Folding step-through with 20 x 3.0 tyres, a 60mm coil fork with lockout, steel full fenders and a rack integrated with the frame. Ships at 20 mph and adjusts from 12 to 28 mph (Class 1/2/3), with a removable thumb throttle. The spec table lists the motor as 48V, 750W, 70Nm; the upper spec block on the same page adds the 1050W peak. The 63 lb weight is marked on the page as without fenders, kickstand and pedals. Battery removability is not stated. Velotric publishes no model year, so 2026 is the year the page was read. The Fold 1 Plus ($1,499) on a separate page adds a switchable torque/cadence sensor, 75Nm and a larger display.

Safety certification: UL 2849: most models, confirm this one. Velotric states: “Most Velotric e-bikes are UL 2271 Recognized and UL 2849 Certified” (source). That is the manufacturer’s own claim, not something we verified, you can check a specific model in UL’s Product iQ database. Why this matters.
