Velowave Ranger 2.0

What the Velowave Ranger 2.0 is built for

The Velowave Ranger 2.0 is a commuter e-bike, built for daily rides to work, errands and city streets.

It has a 750 W hub motor and a top speed of 28 mph (45 km/h).

It carries a 720 Wh battery and a stated range of up to 90 miles (145 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 Ranger 2.0 carries up to 300 lb (136 kg) including the rider.

In the United States the Velowave Ranger 2.0 sells for $1,499, 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 Ranger 2.0 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 28 mph (45 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 Ranger 2.0 safety certification

The brand states that the Velowave Ranger 2.0 is certified to UL 2849.

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.
