Does anybody have Turbo Vado?

[BikerNoob]

Hi everybody, long time lurker here. I am planning to get my first ebike and I'm confused between Trek and Specialized ebikes. My first option is Turbo Vado. Second option is e-caliber from Trek. Third option - none I'm looking for the one that can easily cover about 20 miles a day and that requires less maintenance. What's your thought about Turbo Vado? Thanks!

Curious how long you've had it? Any issues to share? Would you do it again type of stuff? We are looking in this direction.

I have the Turbo Vado 5.0. Mine has the chain and derailer, not the carbon belt drive. I can ride it more than twenty miles in Turbo. I can usually get about thirty miles and still have about 20% left on the battery. I have four ebikes, and if I were only allowed to own one ebike, it would be the Turbo Vado. I love the 2.2 motor, very good power. I also love the feeling of quality under me. It feels classy and strong. I've owned it since October 2021, it's the 2022-year model. It has over 1,500 miles on it, and I've had to replace the charger, and the brake pads. If you can afford it, you'll like it. Specialized has a great warranty! The warranty doesn't pass to subsequent owners. I would but it again as long as I could afford it.
