Specialized Vado Vs. Trek Allant (All Features Compared)

I have spent the last two weeks trying to choose between the Specialized Vado and Trek Allant. I researched each of their specs in order to choose an e-bike that would match my needs. Here’s a quick rundown of my observations from comparing a Specialized Vado to a Trek Allant.

As a general rule, Specialized Vado is a good choice for beginners for everyday urban commuting, as it offers a powerful system with a functional and smooth ride. Trek produces powerful, impressively fast, high-tech city and mountain e-bikes, making them more suitable for experienced cyclists.

On average, Specialized has been pioneering new technologies in the e-bike market since the 1990s, while Trek Allant recently became a more popular choice among riders. Trek Allant provides high-profile e-bikes for top-level cyclists, as well as novices and intermediate cyclists. 

Apart from their looks and ratings, I had questions about the difference in specifications of Specialized Vado and Trek Allant e-bikes that would matter the most to me. With the help of my research, I have compiled detailed comparisons of all of the following specifications found in the chart below.

Specialized Vado Vs. Trek Allant

The lifespan of specialized vado vs. trek allant.

On average, both Specialized Vado and Trek Allant e-bikes have a 5-year average lifespan. Their batteries may run out after three to four years, after which a replacement would be necessary. Their batteries could last longer if properly maintained.

Specialized Vado is built with high-quality aluminum and steel, making it a long-lasting companion. On the other hand, Trek Allant uses a Bosch battery, and you can replace it through your local Bosch service center at the cost of $800 to $900. 

Both Specialized Vado and Trek Allant electric bikes use a lithium battery, which loses its capacity over time, even when not in use. Therefore, it is crucial to keep the optimal temperature and charging strategies in mind to increase the lifespan of a lithium battery.

Battery experts have advised that e-bike batteries should be protected from extreme high and low temperatures. Lower temperatures can cause the battery to drain faster, while temperatures above 30°C can shorten the battery’s life.

The batteries should be stored in a cool place, ideally 0-68°F (0-20°C), without extreme exposure to sunlight. Regular discharging and charging above 80% should be avoided, especially before storing.

“Ride as much or as little, or as long or as short as you feel. But ride.” -Eddy Merckx

Running Cost of Specialized Vado Vs. Trek Allant

As a general rule, it takes anywhere between 3 to 5 hours to charge a Specialized Vado, whereas a Trek Allant takes around 4.5 hours to charge fully. Specialized Vado costs about 10 cents per charge, and Trek Allant would cost 8 cents, which is slightly lower.

Specialized Vado comes with a 48V charger, whereas Trek Allant has a 36V charger. Like other electric bikes, these two e-bikes cost little to nothing to charge fully.

Since Trek Allant takes slightly less time to fully charge than Specialized Vado, the difference in their charging cost isn’t too significant, and there is no real difference in a real-world application.

Cost of Maintenance of Specialized Vado Vs. Trek Allant

As a whole, Specialized and Trek both offer repair and service packages for their e-bikes. A Specialized Vado can be repaired for $50-$350, while a Trek Allant’s servicing costs $100-$400. The condition of the electric bike has a major impact on the cost of maintenance.

If your e-bike is used with proper care, maintaining the Specialized Vado and the Trek Allant e-bikes won’t cost you an arm and a leg. For an electric bike in average condition, you can purchase the basic service packages of Specialized and Trek that don’t cost more than $200.

These batteries can last a long time if kept in ideal temperatures and are properly cared for. A battery replacement can cost around $500 to $900+.

Furthermore, Trek Allant has provided a guide for at-home maintenance of your electric bike. By properly maintaining your electric bike you can help avoid unnecessary repairs and replacements. In cleaning your electric bike, we recommend using the Muck-off Bike Wash, which can be found on Amazon.

Warranties of Specialized Vado Vs. Trek Allant

As a whole, Specialized Vado offers a lifetime warranty for registered electric bikes and a two years warranty for non-registered electric bikes. Trek Allant offers a two years warranty to all of its customers.

