Turbo Vado SL 2 4.0 Step-Through EQ
Fitness E-Bike · Step-Through · 520Wh · SL 1.2 · Shimano CUES 10spd

The Turbo Vado SL 2 4.0 Step-Through EQ is the most accessible Vado SL 2 step-through — same featherlight SL 1.2 motor and 520Wh battery as the 5.0 EQ, with a 10-speed Shimano CUES drivetrain instead of 11-speed. Future Shock 3.1, integrated lighting and display, fenders, and Turbo SL rack — everything you need for fast commutes and fitness rides.

  • SL 1.2 Motor: 320W — lightweight, natural-feeling assist, whisper quiet.
  • 520Wh SL2-520 Battery: Fully integrated, up to 5 hours eco range.
  • Step-Through Frame: Easy on/off — perfect for stop-and-go city riding.
  • Future Shock 3.1: 20mm smooth travel, ergo-friendly integrated stem.
  • Shimano CUES 10-speed: RD-U6000 rear derailleur, SL-U6000 shift levers, 11-48t.
  • Integrated Lighting: Lezyne Hecto STVZO E350+ headlight, Spanninga taillight.
  • Turbo SL Rack + Fenders: MIK HD compatible, 27kg, integrated alloy fenders.
  • 20.54kg (45 lb): ~240g heavier than the 5.0 Step-Through EQ.

The 4.0 Step-Through EQ is the entry point to the Vado SL 2 step-through family — lightweight, fast, and accessible.
