The Specialized Vado SL 5.0 ST EQ is a super-light electric bike designed to handle everything from daily urban commutes to intense workout sessions.

Thanks to its lightweight design, carrying your bike is effortless—perfect for public transportation, staircases, or mounting on a wall or car rack.

Equipped with Nimbus II Sport Reflect 700 tires with BlackBelt flat protection and reflective accents, the Vado SL 5.0 ST EQ ensures fast rolling on various surfaces with excellent grip. The premium lightweight E5 Aluminum frame with a step-through design makes getting on and off the bike easy, perfect for navigating commuter traffic. Clean internal cable routing and reflective graphics add both functionality and style to your ride. The Specialized SL 1.1 custom lightweight motor provides up to 240W of peak power with 35Nm of torque, offering 180% rider amplification for effortless climbing and quick acceleration.

The fully integrated 320Wh downtube battery provides a range of up to 80 miles (130 km) or 6 hours in eco mode. For even longer rides, the optional Range Extender increases the range up to 120 miles (200 km) or 9 hours in eco mode. The Turbo SL mounted rear rack is Racktime-compatible, perfect for your favorite bags and panniers, while DRYTECH fenders keep road spray at bay. Premium hydraulic disc brakes deliver reliable stopping power in all conditions. The bike also features a lightweight, high-strength carbon fork with Boost™ 12x110mm thru-axle and Future Shock 1.5 for enhanced comfort on rough roads.
