The Specialized Turbo Vado SL is one of the best ebikes I’ve reviewed, but that unit was meant to provide a gentle assist over a regular bike, rather than helping you blaze up the steepest hills without breaking a sweat. I’ve been curious what the company’s heavier, more powerful models were capable of, and I got to see just that prior to the launch of the new 2021 Turbo Vado and Como models.
