Levo DNA

Nothing is smoother and more powerful than the Specialized 3.1 motor system in your Vado 3. Take control of your city with 810 W peak power, 105 Nm of torque, and pitch‑perfect SuperNatural power delivery.

Confidence Starts with Control

Vado 3 gives you the power to accelerate when it matters most—so you move with the flow of city traffic instead of being left behind. From 0 to 25 kph in just 3 seconds, you're always in command. And because every watt is delivered with precision, you’re calm at full power, whether it's a quick start at the lights, riding with a heavy load, conquering hilly commutes and long trekking days—nothing responds faster.

Turbo Performance Comes Standard

All Vado 3 models come equipped with the Specialized 3.1 motor system, because performance shouldn't depend on which bike you choose. We build Active e-bikes with full power as the standard, with Turbo system tuning for whisper-quiet power, long range, and a natural ride feel.

Levo DNA

The Specialized 3.1 motor is the pinnacle of mechanical and sonic performance. While noticeably quieter than the Vado 2 e-bike it’s tuned exhaust note is like that of a high-performance car—subtle, precise, a purr that makes your pulse race.

All the power and confidence in the world means nothing if you can't rely on it every day. The Vado 3’s battery door and its Specialized 3.1 motor are precision engineered to keep the elements out. Even with the battery door open, an IP67 rating ensures you never have to fear rain or the harshest conditions.

Even if you remove the battery from the frame while out in a hurricane, the system stays sealed against the weather so your ride remains unstoppable.

Built-In Apple Find My

We worked directly with Apple for a first-of-its-kind Find My integration. No more trying to hide an AirTag on your bike, where it could easily be discarded. Just sync the onboard computer with your iPhone, and your Vado 3 becomes a findable device directly in the Find My app. That’s peace of mind—built right in.

Unmatched Locking System

This isn´t just a lock, it´s a system. The wheel lock, Turbo System lock, and battery lock work together seamlessly to protect your investment.

Unmatched Protection

For added security, simply connect a compatible Abus cable lock and it can be digitally locked and unlocked by the same system. This allows you to secure your bike to a rack or other fixed object. All these locks work together for unmatched protection with unbeatable convenience.

Specialized Touchscreen

Every detail you need put front and center—charge level, motor support mode, ride data, and your personal performance metrics—and all easily customizable. It also connects via Bluetooth with other devices like Apple and Garmin watches to keep all your data in the apps you already use and love.

Headlight

Up front is the integrated LED headlight, featuring a 450 lm low setting and incredibly bright 805 lm high beam. No clutter, no compromise—just pure integration for a cockpit that sets a new standard in e-bike design.

One-Hand Battery Removal and Install

Engineered for real life, so you can easily remove or re-insert the battery with just one hand. Our innovative digital keyless security system releases the battery at the touch of a button, and the ergonomic handle ensures comfort when you’re on the move. The flat base also allows the battery to stand securely when set down.

Complete Control, Completely Personalized

Whether you’re craving a powerful boost or a smoother ride, the Tune feature puts you in charge of your bike’s performance. Fine-tune settings like motor support, acceleration, and top speed to perfectly match your riding style and preferences, creating a ride that’s uniquely yours.

Shuttle Mode

Like having a booster pack when you need some extra oomph. When you turn up Shuttle Mode, the Specialized motor gets to full power faster with minimal pedaling effort, letting you zip up hills without breaking a sweat, even when fully loaded with cargo. You can fine‑tune Shuttle Mode in the Mission Control app, from zero to full boost.

Auto Mode

If you prefer to set it and forget it, Auto Mode will instant adjust support level based on your speed, cadence, and pedaling effort.

Dynamic Micro Tune with 1x You

For the most predictable and easiest to control power, the new 1x You mode in the Dynamic Micro Tune setting precisely matches motor output to rider input for ultimate control and efficiency.

Rear Rack

Instead of sourcing an aftermarket rear rack, our team designed our own. We made it stiffer and more secure, with up to 27 kg fully loaded, then reinforced and stiffened its mounting points on the frame. Every detail, from the smart rack, MIK-HD and MIK Side mounting system, to the elastic straps, makes carrying essentials effortless, while integrated safety features keep every ride secure and confident.

Gear Mounts

More than enough mounting points and countless configuration options let you carry your bottles and lock exactly the way you want.

Riding Position

Creating Vado 3 meant rethinking comfort and control from the ground up. To do it, we united our frame designers with our Body Geometry and Retül experts. Drawing on decades of data, thousands of real-world tests, and physical metrics from over 7,000 different people, we modeled the ideal riding position for touring—upright, relaxed, and efficient, mile after mile. The result is less pressure on the hands, shoulders and neck.

Rider Adjustability

The Vado 3’s frame geometry optimizes rider position and includes this set of adjustment points to let every rider dial in their ideal position.

• Generous cockpit spacers enable a truly upright and extremely comfortable riding position, and can easily be lowered to a sportier setup

• Lowerable and suspended seatpost drops with a simple touch of a button

• Adjustable seatpost height fine tunes overall fit to achieve the ideal leg extension and a naturally centered posture

• Saddle rails have refined fore-aft adjustability to balance reach and comfort

Smooth and Confident

The Vado 3 gets a 90 mm suspension fork tuned by our Ride Dynamics Team to deliver the perfect ride. This high-performance machine will eat up rough city roads, creating motion without friction.

Lowerable and Suspended Seat

Vado 3 is designed for incredible confidence while stopping and starting. A single touch of a button lowers the 40 mm suspended seat and puts your feet flat on the ground while still seated, making stops relaxed and easy. Once you start pedaling and the Specialized 3.1 motor has you up to cruising speed, hit the button to raise your seat for the most efficient and confident riding position—and enjoy added comfort from the seatpost´s built-in suspension.

Our Most Confident Handling Active Bike Ever

The most confident handling and the most comfortable position mean nothing if they don’t deliver on all-day adventures, when loaded up with groceries, carrying the kids, or navigating a crowded city at speed. That’s why Vado 3 is our most confident and comfortable Active bike for any ride you can imagine.

Reinforced Racks and Mounts for Unmatched Stability While Loaded

The perfect racks didn’t exist, so we designed our own. We made it stiffer and more secure, up to 27 kg fully loaded, then reinforced and stiffened its mounting points on the frame for a stable and balanced ride.
