2024 Specialized Turbo Vado SL 4.0 Step-Through EQ Electric Hybrid Bike

There's no other e-bike out there with ride quality, range, and power like this, at a weight that's light enough to carry. This super-light e-bike is perfect for daily commutes through the urban jungle or even for fast workouts. Weighing 40% less than the full-power Vado, it makes it easy to carry when you need to. Make shopping for your essentials, commuting to work or going for a weekend spin easier with a bike geared up for practicality.

The Specialized Turbo Vado SL Electric Hybrid Bike comes equipped with everything you need to start riding right away. The extra-bright, built-in lights give you higher visibility in low-light areas. The MasterMind Turbo Control Unit (TCU) makes it easy to view ride info on the go. The Nimbus tyres roll fast on or off the pavement with plenty of grip, and the Vado SL's featherweight status also makes it perfect for city commuting and offers far more than ride quality. It means you can hang it on a wall or car rack, and makes public transportation a breeze.

So whether you're going fast, far or both, the Vado SL provides the confidence to do it all at a fraction of the weight.

You’ll be surprised by how easy it is to lift your bike on to a rack, carry it up stairs, or ride nimbly around town, thanks to the category-leading light-weight of the Turbo SL technology, optimised frame materials, design, and specification.

Body position and handling are optimised to deliver unsurpassed riding comfort, confidence, and control. Powerful hydraulic disc brakes reign in your speed, while larger tyres provide maximum traction for turning and stopping.

The heart of the Vado is its Turbo SL technology, the advanced and integrated electric bike system that delivers an unequaled combination of light-weight, natural feel, anti-theft functions, training tips, a full-function bike computer, ride anywhere range, and more.

The speed limit at which the motor will stop supporting may vary significantly by region and is based on local requirements. It may also affect range: a higher speed limit may result in less range.
