32 MPH Fat Tire eBike
For Starters
This bike had minimal setup time out of the box. I really like the color of the one I reviewed (Forest), and there are 3 other colors to really make this bike fit your style. The Nomad 1 Plus will ship as a class 2 ebike with a 20 mph max speed, but I show you in the beginning of my video how to change that max speed.
Drivetrain and Brakes
The Nomad 1 Plus comes with a Shimano 8-speed shifter and derailleur and a 46T chainring. This bike comes with hydraulic disc brakes and 180mm rotors.
Lighting, Comfort, and Safety
The step-thru design, upright riding style, and swept back bars scream comfort. Adding to that is a nicely padded seat, with a quick release adjustment for the seat height as well as an adjustable stem making this bike fully customizable for riders between 5’1″ and 6’4″. This bike does come with a headlight/reflector combo in the front and a rear tail light with braking indicator.
Motor and Battery
The Nomad 1 Plus comes with Velotric’s own 750 watt, rear-hub motor capable of producing 75nm of torque. The battery is UL certified (just like on all Velotric bikes). It’s a 691Wh battery powering a 48 volt system. The range claimed for the Nomad 1 Plus in pedal assist 1 is 55 miles or 52 miles using just the throttle.
Wheels and Tires
The wheels on this fat tire bike are 26″ aluminum alloy on Novatec hubs. The tires are a beefy 4.0″ wide. It’s a puncture-resistant tire made by CST and I love the huge white markings on the side.
Final Thoughts
The Nomad 1 Plus is a great value at under $1,400 at the time of this review. It’s super stable and comfortable. I would love a bigger battery, maybe 800-850Wh, but if you live in a relatively flat area, and like to take it easy, this might just be the bike for you. If you decide to pick one up, please use my link. It doesn’t cost you any extra, and it really helps out my channel. https://alnk.to/74v9cAY
