I love my T1!

This review is after riding over 200 miles on the bike. Major pros for the bike include: First and foremost, it is a well designed bike. Velotric has done a good job of optimizing performance versus weight versus battery management. I am routinely getting 50 miles per charge (without using the range extender battery). here in Northeast Florida using city mode averaging 16 mph. And when I am done with my ride, I have the option of strapping my bike on a regular bike rack on the back of my sedan to drive home with no issues what so ever. The frame is very stiff and does a a good job of translating the power I put on the pedals through the transmission system into forward motion. Shifting gears is very reliable as I have noticed only 1 error in shifting in the 200 plus miles I have ridden the bike. The brakes are quiet, feel solid, and do a good job of providing stopping performance. The bike is quite capable of being ridden without pedal assist. I completed the first 7.5 miles of a 16.5 mile ride without pedal assist. As previously stated, I typically average around 16 mph for my rides in city mode. Without pedal assist, my average dropped to between 12-13 mph which is acceptable to me. The bike is also pretty quiet when the motor is engaged. I have had several people ask me about my bike not realizing it was an e-bike. When told it was an e-bike, the look on their faces is quite satisfying for me. Now some constructive feedback for Velotric: When I first assembled my bike, I had some issues with getting the firmware to update. I had to wait until the bike had sufficient cell reception before it would complete the initial firmware upgrade. I have not checked for any recent firmware upgrades, and maybe a recent upgrade has corrected this issue. The trip meter and the odometer readings in the IOS version of the Velotric app are inaccurate. For example, a known distance of 7.2 miles records as 5.5 miles in the app. This is not a large issue for me because I use a different cycling app with sufficient accuracy. While the paint job (crystal black) is beautiful on my bike, there are several places (top tube/down tube meeting the head tube) where the welds could be better sanded. While the look is sufficient for me, I think a little extra effort here could improve the visual appeal of the bike. The suspension seat post I received as part of the packaged bundle is not providing me with the results I was seeking. The post is too stiff and I am getting very little deflection with my 180 lb frame. I have tried adjust the post in every way possible and it just does not work for me. Finally, I am very happy with my purchase. I also had the opportunity to engage support and I was pleased with the responsiveness of the support team. I own several other brands of e-bikes and if anyone asks for my recommendation of a brand, Velotric will be at the top of the list of my recommendations. Well done to the Velotric team!

Four and a half stars.

I purchased this as my second E-bike, I wanted something smaller and lighter that makes the rider work a bit more. This bike does exactly that. I added a suspension seat post, upgraded the pedals, and put on some handlebars with a bit more rise. I really like the bike for rides out to about 30 miles, for trips beyond that I will ride the bigger bike because it is much more comfortable (suspension, fat tires, etc)
