Sooo much FUN!!!,
This bike lets me get out and have fun and not fret the hills
The motor only kicks in when you’re peddling so its not a free ride… You’ll have to change gears when going uphill. Its electric motor is pretty silent and others don’t even notice that you’re riding a power assisted bike. Its so much fun that I’ve been riding 10-20 miles a day and I’ve lost some weight too!

|disappointing,
This bike arrived on time. However, it was not the bike pictured on amazon. It is, however similar, and equal in power. Well, it was so badly dammaged in shipping, that the 2 racks that go over the fenders were cracked. The panel on the handle bars that has the power button also has a button for headlight, but there is no head light. Also, a spoke was broke. The assembly instructions were extremely poor. I did not call customer service because I knew they would tell me to box it up and send it back… which would of taken several hours. I took it to one bike shop, and they told me they dont do electric bikes. …. so beware, your local bike dealer may not service this bike. Fortunately, I was able to find a shop to put it together.
After assembly and a charge, the ride was nice and smooth, and the power from the moter made riding on a flat surface effortless, and going up hills very easy. I rode for 1 hour before the energy gague went down 1 notch (1 of 4). So, aside from the fact that the bike is not the one pictured, and minus 2 broken racks, inadequate assembly instructions, and a missing headlamp, and a broken spoke, I am reluctant to allow this item to be more deserving of anything over 2 stars. I would expect that anyone who pays $1500 for a bike should at least get the bike pictured, and not have all these problems.

|I like it, but …,
The e-moto 2.0 velocity is a nice bike. It seems build like a tank. It definitely is quite a bit heavier then my mountain bike.
I plan to use this bike on a daily 10 mile commute. I really want to like this product, and it does have a lot of pro’s going for it.
Pros:
- fenders
- shipped with a solid chain lock
- nice “leather” seat and handholds
- like the upright position when riding (not hung over, mountain bike style)
- Its plenty fast (very limited test, due to reasons below)
- well balanced even though its a heavy bike, center of gravity is low.
- you can pedal it easy with battery switched off
- nice colors
- does the job, its fast
- cheap (I paid 1180 USD), which is a good price for a bike with this range.
Assembling it is a challenge since no instructions were included, and the ones on their website are for an older version of the product. Come on e-moto, get with the program. Assembly took me an hour.
Shipping was late and the box arrived already open. If E-moto would take the extra few steps in improving their packaging, I believe they would have much happier customers.
Because of this, I also ended up with 2 cut off spokes on the front wheel (cost me 11$ to have it fixed at REI). Funny thing is that the repair guy recognized the e-moto wheel and explained they had had 4 to 5 similar cases.
Additionally I have a slow leak at the rear valve, which was probably caused by the slime product they put in. Could they not have tested and shipped with an inflated tire?
Gripes:
- It doesn’t have a light included with it. That would have been a nice addition.
- Poor packing and documentation
- unclear were I will be able to buy a new battery when this one runs out
- leaky valve
Beware:
- this bike is pedal assist. You have to pedal to engage the battery. I personally like this, but will have to see how I like it in the long run. There is an option to install a throttle. Not sure how or who does that.
Have Fun !!
