Key highlights
At around 16. 7kg, the Vado SL 5. 0 EQ combines real e-bike performance with a weight light enough to carry up stairs or lift onto a car rack.
240W peak power and 35Nm torque deliver natural, "2x You" pedal assistance up to 28mph, without the bulk of a full-power system.
Integrated headtube travel in the carbon fork smooths out road buzz and potholes for a noticeably more comfortable ride than a rigid commuter.
An 11-50t cassette gives genuine climbing gears for hilly commutes and longer rides.