Specialized and Trek warranties could help you avoid costly repair and replacement charges. However, both companies do not cover the replacement of wear and tear and damage from accidents, abuse, corrosion, or improper maintenance.

Top Speed of Specialized Vado Vs. Trek Allant

On average, Specialized Vado and Trek Allant have the same pedal-assisted max speed of 28 mph (45 km/h). Specialized Vado uses a full-size motor that provides continuous power to high-speed riders. Both electric bikes are class-3 e-bikes that do not have a throttle.

The Specialized Vado is 40% lighter than an average electric bike, allowing cyclists to ride at a faster pace.

Although some riders have claimed a maximum speed of 20 mph on the Trek Allant, the brand promises a faster maximum speed. Overall, there isn’t much difference between the Specialized Vado and Trek Allant in terms of speed.

Range of Specialized Vado Vs. Trek Allant

Trek Allant can travel up to 120 miles, while Specialized Vado can travel up to 80 miles of distance. Trek Allant e-bike has an additional Bosch Range Boost Battery, which effectively increases its travel distance.

Trek Allant is the perfect e-bike for long-distance trekking or touring, thanks to the optional Bosch Range Boost Battery second battery pack. With Specialized Vado, you have an option to add a battery range extender. 

However, even while doing so, the optional Range Extender can only increase the Specialized Vado’s travel distance by up to 40 miles, which still falls short of the Trek Allant’s max range of 120 miles.

Reliability of Specialized Vado Vs. Trek Allant

As a whole, Trek Allant outperforms Specialized Vado in reliability. That is because cyclists have reliability concerns about some parts of Specialized Vado, particularly the internal drive belt. 

Trek Allant has quality parts that ensure a reliable and long-lasting lifespan. While Specialized places a high value on quality, some riders have found the motor and other components to be unreliable in some situations.

When it comes to electric bikes, problems in the motor are common in most manufacturers.  However, Specialized offers a great warranty, which helps customers build trust in their brand and can help support you if a covered component needs replacing. 

The Battery of Specialized Vado Vs. Trek Allant

On average, Specialized Vado uses a Specialized 500Wh battery, whereas Trek Allant uses a 500Wh Bosch battery. The batteries that Specialized and Trek Allant use are both well made. In addition, their batteries are removable with a key.

Specialized Vado and Trek Allant both have an optional battery extender to extend your potential range. However, Trek Allant offers a waterproof battery, making it safer for unexpected rainy days.

Removable batteries allow riders to charge the battery indoors or while mounted on the electric bike. Furthermore, both companies’ batteries have similar charging times and travel distances.

Cost of Specialized Vado Vs. Trek Allant

As a general rule, Specialized Vado is generally more expensive than Trek Allant. Specialized Vado Costs around $5,000, whereas Trek Allant costs $4,500. As a result, Trek Allant is generally thought to be a more cost-effective option. 

Specialized Vado and Trek Allant are high-end electric bikes that come with innovative technology, making each of them worth the money. Specialized offers an impressive warranty, an E5 Aluminum frameset, and a magnesium motor mount for a good price.

Trek Allant, on the other hand, allows customers to have access to a wide range of services, such as excellent customer service which is able to resolve issues quickly. Their e-bikes are produced in smaller volumes and outperform comparable e-bikes in terms of durability and their top-notch features, which in most situations justifies the price.

