Velotric T1

What the Velotric T1 is built for

The Velotric T1 is a commuter e-bike, built for daily rides to work, errands and city streets.

It has a 350 W (600 W peak) hub motor, 45 Nm of torque and a top speed of 25 mph (40 km/h).

It carries a 353 Wh battery.

The Velotric T1 weighs 36 lb (16.3 kg), carries up to 331 lb (150 kg) including the rider, uses a torque sensor, so the motor responds to how hard you pedal and is rated IP65 against water.

In the United States the Velotric T1 sells for $2,199, above the median of $1,499 across 230 commuter e-bikes with a US price, among the premium models. That is $6 per watt-hour of battery.

Where the Velotric T1 may be ridden

Velotric T1 is sold as Class 1 (pedal assist only, 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 350 W motor is above the 250 W limit and its 25 mph (40 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 T1 safety certification

The brand's listing for the Velotric T1 does not state a UL 2849 or EN 15194 certification. New York City allows only e-bikes certified to UL 2849 to be sold or rented there, and California requires certified batteries from 2026; ask the seller for the certificate before buying.
