If you can characterize your life as on-the-go, busy, or not having enough time, Specialized made a bike for you—the Turbo Vado 3.0. It's made to accommodate busy lives that are always in movement, which is why Specialized took the award-winning pedal-assist technology and accelerated it well into the future.Beginning with the integrated Specialized 1.2 E motor, the Turbo Vado proves itself as the ultimate city bike. The 1.2 E uses the same hardware as our 1.2 motor, but it features a tune that prioritizes efficiency. This means less peak torque and maximum output. Of course, it still features a near-silent operating design with our Custom Rx Street Tune that takes the output and makes it the most usable for an 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 at, say, a traffic light both quick and efficient.

The belt driven motor is also smooth, silent, and free of annoying vibrations.For the Vado 3.0,Specialized developed a custom Specialized U1-460 battery that seamlessly integrates into the frame, is lockable, and easily removable for simplified charging. In other words, there's plenty of juice to take you to and from work, a trip to the grocery store, or even to that new café on the other side of the city.
