Is it for you?
Best suited to
Riders who already ride regularly and want a bike that feels as close to an acoustic road or hybrid as possible. The Vado SL is the anti-e-bike e-bike.
Standout strength
Weight. At 14.5 kg it is roughly half the weight of most cargo-capable e-bikes. Carry it upstairs, put it in your car, forget it is electric.
The main compromise
The SL 1.1 motor maxes out at 35 Nm. Steep sustained climbs with a loaded rack expose its limits.
