New rides

Specialized has updated two of its electric bike lines; the do-everything Vado, the accessible and comfortable Como, and is introducing a new Turbo: The Tero.

Setting the standard

Unlike a lot of other e-bike manufacturers that use off-the-shelf parts, Specialized designs its e-bikes from the ground up to feel as close to riding a regular bike as possible. I was able to ride the Turbo Como at a press event in Brooklyn, but before we get to that, let’s talk about the specs.
