Specialized Turbo Vado SL 5.0 Step-Through EQ 28" E-Touring Bike

The Specialized Turbo Vado SL 5.0 E-Touring Bike with step-through entry, lightweight equipment and pannier rack

The Turbo Vado SL 5.0 EQ from Specialized with step-through frame is a 28-inch e-bike that is primarily equipped for city and commuting rides. The deep step-through entry ensures safe, easy mounting and dismounting. The bike is equipped with a lightweight carbon fork, safe Tektro disc brakes and reliable Shimano XT/SLX drivetrain. The lightweight SL1.1 motor doubles your pedalling power while maintaining a natural feel. The Future Shock 1.5 suspension in the head tube absorbs small bumps from the ground for you. In addition, front and rear lighting, pannier racks and fenders as well as robust tyres with reflective elements ensure more safety and suitability for everyday use. An integrated Turbo Connect bicycle computer provides you with all the important information and rounds off this fast, efficient transfer and transport solution.

Technology:

E-Bikes by Specialized
Specialized e-bikes are designed in California and developed with Swiss technology. They take the " It's you, only faster" approach, which means that you have the impression of riding a " normal" bike without motor assistance, but with at least twice as much power. Specialized e-bikes are characterised by a particularly quiet, smooth running electric drive. Due to two special freehub bodies, the crankset and motor shaft are decoupled from each other in such a way that no additional pedalling resistance occurs when the motor is switched off (at speeds above 25 km/h). The battery of Specialized electric bikes is aesthetically and well protected integrated in the down tube. An innovative Battery Management System (BMS) is used to maximise battery life and protect the cell structure. The bike communicates with the rider via the Turbo Connect Unit (TCU), which connects via Bluetooth and ANT+ to a Turbo Connect display, third-party devices and/or the Specialized Mission Control app. This offers additional options such as route planning, route recording or automatic capacity management.

Future Shock 1.5
Future Shock 1.5 is a suspension system developed by Specialized for road, city, touring and gravel bikes, which is used in the head tube. If you ride over a bump in the ground, the whole system will give way by up to 20 mm - in a vertical direction to be precise. This results in a shock-absorbing effect without - as would be the case with horizontal compliance - any loss of speed. You stay fast, but ride more comfortably, especially on long distances. Numb hands and tired arms are prevented, which in turn increases performance. Compared to suspension fork systems, Future Shock also has the advantage that the geometry of the bike and thus the handling can remain unchanged. In contrast to the 2.0 system, the Future Shock 1.5 does not have a hydraulic damping system.
