The bike comes in 1 color (black), 2 frame styles (a high-step and a mid-step-through), and 6 individual frame sizes between the 2 frames. If you read my review on the other Vado lineup, there may be some parallel information here, but there are a few upgrades here and there.

The Vado 5.0 is the top of the line model and an efficient and almost purist 28mph pedelec with a smooth Brose S ALU mid-drive, hydraulic brakes, and many commuter amenities. There has been some updates in the Specialized lineup and today we are taking a look at the Turbo Vado 5.0. My goal is to be transparent and unbiased, this video and written review are not meant to be an endorsement of Specialized products. This review was sponsored by Specialized. To run the forums, host the website, and travel, I charge a universal service fee for my reviews.

The display is not removable, nor does it have a range estimator, there is no quick release on either wheel or even the seat post, and the battery can be tricky to click in securely.

Specialized TCD display, Mission Control smartphone app syncs with display for GPS readouts and battery optimization, powerful Shimano ICE-tech 180mm hydraulic disc brakes in the front and 160mm in the rear.

Available in 6 sizes including high-step and mid-step frame styles with gender-specific saddle and grips, custom tuned 50mm suspension fork with plenty of adjustment, sturdy thru-axles for improved power transfer and handling at high speed.

A high-speed, feature-complete, urban electric bike with unique tubular fenders that have flexible extensions and water routing system to keep your legs, back and face dry, integrated lights and a tight modern rack.
