My battery failed after just 6 months of very light use, it had only around 10 charge cycles. Their warranty service has been terrible, waiting over a month to hear back and no answers. Unbelievable that for the price tag of the bikes this happens and this is the customer service. Really disappointed, would not recommend.

Recently purchased one of these. It's a replacement for my green turbo Levo. The Levo is an amazing Emtb which I mostly used for getting around town, but was/ has been a faithful servant to ride on up hills and down dales and will be sorely missed. However, I now have a much lighter Vado SL in the lime green. It's a great fun bike to ride around town and is so lightweight and maneuverable. I can pick it up and carry it over my shoulder as and when I need to. Whereas the Levo required military planning to bring up and downstairs to my flat, and also back out again!! Electric power, shockingly bright frame colour (love it!), light weight and easy on the eye. What's not to like!!!!

Love it! It’s just what I needed, I think I’m an eBike convert now. It’s not too heavy and has enough assistance to allow me to ride much further without fatigue. Good spec for the money, easy to live with. Range is good so far as mostly using in Eco mode. Specialized app is great too. Quick delivery and almost ready to ride out of the box. Would highly recommend as a bike for fitness and recreation.

It’s an excellent bike that gives just enough assist to an average fitness person. Light and agile.My only criticism is that you can’t turn the lights off, but I think that has been addressed on the new 5.0

First time on an E-bike. Had it a while now and after having bought the additional battery am chuffed to bits I got this bike. Really really good and makes riding fun not a slogfest. Just hope my batteries don’t die 😂👏👍

So much great service! Love specialized!

Lovely bike let down badly by the ridiculous rear parcel shelf. Rack time products only. They are expensive and there is no other option.

My experience from ordering on line through pickup at Snitger’s Bikes in Beaver, Pa. was excellent. The bike is every bit good as promoted. So far I have enjoyed two rides totaling 40 miles. I am 75 yrs old and I see the Vado Turbo SL adding many pleasurable miles to my biking while getting substantial exercise.

I love my bike!!!

Motor assistance is smooth: it makes me think I'm doing it on my own. Battery life is more than adequate for my needs.

Love bike. Can now keep up with my cyclist husband!

Been riding bikes for over 60 years . Traded in my racing bike and Bought my first e bike ( Vado turbo 4.0 ) over 2 Years ago b/c I was experiencing knee pain when I pedaled too hard or went uphill. This bike is a dream to ride . I found out 28 mph on a bike is fast and requires your full attention. I ride 10 miles to work and back , very comfortable ride b/c of tire size and bikes superb geometry . I’m 6’ and got the large frame - fits me perfectly. I think the pedal assist bikes , like this one , are much safer to ride than ones with throttle . I’m getting ready to buy another one for my place in Florida. You will not be disappointed if you buy one.

Best design, best engineering, ... Best bike .... Reaks of quality A+

Love it so far.

Great bike, does everything I need from a power assisted bike, just enough power when needed, and the weight is much lower, (around 15kg) than most others on the market. Use of the Mission Control app is easy too.

Love the bike so far. Only about 50 miles on it as now but it’s pretty much as advertised. Battery range will obviously vary on rider weight and level of assist. But I’m a BIG guy and and have used the 60% and 100% for less than 5 miles and I’ll get 60-65 miles out a charge for sure.

Love the bike fun to ride very light Compared to other bikes

The Vado sl model is very light and handles well. Excellent battery range if you use minimal assist on flats portion of rides

I love the Turbo Vado SL 4.0 so far. I'm a heavier rider, and the motor is a great size. It helps me enough that I can ride to work or the store without getting too sweaty, but I still feel like I'm getting a light workout. Very fun. My only advice to new buyers is to make sure you pick the right model. Each Vado seems to come with different racks and mounting options. My local bike shop wasn't even very clear on which models are or are not compatible with various racks -- find a good shop or call specialized customer support before purchasing. Happy riding!

We are 72 years road bikers that love the outdoors and did not want to shorten our rides but the elevation gains in the Virginia area were challenging us to make shorter adventures. Hence, we purchased 2 Vado 4.0 SL bikes and it was a game changer. We still do 25-40 mile rides and don’t worry about the “hills”. These bikes are light & perform wonderfully. Money well invested.