Which commuter ebike? Specialized 2022 Como/Vado 5.0 vs 2022 Trek Allant+ 7S

  • Thread starter powersquad
  • Start date Dec 18, 2021
  • Dec 18, 2021

Hello folks, I am an unfit 36 year old weighing 200lbs looking at my first ebike for commuting to work primarily which is 25KM one way (16 miles) so 50KM return (32 miles). My office location has changed which was quite further out before where I had a free car park but at the new office location location that is 50KM return trip, I will have to find a paid car park and they are around NZD$1800. I figure, this commute is achievable via bicycle specially now that they have interconnected my small town with the major town where my job is via a dedicated cycleway that is mostly concrete path for 70% of the way and remaining is tar seal road. At my new work building after few recent thefts in the car park where the bike stand is also, they have full fenced off the area with swipe card access apparently as I still have not been to the new office location yet. WFH is great but it will come to and end in a month's time so will have to commute to work atleast 3 days a week and 2 days WFH. This will be my first ebike. I have been reading various threads here at EBR and watching videos on YouTube as well between different model bikes that has helped atleast narrow down I think between 2 brands Specialized and Trek. The reason why I have picked these 2 brands is because there is local support for both these brands in my small town and also the major town where my work is. I ruled out Riese and Muller because the closest bike show that supports this brand is 1 hour and 30 mins away one way. For the Trek, I picked the Allant+ 7S which is available in New Zealand at NZD$5999 incl tax (15%) (USD$4000 incl 15% tax). However my wife's workplace has a scheme with this specific chain of bike retailer that gives 12.5% discount and they happen to sell Trek so I can get the Allant +7S for NZD$5250 incl tax (USD$3500). There is barely any ebike stock available in the country due to big back orders. The retailer has 1 M and 1 L size left. I did a test ride on the M size today being 5'9 in height and the bike was a tight/perfect fit. The L size is brand new and they will have to build it which they can for a 10% deposit and will even return the deposit if I back out of both L or M size. I am thinking L size would fit me better. I am looking at the low step version so my wife who is 5'8 can also use it easily. Being my first ever ebike ride, the Allant +7S was great experience. I climbed an steep incline which I would have huffed and puffed on a non e-bike but the Trek ploughed through it on low gear on turbo mode and I did not break a sweat. The motor was noticeably noisy. I will contact the Specialized dealer tomorrow but I think due to being sold out everywhere that I can see online, I would be surprised if they would have any stock. I am interested in the 2022 Como 5.0 more and I like the connectivity and security lock options with motor being disabled. These likely will not be available until April 2022 including the 2022 Vado. These are NZD$8900 incl 15% tax (USD$6000). 1. Is the Specialized 2022 Como 5.0 worth it over Allant+ 7S with an extra price difference of NZD $3650 (USD$2500) for the chain version and $USD900 more on top for the IGH version? 2. Is one of these brands more reliable over the other specially with parts availability down the track as the battery would likely need to be replaced in 5 years time? 3. For commute mostly, if I did go down the path of Specialized, would Como suit better over Vado? Edit - I just came back from the Specialized dealer and the allocation for 2022 bikes are extremely low. Like 1 unit low for 2022 Turbo Como 5.0 (non SL) which they reckon they will receive in January or Feb 2022 and they will not have anything after that until August 2022. I did a test ride on the 2021 Specialized Como they had on floor which was the M size and it's definitely the size I would want if go with Specialized. The bike rode well,. The motor also had noticeable noise but less than the Allant+ 7S. It did struggle on the hill I took it to even on low gear and I had to pedal hard but I suspected that from the SL being 35nm torque only and I am not fit (yet). The brakes were also not that strong or prompt to action unlike the Allant+ 7S. I suspect it might be 2 piston break unlike 4 piston on the Allant+ 7S. I think it's between Turbo Como 5.0 vs Allant+ 7S for me. Both have good torque, build quality and 4 piston breaks. Specialized dealer has offered me $500 off which he said no other dealer will offer in the country in current climate and I believe him because I have not been able to find stock of ebikes in general anywhere in NZ. I can get the Specialized 2022 Turbo Como 5.0 for $8400 instead of $8900 incl tax so USD$5650 incl tax. USD$3500 for the Allant+ 7S. I did prefer the handles of Como SL over Allant+ 7S so I imagine the handles of 2022 Como will be similar as well. Thanks.

The Trek seems like a better deal to me, plus it’s in stock. I hope you enjoy your new bike, which ever you pick.

