Does your existing two-wheeler feel like it’s about to give up the ghost? With regular cleanup and maintenance, alongside some replacement parts, bicycles or e-bikes will last for years. However, the motorized options are a bit finicky when it comes to upgrades. Hence, sometimes, it’s better to switch to a brand new ride like the Specialized Turbo Vado 3 X 6.0.
As one of the leading suppliers of cycling products, the addition of electric bicycles to its catalog was inevitable. Its latest city commuter is reportedly hitting the global market with a slew of awesome features. Are these enough to convince cyclists to ditch their current frames for this bad boy? In our opinion, it is when you absolutely need the tech that it ships with.
Cyclists can also look forward to a cutting-edge cockpit with support for wireless charging, one-hand battery control/removal, and future-proof/physical anti-theft measures. The Turbo Vado 3 X 6.0 is the top-of-the-line SKU available right now. Available colors for this e-bike are Gloss Warm Smoke and Gloss Ruby Metallic.
This year’s fresh iteration is kitted out with a Specialized 3.1 motor. Powering the drive unit is an 840 Wh battery cranking out approximately 810W and 78 lb-ft of torque. According to tests, a full charge will last you around 93 miles. Instead of a rear-hub placement, it’s mounted within the bottom bracket and flanked by the pedals.
Take a closer look at the design. The premium aluminum chassis resembles your typical step-through form factor, but there’s more to this build. The manufacturer is equipping the Turbo Vado 3 X 6.0 with a robust full suspension setup for all-terrain traversal. At the front is a Rock Shox Psylo fork, while a Rock Shox Delux Select handles the rear.
