Integrated LED front and rear lights keep you visible, while DRYTECH mudguards and a 27kg-rated rear rack add all-weather practicality. The Turbo System Lock adds peace of mind too, letting you disable the motor and activate a motion-sensitive alarm via your smartphone.
For riders looking for a high-spec, tech-loaded e-bike that doesn’t compromise on ride feel, practicality or style, the Specialized Vado 5.0 Step Through is a confident, capable and comfortable choice.

* Mountain bikes are sized differently to road bikes. Typically, they are sized in inches as the first MTBs were produced in the USA. European brands like Lapierre and Haibike like to use centimeters for all their bikes. The measurements of their mountain bikes doesn’t match their road bikes but is like a simple conversion from the inches measurement. This is why we have included cm measurements in brackets for the e mountain bike column.
