Velotric Fold

What the Velotric Fold is built for

The Velotric Fold is a folding e-bike that packs down to fit a car boot, an apartment or a train.

It has a 750 W motor, 70 Nm of torque and a top speed of 28 mph (45 km/h).

It carries a 608 Wh battery and a stated range of up to 55 miles (88 km) on a charge. Real-world range is usually lower than the rated figure: it falls with throttle use, hills, cold weather, rider weight and higher assist levels.

The Velotric Fold carries up to 441 lb (200 kg) including the rider and is rated IPX7 against water.

In the United States the Velotric Fold sells for $1,299, above the median of $800 across 24 folding e-bikes with a US price, among the premium models. That is $2 per watt-hour of battery.

Where the Velotric Fold may be ridden

In the European Union and the United Kingdom an e-bike counts as a bicycle only within the pedelec limits; as specified, its 750 W motor is above the 250 W limit and its 28 mph (45 km/h) top speed is above the 25 km/h at which assistance must stop. A model above those limits is treated as a moped there, with type approval, registration and insurance, unless the brand sells a version set to the European limits.

Velotric Fold safety certification

The brand states that the Velotric Fold is certified to UL 2271 and UL 2849.

UL 2271 is the US safety standard for the battery pack of a light electric vehicle.

UL 2849 is the US safety standard for the whole electrical system of an e-bike: battery, charger, motor and controller tested together.

New York City allows only e-bikes certified to UL 2849, with batteries certified to UL 2271, to be sold or rented there; California requires e-bike batteries to meet UL 2849 or EN 15194 from 2026.
