As most of you are aware of, Specialized constantly change the Turbo e-bikes specifications, and that depends on the geographical sales area, the specific make and model, model year, etc. The information given on the Specialized website may reflect the specification of the given model and the model version. More deep information as the bike rated weight or maximum load are never specified.
However, there is one situation in which the brand has to give precise technical data sheet to be legally correct. It is the S-Pedelec (45 km/h or 28 mph) model version delivered to the European Union, known as Class 3 in the United States or L1e-B Euro class. The Certificate of Conformity must be issued for each individual S-Pedelec to be sold in Europe (it pertains to all brands, is it Specialized, Haibike or Bulls). Giant does not sell their Speed Bikes in Europe and Trek's Allant+ 9.9S can be bought if you really try.
There is some interesting information about Vado 5.0 WMN that was produced in Taiwan in 2017 (your e-bike might be different but the information could also be pretty close).
Perhaps it is of interest to someone.
