest frequency that increases comfort and vision. That precision, matched with a suspended seatpost, higher volume tires, and an 80 mm suspension fork, will flatten roads before your eyes.
Features:
- Turbo Full Power Motor provides smooth, quiet, and seamless amplification, while MasterMind motor control gets the most out of your e-assist power.
- Redesigned geometry puts you in a more confident riding position.
- Powerful hydraulic disc brakes reign in your speed.
- Turbo System Lock: Use the Mission Control app to disable the motor, rendering the Turbo useless for any would-be thieves. Nobody can turn the motor back on without your personalized pin.
- Removable and Lockable Battery: It’s sleekly integrated, but the Vado’s battery is also fully removable. You can remove the battery entirely or lock the battery on the bike.
- Garmin Radar puts eyes in the back of your head, detecting cars up to 140 meters (460 feet) away and showing their location on your integrated display.