This is a very hard decision @powersquad . As I am a Specialized fan as I can tell you the Como is not for everyone. Como is a comfortable city e-bike while the Trek Allant+ 7S is a sporty ride. Otherwise, these two e-bikes are quite similar in performance. The pros for Specialized: The 2022 models sport the updated electronics (Mastermind) and new motors. The connectivity of Specialized e-bikes in unparalleled by any other brand. Trek is equipped with the current Bosch motor but Bosch come with a big change to the Smart System, which has not been implemented by Trek yet (so you would buy -- technically speaking -- an obsolete e-bike). If you only could get a 2022 Vado then I would greatly recommend that to you. Or, a 2022 Specialized Tero EQ.

The price on the Trek is good, but that is a killer tax. I own a Trek Verve+3 and the Trek you are looking at is a nicer bike. A lot more punch out of the motor. Can you charge the bike when you park it at work? If so you should be able to crank up the assist and make the commute in an hour. If you can’t charge it, you might have to watch the battery range a little more carefully.

I have re-read your original post @powersquad (because my first answer was only related to the differences between Como 5.0 and Allant+ 7S). Range Like you, I am a 90 kg (or so) person, and my legs cannot improve for health reasons. My Turbo test on an older 45 km/h Vado 5.0 with 604 Wh battery gave me the range of 43 km (loop) when riding on a 14 C morning with moderate wind and totally on the flat . I covered that distance in 1 h 28 min net with the average speed of 29.3 km/h. You are to cover several hills, so your range would be even shorter than that. Having said that: The 2022 Como 5.0 comes with a 710 Wh battery. If you rode in Turbo all the way, the range would be close to 50 km but only on the flat. Additionally, Como is less aerodynamic than Vado, further reducing your speed and increasing battery consumption. Analysis: To get the average of 25 km/h, you would be using Turbo uphill only, and Sport mode elsewhere. (Slower average speed means more range). You would either be not pedalling on descents or you would put the assistance to OFF there (there is no reason to pedal or be assisted downhill); that helps conserving the battery charge very much. Conclusion: While you might make the round-trip on a single battery charge of 2022 Como 5.0, you should better consider taking the battery out from the frame and charging it inside at work. (That would be unavoidable with the 500 Wh battery of the Allant+). Battery Sustainability With so hard use of the e-bike, you might be forced to get a new battery in 3 (or even 2) years. Bosch promises to make the older batteries for 7 years more but they actually already think of the new Smart System with completely different batteries. The future here is uncertain. Specialized has just started with the new U2-710 batteries so these should be available for many years with no worries. Specialized SL e-bikes These are very nice but they are no commuters but leisure/fitness e-bikes. You cannot expect high speed or easy climbing or long battery range at higher speeds. I live in the flatland and am getting maximum average speed of 21 km/h on my Vado SL, using Turbo mode for clearing overpasses only. And you probably could not charge the battery on the bike at work! Again: talk with the LBS if you could get a 2022 Vado 5.0. That e-bike would be a better commuter than the Como. And... NZ does not have any speed limit for e-bikes but the imported Specialized models could by chance be limited to 25 km/h (like for Australia or Europe), Double check with the dealer whether the offered model conforms to the U.S. Class 3, that is, it assists you to 28 mph. (Allant+ S is a 28 mph e-bike by definition).  

The Trek you are looking at has the same battery as my Trek and you should have no problem with the range without charging it while you are at work. I’ve ridden 32 miles and probably had another 10 to 15 miles left in the battery. What you probably won’t have is the ability to ride on maximum assist without charging the battery at work. Like Stefan Mikes says, that will hit the battery pretty hard. Just a wild guess on my part, the original battery should last a year and maybe 2 to 3 years.  

An interesting observation, disregarding the e-bike make/model as all modern. upright riding position, mid-drive motor e-bikes face the same phenomena of physics: I needed to visit my daughter today (there is white Winter here now) so I was in hurry. I was riding a loop in flat terrain. I used 409 Wh from the battery to cover 50 km. Yet, the average speed was only 20.2 km/h (and no hills)! The assistance level in terms of the full power Vado/Como was 41%. Increasing the assistance and getting higher average speed is very heavy on the battery range as the power demand is a cubic function of air drag (or, the e-bike velocity relative to air, also related to the riding position).  

