2021-06-14T04:39:25Z The Specialized Turbo Vado SL 5.0 review at turbo speed: one of the best electric bikes you can buy, and a joy to ride. It's an understatement to say that demand for ebikes has shot up over the last few years. A gradual swell in interest over the previous decade turned into an all-out sales frenzy as lockdowns pushed commuters off public transport. T3 has a handy guide to answer the question, 'should you buy an ebike?' but in my opinion, the answer is a qualified yes. I am not a big fan of electric bikes that lumber along at a solid 15mph – the legal limit for motor-assisted bicycles in the UK and most of the western world. However the Specialized Turbo Vado SL 5.0 is right up my street, because it's just about light enough and well-specced enough to be furiously pedalled to fast speeds. Maybe it will be right up your street, too.
