Velotric Go

What the Velotric Go is built for

The Velotric Go is a cargo e-bike built to carry shopping, gear or children.

It has a 900 W peak hub motor, 65 Nm of torque and a top speed of 25 mph (40 km/h).

It carries a 691 Wh removable 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 Go carries up to 441 lb (200 kg) including the rider and is rated IPX6 against water.

In the United States the Velotric Go sells for $1,699, close to the median of $1,699 across 21 cargo e-bikes with a US price. That is $2 per watt-hour of battery.

Where the Velotric Go may be ridden

Velotric Go is sold as Class 2 (throttle, up to 20 mph) under the three-class system most US states use.

In the European Union and the United Kingdom an e-bike counts as a bicycle only within the pedelec limits; as specified, its 25 mph (40 km/h) top speed is above the 25 km/h at which assistance must stop and its throttle moves it without pedalling, which the pedelec rules allow only as start-up help at walking pace. 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 Go safety certification

The brand states that the Velotric Go 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.