Stefan, I know you have disagreed on the range I suspect people will get with their e bikes. I’m not sure why, I’m not saying your wrong, it’s just different from what I experience. I have 990 miles on my Trek Verve+3 with a 500wh battery. My controller just shows bars so it’s hard to compare but the ride you just described I would expect about 40% left on my battery. I would probably ride with a little more assistance and about 3 km/h faster. It’s almost always windy here and some hills, I probably average 1000 feet of elevation gain.  

You're probably far stronger than I am dodgeman. The point is powersquad would like to arrive to work fresh. And at the average speed of 25 km/h. That means a lot of assistance.  

Stronger? I’m not sure about that. It maybe just where I ride, how I ride, wind, hills etc. Knowing how my Trek works compared to the one he is looking at, I’d say if he takes his battery inside and charges it, he will be fine for range running the maximum assist.

Thanks, guys, for your tips and recommendations so far. I have managed to find some progress photos of parts of the shared cycleway/walkway last night on the Government website. As per the latest update, it looks it will only complete and open around the end of March 2022 due to COVID lockdown delays. It is a 60KM long shared track linking the major city with two small cities that are neighboring along the river. They have already opened the first small city's path earlier this year linking it to the major city, but our small city got delayed due to COVID. This delay does gives me a good month or two with the bike to get practice on it and get an idea about battery life etc. I have attached some photos of the shared cycleway/walkway. It does include longboards as well now that I see them in the photos which I imagine, the ebike should have no issues with anyway? compared to concrete and tar seal road that I thought the cycleway would compromise of. Hopefully, the front suspension and tyre quality would be comfortable ride with both the Allant+ 7S or Turbo Como 5.0. @Stefan Mikes That is a very good observation you made regarding checking the 25KM/h restriction that they have in some parts of the world. I know Australia also has the 25KM/h restriction for ebikes while NZ does not. The Allant+7S is specifically advertised as Class 3 ebike in NZ with 28mph advertising and during my test ride, I did get it up to 37KM/h on turbo so can confirm it's all good in NZ. I checked Specialized NZ page after your speed restriction comment for Turbo Como 5.0 and it advertises 28mph speeds as well and then checked Australian page and it lists it specifically on their website at 25KM/h. NZ is metric so both Trek and Specialized did not bother converting from mph to km/h when advertising their speeds Hehe. I just rang Specialized NZ HQ in NZ and they confirmed that in NZ, it will be indeed 28mph (45KM/h) for their bikes as well unlike Australia and Eruope so that is great news as well. To answer some of the questions, yes at work I can charge my battery on my desk. There is no external power point AFAIK around the bike stand where I can leave the charger plugged in there and connect to bike directly so I would have to remove the battery if required and charge at my work desk which is no problem. I do have a question though below. 1. With both Trek and Specialized, the battery comes out. If it starts to rain outside and now the battery slot on bike is exposed to the rain, can the rain go inside the battery contact pins or any other place via that big battery hole and damage the electronics/motor/battery or are the battery pins fully sealed and all I need to do before putting the battery back in after rain has stopped is to wipe dry the battery pins contact area to avoid any shortening? 2. When you want to change gears (low or high) when riding either the Trek or Specialized, should I always be pedaling prior to changing the gear or can I stop pedaling and then change gear and start pedaling again? Can I also lower or up multiple gears quickly in succession? 3. When you mention that when going downhill, to not use assist mode and turn it off for that duration, can I just stop pedaling but leave assist mode on to conserve battery and then as soon the hill comes again or flat ground, I don't have to worry turn the assist mode back on and I can just continue to pedal then? 4. @dodgeman The Trek LBS mentioned that with the Allant+ 7S 500Wh battery, that I can most certainly even in turbo mode all the way arrive at work without running out of juice but yeah, more I will need to charge the battery at work. If I did ride conservatively, I may be able to make a return trip back home without charging but that is a hard push whereas with the Como 5.0 710Wh, I will be fine for a return trip too without worrying about running out of juice atleast on sports mode. I read somewhere that Specialized app has a way to predefine your route information and it can then base on that activate/deactivate pedal assist based around the battery that is available to use too which sounds cool so takes a lot of guess work out. Without a doubt, once I do a full run of this new cycleway when it opens and go to work and come back home, I will have a much clear picture of how many steep paths etc I will have to work with. 5. The reason I like Como over the Vado is for 2 reasons. First is that it is low step so my wife can enjoy riding it as well compared to the Vado. It will not be impossible for my wife to get on the Vado but it will not be as easy as Como. I like the handle and sitting position of upright style of the Como. When I rode the Como SL the handlebar and my sitting position felts very natural and comfortable compared to the Allant +7S which is same handle/sitting position style like the Vado. I still have not fully decided yet if I am honest between the Como 5.0 and Allan+ 7S. If I am honest, currently the Como 5.0 is more in my mind of being the bike due to bigger battery, connectivity options, quieter motor and garmin radar sensor at back. I am hoping for the battery to last me atleast 5 years with which ever bike I go with. I am expecting that once my stamina rate increases and I start to get fitter, I rely much less on Turbo mode and run on either Sports or Eco so the battery charge/discharge cycles should reduce once Turbo mode use will be reduced with either of the bike brands. From a resale point of view, do both Trek and Specialized hold their value well? Thanks

