Specialized Turbo Vado SL 5.0 Step Through Equipped

Meet the Vado SL. A super-light E-Bike, for commuting to work and keeping fit. If you need to transport your bike, the Vado SL is 40% lighter than the Vado Full Power, so you can easily lift it onto the car's bike rack, or hang it in the garage. There is no other E-Bike with the same combination of ride quality, lightness, range and power. Saddle up and ride! The Vado SL has everything you need as standard. The integrated headlights are very bright and make you visible during the evening or in low light conditions. The TCU MasterMind makes all useful information visible. The Pathfinder tyres are very smooth.

Lightweight
Thanks to optimised frame materials, components and Turbo SL technology, you'll be amazed at how easy it is to lift the Vado SL up the stairs, hang it up, put it on the car's bike rack and how agile it is in traffic.

Comfort and confidence
The riding position and handling provide unparalleled comfort, perfect control, and maximum confidence. Powerful disc brakes allow you to brake even when pedalling at speed, while wide-section tyres provide maximum traction when cornering.

Autonomy
Enjoy pedalling far, up to 130 km on a single charge, or if using the Range Extender (available separately), up to 190 km or 9 hours.

Turbo SL
Turbo SL technology is at the heart of the Vado SL. An advanced, integrated E-bikes system that is lightweight, provides natural pedalling assistance, has anti-theft functions, a multifunctional display and great autonomy.
