    The Specialized Turbo Tero X 5.0 is an e-bike that straddles two worlds, delivering solid performance in both. It is at once a capable eMTB with a 250W mid-drive motor delivering 70Nm of torque and conquering terrain with a SRAM 12-speed drivetrain and 4-piston hydraulic brakes. The Turbo Tero X 5.0 is also a zippy Class 3 commuter that comes standard with the commuter’s necessities: fenders, lights, rear rack and kickstand. In our Specialized Turbo Tero X 5.0 review we will dig into the specs that make this e-bike do two things well.
    Specialized describes the Turbo Tero X 5.0 as the SUV of the e-bike world, and we won’t disagree. We rarely encounter an e-bike that can perform so well in two different realms. Most products meant to straddle two worlds usually end up doing neither particularly well. Not so with this e-bike.
    Visually, this e-bike might surprise thanks to its mullet setup-29-in. wheel front and 27.5-in. wheel rear. This setup was chosen specifically for how it helps handling in off-road riding.
    For riders looking for a speedy commuter that doesn’t sacrifice comfort, the Specialized Turbo Tero X 5.0 gives riders one of the smoothest rides on pavement they are likely to find thanks to its full-suspension design.

      having lived iin Boise for years, with mountain biking several times a week, weather permiting, I'm ready to get mobility back again in SC. This looks like the bike for me, enough for occasional mtn biking, great for around town/grocery errands, and perfect for the beach. Thanks for your concise reviews, your info is highly valued!

    This looks like the ultimate Dad bike to me (in a good way.) I have two kids with another on the way and we go on trips where we nearly always ride. Got a kid in front of me on a Shotgun seat, another in a pull behind two kid trailer, with diaper bag and food/drinks. So both boys and their stuff + trailer is over 100 lbs of extra weight. We go to the beach, Mountains with techy trails, and farmland. This looks like best bike for all these places while hauling kids.

    I have a Vado 5.0 w the igh. I got what I feel is a fantastic deal on it. But I did ride a Tero first. I’ll just say that if I could have gotten a Tero X for closer to what I paid for the Vado 5.0 I may have been riding that instead. But I am blown away by the Vado. I am not a small person. Weighing 240 lbs the 2.2 motor with its 90nM make light work of getting around fast! I can see why they call it turbo. Freakin love it! On turbo! The Envolo igh is a game changer too. It’s nice not to have to worry about shifting under power and rallying a $900 drivetrain. Plus it’s sooooo smooth and quiet. Not clanking and skipping chains that sometimes pop off. I think I am converted.

    • @ElectricBikeReport
      @ElectricBikeReport  Před 9 měsíci

      We do love the Vado! If you're intending to do some offroading, this will lend itself better to that out of the box for sure. If you can afford it, the cost would be worth it in our opinion.

    between the vado SL as a commuter bike stretching into a gravel/touring bike, and the Tero 5 as a MTB stretching into a city/touring bike, which one's a better choice?

    • @ChantalPugin
      @ChantalPugin Před 13 dny

      There is no one good answer but severals. All depends on your needs. The Vado SL is much more lighter, nimble and sporty but maybe stiffer than the Tero 5. The Tero 5 has a more wider tires and is more smooth on harsh roads but it’s more heavy and less nimble. You really need to try the twos and make your mind by yourself.

      Id say probably. But maybe test ride first. I have a Vado 5.0 w the igh. It has the 90nM 2.2 motor. I love it!!!! Worth the money so long as you want to ride a lot and go fast.

      15.5kmh is far too slow like here in the UK. So you can easily fit a Speedbox 3.0 tuning device which will derestrict the bike to 28mph

    Hello, I have ordered last weel a Tero X 4.0 on Specialized web shop. Price is 2100 euro tax and transport included. Smoller battery is ok for my use the only dubt is about the poor torque respect the higher models. Is it possible to make upgrade of the motor ornot?

      Hello, I also ordered a Specialized Turbo Tero X 4.0 for about 2100 euros (In Poland) and I have the same doubts about the torque of 50 Nm, I don't know if it would be enough for me. I;m wondering to cancel the order and look for something else or keep it.

    This bike has the same motor and battery as the Vado 4, but testing showed an increase in range for the Tero. That makes no sense. I think something may have been off with the Vado 4 you tested.

    Take it out to Guacamole and tear the fenders off! The fenders make it a commuter; unclear what Specialized is attempting with the e-Bike, but at $5,500 at least you are not going to see 11-15 year-old kids riding it ... that's saved for cheap Rad Power, Lectric and Super 73 consumer direct garbage!
