Specialized Turbo Vado SL 5.0 EQ: Light, Fast, and Ready for Adventure
Introducing the Turbo Vado SL 5.0 EQ—your ultimate e-bike for commuting, fitness, and everything in between. Whether you're zipping through city streets, taking on longer distances, or just looking to enjoy an effortless ride, this sleek e-bike delivers on every front. With cutting-edge Turbo SL technology, lightweight design, and a range that goes the distance, the Vado SL 5.0 EQ is your perfect partner for both workdays and weekend adventures.
Key Benefits for Riders
Unmatched Lightweight Performance
The Turbo Vado SL 5.0 EQ is designed for riders who want a high-performance e-bike without the extra weight. Thanks to the Turbo SL system and optimized frame materials, this bike is 40% lighter than its full-power counterparts. Whether you're lifting it onto a rack, carrying it up stairs, or navigating through tight urban spaces, the Vado SL is nimble and easy to handle—making your daily commute and adventures a breeze.
Powerful, Efficient, and Smooth
At the heart of the Vado SL 5.0 is the Turbo SL 1.1 motor, which provides 240W of peak power and 35Nm of torque. This motor amplifies your efforts by 180%, offering natural assistance up to 28mph. Whether you're climbing hills, cruising along, or racing to your next destination, the motor delivers a seamless, intuitive ride. With the 320Wh battery, you can go up to 80 miles (130 km) on a single charge, or extend your range to 120 miles (200 km) with the optional range extender—making longer rides more enjoyable without the worry of running out of power.
Confidence and Control
Designed for comfort and stability, the Vado SL 5.0 EQ is equipped with a carbon fork and hydraulic disc brakes for smooth, controlled stopping power. The bike’s geometry ensures a comfortable ride, while the Future Shock 1.5 absorbs impacts from rough roads and potholes, ensuring you stay in control no matter the terrain. The larger tires provide ample grip, and the integrated lighting system enhances your visibility, keeping you safe in low-light conditions.
Versatility for Any Ride
The Vado SL 5.0 EQ is equipped with a fully integrated downtube battery, ensuring a sleek look without compromising on performance. Whether you're commuting, running errands, or exploring new routes, the bike comes with a rear rack for extra cargo space, DRYTECH fenders for protection, and an optional range extender for longer rides. It’s the perfect blend of style, utility, and power.
Smart Features for a Smarter Ride
The MasterMind Turbo Control Unit (TCU) gives you access to all the ride information you need in real-time. With customizable display fields, you can fine-tune your ride experience, track your data, and adjust support levels to suit your needs. Plus, the Vado SL integrates seamlessly with the Specialized app, which provides over-the-air updates and advanced ride diagnostics to ensure your bike stays in top shape.
Why Choose the Specialized Turbo Vado SL 5.0 EQ?

Whether you're looking for a bike to zip through your commute, go the distance on long rides, or just enjoy an effortless cycling experience, the Vado SL 5.0 EQ is a perfect choice.
