PRODUCT DETAILS

Meet the 2023 Specialized Vado SL 5.0 EQ Step Thru Electric Bike. This super-light e-bike was designed to take on anything from daily commutes through urban landscapes to clocking even faster workouts. Need to carry your bike? No sweat. Weighing 40% less than the full-power Vado, there’s no other electric bike out there with ride quality, range, and power like this. All you need to do is get on and go. The Vado SL comes equipped with everything you need to start riding right away. First, the extra-bright, built-in lights give you higher visibility in low-light areas. Next, the MasterMind Turbo Control Unit (TCU) makes it easy to view ride info on the go. The Pathfinder tires 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 it makes public transportation a breeze. So whether you're going fast or far or both, the Vado SL provides the confidence to do it all at a fraction of the weight.

  • LIGHT WEIGHT: Youll be blown away 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.

BATTERY SIZE:

320 Wh

Battery size is measured in Watt-Hours (Wh). A higher number means more battery capacity which, in general, will increase range!

TOP SPEED:

28 Mph

In the US, eBikes have a top motor speed of either 20mph or 28mph, depending on the model, before cutting out and relying entirely on rider input.

BATTERY RANGE:

80 Miles

The range of an eBike depends on many factors, including battery size, motor power, current assist mode, weather, terrain, and rider/cargo weight. Given all these factors, manufacturers tend to give the best possible range reading in ideal conditions like a warm day on a flat, paved surface with an “average” rider in the lowest assist mode. Actual milage may vary.

MOTOR POWER:

240 Watts
MOTOR POWER

Motor wattage is a measure of the amount of power the motor can output in normal operating conditions. This is almost always a 'nominal' or 'sustained' reading while the 'peak' output can be higher in short bursts.

Class 1

Pedal assist only, top speed of 20mph.

Class 2

Pedal assist and throttle, top speed of 20mph.
