Bottom line

The Velowave Rover is a step-through fat-tire electric bike. It easily overcomes climbs and reaches speeds of 28mph with its “powerful” 750W hub motor. The bike is praised for its “excellent” stopping power and performance on mixed off-road terrains. Experts and owners appreciate the comfortable and stable ride, solid range, and responsive power. However, this is a heavy, bulky e-bike with a limited height range and lengthy charging time. While the Velowave Rover is considered a “good,” affordable fat-tire option, some owners report battery failure.
