The real standout is the enviolo AUTOMATiQ internal gear hub, which uses stepless shifting to automatically adjust to your pedal cadence. Just set your preferred rhythm, and the system takes care of the rest—no levers, no gears to think about. Paired with a Gates Carbon Drive belt, you get a quiet, low-maintenance drivetrain that never needs oil and won’t stain your clothes.
The custom-tuned Specialized 2.2 motor delivers 90Nm of torque, making hill starts and headwinds feel like nothing. Powered by a 710Wh battery, you’ll get up to 62 miles (100km) of range in eco mode. The MasterMind display puts real-time metrics, support tuning, and system diagnostics right at your fingertips. It even syncs with the Specialized app for range planning and firmware updates.
Comfort is built in from the ground up. A RockShox Recon fork with 80mm of travel smooths out rough paths, while the Cane Creek Thudbuster seatpost absorbs bumps from below. High-volume 650b tyres add stability and traction, while the upright riding position boosts visibility and confidence.
What truly sets this Vado apart is its attention to safety. A built-in Garmin Radar sensor alerts you to vehicles approaching from behind, displaying real-time proximity info on the MasterMind display. The Turbo System Lock allows you to remotely disable the motor and trigger a movement-sensitive alarm making theft a lot more difficult.
You also get premium commuting accessories as standard: full DRYTECH mudguards, integrated LED lighting, and a 27kg-capacity rear rack that’s child seat and trailer compatible.

* 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.
