What eBike is BEST for you?

For Starters

Hey! If you’ve been following my channel (or this blog), then you’ve likely already seen two of these bikes. If not, here are the links for those:

Today, I also have the Velotric Fold 1 to add to the mix. These are three of Veltoric’s top sellers, and I’m going to dive into their features as well as try to help you determine what style of eBike might suit your needs. Let’s get into it!

Summit 1 Highlights

• Style is for mountain biking with modern geometry.
• Compared to the other bikes, you’ll get:
  • a wider handlebar for stability
  • a more forward leaning position
  • better suspension for heading off-road
  • 27.5 tires with a knobby tread pattern great for off-road
  • a full-color display
• Can be set up as a class 1, 2, or 3 eBike – capable of hitting speeds up to 32mph (51kmh)

Discover 2 Highlights

• Traditional Hybrid style eBike with step-thru design
• Can be set up as a class 1, 2, or 3 eBike – capable of hitting speeds up to 32mph (51kmh)
• Comes with with fenders and a rear rack making it ideal for city commuting
• Compared to the other bikes, you’ll get:
  • a more upright riding position
  • smooth tread, 2.4″ wide tires – super plush
  • full-size wheels
  • a full-color display

Fold 1 Highlights

• IT FOLDS! People find this to be a great feature if they have a small space where they live or work, and it’s also great for campers
• Can be set up as a class 1, 2, or 3 eBike – capable of hitting speeds up to 32mph (51kmh)
• Compared to the other bikes, you’ll get:
  • a primarily paved-path loving bike – smaller wheels with 3″ wide tires and very light suspension makes it great for city streets and greenway paths
  • upright riding position and ergonomic grips
  • again, it folds – great for small spaces
  • the rear rack will hold 120 pounds!

Velotric Standards

These are the things that you’ll get from any of these Velotric bikes:

• No skimping on the motors. All three have 750 watt rear-hub motors, though the available torque on each bike is different
• Big batteries (given the size of bike) offering around 70 miles of range for Summit 1 and Discover 2 and 55 miles of range for Fold 1.
• Charge time from a fully dead battery is just a few hours
• All batteries have a UL certification with a high water resistance rating
• Throttle will take you to top speed – some brands only allow you to hit top speed if you’re pedaling, but Velotric allows you to hit that top speed just using the throttle
• Multiple mounting points on the frame for bottles and accessories
• Hydraulic Tektro brakes with 180mm rotors front and back – going fast is only fun if you can stop
• Headlights and taillights (with a brake light also) on all models – Discover 2 also has turn signals
• All batteries are removable which is great for convenience
