Velotric is on a roll with their new line of ebikes. I’ll be reviewing all of them starting with the Velotric Fold 1, their entry into the folding ebike market. The price comes in at an affordable $1199.
The Velotric Fold is an instant winner in my book. It feels like a more expensive ebike than its price tag suggests. It can be unlocked for class 3 speeds and I even hit 30mph while pedaling on a flat stretch. That power comes from a 750 watt motor paired with a 48V, 604 watt hour (12.7ah) UL certified battery.

Sizing
Ebike weight: 63 lbs, 440 lb payload capacity, 15.7 inch standover height, rack supports 120 lbs.

No battery percentage on display, front coil shock can rattle.
