Specialized has introduced the 2025 version of its popular Turbo Vado 5.0 e-bike in Europe. This commuter-friendly electric bike is equipped with the powerful Specialized Turbo Full Power 2.2 motor, offering natural-feeling pedal assistance with speeds up to 28 mph (45 kph). In compliance with local regulations, the top speed is reduced in certain countries.
Powered by a 710Wh battery, the Turbo Vado 5.0 provides a range of up to 120 miles (75 km) on a single charge. The e-bike is designed for a smooth ride with an 80mm travel suspension fork and suspension seat post.
It also features hydraulic disc brakes, integrated LED lights, a rear luggage rack, and a built-in anti-theft system with an alarm.
A standout feature is the built-in Garmin Radar system, which detects vehicles up to 140 meters (459 feet) away. The system provides visual, audible, and haptic alerts to inform the rider of approaching cars, enhancing safety.
The Specialized MasterMind display and app enable riders to customize settings and track battery life. Available for €4,500 in the EU, the Turbo Vado 5.0 is designed for comfortable and secure urban commuting.
