SPECIALIZED MEN’S TURBO VADO 1.0 2019

You can’t help but smile when you’re riding a Turbo, and the Vado 1.0 is no exception.

Beginning with the integrated Specialized 1.2E motor, the Vado proves itself as the ultimate city bike. It features a silently operating design with a Custom Rx Street tune that takes the output and makes it the most usable for the urban environment. So, the more power you put out, the more power the motor puts out, and this makes accelerations from a standstill both quick and efficient. The belt driven motor is also smooth, silent, and free of annoying vibrations. Perfect.

For the Vado 1.0, Specialized developed a custom Specialized U1-400 battery that seamlessly integrates into the frame, is lockable, and is easily removable for simplified charging. In other words, with a top speed of 20mph, there’s plenty of juice to take you to and from work, make a trip to the grocery store, or to even head over to that new café on the other side of town (as long as they have cake).

A custom 2.2-inch computer with the German powerhouse, BLOKS was also developed. With this smart computer, you’re able to view your battery level and toggle various ride metrics such as speed, distance, and time. You can also peruse these screens via the custom handlebar remote without ever removing your hands from the bars.

To top off all of these innovative features, a wallet-friendly build was chosen for the Turbo Vado 1.0, so it features a range of Shimano 8-speed components and powerful hydraulic disc brakes that stop on a dime.

• The Vado features a lightweight alloy frame that’s been designed with a Fitness/Transportation Geometry.
• The Vado’s Specialized 1.2E motor is fully integrated with the frame, and it’s also been custom-tuned for city riding. It intuitively reacts to the force of your pedaling, so the harder you pedal, the more power it delivers. And with an internal belt drive design, it does this without added vibration for the smoothest and most silent ride possible.
• The custom 400 Wh battery is fully integrated with the frame, removable for easy charging, and lockable for added security. It communicates with the display and has multiple modes to maximise the overall efficiency and range.
