Turbo Vado SL 5.0 Step-Through EQ

Meet the Vado SL, a super-light e-bike designed to handle everything from daily commutes through urban landscapes to faster workouts. Weighing 40% less than the full-power Vado, it delivers ride quality, range, and power without the weight penalty. The lightweight design makes it easy to lift onto a rack, carry up stairs, or hang on a wall, while also making public transportation a breeze. The Vado SL comes fully equipped to start riding right away. Extra-bright built-in lights provide higher visibility in low-light conditions, while the MasterMind Turbo Control Unit (TCU) displays ride information on the go. Nimbus tires roll fast on or off pavement with plenty of grip, and the featherweight frame means you can manage it easily in any situation. Body position and handling are optimized to deliver unsurpassed riding comfort, confidence, and control. Powerful hydraulic disc brakes provide maximum stopping power, while larger tires deliver maximum traction for turning and stopping. The Turbo SL technology at the heart of the Vado integrates an advanced electric bike system that combines lightweight design, natural feel, anti-theft functions, training tips, a full-function bike computer, and ride-anywhere range. The Vado SL features a fully integrated 320Wh downtube battery with optional Range Extender compatibility for extended range. The Specialized SL 1.1 custom lightweight motor delivers peak 240W and 35Nm of torque with 2x rider amplification (180% assistance) and assists up to 28mph. A lightweight and high-strength premium carbon fork with Boost 12x110mm thru-axle provides a solid foundation, while Future Shock 1.5 reduces impacts from rough roads and terrain. The step-through frame design makes on/off easier and helps manage commuter traffic. A Turbo SL mounted rear rack with Racktime compatibility accommodates your favorite bags and panniers, while DryTech fenders keep spray away. The SRAM GX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain delivers lightweight, precise performance, and DT Swiss R500 disc wheels paired with fast-rolling, high-grip Nimbus II Sport Reflect 700 tires with BlackBelt flat protection and reflective accents increase visibility.
