Note: Weight is the size-M figure from Specialized's spec sheet. Specialized lists the 3.1 motor as '810W power' without saying nominal or peak, so motorWatts is null. Range is stated as 'up to 150 km' (about 93 mi). The page states no class or top speed; Class 3 is listed as the US Vado norm and is unverified. Frame style is not named (no separate step-through product). Full suspension (130 mm fork, 120 mm rear). Rack rated 25 kg. No throttle is listed in the spec sheet. Rider height and total load limit are not published on the product page.
