Turbo Vado SL 4.0 Step-Through

Meet the Vado SL — a super-light e-bike 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.

  • Light Weight: You'll be blown away by how easy it is to lift your bike onto a rack, carry it up stairs, or ride nimbly around town — category-leading light-weight thanks to Turbo SL technology and optimized frame materials.
  • Comfortable and Confident: Body position and handling deliver unsurpassed riding comfort, confidence, and control. Powerful hydraulic disc brakes reign in your speed, while larger tires provide maximum traction for turning and stopping.
  • Turbo SL: 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, and ride anywhere range.
  • Ready to Ride: Extra-bright built-in lights, the MasterMind Turbo Control Unit (TCU), and fast-rolling Pathfinder tires — everything you need to start riding right away.

The Vado SL provides the confidence to go fast or far — or both — at a fraction of the weight. Whether you're commuting through the city or heading out for a longer adventure, the Vado SL is built to perform. The speed limit at which the motor stops supporting may vary by region and affects range accordingly.
