Specialized Science Club

Thank God some kids stayed in science club, because while you were cutting school, they were learning how to manipulate the laws of physics. Some of those kids grew up to be members of Specialized Science Club and helped make the Vado SL 2 an unprecedented combination of power, speed, and light weight.

"We wanted something more fun and confidence inspiring than anything we had done so far. With that vision, we immediately knew the bike had to set a new standard for performance and design. Now that it’s here, I can't wait to overtake all the Porsches stuck in Zürich traffic and see their reactions when my bike looks better than their car."

Great bike -- awful charger

Fantastic bike to ride. But massive design fail on the charger. The pins are so fragile that if you don't plug it right, they bend and then you can't plug it in. There's an arrow on the charger but no arrow on the charge panel so you don't know where to plug it in and if you get it wrong, you're screwed. Whoever designed this part of the bike real let the team down.
