Velowave Prado S

What the Velowave Prado S is built for

The Velowave Prado S is a commuter e-bike, built for daily rides to work, errands and city streets.

It has a 750 W motor and a top speed of 25 mph (40 km/h).

It carries a 720 Wh battery and a stated range of up to 40 miles (64 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 Velowave Prado S carries up to 331 lb (150 kg) including the rider.

In the United States the Velowave Prado S sells for $1,299, close to the median of $1,499 across 230 commuter e-bikes with a US price. That is $2 per watt-hour of battery.

Where the Velowave Prado S 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, 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.

Velowave Prado S safety certification

The brand's listing for the Velowave Prado S 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.
