Normally, Pascal churns his way up the hill on his 3-speed Dutch bike. So, if he says, “Yeah man, I’m really flying uphill today!” then something special is afoot: it’s the brand new, lightweight Specialized Turbo Vado SL 5.0 EQ with its SL 1.1 motor providing up to 240 W support. Is this the perfect […]

Recently, Specialized e-bikes have been on a diet. First it was the Turbo Creo SL which introduced us to their SL 1.1 motor.

0 rolls beautifully on its wide rims and 47mm tyres, has a suspension fork that’s suitable for gentle off-road forays, and Tektro hydraulic disc brakes with enough power to halt a 22kg bike (+rider) safely, but I think Specialized needs to address the limits of its range.. .
Lovely ride quality and surprisingly fun handling bike
The battery range isn’t as great as I’d hoped

The Specialized Women’s Turbo Vado 4.0 is a cool, chic, city commuter that will get you smoothly to your destination. The Brose motor makes light work of the streets, which coupled with a great build quality and comfortable riding position make this bike a winner. We tested the women’s version Turbo Vado 4.0 but it’s also available as a men’s bike with higher standover in the same spec for the same money. The Turbo Vado 4.0 provides the ability to soak up small bumps with the 50mm travel on the Suntour NCX forks, whilst 700cc wheels and 47mm tyres do the rest to smooth out the cobbles.
