Turbo Vado Day: A 12‑Hour Premium E‑Bike Rental to Ride the Rolling Hills of Friday Harbor.
On San Juan Island, the work of a day is often measured in headwinds, climbs and the slow reveal of shoreline. The Full Day Premium E‑Bike Rental pairs that landscape with a machine built to erase strain: the Specialized Turbo Vado 3.0’s electric assist lets riders move steadily through the island’s rolling hills, reaching speeds up to 28 mph and covering 40–60 miles per charge. The result is a single‑day freedom to thread together quiet roads and vistas without the mechanical limits of a conventional bicycle.
