Specialized Turbo Vado 4.0 Step-Through Review - $4k

The Specialized Turbo Vado 4.0 is a sporty urban commuter with suspension fork and suspension seat post included! Outfitted with some of the best fenders, rear rack, and integrated lights I've seen on any ebike. Available in high-step or step-thru frame styles, comes in four, three trim levels (3.0, 4.0, and 5.0), and the battery integration looks much nicer than previous generations. Excellent weight distribution (low and center), clean integrated cables, powerful hydraulic disc brakes from SRAM with 180mm rotors front and rear. The co-developed Brose motor offers up 70nm of torque and is highly tunable with Mission Control smartphone app. Dynamic power output based on rear wheel speed, pedal cadence, and pedal torque. Fast four amp charger uses a magnetic plug interface that is convenient and durable. Optional compact travel charger saves space and weight for touring. Electronics are IPX6 rated against dust, mud, and water. The display has a USB-C charging port for portable electronics. The TCD2 MasterMind color display can be dimmed, beeps and haptics can be disabled, and readouts can be customized. Adjustable 80mm travel suspension fork and 40mm travel seat post suspension. High-visibility reflective sticker and integrated lights (which can be turned off) keep you safe. Pointy kickstand, less immediate power from standstill, front fender that clips curbs and some tray style bike racks.
