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
The e‑bike is powered by a custom 42V4A charger with a Rosenberger plug and universal 100–240V compatibility. Its MasterMind TCD system features a handlebar‑mounted remote, built‑in anti‑theft protection, Bluetooth® connectivity, and customizable display pages. At the heart of the bike is the Specialized 2.2 motor, delivering 90Nm of torque with a custom‑tuned 250W nominal output, paired with a fully integrated 710Wh Specialized battery that includes a state‑of‑charge display and meets UL certification standards. The E5 Aluminum frameset houses a mid‑drive motor and a lockable downtube battery, with internal cable routing, a wheel‑lock mount, and front‑rack compatibility. A Specialized Alloy 34.9 seat binder with a steel bolt secures the seatpost. Up front, the RockShox Recon Silver RL fork provides 80mm of travel with Motion Control damping.
Braking is handled by Shimano CUES BL‑U8000 four‑piston calipers at both the front and rear. The drivetrain includes a 40‑tooth chainring with retention technology, custom alloy‑forged crankarms, a Shimano LG500 chain, and an 11‑speed Shimano CUES CS‑LG400‑11 cassette with an 11–50t range. Shifting is managed by the Shimano RD‑U8000 CUES rear derailleur with Shadow Plus design and a matching SL‑U8000 Rapidfire shifter. A Specialized chain cover completes the setup.
The bike rolls on 650b double‑wall alloy rims with 32 spokes up front and DT Swiss Elemental spokes throughout. Pathfinder Sport Reflect 650Bx2.3 tires are mounted front and rear. The front hub is a sealed‑bearing Specialized alloy unit with a 15x110mm thru‑axle, while the rear hub uses a 12x148mm thru‑axle and an HG steel freehub body. Standard 40mm Schrader‑valve tubes fit 650Bx1.75–2.4 tires.
Rider contact points include a Bridge Sport saddle with steel rails, a 30.9mm Cane Creek Thudbuster ST suspension seatpost, ERGON GA30‑S grips, a Specialized Flowset 3D‑forged alloy stem with a 20‑degree rise, and alloy handlebars with a 15‑degree backsweep and 46mm rise. Integrated accessories elevate the bike’s utility: a Garmin radar system displays custom alerts on the MasterMind TCD, a Lezyne STVZO E450+ headlight provides 450 lumens of illumination, and a Spanninga STVZO Commuter Glow taillight includes an automatic brake‑light function. Additional features include Specialized commuter pedals with grip tape and reflectors, DRYTECH 65mm aluminum fenders, a brass bell, a 40mm‑mount kickstand, and a MIK HD‑compatible rear rack with built‑in pannier mounts and a 27kg load capacity. The bike also incorporates the Turbo System Lock for added security.
