It’s You, Only Faster
The whisper quiet Specialized SL 1.2 motor gets you up to a top speed of 28 mph in a blink with blow-your-hair-back acceleration, and delivers 320 watts of Supernatural power that feels like an extension of you. A 520Wh battery will sustain your ride for up to 5 hours. That’s a 20 minute commute, both ways, for a week straight without having to recharge.
It’s You, Only Fitter
Unlock your performance with the Vado SL 2 e-bike’s unmatched capability. Personal fitness metrics and ride customization - all available right in the Specialized App - meet the versatility to ride a staggeringly fast lightweight commuter, or a nimble urban cargo bike and family carrier.
It’s You, Only More Confident
Vado SL 2 Carbon delivers confidence on any road - and every stop along the way. Future Shock 3.2 is proven to deliver a smoother ride, while the bike’s ergonomics are designed to deliver easy, nimble handling that feels safe and comfortable. When it’s time to step away from your bike, Apple Find My Integration and Turbo System Lock Anti-theft let you do it with the same confidence you get in the saddle.
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."