Nice looking bike path, either bike should do fine. We hauled our Treks from Illinois to Utah on the back of my pickup about two months ago. We took the batteries out for transport and they make a little plug to cover the contacts left open in the bike. I think it’s more for peace of mind as everything is sealed up pretty good. For speed, I find with mine running in full turbo, I could probably average a little less than 18 mph for a distance of your commute. The Trek you are looking at has a stronger motor so I think you can expect the commute to take an hour or a little less assuming you don’t have to stop a lot or have traffic. I don’t know how busy that path will be on a work day, it may slow you down.

As it happens I picked up a Trek Allant 7s just today as a smaller guest rider to compliment my Allant 9s. I had this order in for a full year. Actually months ago I expanded my choice to an Allant 8s or Specialized Turbo Vado 3.…whatever they could get first. My resale of my first bike a Trek Super Commuter 7 to the Pro’s Closet got me over two thousand $US which was more than I expected. Used prices are high at present dur to the kinks in the supply chain. Get whatever you can get your hands on.  

@Stefan Mikes Wow. RidewithGPS is cool. I signed up to the trial for now to get the route planner functionality. The red line on map is what RidewithGPS has drawn. That whole marked route I can tell is the exciting cycle route from my small town to the big town where my office is. It currently goes through 80% tar seal road shared with cars and is not the new shared walkway/cycleway that will open by March 2022 that I have hand drawn in green colour which runs along the river. It's only a part map from screenshot but as you can see my office is in direction and more in line with the green marked line so when that dedicated cycleway open, I should save a lot of time. Is there a way to find out in this website, what time it will take for the existing route that has been calculated as I cannot seem to find that info on their web app atleast.  

ridewithgps.png

Thanks. I left it on imperial units, but I just saw in your profile that you are from Europe hehe so metric like NZ. Pardon my ignorance but yourself and posters have mentioned average 25 km/h speed. Is that the general average speed of a trip that ebikes end up taking hills/elevations, turns, traffic into account? I am hoping that with the new cycleway, I power my way through at max speed as possible on Turbo and if I must charge battery at work then be it just so that I can cut down on commute time. Google maps shows cycling commute of 1 hour and 20 minutes from home to office using current tar seal road shared with cars which I am guessing is with a pedal bicycle averaging 15km/h ~ 20 km/h? If I can average at least 35KM/h on the new cycleway which is shorter route than current tar seal route at 35KM/h, I can cut this down to 45-minute commute max? Hopefully not wishful thinking.

