Specialized Vado 5.0 ST: High-Performance E-Bike for Effortless Everyday Riding
The Specialized Vado 5.0 ST is a premium, full-power electric bike designed for riders who want to move faster, farther, and more comfortably in everyday life. Built around a smooth, powerful motor and a large-capacity battery, the Vado 5.0 ST excels at commuting, fitness riding, errands, and longer recreational rides. The step-through frame design makes it easy to mount and dismount, while integrated utility features turn it into a true car replacement.
Key Benefits for Riders
Powerful Turbo Full Power System for Effortless Speed
At the heart of the Vado 5.0 ST is the Specialized 2.2 motor, delivering up to 90Nm of torque with smooth, natural-feeling assistance. The system amplifies your pedaling intuitively, making hills, headwinds, and long distances feel manageable while still keeping the ride engaging and efficient.
Large 710Wh Battery for Long Range and Fewer Charges
The integrated 710Wh battery provides excellent real-world range, allowing for long commutes, extended fitness rides, or multiple days of riding between charges. It’s securely housed in the downtube, lockable for security, and designed to deliver consistent performance over time.
Comfort-Focused Geometry With Front Suspension
The Vado’s upright riding position reduces strain on your back, neck, and shoulders, making longer rides far more comfortable. An 80mm RockShox suspension fork and a Cane Creek Thudbuster suspension seatpost work together to absorb road chatter, potholes, and uneven pavement for a smoother, calmer ride.
Confident Braking and Wide, Stable Tires
Shimano CUES hydraulic disc brakes provide strong, predictable stopping power in all conditions, which is especially important on a faster, heavier e-bike. The 650b x 2.3 Pathfinder Sport Reflect tires add stability, traction, and comfort while improving visibility in low-light conditions.
11-Speed Drivetrain for Versatile Riding
The Shimano CUES 11-speed drivetrain paired with a wide-range 11–50t cassette gives you the gearing needed for steep climbs, fast cruising, and everything in between. Shifting is smooth, durable, and well-suited to the higher loads of e-bike riding.
Fully Equipped for Daily Life
The Vado 5.0 ST comes ready for real-world use with integrated DRYTECH fenders, a rear rack rated to 27kg, and powerful front and rear lights. An integrated Garmin radar adds an extra layer of awareness by alerting you to vehicles approaching from behind, making commuting safer and less stressful.
Why Choose the Specialized Vado 5.0 ST?
If you want a top-tier electric bike that blends speed, comfort, range, and everyday practicality, the Specialized Vado 5.0 ST stands out. It’s powerful without feeling harsh, comfortable without being sluggish, and fully equipped to replace car trips while still being fun to ride. Whether you’re commuting, training, or just riding because it feels good, the Vado 5.0 ST makes every mile easier and more enjoyable.
