Velotric Packer

What the Velotric Packer is built for

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

It has a 750 W hub motor, 75 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 52 miles (84 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 Packer carries up to 441 lb (200 kg) including the rider and is rated IPX6 against water.

In the United States the Velotric Packer sells for $2,199, above the median of $1,699 across 21 cargo e-bikes with a US price, among the premium models. That is $3 per watt-hour of battery.

Where the Velotric Packer may be ridden

Velotric Packer 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 750 W motor is above the 250 W limit, 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 Packer safety certification

The brand states that the Velotric Packer 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.
