Featuring many of the same characteristics as its more expensive siblings albeit with a little less "roar" to its motor the Vado 2.0 is firmly rooted as the ultimate tool for everything from quick workouts about town to grocery runs. Remember: It's you only faster.
Beginning with the integrated Specialized 1.2 motor the Vado proves itself as the ultimate city bike. It features a silently operating design with our Custom Rx Street tune that takes the output and makes it the most usable for the urban environment. Think of it this way: 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 2.0 we developed a custom 460Wh battery the Specialized U1-460 that seamlessly integrates into the frame is lockable and easily removable for simplified charging. With this battery the 2.0 will deliver a pedal-assisted boost up to 93 miles in Economy mode 40 miles in Sport mode and 25 miles in Turbo mode. These estimates of course have some assumptions—the total rider and bike weight is 220 pounds the terrain is flat with some inclines and there is either no wind or a light breeze. In other words with a top speed of 28mph 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.
We also developed a custom 2.2-inch smart computer that lets you 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 we chose a wallet-friendly build for the Turbo Vado 2.0. It features a range of Shimano 9-speed components and powerful hydraulic disc brakes that stop on a dime so the Vado 2.0 is the perfect tool for your busy lifestyle and workouts.
