Industry Reviews
It’s one of the best systems I’ve tried. The display offers all the information you’ll need, including a battery-range display that’s more accurate than most. It even has a display metric to tell you how efficiently you’re using the motor assistance..
For a start there are very few sub 2kg mid-drives out there so the 1.95kg weight of the Specialized SL 1.1 motor singles it out right from the start. The 180% max assist level and the 35Nm torque rating shouldn't put you off. We found 35Nm working through the gears gives more steep hill climbing ability than that figure might suggest. .
The Specialized Turbo Vado 4.0 e-bike has beautiful design, useful integration, and features ideal for commuting and city riding. The Turbo Power 2.0 motor is tuned for everyday use, with a refined and natural ride feel..
