2020 Specialized Turbo Women's Vado 2.0

Get all of the pedal-assist features you desire at a price that lets you keep your daily cappuccino ritual with the Women's Turbo Vado 2.0. Featuring many of the same characteristics as its more expensive siblings, albeit with a little less "roar" to its motor, the Women's Turbo Vado 2.0 is firmly rooted as the ultimate transportation tool for everything from grocery runs to commutes.

It features a custom 250-watt motor and 460Wh battery that are fully integrated with the bike and specifically tuned for city riding. The battery is super easy to remove from the bike so you can charge it anywhere. The RX Street Tune is perfect for the urban environment—reacting to the amount of force you apply to the pedals.

Specialized also developed a custom-for-Vado 2.2-inch computer with the German powerhouse, BLOKS. With this touchscreen smart computer, you’re able to connect, via Bluetooth, to our Turbo Vado Mission Control App for full control over your Vado. This app allows you to tune the motor to your personal preferences, it eliminates range anxiety through the Smart Control function, and it offers the rider a wide range of features, including navigation, tracking, diagnostics, and ride history. You can also peruse through these screens via the custom handlebar remote, without ever removing your hand from the bars.

To top off all of the innovative features, we chose a wallet-friendly build for the Turbo Vado 2.0. Featuring Shimano 9-speed components and hydraulic disc brakes, it's the perfect tool for your busy lifestyle.


- The Vado’s motor is fully integrated with the frame and features a 250-watt output. It's also been custom-tuned for city riding, and it intuitively reacts to the force of your pedaling—so the harder you pedal, the more power it delivers. And with an internal belt drive design, it does this without added vibration for the smoothest and most silent ride possible.

- Specialized made the custom 460Wh battery to be fully integrated with the frame, removable for easy charging, and lockable for added security. It communicates with the display and has multiple modes to maximize the overall efficiency and range.
