Discover the power and versatility of the Vado SL 4.0 Step-Through EQ. This is Specialized's high-performance e-bike designed with city life in mind, ideal for daily commuting or recreational rides. Despite being 40% lighter than its full-power cousins, the Vado offers unmatched ride quality, range, and power. It's not just a bike; it's your gateway to a whole new riding experience.
The Vado comes fully-loaded with features crafted for your comfort and safety. The powerful, yet discreet integrated lights provide enhanced visibility in low lighting, while the state-of-the-art Turbo Control Unit (TCU) ensures you can view ride information with ease. The nimble Nimbus tyres guarantee smooth, speedy rides wherever you choose to ride – tarmac or trails. Plus, with its lightweight structure, transport and storage is as easy as ever .
Experience the lightness of the Vado SL. Thanks to cutting-edge Turbo SL technology, the bike's frame is optimised to offer unmatched lightness in its category. Whether you’re carrying it up a flight of stairs, hanging it on a rack, or zipping through city lanes, the Vado SL ensures you do it with the least effort possible.
Ride with confidence like never before. With carefully calibrated body positioning and handling, the Vado SL delivers supreme riding comfort, quantifiable control, and unshakable confidence. Plus, with the powerful hydraulic disc brakes, you’ll have full command over your speed, and the large tyres offer maximum traction for precision manoeuvring.
At the heart of the Vado SL is the Turbo SL technology that provides natural feel, anti-theft functions, trail tips, a full-function bike computer, and an unequaled range.
Please note that the speed limit of the motor and the range of the bike may vary by region based on local requirements.
