Introducing the Vado SL: Your Ultimate Lightweight E-Bike for City Commutes and Fast Rides
Meet the Vado SL, the super-light e-bike designed to tackle everything from daily urban commutes to high-speed workouts. Weighing 40% less than the full-power Vado, it offers unparalleled ride quality, range, and power—without the heavy bulk. Whether you’re speeding through the city, carrying it up stairs, or hopping on public transport, this bike makes every ride easy and enjoyable. Simply get on and go.
The Vado SL comes equipped with everything you need for an effortless ride. Bright, built-in lights enhance your visibility in low-light conditions, while the MasterMind Turbo Control Unit (TCU) provides real-time ride data. Nimbus tires roll smoothly on any surface, offering maximum grip. With its featherlight build, the Vado SL is ideal for city commuting, and its easy portability means you can hang it on a wall, store it on a rack, or take it on public transport without hassle.
Whether you’re riding fast, far, or both, the Vado SL delivers the power and confidence to do it all, all at a fraction of the weight.
You’ll be amazed at how easy it is to lift the Vado SL onto a car rack, carry it up stairs, or zip around town. Thanks to Turbo SL technology, the lightweight design, optimised frame materials, and carefully chosen components, this bike offers nimble handling and exceptional portability.
Engineered for comfort, the Vado SL ensures an optimal riding position and confident handling on all types of terrain. Hydraulic disc brakes provide powerful, reliable stopping power, while the larger tires offer excellent traction for smooth turns and confident stops.
At the heart of the Vado SL is Turbo SL technology, an advanced and integrated electric system that combines a natural feel with lightweight power. It also includes anti-theft protection, training tips, a full-function bike computer, and the ability to ride further with impressive range.
The Vado SL is designed for long-distance adventures. It comes with a 320Wh downtube battery, providing up to 80 miles (130 km) or 6 hours of riding time in eco mode. With the optional Range Extender, you can go up to 120 miles (200 km) or 9 hours in eco mode, making it ideal for longer journeys.
The Specialized SL 1.1 motor delivers 240W of peak power and 35Nm of torque, offering 180% rider amplification for smooth, efficient rides. With assistance up to 28mph, the Vado SL lets you zip through the city with ease, whether you’re cruising or pushing your limits.
The Vado SL comes with practical features like a Turbo SL rear rack that’s Racktime-compatible, making it easy to carry your bags or panniers. It also features DRYTECH fenders to keep you dry in wet conditions.
Crafted with a premium lightweight E5 aluminium frame, the Vado SL offers clean internal cable routing, fender and rack mounts, and reflective graphics to improve visibility and aesthetics. The step-through frame makes getting on and off easy, perfect for city commuting or weaving through traffic.
For maximum safety, the Vado SL is equipped with premium hydraulic disc brakes for superior stopping power, and integrated front and rear lights to ensure you’re always visible on the road.
The 11-speed SRAM NX drivetrain ensures reliable, precise shifting for a smooth ride on long trips, while the lightweight alloy wheels paired with Nimbus II Sport Reflect 700 tires offer fast rolling and high grip, with BlackBelt flat protection and reflective accents to keep you visible, day or night.
The Specialized Vado SL is the perfect e-bike for those who want a lightweight, high-performance ride without sacrificing power or range. Whether you're commuting, working out, or exploring, the Vado SL makes every journey smoother, faster, and more fun.
