The Specialized Vado is redefining what it means to move through the city—or anywhere else—with speed, ease, and confidence. As a high-performance electric transportation bike, the Vado is built to make every ride effortless, whether you're commuting to work, riding to the gym, carrying groceries, or just heading out to explore. At the heart of the Vado is its state-of-the-art Turbo technology—a fully integrated e-bike system that delivers natural-feeling, silent power with intuitive control, anti-theft capabilities, and a class-leading range of up to 93 miles (150 km). Designed with balance, power, and smoothness in mind, this system transforms your input into a powerful output that feels like you—but four times stronger.

The Specialized 2.0E motor delivers up to 250W of nominal power and 50Nm of torque, giving you the strength to conquer hills and headwinds without breaking a sweat. The motor senses your pedal effort and seamlessly multiplies it, amplifying your movement with a natural, responsive feel. A 530Wh Specialized U2 battery is housed securely in the downtube and offers real-world range of up to 68 miles (110 km) or about five hours in eco mode. It’s easy to remove for charging or security, and the system is protected by Specialized’s Turbo System Lock, allowing you to disable the motor and activate a motion sensor alarm through the Specialized app. If your bike is moved without your phone or PIN code, the alarm will sound and the motor stays disabled.

Comfort and control are a hallmark of the Vado’s design. With a SR Suntour MobieA32 fork offering 80mm of travel, plus high-volume 650Bx2.3 Pathfinder Sport Reflect tires, the ride feels composed and smooth over rough pavement, potholes, or cobbled streets. The bike’s geometry places riders in a confident, upright position while maintaining agile handling. Powerful Shimano BR-MT200 hydraulic disc brakes offer confident stopping in all conditions, and the aluminum E5 frame provides durability, stability, and room for integrated cable routing and a lockable battery mount.

The MasterMind TCD (Turbo Control Display) adds a layer of refinement and control to your ride. Mounted on the handlebars, it lets you view all critical ride stats in real-time and customize your ride settings on the go. Integrated Bluetooth® connects seamlessly to the Specialized app, where you can access ride diagnostics, fine-tune motor responsiveness, and get detailed range estimates. This level of personalization ensures the Vado is not just an e-bike—it’s your e-bike, tailored to how you ride.

Practicality is also built into every detail. The Vado includes Specialized DRYTECH fenders to keep you clean in wet conditions, front and rear integrated LED lights powered directly from the battery, and a 27kg-capacity rear HD rack with MIK compatibility. Whether you're carrying work gear or mounting a child seat, this rack is ready. It’s also rated to tow a thru-axle trailer, opening more utility options for families or adventurers. The Pathfinder tires feature reflective sidewalls to enhance low-light visibility, and the included kickstand, bell, and grip-tape pedals round out a thoughtful package.

The drivetrain is built for reliability and simplicity, featuring a Shimano Alivio 9-speed setup with optical gear display. A forged custom crankset with a 48T Praxis chainring and full chaincase keeps things protected and efficient. Shimano CS-HG400 cassette with an 11-36T range delivers a wide gear range for varied terrain, while the KMC e9T chain with a Missing Link™ ensures durability and ease of maintenance. DT Swiss Industry spokes and double-wall alloy rims ensure the wheels are tough and reliable, with sealed bearing hubs that can take on thousands of miles of commuting or urban exploration.

Cockpit ergonomics are carefully considered with a Specialized Flowset 20-degree stem, comfortable 15-degree backsweep alloy handlebars, and Body Geometry lock-on grips that minimize hand fatigue. The Rivo Sport saddle with steel rails offers generous padding and width for longer rides, paired with a sturdy two-bolt alloy seatpost for reliable support. With a total weight of 24.9kg (just under 55 pounds) in size MD, the Vado hits the sweet spot between durability and manageable handling.

Ultimately, the Specialized Vado is built to do it all—quickly, quietly, and comfortably. It’s more than just an electric bike; it’s an all-in-one solution for anyone seeking efficient, eco-friendly transportation without compromising on power, safety, or comfort. From cutting-edge tech to refined ride quality and unmatched utility, the Vado delivers a transformative ride experience every time you swing a leg over the top tube. Whether you're riding to your daily destinations or setting out for a full day of errands and exploration, the Vado ensures that point A to point B has never felt so powerful—or so effortless.
