  • What are the correct mudguards for this bike?
    Question asked by John Rose on 12/03/2022 13:40:04
    Specialized make a specific mudguard for this bike https://www.specializedconceptstore.co.uk/product/16635/2017-dry-tech-fender-set/ Unfortunately this is not a mudguard set that we stock and there are currently not availble from our supplier. There are a number of alternative mudguard sets available from other manufacturers.
  • How long is the warranty period please?
    Question asked by J on 22/01/2022 09:41:53
    Specialized have a very comprehensive Warranty, further details can be found at https://support.specialized.com/mex/en/warranty-policies/global-warranty-policy

  • what is the all up weight of the specialised turbo Vado SL Electric Bike 2021
    Question asked by Tim on 19/08/2021 18:06:02
    We can confirm this bike weighs in around 15kg.

    However, this weight will vary slightly depending on size.
  • Is the rear wheel quick release?
    Question asked by Bev on 05/04/2021 21:05:59
    The rear axle on this bike is a thru axle (12 x 148mm). A thru-axle is similar to a quick release securing the wheel on a hub between a pair of dropouts on a bicycle frame or fork. The thru-axle threads directly through the fork/frame holes and into the wheel hub, which makes the wheel secure from detaching. This is stiffer and very secure and straightforward to operate.
