Just over 44 pounds: Hybrid, ultra-light e-bike with mid-motor

Specialized is now offering the Turbo Vado SL 2 models in new variants with an aluminum frame. At 44 pounds (20.11 kg), users get an electric bike with a mid-motor and extensive equipment. These include, for example, "Future Shock 3.1" suspension with 20mm of travel, which the manufacturer advertises as reducing "impacts by more than 53% vs a bike without suspension." The Turbo Vado SL 2 5.0 is currently listed for $4,999, both with a classic diamond frame and as a step-through model. Either way, the bike is equipped with a Specialized 1.2 SL System mid-motor, which is said to have a torque of 50 Nm and is powered by a battery integrated into the frame with a capacity of 520 Wh.  

Other features include a handlebar remote, a 2.1-inch configurable display with Bluetooth connectivity and Apple Find My. A Shimano Cues derailleur system with 11 gears is installed, with Tektro HD-R510 160 millimeter brake discs at the front and rear. Hemisphere 70x47c tires are used, which also makes the bike suitable for off-road use. Furthermore, there is also a MIK-compatible luggage rack, a kickstand, mudguards, a headlight and a taillight. Lastly, the bike comes in two colors: Gloss Gove Gray (pale gray) and Satin Deep Lake Metallic (deep blue).
