What the Specialized Turbo Vado 3 EVO 5.0 is built for

The Specialized Turbo Vado 3 EVO 5.0 is a commuter e-bike, built for daily rides to work, errands and city streets.

It carries a 840 Wh battery and a stated range of up to 93 miles (150 km) on a charge. Real-world range is usually lower than the rated figure: it falls with throttle use, hills, cold weather, rider weight and higher assist levels.

In the United States the Specialized Turbo Vado 3 EVO 5.0 sells for $5,200, above the median of $1,700 across 311 commuter e-bikes with a US price, among the premium models. That is $6 per watt-hour of battery.

Where the Specialized Turbo Vado 3 EVO 5.0 may be ridden

In the European Union and the United Kingdom an e-bike counts as a bicycle only within the pedelec limits; as specified, its 810 W motor is above the 250 W limit. A model above those limits is treated as a moped there, with type approval, registration and insurance, unless the brand sells a version set to the European limits.
