The Velotric Go 1 compact utility electric bike packs a relatively high torque motor capable of hauling a variety of cargo depending on the accessories you attach. Ebikes like Rad Power Bikes RadRunner are going to be in trouble when people start to find this light weight cargo ebike, or "utility ebike" because it has a stronger motor, it's cheaper, and prettier (in my opinion).
This Velotric Go 1 will tell you everything you need to know about this light cargo ebike before you buy it including how well it carries passengers, how well it climbs hills, how to increase the velotric top speed, how quickly the Velotric Go 1 accelerates, and how to swap out the Velotric cargo ebike accessories.
✅ My #1 Favorite Ebikes w/ pedals:
This is like the "Trophy Truck" of ebikes, like a pick-up truck with a nitrous switch, gigantic, outrageous power, plush suspension... think “smiles per gallon” instead of “miles per gallon”. I’m not your financial advisor, but I’d recommend you don't even look and get tempted to buy it today if you’re not prepared to impulse spend $$ on your new favorite toy:

Our Go 1 arrives today. We chose Velotric in large part based on your reviews of the other Velotric bikes and it looks like the Go 1 will be great for us. We chose the Go over the Packer because it’s got a shorter wheelbase so it won’t be as “bulky” in the garage yet it still has the ability to haul a lot of gear. I can’t wait to try it out. And of course we saved a bit with your discount code, thanks for that!

@@Rob337_aka_CancelProof we like it a lot so far. It’s mostly for my wife (though I enjoy it occasionally) & she likes the step-through frame & the small-ish size for a cargo bike. We’ve added a kids seat, which our son really likes. Really happy with it overall.

Those CST big boat tires are good finally they are coming with street tires. A proper dual kickstand for a cargo bike.

Hi Matt, I am enjoying your video's, nice scenery, and good real world testing...... I am in Africa. The voltage vs battery "indicator" is down to program choice, "animating" an icon takes more programming than just a plain voltage read out, so, voltage readout would be easier to obtain than an animated icon....... So the choice there I would say is just down to 1 of 2 things, screen "real-estate" or space, to me it seems there is enough space to do a voltage read out, the other, and which I think is most probably accurate, is that for most people a "tank style" full/empty icon is easier to understand. Would be nice to be able to choose though.

All they need to do is develop a top 'cage like' to attach to their (large or medium basket) so those who have pets can place them in the basket without having to worry about their pet jumping out or falling out from the rear :) If they make something of this nature I can then carry both of my dogs on the bike along with my camping gear rather than adding an additional trailer to pull from behind.

@daltonramsey9585 6 ай бұрын

The kickstand bottoming out made me laugh because that was one of the first things I noticed when looking at pictures. I have no interest in an e-bike for myself but I ordered this one for my wife and I hope it serves her well. We have a shop near by that stocks these so hopefully they will help with service. I was torn between this one and some others. REI has the generation 1.2 on a good sale right now but I got the Go 1 on a good sale too with some extras. I just want my wife to enjoy riding bikes with me and I hope this was the right choice.

Effect of wheel diameter: For the same size motor a smaller wheel diameter on a vehicle allows going up an incline easier and also gives longer range. It's basic physics and applies to an ebike, an EV or any other motorised vehicle for that matter.

Sweet 3 inch tires a great compromise between stability and the skinny ones with no drag but unstable as hell at high speed on anything but a perfectly smooth surface hopefully more manufacturers will adopt that strategy

I have a cheap ebike from Amazon. It gets me about 25 miles on a full charge nothing crazy. I do love it. The best thing for me about the bike is that no matter what pedal assist I'm using, if I hit the throttle, I know I'm getting full power. I love that for the moments, I just need a boost.

Reminds me of Tesgo Enterprise. I get the nice features and addons of velotric, but Tesgo makes bikes with high end performance. The Enterprise has the flaw of a seat tube battery, but STT/Hum Pro or their larger wheel bikes just have the right performance/value mix. Polarna (Same design team as Tesgo, but US focused drop shipper AFAIK) Hannover is the same "style" as Go 1. A flaw with Go 1 is that rear basket is incompatible with paniers/baskets. There are high torque/acceleration 28+mph ebikes out there, value priced. But you don't review them. Velotric makes great light weight ebikes, but this seems like a miss to me.

@justcommenting4981 11 ай бұрын

How is it a miss? Good cargo and range capacity while still being a functional bicycle?

@pascalj4331 11 ай бұрын

@@justcommenting4981 its just enough underpowered to be a miss. It does have some nice features. Lightest bike with double kickstand, huge cargo capacity, water bottle/generic battery mount, usb, thru axle fork, ok gearing. 65lbs is great weight for all around bike, even if its a touch long to fit in elevator or car. Miss for being underpowered, low torque, and weird possibly proprietary display that can't be upgraded for voltage display, and higher speed or more PAS settings. Handicapped power for Packer comparison was a bad choice. Its better in many ways than say a Lectric XP 3, but price is a lot more. Bad decisions that can't be easily fixed with a seatpost or even a fork, are worth waiting for competition that doesn't make obvious bad decisions.

@justcommenting4981 11 ай бұрын

@@pascalj4331 had enough torque to climb a hill with 2 riders. Also has gears which Tesgo 600 seemed to not have, making that bike impossible to peddle if loaded up and power is lost. The only thing I see that Tesgo 600 does better is folding.

We purchased this Vivi 27.5” electric bike and a Tentaquil 26” electric bike for our 13 and 14 year olds. kzfaq.infoUgkxUiL0GnyDjP32RJdd660sP8mZk4CRLTCJ The Vivi was much easier to put together. With the Vivi, there was a video link to assist with assembly which made the process easier to follow (we did put the handlebars on upside down, but it was a quick and easy fix). With the Tentaquil, the assembly was not as simple to follow, but after we messaged the company for an assembly video, it was easier and they did respond quickly. The other major differences were that the Vivi has a grip throttle on the right handle (like a motorcycle) and the Tentaquil has a push throttle that you use your thumb to activate. The monitors were also different, so if you’re looking for something specific in terms of changing the bikes functions, pay attention to what the monitor offers. We were really impressed with the overall quality and functionality of both bikes, but if you’re looking for more power and an easier assembly, definitely go with the Vivi!
