Meet the Vado SL. This super-light e-bike was designed to take on anything from daily commutes through urban landscapes to clocking even faster workouts. Need to carry your bike? No sweat. Weighing 40% less than the full-power Vado, there’s no other electric bike out there with ride quality, range, and power like this. All you need to do is get on and go.
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.

Every bike is professionally assembled, tuned, and tested before shipping. It is then partially disassembled and packed for shipping. Some assembly is required upon arrival. We recommend professional assembly or having a professional check your work. Damage caused during assembly makes the bike ineligible for return.
We charge a flat rate for bike shipping. See the rates here. Most bikes ship within 1 business day, with transit times of 3–7 days.
Returns are within 14 days if the bike is unused, in like-new condition, and in original packaging. Once ridden outside, bikes are non-returnable. Details here.
