The 3 Best Ebikes for Commuters
The Turbo Como SL from Specialized is any commuter’s dream bike. This new model is the perfect combination of power, range, usability, and comfort. Even more exciting? It weighs 40% less than the average ebike, while still being able to carry twice its weight in cargo! Whether you’re running errands or heading off to work, the Turbo Como SL is the perfect ride for the job.
This bike comes with features specifically designed to make a commuter’s life easier, including the ability to shift gears anytime (even when stopped), an integrated basket, and front and rear lighting.
Motor: Specialized SL 1.1, a custom lightweight motor, and a custom Specialized wiring harness w/ chargeport
Battery: Specialized SL 1-320, fully integrated, 320Wh
The Specialized Turbo Vado’s motor has been custom-tuned for city riding, making it the perfect electronic road bike. It reacts intuitively to the force of your pedaling – the harder you pedal the faster you’ll go, perfect for the occasional day when you’re running a bit late!
The battery is fully integrated with the frame, removable for easy charging, and lockable for extra security.
The Vado also comes in a step-through variant. Step-through bikes are easy to get on and off, perfect if you wear more formal attire to work that offers less flexibility, such as a suit or skirt.
The Specialized Turbo Creo SL Comp Carbon is exceptionally lightweight, making maneuvering the bike much easier.
Perfect for a longer commute to work, the Creo SL offers 80 miles of range, with an optional range extender that adds another 40 miles.
You can also connect the bike to the Mission Control App from Specialized to tune the motor to your riding style, monitor the battery life, and track your rides.
Looking to upgrade? The Specialized Turbo Creo SL Expert offers Future Shock 2.0, which gives you a great increase in speed and reduced fatigue.
