Specialized Vado SL 4.0 E-bike. Large

Description

The Vado SL comes equipped with everything you need to start riding right away. First, the extra-bright, built-in lights give you higher visibility in low-light areas. Next, the MasterMind Turbo Control Unit (TCU) makes it easy to view ride info on the go. The Pathfinder tires roll fast on or off the pavement with plenty of grip, and the Vado SL's featherweight status also makes it perfect for city commuting and offers far more than ride quality — it means you can hang it on a wall or car rack. And it makes public transportation a breeze.

So whether you're going fast or far or both, the Vado SL provides the confidence to do it all at a fraction of the weight.

LIGHT WEIGHT: You’ll be blown away by how easy it is to lift your bike on to a rack, carry it up stairs, or ride nimbly around town, thanks to the category-leading light-weight of the Turbo SL technology, optimised frame materials, design, and specification.

COMFORTABLE AND CONFIDENT: Body position and handling are optimized to deliver unsurpassed riding comfort, confidence, and control. Powerful hydraulic disc brakes reign in your speed, while larger tires provide maximum traction for turning and stopping.

TURBO SL: The heart of the Vado is its Turbo SL technology, the advanced and integrated electric bike system that delivers an unequaled combination of light-weight, natural feel, anti-theft functions, training tips, a full-function bike computer, ride anywhere range, and more.

In April this year, the motor was replaced under Warranty by authorised Specialized Service centre, it also received a full service and all is working as it should. It actually turned out that a new motor was not required and it was a loose mount picked up on service so the new motor is a Bonus and has covered just under 245 miles as per image. I have receipt from J's cycles at Knottingley West Yorkshire to verify this. This is a used bike and has some light wear and usage marks from gravel riding, (e.g Trans Pennine trail), clothing and cable rub, and I have pictured examples of these. This is also an excellent commuting bike which has also seen much of its use. in 2024 I had both tyres upgraded to a Tubeless set up on Panaracer Gravel king tyres. The rear tyre then suffered an unrepairable blow-out and I refitted the original Pathfinder tyre with inner tube. The front tyre is still Panaracer tubeless but I still have the original Pathfinder front tube and tyre which will be included in the sale. For Winter use, I am also including SKS Speedrocker Fenders/mudguards, which I have removed for Summer. I placed frame protection tape at the mounting points to prevent paint rub and have left this on....but you can remove if not required. I have Refitted the originally supplied Specialized flat pedals which are unused. Size Large which Specialized state is 5'10 to 6'2 but again please refer to website for more precise guidance. I am 5'10 tall and it is ideal for me. Original charger, case and manuals all included. One of the lightest e-bikes on the market (SL-Super Light) and I have regularly placed it in boot of my car with no problem, I think Size large weighs around 14.5kg but check Specialized for accuracy. If you would like to Test ride before buying, then please bring Passport or Driving licence for Photo ID. Payment by Instant Bank transfer only, no cash please.
