Specialized Turbo Vado SL 2 4.0 Electric Hybrid Bike

Of all the types of bikes in Specialized's electric lineup, the Turbo Vado SL 2 4.0 Electric Hybrid Bike makes the most compelling case for everyday riding. Nothing matches this combination of power, speed, and range at such a low weight. It's a high-performance lightweight Specialized electric hybrid bike carefully engineered to make fitness genuinely fun and your daily commute properly electric.

Ultra-light alloy frame, Future Shock for a smooth ride, an ergonomic position for sharp and confident handling, and a quiet motor with more punch than its size suggests.

It's You, only faster

The whisper-quiet Specialized SL 1.2 motor gets you to 15.5mph in a blink, with blow-your-hair-back acceleration and 320 watts of assist that feels like a natural extension of your own legs. A 520Wh battery keeps you going for up to 5 hours. That's a 20-minute commute, both ways, for a full working week without touching a charger.

It's You, only fitter

The Specialized Turbo Vado SL platform was already well regarded. The SL 2 builds on it with personal fitness metrics and ride customisation through the Specialized app, giving you the versatility to run it as a staggeringly fast lightweight commuter e-bike or a nimble urban electric bike, depending on what the day asks for.

It's You, only more confident

The Specialized Turbo Vado SL delivers confidence on any road, and at every stop along the way. Future Shock 3.1 absorbs what British tarmac throws at it, while the geometry keeps handling easy and predictable from the very first ride. When it's time to leave the bike, Apple Find My integration and Turbo System Lock anti-theft mean you can walk away without a second thought.
