Specialized Turbo Vado SL 2 5.0 Electric Hybrid Bike in Dove Gray

The All-New Specialized Turbo Vado SL 2.

Among the different types of bicycles in Specialized's electric range, the Specialized Turbo Vado SL 2 5.0 sits apart. Nothing else combines this much power, speed, and range at such a low weight. It's a high-performance 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, confident handling, and a whisper-quiet motor with surprisingly forceful power.

The Specialized SL 1.2 motor hits 15.5mph in a blink, with the kind of acceleration that catches you off guard the first time. It puts out 320 watts of assist that feels like an extension of your own legs rather than a separate system pushing you along. A 520Wh battery sustains your ride for up to 5 hours. That's a 20-minute commute, both ways, for a full working week without touching a charger.

The Specialized Turbo Vado SL is already a strong machine. The SL 2 takes it further. Personal fitness metrics and ride customisation through the Specialized app sit alongside the versatility to run it as a fast lightweight commuter or a nimble city e-bike, depending on what the day asks for.

Future Shock 3.1 absorbs what British roads throw at it, while the geometry keeps handling easy and predictable. And when you do park up, Apple Find My integration and Turbo System Lock anti-theft mean you can walk away without a second thought.