Bike Battle: Trek vs Specialized E-bike

No ride can have a conversation about the best electric mountain bikes without discussing both Trek and Specialized Electric Bikes. These companies are two of the most popular e-bike manufacturers and they offer a range of e-bikes for new and experienced riders. Both companies’ e-bikes are great but which brand is best for you?

Trek Allant+

specialized vado vs trek allant

The Trek Allant+  is a sleek bike that provides a comfortable and capable ride on any urban street or light trail. It features an efficient Bosch Performance motor with shift detection. The bike frame can fit an optional second battery pack making it a great bike for long trips. It reaches a top speed of 20 mph and has a great range of up to 120 miles.

  • Trek Allant is very durable and comes in a variety of sizes to accommodate all riders.
  • This e-bike features an amazing range of up to 120 miles, making it an ideal product for a long commuter.
  • Great suspension system with excellent shock absorption makes for a comfortable ride on any city street or light trail.
  • Trek has a relatively quick 5.5-hour charge time.
  • Great power assistance that constantly checks your speed and pedal time.
  • Bosh Purion controller is simple to use.
  • Lightweight bike at 54 pounds.
  • The motor is loud.
  • Difficult to swap out tires and requires a hex key wrench.
  • You can’t backpedal.

The price of the Trek Allant+ ranges from $4,000 to $4,500 dollars depending on the model. The Trek Allant+ is an excellent mid-range premium bike for any city rider.

Specialized Turbo Vado

specialized vado vs trek allant

Specialized has long been considered one of the best in the business, so it is no surprise that the company’s main commuter e-bike is a top-notch product.

The Turbo Vado is a Class 3 e-bike that can reach up to 28 mph with pedal assist thanks to the top-of-the-line Brose mid-drive motor. The Turbo Vado’s high speed makes it one of the fastest commuter bikes on the market. It has a 710 Wh battery with a claimed range of 87 miles.

  • Affordable bike for such a high-quality product.
  • Sleek design that looks less hefty than many e-bikes.
  • The 2.0 mid-drive motor creates a smooth riding experience.
  • Faster than most commuter e-bikes.
  • Average battery life.

The Turbo Vado is an excellent bike with a starting price of $4,000, which is an incredible value for such a high-quality bike.

Which Is Better?

Trek and Specialized have created two of the best commuter e-bikes on the market, but Specialized has created a superior product. Both bikes have similar price points, and the Trek Allant+ can go longer distances. Still, the Turbo Vado has superior speed, durability, and smooth riding experience, making it a product better suited to all riders.

| World Cup 2018 Moscow

With a population of as many as 15 million, making it among the largest cities on Earth, and a place where bars, restaurants, supermarkets, and traffic jams run 24 hours a day, Moscow is a pretty full-on experience for first-time visitors. The Russian capital is a riotous metropolis where Orthodox churches vie for attention alongside neon-drenched skyscrapers straight out of Blade Runner . Embrace the madness, load up on caffeine, and maybe pack a pair of earplugs.

map of Moscow

The One Must-See Thing

Every Tom, Dick, and Harry is going to pitch up at Red Square this summer, to gawp at Lenin’s embalmed corpse in his mausoleum and then bag a selfie in front of the onion domes of St Basil’s Cathedral. For something a little more off the beaten path, check out the Fallen Monument Park , the final resting place for hundreds of statues of stern-looking Soviet apparatchiks that were removed from public spaces following the collapse of the USSR.

The Stadium

The 81,000-seat Luzhniki national stadium, built originally for the 1980 Olympics, has been completely renovated in the lead-up to the World Cup, removing the old running track, which is great for sight lines, but does mean any flares and firecrackers thrown by fans may actually end up on the field.

Spartak Stadium, Moscow’s second venue, opened in 2014, and though around half the size of Luzhniki, it’s regarded as one of the best-equipped and most atmospheric arenas in Russia.

Where to Watch

John Donne on Nikitsky Bulvar is about as close to an English pub as you can get in Russia. Go for the faint smell of stale Newcastle Brown ale, the tattooed barmen, and the soccer-loving crowd that regularly gathers there for live matches.
