Velotric T1 ST

The reach was good, 71°-73° angles is what they have, so a pretty road bike-ish style and it handled really well. A lot of times when I was riding with my wife, I had to keep checking,
“is this thing on?”

It feels really solid, it’s nice and zippy… descending feels natural with the semi-knobby tires. The front-end geometry is a little bit steep, the head tube angle could stand to be slackened out a little bit… The derailleur isn’t clutched, so when you’re plowing through chunky sections of trail, the chain does tend to slap around quite a bit…

There is a little bit of a delay between me stopping pedaling and when you actually stop getting motor power…nothing too crazy, nothing that’s, you know, dangerous or anything like that, but you notice it.

If you’re using it for smooth surfaces or riding in the city I think this is going to work just fine for you…

It doesn’t have a display so I don’t know how many miles I’ve put on this bike. Something else that I noticed when I was riding this e-bike is that I tend to actually shift more.

When you’re pedaling, even with the engine engaged you’re still engaged, and it really does feel more like a workout than other e-bikes that just try to feel like a motorcycle, so this is why this is easily my favorite e-bike of the year.

This is probably the most comfortable out of all the electric road bikes I’ve reviewed. I’m really enjoying this torque sensor… Great stopping power on the Tektro brakes… I’m an Android girl so I really wish that they could offer the tracking feature with Android devices.

I did do over 100 miles on this bike and it was very effortless… I found myself only turning on the pedal assist mode when I was going uphill because otherwise, it felt as light as a normal bike… there was definitely some chain slapping… I do think this thing is still worth it.

It’s really nice to see that it actually feels normal, it looks and feels like a normal bike.

The build and quality are solid…the frame feels sturdy and lightweight, it has a stealth look…, smooth welds, paint has a nice finish, …the ride was very smooth and comfortable for being a road bike, the saddle was wide enough for me and not too hard, there were no rattles, vibrations or noises and the steering was stable, and it handled well.

I put this relatively light, affordable e-bike to the test over a month of commuting to work… The Velotric T1 ST is an excellent choice for a commuter or biker who wants the speed from electric assist while still pedaling. Now, the downsides… removing the battery for charging was impossible. Next, I noticed somewhat inconsistent power from the motor…it was jerky.

A surprisingly powerful little package that gets you where you want to go. I think this e-bike is a wonderful urban commuter because the ability to easily carry the bike into apartments or office buildings is simple due to its size and weight.
